    *) Feature: variables support in the stream module.

    *) Feature: the ngx_stream_map_module.

    *) Feature: the ngx_stream_return_module.

    *) Feature: a port can be specified in the "proxy_bind", "fastcgi_bind",
       "memcached_bind", "scgi_bind", and "uwsgi_bind" directives.

    *) Feature: now nginx uses the IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT socket option

    *) Feature: the "map" directive supports combinations of multiple
       variables as resulting values.

    *) Feature: now nginx checks if EPOLLRDHUP events are supported by
       kernel, and optimizes connection handling accordingly if the "epoll"
       method is used.

       rejecting requests to a virtual server different from one negotiated
       during an SSL handshake; this improves interoperability with some
       HTTP/2 clients when using client certificates.

    *) Change: HTTP/2 clients can now start sending request body
       immediately; the "http2_body_preread_size" directive controls size of
       the buffer used before nginx will start reading client request body.

       appear in logs when using the "sendfile" and "aio" directives with
       subrequests.

    *) Bugfix: "zero size buf in output" alerts might appear in logs if
       caching was used and a client closed a connection prematurely.

    *) Bugfix: connections with clients might be closed needlessly if
       caching was used.
       Thanks to Justin Li.

    *) Bugfix: nginx might hog CPU if the "sendfile" directive was used on
       Linux or Solaris and a file being sent was changed during sending.

    *) Security: invalid pointer dereference might occur during DNS server
       response processing if the "resolver" directive was used, allowing an
       attacker who is able to forge UDP packets from the DNS server to
       cause segmentation fault in a worker process (CVE-2016-0742).

    *) Security: use-after-free condition might occur during CNAME response
       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).

    *) Bugfix: the last part of a response received from a backend with
       unbufferred proxy might not be sent to a client if "gzip" or "gunzip"
       directives were used.
