NGINX 1.9.11 was released on February 9, 2016. Specifics of note are bugfixes in HTTP/2 (which remains disabled in Ubuntu), TCP support in the resolver functions, and the first of the dynamic modules functionality.

------

This is the upstream changelog:

Changes with nginx 1.9.11 09 Feb 2016

    *) Feature: TCP support in resolver.

    *) Feature: dynamic modules.

    *) Bugfix: the $request_length variable did not include size of request
       headers when using HTTP/2.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_v2_module.

------

Coordination for the dynamic modules inclusion will be done with Debian, as they should likely be the first to produce dynamic-module-based packaging; once it's in Debian we may wish to consider it for inclusion later, with the release team's approval to do so. Such dynamic module inclusion will very likely result in an increase in the number of built binary packages, but this will be determined at a later time.

For updating nginx in Xenial to 1.9.11, there will be no packaging changes - as I would rather Debian come up with the module-specific-packages first, so it can then be merged and included into Xenial.

I am currently touching base with Debian to determine if we want to do a coordinated release; if I don't hear from them, then nginx 1.9.11 will likely get its own upload with the -0ubuntu1 version suffix. (All changes from the prior merges will remain in place).
