[Thanks to Ewan McPhail for hint] Changes between 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 ------------------------------- 970501 o added -P option to etc/newsvers o removed \n at SCRIPT_.._CTIME 970502 o replaced the $| = 1 stuff in eperl_perl5.c to the way mod_perl does it [Thanks to Doug MacEachern for patch] o enhanced the SetUID-based UID/GID checking: now in eperl_global.h is an option DO_ON_FAILED_STEP which either forces ePerl to error on any failed checks or go on but finally don't do the UID/GID switching o moved the security definitions from eperl_global.h to a new eperl_security.h and changed the references in eperl.pod Changes between 2.1b8 and 2.1.0 ------------------------------- 970426 o removed more obsolete @@logfile@@ stuff o again revised eperl.pod o !! CHANGED LICENSE !! NOW ePerl IS DISTRIBUTED AT THE TERMS OF EITHER THE GPL OR THE ARTISTIC LICENSE LIKE THE Perl 5.0 INTERPRETER ITSELF o fixed /tmp/x usage in configure o created PORTING file o tested ePerl on various platforms o made seteuid/setegid configureable via GNU autoconf for HP/UX and others o made the include files in eperl_globa.h conditional o made the -O2 conditional for GCC only Changes between 2.1b7 and 2.1b8 ------------------------------- 970425 o fixed installation manpath o fixed a security hole: the effective uid/gid have to be eliminated independend of mode and uid switching o fixed some typos in eperl.pod o rewritten the NEWS file o renamed the options: -D => -d, -E => -D (more intuitive) -b => -B, -e => -E (prevent conflicts) o fixed the order of command line option descriptions o removed the @@logfile@@ stuff from Makefile Changes between 2.1b6 and 2.1b7 ------------------------------- 970425 o fixed error page colors o changed some aux files: NEWS, TODO o added .cgi to allowed extensions for using shebang CGI/ePerl scripts o added more clear info about shebang to eperl.pod o fixed more bugs in eperl.pod o removed the exit on debug o finished the test suite o slightly fixed the usage output o added support for HEAD requests in case the server does not do it for us o documented provided env variables o created new isotime() function for SCRIPT_SRC_MODIFIED_ISOTIME variable o removed eperl_log.c because this will be used in later versions only Changes between 2.1b5 and 2.1b6 ------------------------------- 970414 o slightly changed the error message page 970418 o created -c for syntax check like "perl -c" o now the default delimiters are for CGI modes and <: ...:> for Filter mode o removed the delimiters defs in eperl_global.h but added a table to eperl.pod o completely rewritten the setuid security stuff !! o added security information to eperl.pod o now -x does something useful: it outputs the internally generated Perl script to /dev/tty and exits Changes between 2.1b4 and 2.1b5 ------------------------------- 970404 o now when used as a Unix filter the exit code is != 0 on error while for CGI scripts it is still 0 (needed to make the webserver happy and to force him to accept your HTML error page). o now prints the error message on stderr instead of stdout in Unix filter mode o fixed "make distclean", now t/Makefile is also removed. Changes between 2.1b3 and 2.1b4 ------------------------------- 970403 o fixed a bug in the b3 distribution: autoheader was not run, so to _compile_ ePerl GNU autoconf was needed. :-( o slight adjustments to eperl.pod Changes between 2.1b2 and 2.1b3 ------------------------------- 970402 o starting with Perl 5.003_96 the dXSUB_SYS define is empty. Removed the call and the gcc -Wall kludge from eperl_perl5.c o fixed etc/newvers o add "none" to configure DynaLoader check Changes between 2.1b1 and 2.1b2 ------------------------------- 970330 o reduced the logo GIF image in size to fit betteri into the browser window. The reduced one also has 10 KB less bytes. o made the Error HTML page nicer o removed the not used -a (age) option Changes between 2.1b0 and 2.1b1 ------------------------------- 970326 o added "-o file" to the usage message o when running as a Unix filter the current working directory is restored before the final outputfile (-o) is created. o documented that "-o outputfile" is relative to source file dir when runtime mode is CGI or NPH-CGI o added new-betalevel to Makefile.in Changes between 2.0.3 and 2.1b0 ------------------------------- 970322 o released as 2.1b0 for first test 970310 o added --with-perl=/path/to/perl option to ./configure to force a specific perl 970302 o removed getdate.c stuff :-( o added more tests o changed aux dir to etc for porting to WinNT :-( 970228 o debugged and cleanup up eperl_parse.c o fixed the core-dump under SunOS which comes from SunOS' non-POSIX vsprintf(). o removed the sdbm and md5 stuff because this should be introduced in 3.0 later only. o removed brainfile stuff o fixed another coredump in eperl_parse.c o fixed mode determination and mode-dependend error message 970227 o debugged and cleanup up eperl_parse.c 970226 o added dmalloc support for debugging 970224 o changed sprintf stuff to more portable variant in eperl_main.c o now autoconf checks for memmove and if not found eperl_parse.c uses bcopy. 970219 o changed bool checking to Autoconf stuff 970216 o ported to Linux: now bool is defined, prefix was replaced by AC_prefix to avoid collisions and the ccdlflags from Perl are used which need to be -rdynamic under Linux. Now ePerl compiles out of the box on Linux and runs fine, even with dynamic loading. 970210 o added getdate() code o added --enable-brainfile=/path/to/brainfile which sets the brain file where timestamps and md5 etc. are stored. o added -a option to set an age 970209 o added MD5 code o added SDBM code 970207 o changed -c and -s options to -m c and -m f o adding -m n for NPH/CGI, -m c is no only CGI o added stdin support via "-" and tmpfiles o added automatic tmpfile support with remove on interrupts or errors o now the old tempfiles are also created with new mechanism o added -o option for specifying an explicit outputfile instead of stdout o greatly imporved the manpage and brroght it to the latest status o created a test suite with Perl Test::Harness o now ePerl also accepts an empty file o added a security logfile which can be optionally enabled via "--enable-logfile=/path/to/logfile" at compile time. o added configure support for debug compilation via --enable-debug. This adds -g -ggdb3 to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS and prevents the executable from being stripped. o removed the old doc/ subdir with the old FAQ and About file. 970206 o removed the generation of libeperl.a o added a real installation target to Makefile o removed eperl_parse.h, because it is still replaced by the generated eperl_proto.h o added -V option which now displays the compile parameters o removed the .. tags from error output because for the stand-alone version is looks bad. o added experimental TAINT...TAINT_NOT around perl_run. o added -d option to set real Perl variables and not just $ENV{'...'}; 970128 o added support to configure for Perl snapshot releases named 5.003_XX. o added a first security check: If operating in NPH-CGI mode the source file has to be one of the predefined valid file extensions. o now when ePerl runs as a setuid program (seteuid = 0) it switches to the uid/gid of the file owner 970127 o added -D option to set environment variables. (this is needed for my WML project where in pass 3 eperl gets called via -D...) o added -k option to keep CWD. (this is needed for my WML project where ePerl should not chdir to the /tmp/xxx files). 970118 o make the BEGIN/END_DELIMITER strings variables which now can be set via -b and -e (this is needed for my WML project where I use two variants of embedded Perl blocks) 970107 o fixed this changelog file o added test directory o cleanup of Makefile o removed obsolete prototypes in eperl_lib.h o cleaned up eperl_global.h o make eperl_getopt.[ch] gcc -Wall clean o added support for shebang usage, i.e. you can use #!/path/to/eperl at the top of your pages and use them as a CGI script now. ePerl will ignore the shebang line. o moved the system IO and env functions out to new eperl_sys.c o renamed eperl_lib to eperl_parse o Hups! all references to the CGI/1.0 standard were wrong, it actually is CGI/1.1... 970106 o added stand-alone interpreter with options o added -x and -v options o added README and LICENSE display o now ePerl reads the file from stdin if the argument is "-" o added a ePerl manual page for the stand-alone interpreter @ 1.1 log @Initial revision @ text @@ 1.1.1.1 log @Import of ePerl 2.2.14 @ text @@
