The directives can be used inside locations. The redirect directive was canceled. *) Feature: the ngx_http_geo_module. *) Feature: the proxy_set_x_var and fastcgi_set_var directives. *) Bugfix: the location configuration with "=" modifier may be used in another location. *) Bugfix: the correct content type was set only for requests that use small caps letters in extension. *) Bugfix: if the proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass directives were set in the location, and access was denied, and the error was redirected to a static page, then the segmentation fault occurred. *) Bugfix: if in a proxied "Location" header was a relative URL, then a host name and a slash were added to them; bug appeared in 0.1.14. *) Bugfix: the system error message was not logged on Linux.

       small caps letters in extension.

    *) Bugfix: if the proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass directives were set in the 
       location, and access was denied, and the error was redirected to a 
       static page, then the segmentation fault occurred.

    *) Bugfix: if in a proxied "Location" header was a relative URL, then a 
       host name and a slash were added to them; bug appeared in 0.1.14.
