# Line 1  Line 1 
1    ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 - 08/01/2003
2     * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
3       configuration file.
4     * Better pthreads detection.
5     * Outputs to error log if non executable CGIs are found.
6     * Does not close HTTP/1.1 connections by default.
7     * The current behavour is to demand the Host header in HTTP/1.1
8       requests.
9     * Added support for CGIAction CGIs. There are just like CGIs
10       but they are not executed. They are parsed using a given program.
11    
12    ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
13     * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
14     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
15    
16    ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
17     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
18    
19    ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
20     * Corrected bug in error logging.
21     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
22       the temporary directory.
23    
24    ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
25     * Long offsets are not used by default.
26     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
27       are less than PIPE_BUF.
28     * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
29       are prepended to the log message.
30     * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
31     * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
32       generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
33     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
34       Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
35     * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
36       HICThreads configuration directive.
37     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
38       configure option.
39    
40    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
41     * Better pthread detection.
42     * Better detection of dlopen call.
43     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
44     * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
45    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
46     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
47       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
48     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
49       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
50       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
51       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
52     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
53       to cgilog otherwise
54     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
55     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
56       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
57       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
58     * umask ~0770 before exec
59     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
60       in which case tie it to /dev/null
61     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
62     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
63     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
64       and Landon Curt Noll.
65     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
66     * pidfile patch
67     * default mime_types patch
68     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
69       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
70     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
71       (Ulf Harnhammar)
72     * backport poll support from 0.95
73    
74    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
75     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
76     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
77     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
78       a client certificate.
79     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
80     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
81       the SSL related variables.
82     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
83       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
84    
85    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
86     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
87       they are not found by the configure script.
88     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
89     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
90       all, with any other compiler!
91     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
92     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
93    
94    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
95     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
96       of trying to execute it.
97     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
98       POST data and Queries to work properly.
99    
100    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
101     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
102       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
103       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
104       Hydra cache friendly.
105     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
106       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
107    
108    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
109     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
110       internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
111     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
112       functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
113       (Needs further cleanup).
114     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
115       is not available.
116    
117  ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002  ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
118   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
119   * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server   * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
