1 2009-08-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
3 * Added a ${url} parameter that can be used in the service description.
5 2009-08-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
7 * Added support for user selectable style sheets. Included example
8 style sheets that allow switching to white-on-black or to monochrome
9 mode from the right click context menu.
11 * Fixed the "|" key on Swedish keyboards.
13 2009-07-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
15 * Added the --css command line option to make incremental changes
16 to the style sheet without having to load a full replacement with
17 the --static-file option. Added an example that enables white text
18 on a black background.
20 * Added Debian specific documentation to the manual page.
22 2009-07-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
24 * Allow unprivileged users to run the daemon. This requires
25 calling "ssh" instead of "login".
27 2009-07-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
29 * Use JavaScript redirection for attaching the missing slash to
30 the URL. This should make it easier to use reverse proxies. It was
31 already possible to run shellinaboxd behind a proxy, but a lot of
32 users got the configuration wrong.
34 2009-07-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
36 * Optionally compress large responses, if the browser accepts
37 deflate compression. This mainly improves start up time.
39 * More fine tuning of the regular expressions that detect URLs.
40 We now allow '.' and ',' in URLs, as long as they are not at the
41 very end of the URL, where they would probably be part of the
42 enclosing sentence and not actually part of the URL.
44 2009-07-06 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
46 * Making it easier to host the terminal on non-root URLs by always
47 redirecting to a URL that includes a trailing slash.
49 * Run-time testing for availability of libpthread functions does not
50 work reliably on some platforms. So, avoid doing so on anything
51 other than Linux/i386. For all other platforms, assume that the code
52 is not linked against libpthread. For ShellInABox, this is always
53 the correct assumption. But if the code gets embedded into other
54 projects, this might have to be changed.
56 2009-07-05 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
58 * Released version 2.9
60 2009-07-04 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
62 * Refined regular expressions for finding URLs.
64 * Show new terminal size when resizing the browser.
66 * Restored compatibility with IE5 and IE6.
68 2009-07-03 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
70 * Added --linkify option. Default settings cause the terminal to
71 recognize fully qualified URLs and to make them clickable.
73 2009-06-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
75 * Added support for keyboards that have a dedicated "<" / ">" key.
77 2009-06-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
79 * Added --localhost option.
81 * Added support for building on ARM.
83 * Respect "Connection: close" for proxies that rely on pre-HTTP/1.1
86 2009-05-24 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
88 * Added SSL support for OpenBSD
90 2009-05-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
92 * Released version 2.8
94 2009-05-22 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
96 * Improved support for entering non-ASCII characters.
98 2009-05-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
100 * Fixed various issues with building on OpenBSD
102 2009-04-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
104 * Fixed variable expansion in service descriptions.
106 2009-04-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
108 * Released version 2.7
110 * Improved compatibility with some PAM configurations when running
111 as a non-privileged user.
113 * Fixed a bug that required shells to output data (e.g. a prompt)
114 before they could read the first data.
116 * Fixed a potential crash.
118 2009-04-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
120 * Released version 2.6
122 * The demo application is still incomplete, but starting to be
123 somewhat functional. The BASIC interpreter supports variables, and
124 can parse expressions. But it is still missing all flow-control
125 commands, making it somewhat useless for writing real programs.
127 2009-03-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
129 * Added initial revision of demo application.
131 * Show fatal error message even when running in "quiet" mode.
133 * Make it easier to override parameters needed by the system startup
136 2009-03-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
138 * Added support for chained SSL certificates
140 2009-03-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
142 * Added an INSTALL.Debian file with Debian-specific instructions on
143 how to build and install a package file.
145 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
147 * Possible fix for IE problems with horizontal positioning of
148 cursor if the line ends in spaces.
150 * Work-around for an IE6 bug when doing HTTPS through proxies.
152 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
154 * Released version 2.5
156 * More testing on older IE versions.
158 2009-03-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
160 * Fixed cursor positioning. Hopefully, more browsers will be happy
163 * Explicitly added no-cache headers to our responses. This might help
164 with the IE6 problems.
166 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
168 * Allow root to bind to privileged port.
170 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
174 * Fixed possible memory corruption, when sessions time out.
176 2009-03-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
178 * Fixed some compiler warnings, that newer versions of GCC issue.
180 2009-02-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
182 * Added fallback on old-style pty's, if /dev/pts is not mounted.
184 * Work-around for systems that don't define a "nogroup" group.
186 * Remove the dependency on fdopendir, which does not exist
189 2009-02-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
191 * Include VCS revision number in user-visible version string.
193 * Allow "configure" to select whether OpenSSL and PAM libraries
194 should be used at all, dynamically searched-for at run-time, or
195 linked as a regular dynamic library.
197 * Fixed various bugs that prevents ShellInABox from running on
200 2009-02-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
202 * Released version 2.4
204 2009-02-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
206 * Fixed fatal compiler warning if compiling without SSL support.
208 * Fixed cursor hiding and showing
210 * Fixed various rendering glitches reported by Phil Endecott of
211 Anyterm (http://anyterm.org) fame.
213 * Made code more portable. In particular, fixed sed scripts.
215 * Added explicit config.h file, instead of passing configuration
216 options on the compiler's command line.
218 * Fixed compilation issues on BSD systems. Code is still untested
219 and unsupported on non-Linux systems at this time.
221 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
223 * Released version 2.3
225 * Fixed a show-stopper bug that broke the --cert option.
227 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
229 * Released version 2.2
231 * Fixed a bug that could result in the font getting corrupted.
233 * Improved compatibility with more versions of the OpenSSL library.
234 Previously, the feature test for TLSEXT did not always work correctly,
235 resulting in compilation failures.
237 * Improved support for embedding shellinaboxd into existing web
238 services. SSL certificates can now be passed in through a file
239 handle, and port and pid numbers can be retrieved from the CGI header.
241 2009-01-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
243 * Released version 2.1
245 * Fixed build errors mostly related to x86_64.
247 * Added --no-beep command line option to avoid VLC plugin crashing
250 * Fixed multi-line selections in Firefox.
252 2009-01-01 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
254 * Added CGI mode for demand-loading the shellinaboxd daemon
255 from a web server. This also allows for the web server to
256 perform authentication, instead of having shellinaboxd do so.
258 * Tightened setuid-root operation to no longer allow switching
259 to arbitrary users/groups. As before, setuid-root remains a
260 non-standard configuration that is not currently recommended.
262 * Fixed session management to deal better with torn down
263 connections. Closed one bug that could have resulted in
264 permanently orphaned connections, when the browser navigated
267 2008-12-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
269 * First public release of the version 2.0 rewrite. This is the
270 first release of ShellInABox that supports an AJAX interface
271 instead of the original Java applet.
