Below is a summary of the main incompatible changes. +Some nginx directives have been changed or removed, so you may need to modify +your configuration. + +Please see upstream release notes for a complete list of new features, +bug fixes, and changes: http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.10 +One notable feature is support for HTTP/2. + +Nginx gained support for dynamic modules. As part of this update, dynamic +modules have been split into subpackages. For the time being these are hard +dependencies to aid the upgrade path. When you install nginx, all of these +modules are installed and enabled by default: + - nginx-mod-http-geoip + - nginx-mod-http-image-filter + - nginx-mod-http-perl + - nginx-mod-http-xslt-filter + - nginx-mod-mail + - nginx-mod-stream + +Changes with nginx 1.10.x + + *) 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. + + *) Change: now the "output_buffers" directive uses two buffers by + default. + + *) Change: now nginx limits subrequests recursion, not simultaneous + subrequests. + + *) Change: now nginx checks the whole cache key when returning a + response from cache. + Thanks to Gena Makhomed and Sergey Brester. + + *) Change: the "proxy_downstream_buffer" and "proxy_upstream_buffer" + directives of the stream module are replaced with the + "proxy_buffer_size" directive. + + *) Change: duplicate "http", "mail", and "stream" blocks are now + disallowed. + + *) Change: now SSLv3 protocol is disabled by default. + + *) Change: some long deprecated directives are not supported anymore. + + *) Change: obsolete aio and rtsig event methods have been removed. + +Changes with nginx 1.8.x + + *) Change: the "sendfile" parameter of the "aio" directive is + deprecated; now nginx automatically uses AIO to pre-load data for + sendfile if both "aio" and "sendfile" directives are used. + + *) Change: now the "If-Modified-Since", "If-Range", etc. client request + header lines are passed to a backend while caching if nginx knows in + advance that the response will not be cached (e.g., when using + proxy_cache_min_uses). + + *) Change: now after proxy_cache_lock_timeout nginx sends a request to a + backend with caching disabled; the new directives + "proxy_cache_lock_age", "fastcgi_cache_lock_age", + "scgi_cache_lock_age", and "uwsgi_cache_lock_age" specify a time + after which the lock will be released and another attempt to cache a + response will be made. + + *) Change: the "log_format" directive can now be used only at http + level. + + *) Change: now nginx takes into account the "Vary" header line in a + backend response while caching. + + *) Change: the deprecated "limit_zone" directive is not supported + anymore. + + *) Change: now the "stub_status" directive does not require a parameter. + + *) Change: URI escaping now uses uppercase hexadecimal digits. + Thanks to Piotr Sikora. + |
