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

126   * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.   * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
127       Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to

129   * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.   * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
130   * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)   * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
131     * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
132     * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
133     * Dropped support for gunzip.
134     * Use automake to create the distribution.
