       was handled incorrectly (CVE-2013-4547); the bug had appeared in
       0.8.41.
       Thanks to Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team.

       provided has been lowered from "error" to "info".

    *) Feature: the "ssl_session_ticket_key" directive.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) Bugfix: the directive "add_header Cache-Control ''" added a
       "Cache-Control" response header line with an empty value.

    *) Bugfix: the "satisfy any" directive might return 403 error instead of
       401 if auth_request and auth_basic directives were used.
       Thanks to Jan Marc Hoffmann.

    *) Bugfix: the "accept_filter" and "deferred" parameters of the "listen"
       directive were ignored for listen sockets created during binary
       upgrade.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) Bugfix: some data received from a backend with unbufferred proxy
       might not be sent to a client immediately if "gzip" or "gunzip"
       directives were used.
       Thanks to Yichun Zhang.

    *) Bugfix: in error handling in ngx_http_gunzip_filter_module.

    *) Bugfix: responses might hang if the ngx_http_spdy_module was used
       with the "auth_request" directive.
