Note that the ownership of log files has changed to root:root and the mode changed to 700 (from 770) to address CVE-2016-1247. This should not affect general operation, as this is the default for log directories and also what httpd uses but if you use external tools to process the log files you may want to check continued operation after this update.
nginx in EPEL 7 is now built against OpenSSL 1.1 to allow the use of TLSv1.3.
Dropped default_server and location / directives so that it can be overridden in conf.d without needing to touch the default config. Note that the first server (as defined in the default config) and root will continue to serve the default index.html as long as no other server is defined.
nginx now handles creation of new log files to ensure correct permissions.
nginx no longer requires nginx-all-modules to allow for a leaner install.
The systemd unit will now wait for the network-online.target. Previously, start up could fail if DNS names were used for some config options (such as proxy_pass) and these names were not resolvable at service start time.
The systemd unit now uses nginx -s to only reload the service if the configuration is valid. In previous versions an invalid configuration could take down nginx upon reload.
Please consult http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.20 for all changes to nginx since the current EPEL 7 release of 1.16.1.
