There's no real announcement. Check the date :)


There are no changes. We've always had unicode support. We had some fun and created several silly configs :)

Aww man you need to make these actually work! Would nginx accept a pull request? :D


Well, they do! Pull requests welcome, too :) https://github.com/nginxinc/website-resources-conf/blob/mast...


We've just posted a blog post "Introducing Dynamic Modules in NGINX 1.9.11." https://www.nginx.com/blog/dynamic-modules-nginx-1-9-11/

We'll take a read through the comments here and are looking forward to answering questions and receive feedback. You may also email the NGINX development mailing list (info in blog post).

Hey :)

I've just created a separate HN submission pointing to your blog post.

I hope you don't mind.

Keep up the amazing work!

Do you guys use a recruiting agency called Adeptima? I got an email from someone there today claiming to be recruiting for you and it seemed a little sketchy.


The name is familiar though it's not our primary recruiting firm. If you're unsure, you can forward me the email.


It's a common question. As you correctly noted in the changelog, the vast majority of features have been placed in the open source version. The commercial product has gained great visibility and adoption but open source NGINX is very core to our company. In fact, development and feature releases to open source NGINX have rapidly increased since the inception of NGINX, Inc (the company) because it can support the development efforts :)

Have you seen nginScript (1)? It's a syntax for embedding snippets of JavaScript in your NGINX configuration. This allows for scripting application logic into standard NGINX config files via a very common and simple language. There's some more details and simple examples at this blog post.

Okay, but you have to escape this in the Nginx config! Same issue with Lua! And this is terrible!


there is these days _by_lua_block.


Thanks! This is really great:

    content_by_lua_block {
        ngx.say("hello, world")
    }


The HTTP/2 module of NGINX is (and has been) fully open source. https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-9-5/

I agree, the title was shortened after I shared the link here.
