     Added support for not-equal operator for access log filter rules, in

+  change: |
+    Added support for the following new access log formatters:
+    - ``%REQUEST_HEADER(X?Y):Z%`` as full name version of ``%REQ(X?Y):Z%``
+    - ``%RESPONSE_HEADER(X?Y):Z%`` as full name version of ``%RESP(X?Y):Z%``
+    - ``%RESPONSE_TRAILER(X?Y):Z%`` as full name version of ``%TRAILER(X?Y):Z%``
+    This mainly to provide a more consistent naming scheme for users to understand and use.

     Added ``drainConnectionUponCompletion()`` to the Lua filter stream info API. This allows Lua scripts
