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