NGINX Unit 1.8.0 introduces internal routing of requests based on host, URL, and HTTP method, This sets the framework for full Layer 7 request processing, necessary for further development of Unit's web server functionality.

NGINX Unit 1.5 adds support for Node.js applications, which extends the set of supported languages to six: Go, JavaScript (Node.js), Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby. It also adds support for encrypting connections with SSL/TLS, and dynamic updating of security certificates.

The "Deep Dive" track is a new feature at this year's NGINX Conf, with sessions by and for NGINX-savvy developers and DevOps experts. No high-level messaging, but plenty of practical information and curated code examples. Join us October 8–11 in Atlanta GA.

NGINX Unit 1.3, available now, adds configuration parameters for various timeouts, configurable request body size, Ansible integration, and more. As in previous releases, all parameters can be defined dynamically, with no disruption to running services or loss of connectivity.

NGINX Unit 1.2, available now, adds environment variables across application languages, versions, and sessions; php.ini configuration; and command-line configuration for Go executables. Parameters can still be defined dynamically, with no disruption to running services or loss of connectivity.

NGINX has inspired the move from the LAMP stack to the LEMP - Linux, (e)NGINX, MySQL, and PHP. Today, we are proud to announce the next step in highly capable technology stacks: LEMUR.

You can now download the Unit beta, version 0.6, with advanced process management, Perl support, an official Docker container, and more.

You can now download the Unit beta, version 0.3, with HTTP keep-alive, application timeouts, Python and Go improvements, and more.
