- Perform all URL rewriting before loading the first resource (e.g. style sheets).

[test.git] / ChangeLog

2009-07-27  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Use JavaScript redirection for attaching the missing slash to
	the URL. This should make it easier to use reverse proxies. It was
	already possible to run shellinaboxd behind a proxy, but a lot of
	users got the configuration wrong.

2009-07-08  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Optionally compress large responses, if the browser accepts
	deflate compression. This mainly improves start up time.

	* More fine tuning of the regular expressions that detect URLs.
	We now allow '.' and ',' in URLs, as long as they are not at the
	very end of the URL, where they would probably be part of the
	enclosing sentence and not actually part of the URL.

2009-07-06  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Making it easier to host the terminal on non-root URLs by always
	redirecting to a URL that includes a trailing slash.

	* Run-time testing for availability of libpthread functions does not
	  work reliably on some platforms. So, avoid doing so on anything
	  other than Linux/i386. For all other platforms, assume that the code
	  is not linked against libpthread. For ShellInABox, this is always
	  the correct assumption. But if the code gets embedded into other
	  projects, this might have to be changed.

2009-07-05  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.9

2009-07-04  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Refined regular expressions for finding URLs.

	* Show new terminal size when resizing the browser.

	* Restored compatibility with IE5 and IE6.

2009-07-03  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added --linkify option. Default settings cause the terminal to
	recognize fully qualified URLs and to make them clickable.

2009-06-28  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added support for keyboards that have a dedicated "<" / ">" key.

2009-06-21  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added --localhost option.

	* Added support for building on ARM.

	* Respect "Connection: close" for proxies that rely on pre-HTTP/1.1
	behavior.

2009-05-24  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added SSL support for OpenBSD

2009-05-23  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.8

2009-05-22  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Improved support for entering non-ASCII characters.

2009-05-20  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Fixed various issues with building on OpenBSD

2009-04-28  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Fixed variable expansion in service descriptions.
	
2009-04-27  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.7

	* Improved compatibility with some PAM configurations when running
	as a non-privileged user.

	* Fixed a bug that required shells to output data (e.g. a prompt)
	before they could read the first data.

	* Fixed a potential crash.

2009-04-12  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.6

	* The demo application is still incomplete, but starting to be
	somewhat functional. The BASIC interpreter supports variables, and
	can parse expressions. But it is still missing all flow-control
	commands, making it somewhat useless for writing real programs.

2009-03-30  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added initial revision of demo application.

	* Show fatal error message even when running in "quiet" mode.

	* Make it easier to override parameters needed by the system startup
	scripts.

2009-03-29  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added support for chained SSL certificates

2009-03-23  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added an INSTALL.Debian file with Debian-specific instructions on
	how to build and install a package file.

2009-03-21  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Possible fix for IE problems with horizontal positioning of
	cursor if the line ends in spaces.

	* Work-around for an IE6 bug when doing HTTPS through proxies.
	
2009-03-21  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.5

	* More testing on older IE versions.

2009-03-19  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Fixed cursor positioning. Hopefully, more browsers will be happy
	with this, now.

	* Explicitly added no-cache headers to our responses. This might help
	with the IE6 problems.

2009-03-17  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Allow root to bind to privileged port.

2009-03-17  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Fixed IE6 support.

	* Fixed possible memory corruption, when sessions time out.

2009-03-16  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Fixed some compiler warnings, that newer versions of GCC issue.

2009-02-27  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added fallback on old-style pty's, if /dev/pts is not mounted.

	* Work-around for systems that don't define a "nogroup" group.

	* Remove the dependency on fdopendir, which does not exist
	everywhere.

2009-02-16  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Include VCS revision number in user-visible version string.

	* Allow "configure" to select whether OpenSSL and PAM libraries
	should be used at all, dynamically searched-for at run-time, or
	linked as a regular dynamic library.

	* Fixed various bugs that prevents ShellInABox from running on
	FreeBSD

2009-02-12  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.4

2009-02-11  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Fixed fatal compiler warning if compiling without SSL support.

	* Fixed cursor hiding and showing

	* Fixed various rendering glitches reported by Phil Endecott of
	Anyterm (http://anyterm.org) fame.

	* Made code more portable. In particular, fixed sed scripts.

	* Added explicit config.h file, instead of passing configuration
	options on the compiler's command line.

	* Fixed compilation issues on BSD systems. Code is still untested
	and unsupported on non-Linux systems at this time.

2009-01-21  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.3

	* Fixed a show-stopper bug that broke the --cert option.

2009-01-21  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.2

	* Fixed a bug that could result in the font getting corrupted.

	* Improved compatibility with more versions of the OpenSSL library.
	Previously, the feature test for TLSEXT did not always work correctly,
	resulting in compilation failures.

	* Improved support for embedding shellinaboxd into existing web
	services. SSL certificates can now be passed in through a file
	handle, and port and pid numbers can be retrieved from the CGI header.

2009-01-08  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Released version 2.1

	* Fixed build errors mostly related to x86_64.

	* Added --no-beep command line option to avoid VLC plugin crashing
	Firefox/x86_64.

	* Fixed multi-line selections in Firefox.

2009-01-01  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* Added CGI mode for demand-loading the shellinaboxd daemon
	from a web server. This also allows for the web server to
	perform authentication, instead of having shellinaboxd do so.
	
	* Tightened setuid-root operation to no longer allow switching
	to arbitrary users/groups. As before, setuid-root remains a
	non-standard configuration that is not currently recommended.
	
	* Fixed session management to deal better with torn down
	connections. Closed one bug that could have resulted in
	permanently orphaned connections, when the browser navigated
	away from the page.

2008-12-27  Markus Gutschke  <markus@shellinabox.com>

	* First public release of the version 2.0 rewrite. This is the
	first release of ShellInABox that supports an AJAX interface
	instead of the original Java applet.
