Nginx has officially launched version 1.29.2, the latest iteration of its mainline web server software. This release introduces numerous enhancements and bug fixes aimed at improving the software's stability and performance, particularly in complex environments with diverse protocols and security features.
A key highlight of this update is the incorporation of AWS-LC support, made possible by the contributions of Samuel Chiang. Additionally, several critical bugs have been addressed, including:
- The resolution of SSL handshake failures when utilizing TLSv1.3, particularly in scenarios involving client certificates and session resumption with varying SNI values. This issue was first identified in version 1.27.4.
- Proper functionality of the "ssl_protocols" directive even within virtual servers that differ from the default server, especially when using OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later versions.
- Removal of alerts related to stale global SSL errors in logs when employing QUIC alongside the "ssl_reject_handshake" directive, a problem that has been persistent since version 1.29.0, now fixed thanks to Vladimir Homutov.
- Corrections made to the processing of delta-seconds in the "Cache-Control" backend response header line.
- Fixing an issue where the XCLIENT command was not applying the xtext encoding correctly.
- Resolution of SSL certificate caching problems during reconfiguration.
As a comprehensive web server solution, Nginx 1.29.2 continues to provide a wide array of functionalities, including HTTP and reverse proxy services, content caching, load balancing, TCP/UDP proxying, and mail proxying.
For further details and a complete list of changes, users are encouraged to refer to the official CHANGES log available at nginx.org. The ongoing development of Nginx reflects its commitment to enhancing user experience and software reliability, ensuring that it remains a leading choice for web server solutions.
In future releases, we can anticipate even more features and improvements, potentially focusing on further integration with cloud services, enhanced security protocols, and optimizations for emerging web technologies
