Another release has taken place in the current mainline branch of the nginx web server. The 1.17 branch is under active development, while the current stable branch (1.16) is only getting bug fixes.
- Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur at startup or during reconfiguration if the rewrite directive with an empty replacement string was used in the configuration.
- Bug Fix: A segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if the break directive was used in conjunction with an alias directive or a proxy_pass directive with a URI.
- Bugfix: The Location header line of the response could contain garbage if the request URI was changed to a URI containing a null character.
- Bugfix: when returning redirects using the "error_page" directive, requests with a body were processed incorrectly; the bug appeared in 0.7.12.
- Fix: Socket leaks when using HTTP/2.
- Bugfix: A timeout might occur while processing pipelined requests over an SSL connection; the bug appeared in 1.17.5.
- Fix: in ngx_http_dav_module.
