*) Feature: the "set" parameter of the "include" SSI directive now
allows writing arbitrary responses to a variable; the
"subrequest_output_buffer_size" directive defines maximum response

Thanks to Johannes Baiter and Calin Don.

"http2_push_preload" directives.
*) Bugfix: "header already sent" alerts might appear in logs when using
cache; the bug had appeared in 1.9.13.

"ssl_verify_client" directive was used and no SSL certificate was
specified in a virtual server.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_v2_module.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_dav_module.
Changes with nginx 1.13.8 26 Dec 2017
*) Feature: now nginx automatically preserves the CAP_NET_RAW capability

"uwsgi_bind" directives.
*) Feature: improved CPU cache line size detection.
Thanks to Debayan Ghosh.

process with PID different from 1 after its parent process has
finished.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_autoindex_module incorrectly handled requests
with bodies.
*) Bugfix: in the "proxy_limit_rate" directive when used with the
"keepalive" directive.

"proxy_buffering off" if the client connection used SSL.
Thanks to Patryk Lesiewicz.
*) Bugfix: in the "proxy_cache_background_update" directive.
*) Bugfix: it was not possible to start a parameter with a variable in
the "${name}" form with the name in curly brackets without enclosing
the parameter into single or double quotes.

memory zone size was changed during a reconfiguration and the
reconfiguration failed.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_fastcgi_module.
*) Bugfix: nginx returned the 500 error if parameters without variables
were specified in the "xslt_stylesheet" directive.
*) Workaround: "gzip filter failed to use preallocated memory" alerts
appeared in logs when using a zlib library variant from Intel.
*) Bugfix: the "worker_shutdown_timeout" directive did not work when
using mail proxy and when proxying WebSocket connections.
Changes with nginx 1.13.6 10 Oct 2017
*) Bugfix: switching to the next upstream server in the stream module
did not work when using the "ssl_preread" directive.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_v2_module.
Thanks to Piotr Sikora.
*) Bugfix: nginx did not support dates after the year 2038 on 32-bit
platforms with 64-bit time_t.
*) Bugfix: in handling of dates prior to the year 1970 and after the
year 10000.
*) Bugfix: in the stream module timeouts waiting for UDP datagrams from

parameter of the "geo" directive did not work on Windows.
*) Bugfix: incorrect response length was returned on 32-bit platforms
when requesting more than 4 gigabytes with multiple ranges.
*) Bugfix: the "expires modified" directive and processing of the
"If-Range" request header line did not use the response last
modification time if proxying without caching was used.
Changes with nginx 1.13.4 08 Aug 2017
*) Feature: the ngx_http_mirror_module.
*) Bugfix: client connections might be dropped during configuration
testing when using the "reuseport" parameter of the "listen"
directive on Linux.
*) Bugfix: request body might not be available in subrequests if it was
saved to a file and proxying was used.
*) Bugfix: cleaning cache based on the "max_size" parameter did not work
on Windows.
*) Bugfix: any shared memory allocation required 4096 bytes on Windows.
*) Bugfix: nginx worker might be terminated abnormally when using the
"zone" directive inside the "upstream" block on Windows.
Changes with nginx 1.13.3 11 Jul 2017
*) Security: a specially crafted request might result in an integer

potentially resulting in sensitive information leak (CVE-2017-7529).

with 0 is requested from an empty file.

attacker who is able to forge UDP packets from the DNS server to
cause segmentation fault in a worker process (CVE-2016-0742).

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).
