Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.10: +7 -0 lines
*** empty log message ***

1 nmav 1.11 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3
2     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
3     internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
4     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
5     functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
6     (Needs further cleanup).
7    
8 nmav 1.9 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
9 nmav 1.2 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
10     * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
11     run over a pool of threads.
12     * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
13     the mmap list table is full.
14     * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
15 nmav 1.4 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
16 nmav 1.5 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
17     take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
18 nmav 1.3 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
19     * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
20 nmav 1.10 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
21 nmav 1.7 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
22     * Dropped support for gunzip.
23 nmav 1.8 * Use automake to create the distribution.
24 nmav 1.2
25 nmav 1.1 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
26     * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
27     * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
28     * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
29     especially strdup.
30     * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
31     * server_s is no longer a global int
32     * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
33     * check for getopt.h and include it if found
34     * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
35     many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
36     * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
37     the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
38     * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
39     * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
40     * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
41     results of earlier calls to results from later calls
42     * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
43     user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
44     accept concurrently.
45     * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
46     * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
47     * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
48     being added to the block set
49     * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
50     * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
51     by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
52     * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
53     need it for the CGI
54     * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
55    
56     ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
57     * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
58     * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
59     Liam Widdowson
60     * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
61     something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
62     a long, and use that.
63     * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
64     * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
65     from 0.95
66     * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
67     * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
68     (instead of using tmpnam)
69     * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
70     Patch by Landon Curt Noll
71     * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
72     Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
73     * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
74     * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
75     instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
76     * update manpage slightly
77     * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
78     * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
79     * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
80     ip.c, request.c, response.c
81     * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
82     into create_server_socket and drop_privs
83     * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
84     * set umask after opening /dev/null
85     * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
86     * removed old, unused chroot code
87     * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
88     * move fork later in the startup
89     * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
90     * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
91     requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
92     * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
93     access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
94     (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
95     * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
96     * always attempt a 32k read right before close
97     (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
98     * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
99     and http version
100     * don't use inline functions
101     * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
102     * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
103     * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
104     * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
105     * remove tests section in Makefile.in
106     * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
107     * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
108     * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
109     inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
110     * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
111     assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
112     * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
113     modified version by Liam Widdowson
114     * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
115     for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
116     authored by Wes Hardaker
117     * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
118     * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
119     for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
120     portability tests for localtime.
121     * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
122     it properly.
123     * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
124     with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
125     using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
126     timezone designation.
127     * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
128     heavy load by many different files.
129     Found and squashed by Michal Kara
130     * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
131     This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
132     * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
133     CGIs have no business knowing that information
134     * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
135     Bug found by Matt Callaway
136     * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
137     (they aren't used anyway)
138     * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
139     to select()
140     * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
141     * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
142     * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
143     * update .depend file
144     * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
145     add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
146     accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
147     to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
148     Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
149     * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
150     * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
151     dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
152     * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
153     * boa.objdump target added
154     * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
155     * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
156     * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
157     * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
158     * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
159     http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
160     * use _exit not exit in CGI child
161     * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
162     sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
163     things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
164     to place the new request on the active list anyway.
165     * update some Copyright statements for 2002
166     * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
167     the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
168     * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
169     trying to use it
170     * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
171     than some complicated variation on the pathname
172     * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
173     Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
174     throughout the life of the structure.
175     * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
176     CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
177     * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
178     and translate_uri
179     * remove debian package information
180     * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
181     * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
182     * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
183     hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
184     * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
185     involving negative return values from hash routines.
186     This has been fixed.
187     * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
188     statistical output via sigalarm
189     * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
190     * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
191     * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
192     * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
193     * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
194     when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
195     and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
196     before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
197     by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
198     * pull select loop into select.c
199     * poll server socket once per active connection
200     * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
201     * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
202     * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
203     * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
204     consume its full share of CPU until killed
205     Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
206     * add CGIPath configuration variable
207     based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
208     * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
209     accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
210     the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
211     issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
212     Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
213     * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
214     * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
215     (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
216     * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
217     * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
218     with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
219     * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
220     * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
221     * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
222     * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
223     make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
224     * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
225     * fix bug in CgiPath logic
226     * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
227     * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
228     [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
229     * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
230     * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
231    
232     ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
233     * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
234     * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
235     * rearrange some header files and includes
236     * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
237     * include fix by William Meadows
238     for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
239     * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
240     escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
241     at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
242    
243     ** Changes from 0.94.10 to 0.94.10.1
244     * Actually update the SERVER_VERSION in src/defines.h
245    
246     ** Changes from 0.94.9 to 0.94.10
247     * Fixes escaping rules
248     * Fixes segfault when directory_index is undefined and
249     directory needs to be generated
250     * adds dummy signal handlers for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 (Closes SF #425921)
251     * Update documentation regarding mime.types (Closes Debian #69991)
252     * Make sure documentation builds (Closes Debian #110818)
253    
254     ** Changes from 0.94.8.3 to 0.94.9
255     * src/Makefile.in updated to take CFLAGS, LIBS, and LDFLAGS
256     from autoconf
257     * Update escaping rules with latest RFC
258     * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
259     * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
260     * use backported documentation from 0.95
261     * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel
262     * use backported index_dir.c from 0.95
263     * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
264     * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
265     * check for ENOSPC on body write
266     * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
267     and chdir there when boa exits.
268     * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
269     on POST or PUT
270     * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
271     unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
272     * made Makefile.in VPATH happy
273    
274     ** Changes from 0.94.8.2 to 0.94.8.3
275     * Move unescape_uri *before* clean_pathname to prevent
276     encoding of / and .. in pathname
277     * wrap execution of GUNZIP in cgi.c with #ifdef GUNZIP
278     * stop parsing when fragment found in URL ('#')
279    
280     ** Changes from 0.94.8.1 to 0.94.8.2
