Nginx 1.14.2 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 4 December 2018

Nginx 1.14.2 for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit builds) are now available for free download.

As always, packages are built from the upstream stable branch. Nginx (pronounced “engine x”) is a high performance web server, caching proxy and a Layer 7 load balancing solution. Due to its versatility, 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 2018-12-04, the stable version of Nginx 1.14.2 was released at nginx.org. The upstream changelog is as follows:

Changes with nginx 1.14.2 – 04 Dec 2018

) Bugfix: nginx could not be built by gcc 8.1.

) Bug fix: nginx could not be built on Fedora 28 Linux.

) Bugfix: in handling of client addresses when using unix domain listen sockets to work with datagrams on Linux.

) Change: the logging level of the “http request”, “https proxy request”, “unsupported protocol”, “version too low”, “no suitable key share”, and “no suitable signature algorithm” SSL errors has been lowered from “crit” to “info”.

) Bugfix: when using OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer it was not possible to switch off “ssl_prefer_server_ciphers” in a virtual server if it was switched on in the default server.

) Bugfix: nginx could not be built with LibreSSL 2.8.0.

) Bug fix: if nginx was built with OpenSSL 1.1.0 and used with OpenSSL 1.1.1, the TLS 1.3 protocol was always enabled.

) Bugfix: sending a disk-buffered request body to a gRPC backend might fail.

) Bug fix: connections with some gRPC backends might not be cached when using the “keepalive” directive.

) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if the ngx_http_mp4_module was used on 32-bit platforms.
