Unit 1.5 Released§
Hello,
I’m glad to announce a new release of NGINX Unit.
This release introduces preliminary Node.js support.
Currently it lacks WebSockets, and there’s a known problem with “promises”. However, our admirable users have already started testing it even before the release: https://medium.com/house-organ/what-an-absolute-unit-a36851e72554
Now it even easier, since Node.js package is published in npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/unit-http
So feel free to try it and give us feedback on:
- Github: https://github.com/nginx/unit/issues
- Mailing list: https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/unit
We will continue improving Node.js support in future releases.
Among other features we are working on right now: WebSockets, Java module, flexible request routing, and serving of static media assets.
Changes with Unit 1.5 25 Oct 2018
*) Change: the "type" of application object for Go was changed to
"external".
*) Feature: initial version of Node.js package with basic HTTP
request-response support.
*) Feature: compatibility with LibreSSL.
*) Feature: --libdir and --incdir ./configure options to install libunit
headers and static library.
*) Bugfix: connection might be closed prematurely while sending
response; the bug had appeared in 1.3.

producing "last message send failed: Resource temporarily
unavailable" alerts in log; the bug had appeared in 1.4.

library.
