Changes to squid-1.0.beta1 (Apr 19, 1996) from Harvest cached-1.4.pl3: - Added a "server mode" to ftpget. Now the (much smaller) ftpget process forks for each FTP request. - Added support for If-Modified-Since GET requests. - Added support for SSL and https objects. - Added background processing for rebuilding the disk store while serving requests. Cache can now serve requests immediately. - Added a 'reconfigure' feature activated by SIGHUP. The config file is re-read and most changes will take effect. - Added an internal flag for using private keys with ICP queries to neighbors. If any neighbor returns a reqnum field of zero, then disable using private keys. But still use private keys for things with bypass the ICP query step (such as POST and IMS-GET). - Added a function to verify content-lengths. Objects with mismatched (but non-zero) content lenghts will be ejected. - Added clean shutdown mode. On SIGTERM the incoming HTTP socket is closed. Active clients are given a lifetime of 30 seconds (configurable). Process exits when all sockets are closed. - Added support for large POST objects. - Added "store.log" which logs RELEASE/SWAPIN/SWAPOUT events. - Added announce feature to squid; no longer external program. If enabled, a running cache will announce itself every 24 hrs. - Added support for FTP URLs with non-default ports. - Added new Access Control List scheme. - Added Forwarded: header to proxy HTTP requests (HTTP/1.1 feature). - Added weights neighbors. - Added urlParse() which strips off default ports and makes hostnames all lowercase. - Added (section,level) debugging and 'debug_options' config line. - Added 'pid_filename' to configuration file. - Added 'visible_hostname' to configuration file. - added 'ftp_user' to configuration file. - added 'dns_positive_ttl' to configuration file. - added 'dns_negative_ttl' to configuration file. - Added 'shutdown_lifetime' to configuration file. - Fixed bug where cache process would "spin" on large objects being deferred. - Fixed byte order conversion bug on setting echo port. - Changed meaning of command line -b (buffered logs) option. Now the default behaviour is unbuffered logs, use -b to make them buffered. - Changed WAIS code to always be fully compiled in. - Changed the storage manager to use the notion of private and public keys. Requests are now private until the reply headers have been read. - Changed access logging significantly. Entries to "access.log" are written when the client connection closes. Every connection is logged exactly once, always with a valid size. - Changed access log format (non-common) to include request method and sub-second timestamps. - Changed handing of ECONNRESET (connection reset) errors. Now treated like any other read error. - Changed 'rotate logs' to be activated by SIGUSR1. - Changed configure script to look specifically for tm_gmtoff and set HAVE_TM_GMTOFF. - Changed configure script to look specifically extended mallinfo structure and set HAVE_EXT_MALLINFO - Changed ICP reply code to use negative TTL value as UDP_HIT threshold so we never return a HIT on neg-cached objects. - Changed ftpget to use select(2) on I/O for timeouts. ftpget now exits immediately if stdin goes away. - Changed handling of '-z' option. Now only execute 'rm -rf ...' if -U option also given. - Removed the command line -d (debug) option. Use 'debug_options' in config file. - Removed all code and references to binary port. - Removed dual logging to stderr/cache.log. - Removed old IP access controls ('proxy_allow', etc.) Changes to 1.0.beta2: - Fixed /bin/csh "$#argv" leftover in RunCache. - Fixed ACL day-of-week bitmask bug. - Fixed missing checks for WAIS in some places. - Fixed chdir(swappath(0)) bug; do chdir() after storeInit(). - Changed enumerated structure members to be defined outside of the structure itself (for AIX). - Changed ftpget to fork before reading the request and make sure the entire request is read. Changes to 1.0.beta3: - Added ftpget '-C minport:maxport' option - Fixed PROTO_MAX fencepost bug in stat_init(). - Fixed Fixed CheckQuickAbort() coredump. - Fixed disabling store.log and hierarchy.log when set to "none" - Fixed numerous problems related to setuid(). - Fixed 'check_cache.pl' to use new swaplog format (without "FILE"). - Fixed ACL coredumps when checking NULL words. - Changed pid_filename to be written and unlinked as root. - Added "-i seconds" option to 'client' for testing IMS GET. - Fixed a bug where an IMS request caused the valid object to get ejected from the cache. - Fixed continual DEAD_PARENT/REVIVE bug - Fixed ERR_INVALID_URL bug for URLs with a password field. - Added to Release-Notes info about converting 'cache/log' and difference between stoplists and ttl_pattern.
