  fixed dependencies for parallel build in mod_ssi_expr.c

- combo patch

  * Tinker with kqueue().  Add a reset method so that the kqueue file
    descriptor can be re-enabled after a fork().  Emulate the devpoll driver
    in that adds and deletes are sent to the notification mechanism im-
    mediately, which should cut down on phantom events.  Use
    ev->kq_results as a sliding window.

  * Change F_SETFD calls to use the preferred FD_CLOEXEC instead of 1.

  * Remove unnecessary fdevent fcntl handlers.  It appears that the only
    driver that needs one is Linux RT signals.

  * Quiet compiler warning about unused parameter.

  * Set the close-on-exec flag for the /dev/poll and epoll_create() file
    descriptors.

  * Return failure if /dev/poll could not be opened instead of logging
    and continuing.

  * Detect EAGAIN after writev() failures.  FreeBSD sendfile() doesn't need
    protection, as the man page says:

     When using a socket marked for non-blocking I/O, sendfile() may send
     fewer bytes than requested.  In this case, the number of bytes success-
     fully written is returned in *sbytes (if specified), and the error
     EAGAIN is returned.

- mod_ssi

  check for pcre before compiling the module

- fdevents

  dropped fdevent_fcntl added by the last patch (adam)
  kqueue: events == FDEVENT_IN -> events & FDEVENT_IN (adam)

31.07.2004 22:07 - 1.2.4
- fdevents

  * Test at configure time for kqueue() and <sys/event.h>
  * Remove various hard-coded constants from event handlers
  * Move maxfds into the event structure, and out of the
    fdevent_*_init handlers.  Event handlers can use the maxfds
    member to size arrays.
  * Various event structure renames to discourage clashes
  * Remove extra (ignored) call to fdevent_event_next_fdndx() in
    the main server loop.
  * Wrestle with kqueue().  The implementation has to deal with
    phantom events (for fds which have been deleted/closed), similar
    to the Linux RT signals code.  Like the RT code, it maintains a
    bitmask of active fds.  After a successful call to kevent(), the
    code will compress/overwrite dead events.  The other annoyance is
    that the handler must track the event filter for each fd, even
    though you cannot support both read and write filters for the same
    fd in one kqueue.  The handler maintains a separate bitmask for fd
    filters (1 == EVFILT_IN, 0 == EVFILT_OUT).

- server side includes

  added native server-side includes based on the docs from apache:
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html

  not supported are:
  - exec
  - nested virtual
  - config.errmsg
  - echo.encoding

24.07.2004
- fdevents

  added a bitset to figure out if we received a event for an unregistered fd
  in rt-signal (adam)

- kqueue

  added kqueue support (Matt Levine)

13.07.2004 08:58
- configfile

  parse keys correctly that contain a digit (Geoff Adams)

- fcgi

  fixed large post uploads (Geoff Adams)
  fixed uri if docroot is set (Geoff Adams)

03.07.2004 22:50 - 1.2.3
- index-files

  rewrite uri.path to the index-file instead of keeping it at .../
  this fixes index-file handling in FastCGI/CGI docroot is used

- close-on-exec

  enable close-on-exec handling to simplify FD handling in CGI code

- cgi

  keep error-log-fd open to catch the error handling for execve()

  report error if cgi-exec file doesn't exist

- proxy

  pass page-content on error to the user (E.R.)
  code cleanup (E.R.)

- ssi

  first skeleton of a plugin for ServerSideIncludes

- security

  limit the headerlength again to 64k max

03.07.2004 14:23
- configure

  fixed compile-check for libpcre if pcre-config doesn't point to /usr/lib

02.07.2004 18:17
- buffers

  always allocate a multiply of 64bytes. this should reduce the number of
  realloc()s and still doesn't has a too high overhead.

02.07.2004 11:07
- fds

  connect stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null instead of just closing it
  use dup2() instead of dup()

- accesslog

  if accesslog.filename starts with a | spawn a process which will get data
  in one chunk once in a while

01.07.2004 11:00
- sample config

  added text/css and text/javascript mimetypes

28.06.2004 12:18
- proxy module

  added a proxy module (based on the fastcgi module) and added some
  documentation

25.06.2004 21:41
- last-modified handling

  replaced %Z by GMT. otherwise the last-modified check will most often fail.

24.06.2004 20:20
- relax http-parser

  don't reply 400 in case of an empty header-field, just ignore it

23.06.2004 22:10
- file-cache

  don't cache mmap() for files larger than 64k as we run out of RAM otherwise
  too fast (check with some 200mb files)

- 64bit fixes

  fixed buffer_equal on sparc64

15.06.2004 19:09 - 1.2.2
- mmap cache

  fixed mmap-caching in network_write.c and network_writev.c after a direct
  hint by E.Rodichev

- sendfile + linux

  check at config-time if sendfile() works on Linux

11.06.2004 15:09
- fcgi + unix sockets

  added support for unix domain sockets (spawn-fcgi 1.2.0 required)

10.06.2004 11:49
- configure

  use pcre-config to determine the position of the pcre headers

05.06.2004 22:06
- filehandle-cache

  remove mmap-segment if filecache gets invalidated

30.05.2004 14:13 - lighttpd 1.2.1
- response headers

  request headers that appear twice are grouped together like expected by
  the CGI spec (concat with a ", ")
  response headers behaved the same way but are not grouped anymore. They
  stay seperated. Actually they are concated by \r\n<key>: <value> which is
  the same in the end.

- file uploads

  the handling of longer post requests is fixed now.

28.05.2004 09:13
- cgi

  added support for direct calls to cgi-binary

22.05.2004 21:58
- pipeling

  the code cleanup is finished successfully. Now all cases of pipelining are
  handle the right way. POST pipelining was still not working up to now.

22.05.2004 12:55
- code cleanup

  use the well-tested code from the write-queue as the base for the
  read-queues and simplify the pipeline handling alot that way.

20.05.2004 15:08
- network backends

  enabled sendfile support again (__FreeBSD__ instead of __freebsd__)

  added a mmap cache as part of the filedescriptor cache

  added AIX specific send_file() support (untested)

20.05.2004 10:40
- segfaults

  fixed some minor segfaults on startup when no config file is used.

17.05.2004 10:58 - lighttpd 1.2.0
- documentation

  reformated the documentation the doc/ directory

15.05.2004 14:45
- localizer

  fixed build of localizer extension

15.05.2004 12:35
- POST requests

  there is no need to die if we spot a simple POST request on a static file

- pipelining

  fixed HTTP/1.1 pipelining which caused the problems with opera

- array handling

  how did that bug survive such a long time ? a wrong compare function was
  used in one case, but not the other.

15.05.2004 03:20
- secure and fast downloads

  added a module which allows secure and fast downloading of files:
  1. the application (.php, ...) controls the access to the files
  2. the webserver is handling the transfer (and check the app generated
     tokens)

  the token is based on
  - a secret
  - a timestamp
  - the filename
  this means even if the token is is distributed by the user it will get
  invalid after a given timeout (default 60 seconds)

- errorfiles

  check for errorfiles before using them

- code cleanup

  applied cleanup fixes from adam

14.05.2004 18:47
- fdevent handling

  added a more generic callback interface to the fdevent structures which
  simplifies the writing of plugins. this might destabilize lighttpd for a
  while

- cgi

  fixed header parsing of the header is sent in chunks and the terminator is
  sent in a single chunk

- EINTR

  fixed some occurences of EINTR which read()

03.05.2004 23:55
- portability

  E.R.:
  * portability fixes for Solaris 2.5

02.05.2004 10:15
- Expect: Handling

  added incomplete support for Expect: 100-continue (RFC 2616 8.2.3) by
  sending always 417 for every Expect-request (see 14.20)

  we have been blamed for not supporting it:
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2004JanMar/0059.html

29.04.2004 23:07 - 1.1.9
- usertracking

  added a very basic usertracking cookie handler

29.04.2004 19:37
- network-writev

  Adam:
  * call munmap() on error in write()

- docs

  E.R:
  * documented 'check-local'

- test-env

  made the shell scripts more portable (checked with zsh, bash and ksh)

  fixed compilation on NetBSD

28.04.2004 22:22
- FastCGI

  E.Rodichev:
  * added "Authorizer" mode for FastCGI

27.04.2004 18:08
- ssl

  Alexey Slynko:
  * handle SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE in SSL_write the
    right way.

- FastCGI

  add 'check-local' instead of the implicit 'if-docroot-is-set' handling
