Nginx 1.23.3 Release Overview and Key Changes

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a lightweight web server, reverse‑proxy server, and mail (IMAP/POP3) proxy released under a BSD‑like license, capable of running on UNIX, GNU/Linux, BSD, macOS, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.

Developed by Russian programmer Igor Sysoev originally for the large Russian portal and search engine Rambler, Nginx is distinguished by its low memory footprint and strong concurrency, effectively addressing the C10K problem.

The mainline version 1.23.3 has been released.

Key changes in this release include bug fixes for handling large TLVs in PROXY protocol version 2 headers, a segmentation‑fault issue when SSI processes sub‑requests created by other modules, a CPU‑usage problem when using SSL connections to back‑ends, and a workaround that ignores duplicate addresses resolved from a hostname in the listen directive.
