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.

thx for ths build, you may add a warning, as error_log syslog is no longer supported.
@vixns : thanks for the notice, I now mention it in the announcement.
Thanks a lot for the new release!
not sure if this has anything to do with this particular package but after the update nginx failed to start. service nginx stop/start didn’t help, only after I did a killall -9 nginx followed by service nginx start did it finally work out…
@ Ovidiu:
Hm, no problems at all with my systems. Update of Nginx was smooth and without any issues.
Thanks again!
Installed and running fine.
I’m getting a 502 Bad Gateway for every php files after upgrade from 1.4.7 to 1.6
I’m using PHP5-fpm
I reply myself : It was related to PHP’s upgrade.
It’s explain in the note of this page : http://localhost:8080/2014/05/07/php-5-5-12-for-debian-wheezy/
With naxsi 0.53-1, great !
Thanks a lot
Where can I find the build instruction for the installation of nginx?
I need to add more modules then the default can offer.
Please help.
hello,
If I want to change nginx installation from nginx-full to nginx-extras, should I uninstall first or just install nginx-extras directly?
Thanks
@dave : you can switch from any nginx flavor, the configuration is kept by nginx-common
Thank you, Sir
Heya! Are you going to include ngx redis module in the future ? Thanks for all!
Is there any chance of having ngx_http_auth_digest included in a future version of nginx-extras?
@Oliver : could you please fill in the feature request (https://github.com/gplessis/dotdeb-nginx/issues), I’ll take a look at it in the next releases.
Hi,
Was wondering if there is an update planned soon. As per https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ngx-pagespeed-discuss/moY9tXF5TFc, ngx_pagespeed has a security upgrade released last week.
@Vidyut : thanks for the notice, I’ll take a look at it this week-end.
