# Line 1  Line 1 
1  ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3  ** Changes from 0.1.2 to 0.1.3 -
2     * Added DefaultCharset configuration directive. The default
3       character set given, will be appended to all text mime types.
4     * Corrected bug in KeepAlive usage in HTTP/1.1, which made the
5       server to ignore the value sent by the client.
6     * CGIAction can now be used even if HIC CGIs are disabled.
7     * Some optimizations in HTTP header parsing.
8    
9    ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 - 08/01/2003
10     * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
11       configuration file. Patch by James Harr <james@grickle.org>
12     * Better pthreads detection.
13     * Outputs to error log if non executable CGIs are found.
14     * Does not close HTTP/1.1 connections by default.
15     * The current behavour is to demand the Host header in HTTP/1.1
16       requests.
17     * Added support for CGIAction CGIs. There are just like CGIs
18       but they are not executed. They are parsed using a given program.
19     * Added init script for redhat in contrib/redhat/rc.hydra,
20       contributed by <voidnull@qnet.pl>.
21    
22    ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
23     * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
24     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
25    
26    ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
27     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
28    
29    ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
30     * Corrected bug in error logging.
31     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
32       the temporary directory.
33    
34    ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
35     * Long offsets are not used by default.
36     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
37       are less than PIPE_BUF.
38     * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
39       are prepended to the log message.
40     * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
41     * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
42       generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
43     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
44       Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
45     * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
46       HICThreads configuration directive.
47     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
48       configure option.
49    
50    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
51     * Better pthread detection.
52     * Better detection of dlopen call.
53     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
54     * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
55    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
56     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
57       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
58     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
59       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
60       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
61       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
62     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
63       to cgilog otherwise
64     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
65     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
66       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
67       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
68     * umask ~0770 before exec
69     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
70       in which case tie it to /dev/null
71     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
72     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
73     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
74       and Landon Curt Noll.
75     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
76     * pidfile patch
77     * default mime_types patch
78     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
79       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
80     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
81       (Ulf Harnhammar)
82     * backport poll support from 0.95
83    
84    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
85     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
86     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
87     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
88       a client certificate.
89     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
90     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
91       the SSL related variables.
92     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
93       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
94    
95    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
96     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
97       they are not found by the configure script.
98     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
99     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
100       all, with any other compiler!
101     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
102     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
103    
104    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
105     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
106       of trying to execute it.
107     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
108       POST data and Queries to work properly.
109    
110    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
111     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
112       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
113       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
114       Hydra cache friendly.
115     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
116       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
117    
118    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
119   * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs   * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
120     internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.     internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
121   * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing   * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
122     functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.     functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
123     (Needs further cleanup).     (Needs further cleanup).
124     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
125       is not available.
126    
127  ** 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
