[ANN] OpenResty 1.9.15.1 RC1 now available for testing

agentzh

Hi folks,

I've just kicked out OpenResty 1.9.15.1 RC1 for testing:

    https://openresty.org/download/openresty-1.9.15.1rc1.tar.gz

PGP for this source tarball:

    https://openresty.org/download/openresty-1.9.15.1rc1.tar.gz.asc

Win32 version:

    https://openresty.org/download/openresty-1.9.15.1rc1-win32.zip

PGP for the Win32 zip file:

    https://openresty.org/download/openresty-1.9.15.1rc1-win32.zip.asc

The highlights of this release are:

1. New NGINX 1.9.15 core.

2. LuaJIT now supports (almost) the full 2GB address space for its
GC-managed memory per VM instance on x86_64 (as compared to the
previous 1GB memory limit on x86_64).

Complete list of changes since the last (formal) release, 1.9.7.4:

 *   upgraded the Nginx core to 1.9.15.

     *   see the changes here: http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES

 *   upgraded ngx_lua to 0.10.4.

     *   feature: linux x64: now we try limiting the growth of the
         data segment of the nginx processes to preserve as much
         lowest address space for LuaJIT as possible. thanks Shuxin
         Yang for the help.

     *   bugfix: init_worker_by_lua* did not honor "http {}"
         top-level configurations like lua_ssl_verify_depth and
         lua_ssl_trusted_certificate. thanks Vladimir Shaykovskiy for
         the report.

     *   bugfix: ngx.exit() could not be used in the context of
         balancer_by_lua* when lua-resty-core was used.

     *   bugfix: *_by_lua_block: fixed Lua long bracket parsing at
         buffer boundaries. thanks Maxim Ivanov and Tom Thorogood for
         the report.

     *   bugfix: ngx.req.append_body() might enter infinite loops
         when ngx.req.init_body() has not specified a buffer size and
         the request header "Content-Length" is 0 (or
         client_body_buffer_size is configured to 0). thanks Hai for
         the report and Dejiang Zhu for the patch.

     *   bugfix: ngx.re.match: the 5th argument hid the 4th one.
         thanks iorichina for the report and rako9000 for the
         original patch.

     *   bugfix: ngx.worker.id() should return "nil" in non-worker
         processes like nginx's cache managers. thanks Weixie Cui for
         the patch.

     *   bugfix: fixed a memory leak in cert_pem_to_der(), caught by
         valgrind.

     *   bugfix: ignore unexpected closing long-brackets in
         *_by_lua_block directives. thanks Thibault Charbonnier for
         the patch.

     *   bugfix: changing peers in balancer_by_lua* might lead to
         stale values of upstream_addr.

     *   bugfix: clear errors in ngx.ssl and ngx.ocsp functions to
         avoid flooding nginx error logs. thanks Hamish for the
         original patch.

     *   bugfix: tcpsock:sslhandshake() did not correctly check
         argument count. thanks Ilya Shipitsin for the report.

     *   bugfix: tcpsock:sslhandshake() accepts up to 5 arguments now
         (including the object itself).

     *   bugfix: assignment to ngx.status might not affect subsequent
         ngx.status reads when error_page had already taken place.
         thanks wangwei4514 for the report.

     *   refactor: refactored the implementation of the ngx.semaphore
         API.

     *   doc: typo fixes from Christos Trochalakis.

 *   upgraded lua-resty-core to 0.1.6.

     *   feature: implemented ngx.worker.id() and ngx.worker.count()
         with FFI. thanks Yuansheng Wang for the patch.

     *   bugfix: Lua's tail-call optimization might unexpectedly make
         ngx.semaphore objects get garbage-collected prematurely even
         when there're still waiters. this could happen when
         lua_check_client_abort is enabled. thanks Dejiang Zhu for
         the patch.

     *   doc: ngx.semaphore: documented the "timeout" argument of
         "wait()" in more detail.

     *   doc: typo fixes from Alessandro Ghedini.

     *   doc: formatting fixes from ms2008.

 *   upgraded lua-resty-memcached to 0.14.

     *   optimize: reduced table.concat() calls while constructing
         memcached requests, which can lead to fewer Lua string
         creation operations.

     *   bugfix: "get()" did not return server error responses.
         thanks Lorenz Bauer for the report.

     *   bugfix: "gets()" did not return server error responses.
         thanks Lorenz Bauer for the report.

     *   bugfix: "get()": simplified the error messages so that the
         caller can check the error more easily.

     *   feature: "set_timeout()" now returns the result of the
         operation. thanks Guanlan Dai for the report.

 *   upgraded lua-cjson to 2.1.0.4.

     *   feature: added the "cjson.as_array" metamethod to enforce
         empty array encoding. thanks Thibault Charbonnier for the
         patch.

     *   bugfix: fixed the 16 decimal number encoding assertion.
         thanks Thibault Charbonnier for the patch.

     *   doc: added proper documentation for OpenResty's fork of
         lua-cjson. thanks Thibault Charbonnier for the patch.

 *   upgraded LuaJIT to v2.1-20160517:
     https://github.com/openresty/luajit2/tags

     *   imported Mike Pall's latest changes:

Sorry, for got to mention that another highlight is the new restydoc
command-line utility. Ensure you have added <prefix>/bin to your PATH
environment, as in

    export PATH=/usr/local/openresty/bin:$PATH

assuming your are using the default OpenResty prefix
(/usr/local/openresty). Then you can try the following commands from
your terminal:

    restydoc -s listen

    restydoc -s content_by_lua

    restydoc resty.lrucache

    restydoc -s ngx.re.match ngx_lua

    restydoc ngx_http_proxy

Hopefully you'll have fun with this tool :)

Added the missed items below (sorry, long change log :)):

 *   feature: added restydoc documentation indexes for the official
     nginx core and most of the official openresty components.

 *   upgraded resty-cli to 0.07rc3.

     *   added new command-line utility, restydoc, for viewing
         OpenResty/Nginx documentation on the terminal (inspired by
         Perl's "perldoc" utility) via "groff" (used by "man" as
         well).

     *   added new command-line utility, md2pod.pl, for converting
         GitHub-flavored Markdown source to Perl's POD format.

     *   added new command-line utility, restydoc-index, for
         generating the documentation indexes by scanning Markdown
         and POD document files in user-specified directories, which
         can be used by the restydoc tool.

     *   added new command-line utility, nginx-xml2pod, for
         converting NGINX's official XML-formatted documentation to
         Perl's POD format.

Hi Yichun,

Is it possible to get a new release of lua-resty-redis rolled into this version too?

We ran into an issue with boolean values in hmset just yesterday which looks to be fixed here

Would be great if that fix was included in the next release!

Thanks

Hamish

Yes, lua-resty-redis 0.23 will get included in the next RC2 version. I
meant to include it in RC1 but somehow I missed it due to too many
other changes :)

Thanks for bringing it up to my attention!
