1 nmav 1.1 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
2     * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
3     * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
4     * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
5     especially strdup.
6     * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
7     * server_s is no longer a global int
8     * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
9     * check for getopt.h and include it if found
10     * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
11     many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
12     * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
13     the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
14     * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
15     * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
16     * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
17     results of earlier calls to results from later calls
18     * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
19     user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
20     accept concurrently.
21     * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
22     * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
23     * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
24     being added to the block set
25     * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
26     * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
27     by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
28     * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
29     need it for the CGI
30     * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
31    
32     ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
33     * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
34     * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
35     Liam Widdowson
36     * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
37     something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
38     a long, and use that.
39     * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
40     * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
41     from 0.95
42     * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
43     * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
44     (instead of using tmpnam)
45     * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
46     Patch by Landon Curt Noll
47     * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
48     Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
49     * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
50     * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
51     instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
52     * update manpage slightly
53     * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
54     * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
55     * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
56     ip.c, request.c, response.c
57     * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
58     into create_server_socket and drop_privs
59     * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
60     * set umask after opening /dev/null
61     * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
62     * removed old, unused chroot code
63     * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
64     * move fork later in the startup
65     * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
66     * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
67     requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
68     * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
69     access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
70     (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
71     * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
72     * always attempt a 32k read right before close
73     (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
74     * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
75     and http version
76     * don't use inline functions
77     * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
78     * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
79     * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
80     * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
81     * remove tests section in Makefile.in
82     * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
83     * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
84     * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
85     inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
86     * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
87     assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
88     * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
89     modified version by Liam Widdowson
90     * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
91     for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
92     authored by Wes Hardaker
93     * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
94     * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
95     for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
96     portability tests for localtime.
97     * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
98     it properly.
99     * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
100     with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
101     using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
102     timezone designation.
103     * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
104     heavy load by many different files.
105     Found and squashed by Michal Kara
106     * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
107     This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
108     * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
109     CGIs have no business knowing that information
110     * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
111     Bug found by Matt Callaway
112     * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
113     (they aren't used anyway)
114     * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
115     to select()
116     * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
117     * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
118     * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
119     * update .depend file
120     * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
121     add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
122     accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
123     to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
124     Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
125     * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
126     * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
127     dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
128     * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
129     * boa.objdump target added
130     * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
131     * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
132     * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
133     * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
134     * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
135     http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
136     * use _exit not exit in CGI child
137     * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
138     sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
139     things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
140     to place the new request on the active list anyway.
141     * update some Copyright statements for 2002
142     * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
143     the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
144     * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
145     trying to use it
146     * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
147     than some complicated variation on the pathname
148     * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
149     Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
150     throughout the life of the structure.
151     * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
152     CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
153     * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
154     and translate_uri
155     * remove debian package information
156     * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
157     * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
158     * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
159     hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
160     * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
161     involving negative return values from hash routines.
162     This has been fixed.
163     * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
164     statistical output via sigalarm
165     * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
166     * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
167     * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
168     * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
169     * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
170     when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
171     and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
172     before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
173     by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
174     * pull select loop into select.c
175     * poll server socket once per active connection
176     * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
177     * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
178     * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
179     * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
180     consume its full share of CPU until killed
181     Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
182     * add CGIPath configuration variable
183     based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
184     * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
185     accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
186     the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
187     issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
188     Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
189     * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
190     * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
191     (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
192     * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
193     * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
194     with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
195     * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
196     * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
197     * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
198     * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
199     make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
200     * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
201     * fix bug in CgiPath logic
202     * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
203     * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
204     [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
205     * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
206     * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
207    
208     ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
209     * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
210     * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
211     * rearrange some header files and includes
212     * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
213     * include fix by William Meadows
214     for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
215     * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
216     escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
217     at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
218    
219     ** Changes from 0.94.10 to 0.94.10.1
220     * Actually update the SERVER_VERSION in src/defines.h
221

223     * Fixes escaping rules
224     * Fixes segfault when directory_index is undefined and
225     directory needs to be generated
226     * adds dummy signal handlers for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 (Closes SF #425921)
227     * Update documentation regarding mime.types (Closes Debian #69991)
228     * Make sure documentation builds (Closes Debian #110818)
229    
230     ** Changes from 0.94.8.3 to 0.94.9
231     * src/Makefile.in updated to take CFLAGS, LIBS, and LDFLAGS
232     from autoconf
233     * Update escaping rules with latest RFC
234     * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
235     * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
236     * use backported documentation from 0.95
237     * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel
238     * use backported index_dir.c from 0.95
239     * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
240     * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
241     * check for ENOSPC on body write
242     * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
243     and chdir there when boa exits.
244     * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
245     on POST or PUT
246     * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
247     unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
248     * made Makefile.in VPATH happy
249    
250     ** Changes from 0.94.8.2 to 0.94.8.3
