I have been releasing minor-minor-minor point releases, +but the changes in this release constitute a minor-minor point +release. Please see the ChangeLog for detail descriptions of all the +changes, but here is a brief list. -Well so much for the 1.4.0 version being the best tinyproxy---there -were bugs. The most serious was a segmentation fault problem when an -invalid request was received. Also, anonymous filtering was not -actually working. Another bug fix is that on Debian systems (and maybe -others) child threads would not be closed if they had been created -after tinyproxy had been started. Finally, if MaxClientRequests was -set to 0, the status of the thread was not going back to T_WAITING. +The most serious fix is to the DNS caching system. There was a memory +leak in the system whenever a domain was already in the database, but +had expired. The new domain information was placed in the database, +but the old information wasn't freed. -Okay, now on to the new features. There is a new Connect log -level. This is basically "Info" without info's noise. Also, the error -reporting function sends back more HTTP headers, which should lead to -a more standards compliant proxy. +The second change is in regard to the regular expression library. For +a while now tinyproxy has included it's own library (the GNU version) +in case the system did not have a working copy. Due to a bug in the +configure.in script the included REGEX library was being used even if +a working copy was detected. This was making tinyproxy larger than it +needed. -There are a couple of features which I'm working on for the next -release. There has been requests for logging on tunnelled -connections. Also, some people would like HTTP filtering on tunnelled -connections. Finally, I do have the information to include SSL -connections, so I will be including it in the next release. +I would suggest that everyone upgrade to this version; especially +anyone who is still running 1.4.0 or below. -So, the above bugs are fixed, hopefully there are no other ones. The -new features will be worked into the next few releases. - -Update ------- -2001-08-28 - The log levels _now_ finally work correctly. I have -tested all the levels in the configuration file and the logging -function now outputs the correct information. - -2001-08-27 - Fix one bug and two more crop up. The MIME type was -incorrect in the httperr() function; this has been fixed. -Jeffrey D. Wheelhouse included a patch to increase the stack size on -some machine (notably FreeBSD) and also included a patch to allow -tinyproxy to compile on FreeBSD. I really hope that _this_ is that -last minor-minor version for a while.
