0.94 Jul 08 2006
- Add nofatal to Sys::Syslog::openlog if Sys::Syslog
version >= 0.15 (thanks to DSCHWEI on cpan)
- Added the leave_children_open_on_hup flag which leaves
open connections open when the server
is hupped. It is false by default.
- Make sure new and run can both take a hash or a hashref of values.
- More fixes to HUP under taint (thanks to LUPE on cpan)
- Allow for port, host, and proto to be passed as arrayrefs to run and new.
- Fix bug in a check for dead child processes algorithm in
PreFork server (thanks to Michael Virnstein).
0.93 Mar 23 2006
- Allow for get sock info routines to use $peer->{client} rather than STDIN
which may not be set if the "no_client_stdout" flag is set. (thanks to
Mark Martinec for pointing this out)
0.92 Mar 13 2006
- Allow for duplicated STDIN and STDOUT to properly close.
Previously they closed because they were simple symbol globs.
Now they need an explicit close be cause they are opened to
the client socket's file descriptors.
- Add flag to disable all of the binding of client to STDIN and STDOUT
0.91 Mar 08 2006
- Abstract shutdown_sockets method that is called at the end
of server_close (to allow for calling in other places).
- Make sure close_children unsets the overridden signals in
the forked and preforked servers.
- Better handling of STDIN and STDOUT as provided by tye on
perlmonks in response to Ben Cohen's question (in node
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=534791)
- Finally added a new method.
- Added much missing perldoc.
- Pass parameters to ->run the second time it is called. This
allows for multitype to handle more parameters - but needs
to be tested for all use cases (it could result in array fields
getting multiple entries which should be fine in most cases).
Thanks to Aron Ujvari for pointing this out.
- Add default_values method (suggested by Malte S. Stretz).
- Fix udp_broadcast issue (fix by Rob Mueller)
0.90 Dec 05 2005
- Make HUP work correctly on Multiplex server.
- Allow socket files to cleanup correctly.
- Allow Net::Server::Daemonize to function properly in Taint
mode again (broken in .88).
- Add ->commandline method to allow for getting and setting
the commandline for use during a HUP. This is to allow for
untainting as necessary.
- Add ->can_read_hook (see the documentation) to allow for
processing of arbitrary handles in accept_multi_port.
0.89 Nov 22 2005
- Added SSL_passwd_cb to Proto/SSL.pm (Irving A. Bermudez S.)
- Fix rt #13450 which is caused by broken POSIX::setuid on
perl 5.8.0 on RedHat 9.0.
- Allow for graceful skipping if a port is configured twice in
the configuration file.
- Allow tests that can pass to pass on Win32 (skip those that cannot)
- Allow "-" in user names. (Carl Lewis)
- Add Reuse = 1 to Proto::UDP. (Slaven Rezic)
- Allow for udp_broadcast setting in Proto::UDP. (Tim Watt)
- Add bug note to Proto::SSL (Christopher A Bongaarts)
- setsid property is now boolean rather than checking definedness.
- Command line parameters override conf file parameters.
- Store command line a little better in preparation for HUP.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
0.88 Jun 21 2005
- Change maintainer back to paul@seamons.com (Paul Seamons)
- Add run_n_children_hook to prefork servers (At suggestion of
James Fitzgibbon and Paul B. Henson)
- Make delete child only delete children it knows about.
Fixes ancient bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=168784
filed by Christian Mock and worked on by Lucas Filipozzi.
- Store $ENV{PWD} as part of script name for HUP'ing (Russel Pettway)
- Allow PreFork and PreForkSimple to have child mark
explicitly as done the same as other server types via
the ->done(1) call. (Idea from Marc Martinec)
- After numerous requests, the CHLD SIGNAL is now
set to DEFAULT in the child process of PreFork and
PreForkSimple servers. This should allow grand child processes to
run without affecting the child process (or parent).
- Fix parent/child communication channel buffering issue (Matt Sergeant)
- Check for child's sock before closing with
child_communication enabled (Alexander Hlawenka)
- Documentation fix (Mark Morgan)
- Allow 'stream' option for syslog_logsock property (Daniel Matuschek)
- Fix syslog format vulnerability. (Carlos Velasco) This has
potential to break some log implementations that were
planning on ->log passing all of @_ to syslog. Now only the
first item from @_ is passed as the message.
- Allow for '-' in group names. (Corey Minyard)
- Prevent locking caused by interupt of flock (Dietmar Maurer [cpan #11693])
- Finally fix UID/GID bugs during daemonization. This is the
biggest bug winner. The new model Calls POSIX::setuid and
setgid and tests for success by checking the values of $<
and $( and not by checking the response of the setuid/setgid functions.
- Add CIDR style lookups for allow/deny using cidr_allow and
cidr_deny (Carsten Wolff)
- Allow for port configured in perl to not have to be arrayref.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

changes since 0.85:
- Changed maintainer to bbb@cpan.org (Rob Brown).
- Patch to fix Net::Server::Daemonize setuid bug:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/net-server.patch
- Add a fix in the argument handling of configure
to account for some alpha systems (James Vasak)
- For RedHat 8.0 perl.req, avoid demanding that
perl(IO::Muliplex) and perl(IO::Socket::SSL)
rpms are installed just to use Net::Server.
Patch provided by Peter Reich <pr@alles.prima.de> via PR pkg/22542.
