Nginx 1.13.1 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 1 June 2017

Nginx 1.13.1 for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit builds) are now available for free download. As always, packages are built from the upstream mainline branch. Nginx (pronounced “engine x”) is a high performance web server, caching proxy and a Layer 7 load balancing solution. Millions of web sites on the Internet use and benefit from Nginx because of its extreme performance, scalability, reliability, flexibility, and security.

Note: these builds are built with older versions of OpenSSL and therefore SSL/TLS is NOT recommended for use. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Using http only is recommended.

On 2017-05-30, the mainline version of Nginx 1.13.1 was released at nginx.org. The upstream changelog is as follows:

Changes with nginx 1.13.1 – 30 May 2017

) Feature: now a hostname can be used as the “set_real_ip_from” directive parameter.

) Feature: vim syntax highlighting scripts improvements.

) Feature: the “worker_cpu_affinity” directive now works on DragonFly BSD. Thanks to Sepherosa Ziehau.

) Bugfix: SSL renegotiation on backend connections did not work when using OpenSSL before 1.1.0.

) Workaround: nginx could not be built with Oracle Developer Studio 12.5.

) Workaround: now cache manager ignores long locked cache entries when cleaning cache based on the “max_size” parameter.

) Bugfix: client SSL connections were immediately closed if deferred accept and the “proxy_protocol” parameter of the “listen” directive were used.

) Bugfix: in the “proxy_cache_background_update” directive.

) Workaround: now the “tcp_nodelay” directive sets the TCP_NODELAY option before an SSL handshake.
