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