pkgsrc version) include:
* Various cookie fixes.
* New build system.
* Code to deal with before/after scripts.
* Rewrite of Apache directives.
In addition, mod_dtcl is now a project of the Apache Software Foundation.
See http://tcl.apache.org/ for details.
grautiutiously reinstalled whenever "perl" is reinstalled. For the
NetBSD package, the dependence on autoconf and automake has already
been removed, so it remained only to patch the configure script.
4.0.3 include many bugfixes (including one bad interaction with mod_perl which
caused segfaults) and additions of several new functions. Several new PHP
modules were also added to the main distribution, including new database
extensions and OpenSSL, and some bugs with improperly closing database
connections was fixed.
Instead of using pkgsrc makefile magic to select between IPv6 support
and non-support do so by the NetBSD version number: on 1.5 and newer
systems, compile IPv6 support and detect kernel support for it at runtime.
This has the additional benefits of being easy to feed back and additionaly
brings IPv6 to mozilla on NetBSD even if build outside of pkgsrc.
This is a minor release that mainly provides bug fixes and small
enhancements that have been commited to CVS since the last release.
Vladimir Koslov provided indispensable help for testing and preparing the
Win32 release. Special thanks to Wayne Davison, Art Barstow, Peter
Stamfest, Zhu Qun-Ying, Jens Meggers, Ken Olum for their contributions.
* Summary of principal changes (the ChangeLog provides a detailed account)
+ The following sample applications could core dump
under Windows: head.c, getheaders.c, chunk.c, chunkbody.c,
multichunk.c
+ When retrieving an object from the cache, the HTTP headers
associated with the object weren't stored in the HTResponse object.
+ The cache garbage collector could go into an endless loop.
+ The HTResponse object now returns the HTTP reason.
+ Update of expat to version 19990728.
+ Optimization, enhancements, and bugs fixes to the HTRDF module
+ Some memory leaks and compiler warning fixes.
+ The robot could hang when accessing local files.
+ Optimization of the HTChunk and HTHash modules.
* Outstanding bugs
+ The webbot crashes from time to time under Windows. It
seems to be a problem while reading the robots.txt file,
there the application frees a request that's still registred
in the Windows async. loop.,
+ The tiny.c sample application doesn't prompt the user with
a text input.
+ Interpretation of FD_CLOSE under Windows.
+ The FTP implementation has memory leaks and doesn't
remember the path or authentication information correctly.
+ Compiling with -O2 and -Wall reveals some unitialized
variables in HTDIR and HTFTP.
* To do
+ Compile the answers to the libwww survey (volunteers are welcome).
- fixed script element handling in framesets
- detect repeated attributes e.g. in tables
- supports Gnu Emacs error parsing
- Word 2000 cleanup
- HTML syntax fixes
* Move most of Makefile logic into ../php4/Makefile.common.
* Move patches and files into ../php4.
* Depend on php-4.0.3pl1.
The version number bump was necessary as php4 conflicts with the old
ap-php4-4.0.3pl1 package.
Charles fixed the a.out toolchain bug (in ld) that caused the problems this
change tried to work around. Update your toolchain if it breaks for you.
(Pullup of the toolchain changes to 1.4 and 1.5 has already been requested.)
MKSHLIB_FORCE_ALL='-Wl,--whole-archive' and
MKSHLIB_UNFORCE_ALL='-Wl,--no-whole-archive'
The a.out toolchain ignores --no-whole-archive, and linking mozilla-bin
attempts to an ill fated
"collect2 ... --whole-archive ... --no-whole-archive ... -lgcc ... -lgcc"

Changes Between Major Revisions
Changes from 1.4 to 1.6
* All changes and bugfixes in the 1.4 releases.
* Completely rewrote the LDAP caching algorithms (see [1]the
documentation on caching for more information). Here are the
highlights of the changes:
+ All cache sizes are measured in terms of cache entries.
Warning!! This affects the AuthLDAPCacheSize directive!! In
version 1.4 and before, this directive specified the size in
megabytes. Now, it specifies the size in cache entri es. If
you currently have this directive in a config file, it is
probably set way too high, and will use a significant amount
of server memory.
+ Deprecated the AuthLDAPCacheCompareOps directive. Apache will
still accept the directive, but it has no effect, other than
to generate a warning in the Apache logs.
+ The cache no longer grows without bounds. For servers with a
very active cache, this should make a big difference with
memory usage.
+ No longer use the cache management routines from the LDAP
SDK. All LDAP operations are now cached, using a cache that's
specially designed for auth_ldap's authentication methods.
+ If Apache has been compiled with MM support and auth_ldap has
been compiled with -DWITH_SHARED_LDAP_CACHE then the cache is
shared across all server instances.
+ Added a content handler that can be used to display the cache
statistics. To use it, add the following directives:
<Location /server/auth-ldap-info>
SetHandler auth-ldap-info
</Location>
* Added support for a require dn directive, and a
AuthLDAPCompareDNOnServer directive. See the documentation for
more information.
* auth_ldap now allows the user to specify any attribute when
checking for group membership, by using the AuthLDAPGroupAttribute
directive. If this directive is not specified, the default
continues to be member and uniqueMember. Patch courtesy of
Graham Leggett.
* Added another directive, AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN, which says
whether to use the DN that was retrieved from the LDAP search, or
to use the username passed by the client when doing group
authorization. This directive, in conjuction with the previous
one, allows us to use things like posixGroups for checks:
AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberuid
AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
* Ensure that auth_ldap will follow referrals under
OpenLDAP. This behavior was turned off in previous versions.
* Allow auth_ldap to dereference aliases, using the new
AuthLDAPDereferenceAliases directive. By default, this directive
is set to always.
* Now use ldap_init() when using OpenLDAP. Unless your OpenLDAP is
really old, this probably won't affect you.
PNG is now supported, asynchronous DNS is claimed to be more stable,
couple of SSL crashes were fixed; otherwise the changes are primarily
UI fixes.
However, Asynchronous DNS seems to ignore stuff in /etc/hosts now.
