Nginx 1.9.5 for Windows

My apologies for the delay – I was at Nginx.Conf 2015 in San Francisco and my Windows machine was inaccessible in New York!

Nginx 1.9.5 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.

On 2015-09-22, the mainline version of Nginx 1.9.5 was released at nginx.org. The upstream changelog is as follows:

Changes with nginx 1.9.5 — 22 Sep 2015

• ) Feature: the ngx_http_v2_module (replaces ngx_http_spdy_module). Thanks to Dropbox and Automattic for sponsoring this work.
• ) Change: now the “output_buffers” directive uses two buffers by default.
• ) Change: now nginx limits subrequests recursion, not simultaneous subrequests.
• ) Change: now nginx checks the whole cache key when returning a response from cache. Thanks to Gena Makhomed and Sergey Brester.

• ) Bugfix: in invalid configurations handling. Thanks to Markus Linnala.

These Windows install files are provided to support legacy users who still use the Cygwin based builds. Before nginx.org starting providing native Windows packages, these were the only way to run Nginx on Windows. Now, official native Windows builds are available and supported at nginx.org. Please use those if you are new to Nginx on Windows. Once again, they are fully supported and available for download at nginx.org.
