3 * Added some basic sanity checks to the commit script that now makes
4 sure we at least attempt to keep copyright dates updated whenever we
7 * Added checks that the debian/changelog file is up-to-date
9 * Added debian/watch file
11 * Updated the Standards-Version in debian/control. Still need to
12 review whether we are in full compliance, though.
14 2009-11-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
16 * Preparations for packaging ShellInABox in a way that makes it
17 easy for Debian package maintainers to pick it up.
19 2009-11-25 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
21 * On browsers that support CSS transforms, enable switching between
22 80 and 132 column mode.
24 2009-11-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
26 * Updated manual page documenting --user-css
28 * Released version 2.10
30 2009-11-18 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
32 * Fixed some compiler warnings when using more recent versions of
35 * Tweak the handling of CTRL keys, so that some of the more unusual
36 combinations work. For historic reasons, there is an expectation that
37 CTRL-3..CTRL-8 return specific control characters. Also fixed the
38 handling of CTRL-\ which could cause problems with some browsers.
40 * Rely on the browser for capitalization. This should fix Capslock
41 behavior. Hopefully, it won't break any other keyboard features or
44 2009-08-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
46 * Added transparent printing support. The development of this
47 feature is sponsored by De Bortoli Wines Pty Limited and by
48 Eternity Technologies.
50 2009-08-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
52 * Added a ${url} parameter that can be used in the service description.
54 2009-08-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
56 * Added support for user selectable style sheets. Included example
57 style sheets that allow switching to white-on-black or to monochrome
58 mode from the right click context menu.
60 * Fixed the "|" key on Swedish keyboards.
62 2009-07-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
64 * Added the --css command line option to make incremental changes
65 to the style sheet without having to load a full replacement with
66 the --static-file option. Added an example that enables white text
67 on a black background.
69 * Added Debian specific documentation to the manual page.
71 2009-07-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
73 * Allow unprivileged users to run the daemon. This requires
74 calling "ssh" instead of "login".
76 2009-07-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
78 * Use JavaScript redirection for attaching the missing slash to
79 the URL. This should make it easier to use reverse proxies. It was
80 already possible to run shellinaboxd behind a proxy, but a lot of
81 users got the configuration wrong.
83 2009-07-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
85 * Optionally compress large responses, if the browser accepts
86 deflate compression. This mainly improves start up time.
88 * More fine tuning of the regular expressions that detect URLs.
89 We now allow '.' and ',' in URLs, as long as they are not at the
90 very end of the URL, where they would probably be part of the
91 enclosing sentence and not actually part of the URL.
93 2009-07-06 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
95 * Making it easier to host the terminal on non-root URLs by always
96 redirecting to a URL that includes a trailing slash.
98 * Run-time testing for availability of libpthread functions does not
99 work reliably on some platforms. So, avoid doing so on anything
100 other than Linux/i386. For all other platforms, assume that the code
101 is not linked against libpthread. For ShellInABox, this is always
102 the correct assumption. But if the code gets embedded into other
103 projects, this might have to be changed.
105 2009-07-05 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
107 * Released version 2.9
109 2009-07-04 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
111 * Refined regular expressions for finding URLs.
113 * Show new terminal size when resizing the browser.
115 * Restored compatibility with IE5 and IE6.
117 2009-07-03 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
119 * Added --linkify option. Default settings cause the terminal to
120 recognize fully qualified URLs and to make them clickable.
122 2009-06-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
124 * Added support for keyboards that have a dedicated "<" / ">" key.
126 2009-06-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
128 * Added --localhost option.
130 * Added support for building on ARM.
132 * Respect "Connection: close" for proxies that rely on pre-HTTP/1.1
135 2009-05-24 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
137 * Added SSL support for OpenBSD
139 2009-05-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
141 * Released version 2.8
143 2009-05-22 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
145 * Improved support for entering non-ASCII characters.
147 2009-05-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
149 * Fixed various issues with building on OpenBSD
151 2009-04-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
153 * Fixed variable expansion in service descriptions.
155 2009-04-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
157 * Released version 2.7
159 * Improved compatibility with some PAM configurations when running
160 as a non-privileged user.
162 * Fixed a bug that required shells to output data (e.g. a prompt)
163 before they could read the first data.
165 * Fixed a potential crash.
167 2009-04-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
169 * Released version 2.6
171 * The demo application is still incomplete, but starting to be
172 somewhat functional. The BASIC interpreter supports variables, and
173 can parse expressions. But it is still missing all flow-control
174 commands, making it somewhat useless for writing real programs.
176 2009-03-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
178 * Added initial revision of demo application.
180 * Show fatal error message even when running in "quiet" mode.
182 * Make it easier to override parameters needed by the system startup
185 2009-03-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
187 * Added support for chained SSL certificates
189 2009-03-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
191 * Added an INSTALL.Debian file with Debian-specific instructions on
192 how to build and install a package file.
194 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
196 * Possible fix for IE problems with horizontal positioning of
197 cursor if the line ends in spaces.
199 * Work-around for an IE6 bug when doing HTTPS through proxies.
201 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
203 * Released version 2.5
205 * More testing on older IE versions.
207 2009-03-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
209 * Fixed cursor positioning. Hopefully, more browsers will be happy
212 * Explicitly added no-cache headers to our responses. This might help
213 with the IE6 problems.
215 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
217 * Allow root to bind to privileged port.
219 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
223 * Fixed possible memory corruption, when sessions time out.
225 2009-03-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
227 * Fixed some compiler warnings, that newer versions of GCC issue.
229 2009-02-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
231 * Added fallback on old-style pty's, if /dev/pts is not mounted.
233 * Work-around for systems that don't define a "nogroup" group.
235 * Remove the dependency on fdopendir, which does not exist
238 2009-02-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
240 * Include VCS revision number in user-visible version string.
242 * Allow "configure" to select whether OpenSSL and PAM libraries
243 should be used at all, dynamically searched-for at run-time, or
244 linked as a regular dynamic library.
246 * Fixed various bugs that prevents ShellInABox from running on
249 2009-02-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
251 * Released version 2.4
253 2009-02-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
255 * Fixed fatal compiler warning if compiling without SSL support.
257 * Fixed cursor hiding and showing
259 * Fixed various rendering glitches reported by Phil Endecott of
260 Anyterm (http://anyterm.org) fame.
262 * Made code more portable. In particular, fixed sed scripts.
264 * Added explicit config.h file, instead of passing configuration
265 options on the compiler's command line.
267 * Fixed compilation issues on BSD systems. Code is still untested
268 and unsupported on non-Linux systems at this time.
270 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
272 * Released version 2.3
274 * Fixed a show-stopper bug that broke the --cert option.
276 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
278 * Released version 2.2
280 * Fixed a bug that could result in the font getting corrupted.
282 * Improved compatibility with more versions of the OpenSSL library.
283 Previously, the feature test for TLSEXT did not always work correctly,
284 resulting in compilation failures.
286 * Improved support for embedding shellinaboxd into existing web
287 services. SSL certificates can now be passed in through a file
288 handle, and port and pid numbers can be retrieved from the CGI header.
290 2009-01-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
292 * Released version 2.1
294 * Fixed build errors mostly related to x86_64.
296 * Added --no-beep command line option to avoid VLC plugin crashing
299 * Fixed multi-line selections in Firefox.
301 2009-01-01 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
303 * Added CGI mode for demand-loading the shellinaboxd daemon
304 from a web server. This also allows for the web server to
305 perform authentication, instead of having shellinaboxd do so.
307 * Tightened setuid-root operation to no longer allow switching
308 to arbitrary users/groups. As before, setuid-root remains a
309 non-standard configuration that is not currently recommended.
311 * Fixed session management to deal better with torn down
312 connections. Closed one bug that could have resulted in
313 permanently orphaned connections, when the browser navigated
316 2008-12-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
318 * First public release of the version 2.0 rewrite. This is the
319 first release of ShellInABox that supports an AJAX interface
320 instead of the original Java applet.
