Nginx [nginx-announce] njs-0.4.4

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:
- Buffer object.
: >> var buf = Buffer.from([0x80,206,177,206,178])
: undefined
: >> buf.slice(1).toString()
: 'αβ'
: >> buf.toString('base64')
: 'gM6xzrI='

- DataView object.
: >> (new DataView(buf.buffer)).getUint16()
: 32974
