Nginx [nginx-announce] njs-0.3.9

Hello,

I'm glad to announce a new release of NGINX JavaScript module (njs).

This release proceeds to extend the coverage of ECMAScript
specifications.

Notable new features:
- Promises API for "fs" module.
: var fs = require('fs').promises;
: fs.readFile('/file/path').then(data => r.return(200, data));

- detached r.subrequest(): Running a subrequest in the log phase
: nginx.conf:
: ...
: js_set $js_log js_log;
: ...
: log_format subrequest_log "...$js_log";
: access_log /log/path.log subrequest_log;
:
: nginx.js:
: function js_log(r) {
: r.subrequest('/_log', {detached:true});
: return '';
: }
