So, assuming no one reports any -problems with 1.4.3pre7 it will become 1.4.3 with no changes. + NEWS + ==== -For more information as what has been worked on, look at the -ChangeLog. As you can tell, I don't keep this "NEWS" file very up to -date. All the real logging of information happens in the ChangeLog -file since I update it as I work on the code. Here on the other hand, -I have to remember what I've done. Not near as seamless. (Maybe I -should get somebody else to write the NEWS file...) + There are a few problems with this version of tinyproxy, but I'm hoping + the benefits outweigh the negative. For some reason tinyproxy is not + able to handle requests to *.x10.com sites. (As someone mentioned: "maybe + this is a feature?" :) There also seem to be a few other random sites + where tinyproxy is not communicating with the server correctly. If you + find any such sites, let me know so I can add it to the list of domains + where tinyproxy is failing. I'll need this information for the regression + tests I plan on performing on the next release. - -- Robert + As for the next release (1.5.0), I will not be adding new features. + tinyproxy doesn't currently conform correctly to either the HTTP/1.0 + or the HTTP/1.1 standards. The goal of the 1.5 release therefore is + to achieve standards compliance with at least HTTP/1.0. If you have + looked at the tinyproxy code you will have noticed that all the real + work of the proxy is performed in the reqs.c file. Therefore, other + than bug fixes in the other files, only reqs.c should be changed in + the 1.5.0 release. Basically, I'm hoping to just gut and replace the + reqs.c file with a standards compliant version and release a new version. + Depending on my schedule I should have the new version ready for + pre-testing sometime next week. If you have any suggestions for improving + tinyproxy please let me know, but I will not be incorporating them until + 1.6 (which _hopefully_ should come out fairly quickly after 1.5 has + stabilised.) -Tuesday, September 4, 2001 --------------------------- + "Thank you" go out to all who have helped find bugs in the 1.4.3 + candidates. You know who you are, and if you don't look in the ChangeLog + for your name. :) -I finally fixed a problem with the anonymous header code. The searches -are now all case insensitive. This fixes a problem where the spelling -of the HTTP headers could be different. It also helps with various -spellings of domain names. There is also a security fix for a format -string problem with the syslog feature. This problem doesn't affect -you if you use the log file instead. - - -- Robert
