NGINX 1.29.2 Mainline with Brotli, TLS 1.3, OpenSSL 3.5.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Rocky, Oracle, Alma Linux EL7/EL8/EL9/EL10

nginx 1.29.2 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.

Our OpenSSL 3.5.1 builds break compatibility with nginx 1.28.x and earlier versions, as they are compiled against quictls project with their own APIs. Thus, to upgrade OpenSSL QUIC libs, please use nginx >= 1.29.0.

Fix x509 application adds trusted use instead of rejected use (CVE-2025-4575)

OpenSSL 3.5.1 is a release featuring QUIC server support.

We continue to build libs with quic support as a separate non-conflicting package openssl-quic-libs, files have separate .so.81.3 suffix to avoid conflicts with the official .so.3.

the «early_hints» directive.

*) Feature: loading of secret keys from hardware tokens with OpenSSL
provider.

*) Feature: support for the «so_keepalive» parameter of the «listen»
directive on macOS.

the rest; the logging level of unsupported QUIC transport parameters
has been lowered from «info» to «debug».

*) Change: the native nginx/Windows binary release is now built using
Windows SDK 10.

*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built by gcc 15 if ngx_http_v2_module or
ngx_http_v3_module modules were used.

*) Bugfix: nginx might not be built by gcc 14 or newer with -O3 -flto
optimization if ngx_http_v3_module was used.

*) Bugfixes and improvements in HTTP/3.
