Took some time to do this release, and the fixes are numerous, an
upgrade is highly recommended. Major changes include an increased
header limit, which fixes inter-operation with some versions of lynx;
a fix for a crash when trying to access user pages of people who do
not actually exist (ie, /~badusername).
On the new features front, the -U option now accepts usernames too,
not just user ids.
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.

Changes:
* Thy 0.9.3 [Dead Gardens] -- 2004-06-30
Fixed a minor information leak in the virtual hosting code, noticed
by Jerome Magnin. Also fixed a couple of memory leaks and disabled
meta-data caching by default.
* Thy 0.9.2 [Re-connect] -- 2004-06-15
The major reason for this release is a discovery of a possible Denial
Of Service attack against Thy, one which can easily crash a Thy
process. However, this was just a NULL-dereference, which can not be
used to execute arbitrary code. And is fixed in this release.
Also, epoll support was disabled in this release.
* Thy 0.9.1 [Hurt] -- 2004-06-05
When Thy starts a helper process (such as the Authoriser or the
Worker), she will close and reopen the connection to syslog with a
different ID.
There is also a new option to limit how many bytes Thy will use for
mapping files into memory. When the limit is reached, no mmapping
will occur. This is only useful when using a Worker, since otherwise
files are not mapped to memory at all.
SRP authentication was implemented in this version.
One of the major new features in this release is the ability to
compile multiple event systems into Thy. In the past, Thy had to be
recompiled if one wanted to use epoll or kqueue instead of
select. Now, every possible event system is compiled in, and one can
select the appropriate one at run time. Thy will also try to select
the most appropriate one if none was explicitly specified.
Some smaller bugs were also fixed, as usual.
* Thy 0.9.0 [A Pirate I Was Meant To Be] -- 2004-04-25
This release features a way to make Thy interact better with web
cache software: the ability to set the max-age of resources and
expiry times.
The Linux version of the networking code was updated to be able to
serve files larger than 2Gb when Thy is compiled with Large File
Support (which is the default).
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
Thy was designed to be as fast and lightweight as possible. For
speed, she uses sendfile(), and does not fork.
Among the features are name-based virtual hosts, userdir and
directory index support; Range, If-Modified-Since, keep-alive,
on-the-fly compression and of course, CGI, IPv6 and TLS support.
Thy does not require (but can use) a configuration file to run.
