"Improved handling of multiple header lines with identical names, memory usage optimization in configurations with SSL proxying, better sanity checking of the listen directive protocol parameters, TLSv1.3 protocol enabled by default, automatic rotation of TLS session tickets encryption keys when using shared memory in the ssl_session_cache directive, and more."
