# Line 1  Line 1 
1    ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9
2     * Long offsets are not used by default.
3     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
4       are less than PIPE_BUF.
5     * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
6       are prepended to the log message.
7     * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
8    
9    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
10     * Better pthread detection.
11     * Better detection of dlopen call.
12     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
13     * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
14    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
15     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
16       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
17     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
18       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
19       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
20       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
21     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
22       to cgilog otherwise
23     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
24     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
25       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
26       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
27     * umask ~0770 before exec
28     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
29       in which case tie it to /dev/null
30     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
31     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
32     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
33       and Landon Curt Noll.
34     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
35     * pidfile patch
36     * default mime_types patch
37     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
38       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
39     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
40       (Ulf Harnhammar)
41     * backport poll support from 0.95
42    
43    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
44     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
45     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
46     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
47       a client certificate.
48     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
49     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
50       the SSL related variables.
51     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
52       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
53    
54    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
55     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
56       they are not found by the configure script.
57     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
58     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
59       all, with any other compiler!
60     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
61     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
62    
63    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
64     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
65       of trying to execute it.
66     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
67       POST data and Queries to work properly.
68    
69    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
70     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
71       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
72       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
73       Hydra cache friendly.
74     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
75       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
76    
77    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
78     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
79       internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
80     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
81       functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
82       (Needs further cleanup).
83     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
84       is not available.
85    
86  ** 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
87   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
