# Line 1  Line 1 
1    ** 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    
5    ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 - 08/01/2003
6     * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
7       configuration file. Patch by James Harr <james@grickle.org>
8     * Better pthreads detection.
9     * Outputs to error log if non executable CGIs are found.
10     * Does not close HTTP/1.1 connections by default.
11     * The current behavour is to demand the Host header in HTTP/1.1
12       requests.
13     * Added support for CGIAction CGIs. There are just like CGIs
14       but they are not executed. They are parsed using a given program.
15     * Added init script for redhat in contrib/redhat/rc.hydra,
16       contributed by <voidnull@qnet.pl>.
17    
18    ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
19     * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
20     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
21    
22    ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
23     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
24    
25    ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
26     * Corrected bug in error logging.
27     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
28       the temporary directory.
29    
30    ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
31     * Long offsets are not used by default.
32     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
33       are less than PIPE_BUF.
34     * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
35       are prepended to the log message.
36     * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
37     * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
38       generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
39     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
40       Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
41     * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
42       HICThreads configuration directive.
43     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
44       configure option.
45    
46    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
47     * Better pthread detection.
48     * Better detection of dlopen call.
49     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
50     * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
51    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
52     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
53       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
54     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
55       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
56       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
57       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
58     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
59       to cgilog otherwise
60     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
61     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
62       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
63       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
64     * umask ~0770 before exec
65     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
66       in which case tie it to /dev/null
67     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
68     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
69     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
70       and Landon Curt Noll.
71     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
72     * pidfile patch
73     * default mime_types patch
74     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
75       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
76     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
77       (Ulf Harnhammar)
78     * backport poll support from 0.95
79    
80    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
81     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
82     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
83     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
84       a client certificate.
85     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
86     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
87       the SSL related variables.
88     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
89       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
90    
91    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
92     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
93       they are not found by the configure script.
94     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
95     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
96       all, with any other compiler!
97     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
98     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
99    
100    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
101     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
102       of trying to execute it.
103     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
104       POST data and Queries to work properly.
105    
106    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
107     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
108       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
109       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
110       Hydra cache friendly.
111     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
112       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
113    
114    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
115     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
116       internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
117     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
118       functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
119       (Needs further cleanup).
120     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
121       is not available.
122    
123  ** 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
124   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
