Nginx 1.6.0, for Wheezy and Squeeze

Nginx 1.6.0 has been released on April 24th 2014 (exactly one year after 1.4.0), incorporating many new features/enhancements developed in the 1.5.x branch :

• support for SPDY 3.1,
• authentication via subrequests,
• SSL session ticket support,
• IPv6 support for DNS,
• Proxy protocol support
• and more… See the full Changelog and this blog post for more details.

As a consequence, packages of Nginx 1.6.0 are now available for both Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” and Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” (amd64/i386). Please note that :

• Pagespeed has been updated to version 1.8.31.2,
• ngx_http_auth_request is now enabled in every nginx flavor,
• the error_log directive cannot be used with syslog anymore.

For more details about which modules are included in the different Nginx flavors, just have to look at this document.

I hope you’ll love these new packages and, if so, feel free to show your support.
