• Feature: ability to specify multiple match patterns in the location directive, which allows to combine several location blocks with similar settings and therefore simplify configuration by reducing duplication.
• Feature: export of varied statistics metrics in Prometheus format with flexible template configuration using the new prometheus and prometheus_template directives.
• Feature: detailed information and metrics for groups of stream upstream servers in the statistics interface provided by the api directive.
• Feature: the resolve option of the server directive in the stream module’s upstream block that allows to monitor changes to the list of IP addresses corresponding to a domain name, and automatically update it without the need of reloading configuration.
• Feature: the service option of the server directive in the stream module’s upstream block that allows to retrieve lists of addresses from DNS SRV records, with basic priority support.
• Feature: access to the contents of configuration files used by the current generation of worker processes via the interface provided by the api directive with the api_config_files directive enabled.
• Feature: display of the configuration generation number in process titles, which allows to monitor the success of configuration reloads and the number of previous worker process generations using the ps utility.
• Feature: all functionality of nginx 1.25.0.
• Bugfix: compilation failed when ./configure options
  --without-http_upstream_zone_module or
  --without-stream_upstream_zone_module were used; the bug had appeared in 1.2.0.
• Change: now appname angie is used when loading the OpenSSL configuration.
