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