Any upcoming releases with more recent Nginx version ?

[Dragos Dascalita Haut]

Hi, 

I'd like to make use of a directive that appeared in Nginx 1.7.11 ( http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_request_buffering ), but the latest Openresty release is based on Nginx 1.7.10 as of today. 

I'm thinking to build Openresty myself but I'm wondering if there's any plan for a release, or if there's any blocker with newer Nginx versions.

Thanks,

dragos

Yes, I'm aware of that.

Yes, there will be an OpenResty release based on the nginx 1.9.x core
(which of course includes everything 1.7.11 has) in the next month.
But before that, I have to kick off the OpenResty 1.7.10.2 release out
of the door first (in the next week probably).

Thanks!

That's awesome agentzh. Thanks for your hard work releasing new versions. 

I've seen that 1.7.10.2 release is already out which is great !

Since the next release is going to be based on nginx 1.9.x I'm thinking to try that out myself and skip 1.7.11. In the interim any idea if the Openresty release next month is happening in the first or second half of the month ? 

Thanks,

Well, it was a release candidate, not the formal one yet ;)

Okay.

I'll try to hit the first half but it MAY get delayed if the
incompatibles with the latest 1.9.x release at that tim takes longer
than what I can now expect.

It'll be great if you can try out the latest release candidate,
1.7.10.2 RC1, on your side, which can help ensure there's no other
unexpected things in our way :)

Thanks!
