Nginx [nginx-announce] njs-0.2.6

Hello,

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

This release proceeds to extend the coverage of ECMAScript 5.1
specification.

- Added initial support for extending the existing prototypes. So,
generic functions can be added to extend functionality of built-in
types.

: > String.prototype.myUpper = function() {return this.toUpperCase()}
: [Function]
: > 'abc'.myUpper()
: 'ABC'
