Please merge nginx 1.9.4 into Ubuntu. There are multiple changes, some of which are bug fixes, and some of which are workarounds and other changes.

------

Upstream changelog on 1.9.4 is available, as well as for subsequent and prior releases, here: http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES

The 1.9.4 release notes are here, though, for a summary:

Changes with nginx 1.9.4 18 Aug 2015

    *) Change: the "proxy_downstream_buffer" and "proxy_upstream_buffer"
       directives of the stream module are replaced with the
       "proxy_buffer_size" directive.

    *) Feature: the "tcp_nodelay" directive in the stream module.

    *) Feature: multiple "sub_filter" directives can be used simultaneously.

    *) Feature: variables support in the search string of the "sub_filter"
       directive.

    *) Workaround: configuration testing might fail under Linux OpenVZ.
       Thanks to Gena Makhomed.

    *) Bugfix: old worker processes might hog CPU after reconfiguration with
       a large number of worker_connections.

    *) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if the
       "try_files" and "alias" directives were used inside a location given
       by a regular expression; the bug had appeared in 1.7.1.

    *) Bugfix: the "try_files" directive inside a nested location given by a
       regular expression worked incorrectly if the "alias" directive was
       used in the outer location.

    *) Bugfix: in hash table initialization error handling.

    *) Bugfix: nginx could not be built with Visual Studio 2015.
