+       requests passed to backends, including requests without body, when
+       using HTTP/2.
+
+    *) Bugfix: "http request count is zero" alerts might appear in logs when
+       using HTTP/2.
+
+    *) Bugfix: unnecessary buffering might occur when using the "sub_filter"
+       directive; the issue had appeared in 1.9.4.
+
+
+Changes with nginx 1.11.1                                        31 May 2016
+
+    *) Security: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process while
+       writing a specially crafted request body to a temporary file
+       (CVE-2016-4450); the bug had appeared in 1.3.9.
+
+
+Changes with nginx 1.11.0                                        24 May 2016
+
+    *) Feature: the "transparent" parameter of the "proxy_bind",
+       "fastcgi_bind", "memcached_bind", "scgi_bind", and "uwsgi_bind"
+       directives.
+
+    *) Feature: the $request_id variable.
+
+    *) Feature: the "map" directive supports combinations of multiple
+       variables as resulting values.
+
+    *) Feature: now nginx checks if EPOLLRDHUP events are supported by
+       kernel, and optimizes connection handling accordingly if the "epoll"
+       method is used.
+
+    *) Feature: the "ssl_certificate" and "ssl_certificate_key" directives
+       can be specified multiple times to load certificates of different
+       types (for example, RSA and ECDSA).
+
+    *) Feature: the "ssl_ecdh_curve" directive now allows specifying a list
+       of curves when using OpenSSL 1.0.2 or newer; by default a list built
+       into OpenSSL is used.
+
+    *) Change: to use DHE ciphers it is now required to specify parameters
+       using the "ssl_dhparam" directive.
+
+    *) Feature: the $proxy_protocol_port variable.
+
+    *) Feature: the $realip_remote_port variable in the
+       ngx_http_realip_module.
+
+    *) Feature: the ngx_http_realip_module is now able to set the client
+       port in addition to the address.
+
+    *) Change: the "421 Misdirected Request" response now used when
+       rejecting requests to a virtual server different from one negotiated
+       during an SSL handshake; this improves interoperability with some
+       HTTP/2 clients when using client certificates.
+
+    *) Change: HTTP/2 clients can now start sending request body
+       immediately; the "http2_body_preread_size" directive controls size of
+       the buffer used before nginx will start reading client request body.
+
+    *) Bugfix: cached error responses were not updated when using the
+       "proxy_cache_bypass" directive.
+
+
+Changes with nginx 1.9.15                                        19 Apr 2016
+
+    *) Bugfix: "recv() failed" errors might occur when using HHVM as a
+       FastCGI server.
+
+    *) Bugfix: when using HTTP/2 and the "limit_req" or "auth_request"
+       directives a timeout or a "client violated flow control" error might
+       occur while reading client request body; the bug had appeared in
+       1.9.14.
+
+    *) Workaround: a response might not be shown by some browsers if HTTP/2
+       was used and client request body was not fully read; the bug had
+       appeared in 1.9.14.
+
+    *) Bugfix: connections might hang when using the "aio threads"
+       directive.
+       Thanks to Mindaugas Rasiukevicius.
+

+       now work with HTTP/2.
+
+    *) Bugfix: "zero size buf in output" alerts might appear in logs when
+       using HTTP/2.
+
+    *) Bugfix: the "client_max_body_size" directive might work incorrectly
+       when using HTTP/2.

+
+    *) Change: non-idempotent requests (POST, LOCK, PATCH) are no longer
+       passed to the next server by default if a request has been sent to a
+       backend; the "non_idempotent" parameter of the "proxy_next_upstream"
+       directive explicitly allows retrying such requests.
+
+    *) Feature: the ngx_http_perl_module can be built dynamically.
+
+    *) Feature: UDP support in the stream module.
+
+    *) Feature: the "aio_write" directive.
+
+    *) Feature: now cache manager monitors number of elements in caches and
+       tries to avoid cache keys zone overflows.
+
+    *) Bugfix: "task already active" and "second aio post" alerts might
+       appear in logs when using the "sendfile" and "aio" directives with
+       subrequests.
+
+    *) Bugfix: "zero size buf in output" alerts might appear in logs if
+       caching was used and a client closed a connection prematurely.
+
+    *) Bugfix: connections with clients might be closed needlessly if
+       caching was used.
+       Thanks to Justin Li.
+
+    *) Bugfix: nginx might hog CPU if the "sendfile" directive was used on
+       Linux or Solaris and a file being sent was changed during sending.
+
+    *) Bugfix: connections might hang when using the "sendfile" and "aio
+       threads" directives.
+
+    *) Bugfix: in the "proxy_pass", "fastcgi_pass", "scgi_pass", and
+       "uwsgi_pass" directives when using variables.
+       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.
+
+    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_sub_filter_module.
+
+    *) Bugfix: if an error occurred in a cached backend connection, the
+       request was passed to the next server regardless of the
+       proxy_next_upstream directive.
+
+    *) Bugfix: "CreateFile() failed" errors when creating temporary files on
+       Windows.
+
+
+Changes with nginx 1.9.12                                        24 Feb 2016

+       appeared in 1.9.11.
+       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.
+
+    *) Bugfix: nginx could not be built statically with OpenSSL on Linux;
+       the bug had appeared in 1.9.11.
+
+    *) Bugfix: the "add_header ... always" directive with an empty value did
+       not delete "Last-Modified" and "ETag" header lines from error
+       responses.
+
+    *) Workaround: "called a function you should not call" and "shutdown
+       while in init" messages might appear in logs when using OpenSSL
+       1.0.2f.
+
+    *) Bugfix: invalid headers might be logged incorrectly.
+
+    *) Bugfix: socket leak when using HTTP/2.

+
+
+Changes with nginx 1.9.10                                        26 Jan 2016
+
+    *) Security: invalid pointer dereference might occur during DNS server
+       response processing if the "resolver" directive was used, allowing an
+       attacker who is able to forge UDP packets from the DNS server to
+       cause segmentation fault in a worker process (CVE-2016-0742).
+
+    *) Security: use-after-free condition might occur during CNAME response
+       processing if the "resolver" directive was used, allowing an attacker
+       who is able to trigger name resolution to cause segmentation fault in
+       a worker process, or might have potential other impact
+       (CVE-2016-0746).
+
+    *) Security: CNAME resolution was insufficiently limited if the
+       "resolver" directive was used, allowing an attacker who is able to
+       trigger arbitrary name resolution to cause excessive resource
+       consumption in worker processes (CVE-2016-0747).
+
+    *) Feature: the "auto" parameter of the "worker_cpu_affinity" directive.
+
+    *) Bugfix: the "proxy_protocol" parameter of the "listen" directive did
+       not work with IPv6 listen sockets.
+
+    *) Bugfix: connections to upstream servers might be cached incorrectly
+       when using the "keepalive" directive.
+
+    *) Bugfix: proxying used the HTTP method of the original request after
+       an "X-Accel-Redirect" redirection.
+
+

+       possible to use the HTTP/2 protocol even if the "http2" parameter of
+       the "listen" directive was not specified.
+
+    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_v2_module.
+

+       "scgi_limit_rate", and "uwsgi_limit_rate" directives.
+
+    *) Feature: the "Vary" parameter of the "proxy_ignore_headers",
+       "fastcgi_ignore_headers", "scgi_ignore_headers", and
+       "uwsgi_ignore_headers" directives.
+
