# Line 1  Line 1 
1    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8
2     * Better pthread detection.
3     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
4    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
5     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
6     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
7       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
8     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
9       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
10       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
11       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
12     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
13       to cgilog otherwise
14     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
15       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
16       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
17     * umask ~0770 before exec
18     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
19       in which case tie it to /dev/null
20     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
21     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
22     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
23       and Landon Curt Noll.
24     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
25     * pidfile patch
26     * default mime_types patch
27     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
28       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
29     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
30       (Ulf Harnhammar)
31     * backport poll support from 0.95
32    
33    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
34     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
35     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
36     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
37       a client certificate.
38     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
39     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
40       the SSL related variables.
41     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
42       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
43    
44    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
45     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
46       they are not found by the configure script.
47     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
48     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
49       all, with any other compiler!
50     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
51     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
52    
53    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
54     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
55       of trying to execute it.
56     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
57       POST data and Queries to work properly.
58    
59    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
60     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
61       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
62       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
63       Hydra cache friendly.
64     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
65       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
66    
67    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
68     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
69       internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
70     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
71       functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
72       (Needs further cleanup).
73     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
74       is not available.
75    
76    ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
77     * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
78     * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
79       run over a pool of threads.
80     * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
81       the mmap list table is full.
82     * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
83     * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
84       Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
85       take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
86     * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
87     * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
88     * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
89     * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
90     * Dropped support for gunzip.
91     * Use automake to create the distribution.
92    
93  ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13  ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
94   * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro   * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
95   * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro   * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
