       backend response header line.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_spdy_module.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

       "post_action" directive was used; the bug had appeared in 1.5.4.

    *) Bugfix: alerts "the http output chain is empty" might appear in logs
       if the "postpone_output 0" directive was used with SSI includes.

       "fastcgi_ignore_headers", "scgi_ignore_headers", and
       "uwsgi_ignore_headers" directives.

    *) Bugfix: the last part of a response received from a backend with
       unbufferred proxy might not be sent to a client if "gzip" or "gunzip"
       directives were used.

    *) Bugfix: in the "proxy_cache_revalidate" directive.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

       if a shared SSL session cache or the same TLS session ticket key was
       used for multiple "server" blocks (CVE-2014-3616).
       Thanks to Antoine Delignat-Lavaud.

1.9.1


Well, the Changelog changes depending what's published. Currently it's
http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES - but when a 1.10 or a 2.0 will be released,
it's going to be http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.9 (but this file currently
doesn't exists :/)

Aaand - even if http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.9 would exists, it will
include even the changes for a potential 1.9.6, 1.9.7 ... regardless
we have updated to those versions ...
