# Line 1  Line 1 
1    ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 -
2     * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
3       configuration file.
4     * Better pthreads detection.
5     * Outputs to error log if non executable CGIs are found.
6    
7    ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
8     * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
9     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
10    
11    ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
12     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
13    
14    ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
15     * Corrected bug in error logging.
16     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
17       the temporary directory.
18    
19    ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
20     * Long offsets are not used by default.
21     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
22       are less than PIPE_BUF.
23     * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
24       are prepended to the log message.
25     * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
26     * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
27       generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
28     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
29       Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
30     * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
31       HICThreads configuration directive.
32     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
33       configure option.
34    
35    ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
36     * Better pthread detection.
37     * Better detection of dlopen call.
38     * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
39     * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
40    [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
41     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
42       emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
43     * make the default socket size 32K.  The client_stream_size stays constant
44       at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
45       Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
46       it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
47     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
48       to cgilog otherwise
49     * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
50     * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
51       sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
52       It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
53     * umask ~0770 before exec
54     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
55       in which case tie it to /dev/null
56     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
57     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
58     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
59       and Landon Curt Noll.
60     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
61     * pidfile patch
62     * default mime_types patch
63     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
64       #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
65     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
66       (Ulf Harnhammar)
67     * backport poll support from 0.95
68    
69    ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
70     * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
71     * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
72     * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
73       a client certificate.
74     * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
75     * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
76       the SSL related variables.
77     * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
78       unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
79    
80    ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
81     * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
82       they are not found by the configure script.
83     * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
84     * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
85       all, with any other compiler!
86     * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
87     * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
88    
89    ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
90     * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
91       of trying to execute it.
92     * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
93       POST data and Queries to work properly.
94    
95    ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
96     * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
97       fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
98       the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
99       Hydra cache friendly.
100     * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
101       since they are no longer generated sequentially.
102    
103    ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
104     * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
105       internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
106     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
107       functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
108       (Needs further cleanup).
109     * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
110       is not available.
111    
112    ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
113     * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
114     * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
115       run over a pool of threads.
116     * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
117       the mmap list table is full.
118     * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
119     * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
120       Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
121       take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
122     * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
123     * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
124     * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
125     * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
126     * Dropped support for gunzip.
127     * Use automake to create the distribution.
128    
129  ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13  ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
130   * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro   * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
131   * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro   * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
