# Line 1  Line 1 
1  ** Changes from 0.94.13 to Boas/SMP  ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
2     * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
3     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
4    
5    ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
6     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
7    
8    ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
9     * Corrected bug in error logging.
10     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
11       the temporary directory.
12    
13    ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
14     * Long offsets are not used by default.
15     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
16       are less than PIPE_BUF.
17     * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
18       are prepended to the log message.
19     * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
20     * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
21       generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
22     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
23       Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
24     * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
25       HICThreads configuration directive.
26     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
27       configure option.
28    
29    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
30     * Better pthread detection.
31     * Better detection of dlopen call.
32     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
33     * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
34    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
35     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
36       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
37     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
38       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
39       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
40       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
41     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
42       to cgilog otherwise
43     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
44     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
45       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
46       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
47     * umask ~0770 before exec
48     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
49       in which case tie it to /dev/null
50     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
51     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
52     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
53       and Landon Curt Noll.
54     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
55     * pidfile patch
56     * default mime_types patch
57     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
58       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
59     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
60       (Ulf Harnhammar)
61     * backport poll support from 0.95
62    
63    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
64     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
65     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
66     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
67       a client certificate.
68     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
69     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
70       the SSL related variables.
71     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
72       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
73    
74    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
75     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
76       they are not found by the configure script.
77     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
78     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
79       all, with any other compiler!
80     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
81     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
82    
83    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
84     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
85       of trying to execute it.
86     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
87       POST data and Queries to work properly.
88    
89    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
90     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
91       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
92       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
93       Hydra cache friendly.
94     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
95       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
96    
97    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
98     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
99       internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
100     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
101       functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
102       (Needs further cleanup).
103     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
104       is not available.
105    
106    ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
107   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.   * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
108   * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server   * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
109     run over a pool of threads.     run over a pool of threads.

112   * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.   * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
113   * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.   * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
114       Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
115       take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
116   * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.   * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
117   * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)   * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
118     * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
119     * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
120     * Dropped support for gunzip.
121     * Use automake to create the distribution.
