NGINX 1.29.3 Mainline with Brotli, TLS 1.3, OpenSSL 3.5.4, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Rocky, Oracle, Alma Linux EL7/EL8/EL9/EL10

nginx 1.29.3 Mainline with HTTP/3 support added to EL7, EL8, EL9, EL10 repositories. brotli compression module from Google, http2, ngx cache purge and ngx http geoip2 modules added or built-in. OpenSSL built dynamically using official OpenSSL 3.5.1 with QUIC support.
