The support first appeared in OS X Mavericks 10.9 and documented since
OS X Yosemite 10.10.
It has a subtle implementation difference from other operating systems
in that the TCP_KEEPALIVE socket option (used in place of TCP_KEEPIDLE)
isn't inherited from a listening socket to an accepted socket.
An apparent reason for this behaviour is that it might be preserved for
the sake of backward compatibility. The TCP_KEEPALIVE socket option is
not inherited since appearance in OS X Panther 10.3, which long predates
two other TCP_KEEPINTVL and TCP_KEEPCNT socket options.
Thanks to Andy Pan for initial work.
Similarly to the QUIC API originated in BoringSSL, this API allows
to register custom TLS callbacks for an external QUIC implementation.
See the SSL_set_quic_tls_cbs manual page for details.
Due to a different approach used in OpenSSL 3.5, handling of CRYPTO
frames was streamlined to always write an incoming CRYPTO buffer to
the crypto context. Using SSL_provide_quic_data(), this results in
transient allocation of chain links and buffers for CRYPTO frames
received in order. Testing didn't reveal performance degradation of
QUIC handshakes, https://github.com/nginx/nginx/pull/646 provides
specific results.
All definitions now set in ngx_event_quic.h, this includes moving
NGX_QUIC_OPENSSL_COMPAT from autotests to compile time. Further,
to improve code readability, a new NGX_QUIC_QUICTLS_API macro is
used for QuicTLS that provides old BoringSSL QUIC API.
This extends the target selection implemented in dad6ec3aa6 to support
Windows ARM64 platforms. OpenSSL support for VC-WIN64-ARM target first
appeared in 1.1.1 and is present in all currently supported (3.x)
branches.
As a side effect, ARM64 Windows builds will get 16-byte alignment along
with the rest of non-x86 platforms. This is safe, as malloc on 64-bit
Windows guarantees the fundamental alignment of allocations, 16 bytes.
The build location of the resulting libatomic_ops.a was changed in v7.4.0
after converting libatomic_ops to use libtool. The fix is to use library
from the install path, this allows building with both old and new versions.

Added ngx_openssl_cache_module, which indexes a type-aware object cache.
It maps an id to a unique instance, and provides references to it, which
are dropped when the cycle's pool is destroyed.
The cache will be used in subsequent patches.
Based on previous work by Mini Hawthorne.
Using "long *" instead of "AO_t *" leads either to -Wincompatible-pointer-types
or -Wpointer-sign warnings, depending on whether long and size_t are compatible
types (e.g., ILP32 versus LP64 data models). Notably, -Wpointer-sign warnings
are enabled by default in Clang only, and -Wincompatible-pointer-types is an
error starting from GCC 14.

The module allows to pass connections from Stream to other modules such as HTTP
or Mail, as well as back to Stream. Previously, this was only possible with
proxying. Connections with preread buffer read out from socket cannot be
passed.
The module allows selective SSL termination based on SNI.
stream {
server {
listen 8000 default_server;
ssl_preread on;
...
}
server {
listen 8000;
server_name foo.example.com;
pass 127.0.0.1:8001; # to HTTP
}
server {
listen 8000;
server_name bar.example.com;
...
}
}
http {
server {
listen 8001 ssl;
...
location / {
root html;
}
}
}
With this change, the NGX_OPENSSL_NO_CONFIG macro is defined when nginx
is asked to build OpenSSL itself. And with this macro automatic loading
of OpenSSL configuration (from the build directory) is prevented unless
the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable is explicitly set.
Note that not loading configuration is broken in OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a
(fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1b, see https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/7350).
If nginx is used to compile these OpenSSL versions, configuring nginx with
NGX_OPENSSL_NO_CONFIG explicitly set to 0 might be used as a workaround.
Although it has better implementation status than HTTP/3 server push,
it remains of limited use, with adoption numbers seen as negligible.
Per IETF 102 materials, server push was used only in 0.04% of sessions.
It was considered to be "difficult to use effectively" in RFC 9113.
Its use is further limited by badly matching to fetch/cache/connection
models in browsers, see related discussions linked from [1].
Server push was disabled in Chrome 106 [2].
The http2_push, http2_push_preload, and http2_max_concurrent_pushes
directives are made obsolete. In particular, this essentially reverts
7201:641306096f5b and 7207:3d2b0b02bd3d.

To ensure proper target selection the NGX_MACHINE variable is now set
based on the MSVC compiler output, and the OpenSSL target is set based
on it.
This is not important as long as "no-asm" is used (as in misc/GNUmakefile
and win32 build instructions), but might be beneficial if someone is trying
to build OpenSSL with assembler code.
Previously, NGX_MACHINE was not set when crossbuilding, resulting in
NGX_ALIGNMENT=16 being used in 32-bit builds (if not explicitly set to a
correct value). This in turn might result in memory corruption in
ngx_palloc() (as there are no usable aligned allocator on Windows, and
normal malloc() is used instead, which provides 8 byte alignment on
32-bit platforms).
To fix this, now i386 machine is set when crossbuilding, so nginx won't
assume strict alignment requirements.
Output examples in English, Russian, and Spanish:
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for 80x86
Оптимизирующий 32-разрядный компилятор Microsoft (R) C/C++ версии 16.00.30319.01 для 80x86
Compilador de optimización de C/C++ de Microsoft (R) versión 16.00.30319.01 para x64
Since most of the words are translated, instead of looking for the words
"Compiler Version" we now search for "C/C++" and the version number.
In nginx source code the inttypes.h include, if available, is used to define
standard integer types. Changed the SO_COOKIE configure test to follow this.
Previously, QUIC used the existing UDP framework, which was created for UDP in
Stream. However the way QUIC connections are created and looked up is different
from the way UDP connections in Stream are created and looked up. Now these
two implementations are decoupled.
Starting with FreeBSD 11, there is no need to use AIO operations to preload
data into cache for sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) to work. Instead, sendfile()
handles non-blocking loading data from disk by itself. It still can, however,
return EBUSY if a page is already being loaded (for example, by a different
process). If this happens, we now post an event for the next event loop
iteration, so sendfile() is retried "after a short period", as manpage
recommends.
The limit of the number of EBUSY tolerated without any progress is preserved,
but now it does not result in an alert, since on an idle system event loop
iteration might be very short and EBUSY can happen many times in a row.
Instead, SF_NODISKIO is simply disabled for one call once the limit is
reached.
With this change, sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) is now used automatically as long as
sendfile() is enabled, and no longer requires "aio on;".
The PCRE2 library is now used by default if found, instead of the
original PCRE library. If needed for some reason, this can be disabled
with the --without-pcre2 configure option.
To make it possible to specify paths to the library and include files
via --with-cc-opt / --with-ld-opt, the library is first tested without
any additional paths and options. If this fails, the pcre2-config script
is used.
Similarly to the original PCRE library, it is now possible to build PCRE2
from sources with nginx configure, by using the --with-pcre= option.
It automatically detects if PCRE or PCRE2 sources are provided.
Note that compiling PCRE2 10.33 and later requires inttypes.h. When
compiling on Windows with MSVC, inttypes.h is only available starting
with MSVC 2013. In older versions some replacement needs to be provided
("echo '#include <stdint.h>' > pcre2-10.xx/src/inttypes.h" is good enough
for MSVC 2010).
The interface on nginx side remains unchanged.
ngx_http_v3_tables.h and ngx_http_v3_tables.c are renamed to
ngx_http_v3_table.h and ngx_http_v3_table.c to better match HTTP/2 code.
ngx_http_v3_streams.h and ngx_http_v3_streams.c are renamed to
ngx_http_v3_uni.h and ngx_http_v3_uni.c to better match their content.
OpenSSL library QUIC support cannot be tested at configure time when
using the --with-openssl option so assume it's present if requested.
While here, fixed the error message in case QUIC support is missing.
To improve output performance, UDP segmentation offloading is used
if available. If there is a significant amount of data in an output
queue and path is verified, QUIC packets are not sent one-by-one,
but instead are collected in a buffer, which is then passed to kernel
in a single sendmsg call, using UDP GSO. Such method greatly decreases
number of system calls and thus system load.
