Core Upgrades & Security

• Server Stealth: Added a setting to easily hide the Nginx version token in HTTP response headers.
• Crash & Memory Fixes: Patched critical segmentation faults (QUIC/worker shutdowns), a NULL pointer in the SSL cache, and memory bugs that were corrupting HTTP headers.

Routing & Traffic Management

• URI Rewriting: Added native URI rewriting support and patched a related crash involving query strings.
• Header Control: Introduced the response_headers option to easily manage and manipulate HTTP response headers.
• Network Fixes: Resolved total IPv6 connection failures for ASGI applications and stopped the $uri variable from improperly caching.
• Large Uploads: Patched payload limits, reliably allowing uploads larger than 4GiB.

Administration & Logging

• Granular Logs: Introduced per-application and conditional route logging to isolate errors and reduce log noise.
• App Fixes: Fixed PHP error handling to correctly return standard 403 and 404 HTTP errors.
• Clean Reloads: Unix domain listen sockets are now properly deleted during server reconfigurations.
