1 2009-11-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
3 * Updated manual page documenting --user-css
5 * Released version 2.10
7 2009-11-18 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
9 * Fixed some compiler warnings when using more recent versions of
12 * Tweak the handling of CTRL keys, so that some of the more unusual
13 combinations work. For historic reasons, there is an expectation that
14 CTRL-3..CTRL-8 return specific control characters. Also fixed the
15 handling of CTRL-\ which could cause problems with some browsers.
17 * Rely on the browser for capitalization. This should fix Capslock
18 behavior. Hopefully, it won't break any other keyboard features or
21 2009-08-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
23 * Added transparent printing support. The development of this
24 feature is sponsored by De Bortoli Wines Pty Limited and by
25 Eternity Technologies.
27 2009-08-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
29 * Added a ${url} parameter that can be used in the service description.
31 2009-08-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
33 * Added support for user selectable style sheets. Included example
34 style sheets that allow switching to white-on-black or to monochrome
35 mode from the right click context menu.
37 * Fixed the "|" key on Swedish keyboards.
39 2009-07-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
41 * Added the --css command line option to make incremental changes
42 to the style sheet without having to load a full replacement with
43 the --static-file option. Added an example that enables white text
44 on a black background.
46 * Added Debian specific documentation to the manual page.
48 2009-07-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
50 * Allow unprivileged users to run the daemon. This requires
51 calling "ssh" instead of "login".
53 2009-07-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
55 * Use JavaScript redirection for attaching the missing slash to
56 the URL. This should make it easier to use reverse proxies. It was
57 already possible to run shellinaboxd behind a proxy, but a lot of
58 users got the configuration wrong.
60 2009-07-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
62 * Optionally compress large responses, if the browser accepts
63 deflate compression. This mainly improves start up time.
65 * More fine tuning of the regular expressions that detect URLs.
66 We now allow '.' and ',' in URLs, as long as they are not at the
67 very end of the URL, where they would probably be part of the
68 enclosing sentence and not actually part of the URL.
70 2009-07-06 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
72 * Making it easier to host the terminal on non-root URLs by always
73 redirecting to a URL that includes a trailing slash.
75 * Run-time testing for availability of libpthread functions does not
76 work reliably on some platforms. So, avoid doing so on anything
77 other than Linux/i386. For all other platforms, assume that the code
78 is not linked against libpthread. For ShellInABox, this is always
79 the correct assumption. But if the code gets embedded into other
80 projects, this might have to be changed.
82 2009-07-05 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
84 * Released version 2.9
86 2009-07-04 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
88 * Refined regular expressions for finding URLs.
90 * Show new terminal size when resizing the browser.
92 * Restored compatibility with IE5 and IE6.
94 2009-07-03 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
96 * Added --linkify option. Default settings cause the terminal to
97 recognize fully qualified URLs and to make them clickable.
99 2009-06-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
101 * Added support for keyboards that have a dedicated "<" / ">" key.
103 2009-06-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
105 * Added --localhost option.
107 * Added support for building on ARM.
109 * Respect "Connection: close" for proxies that rely on pre-HTTP/1.1
112 2009-05-24 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
114 * Added SSL support for OpenBSD
116 2009-05-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
118 * Released version 2.8
120 2009-05-22 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
122 * Improved support for entering non-ASCII characters.
124 2009-05-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
126 * Fixed various issues with building on OpenBSD
128 2009-04-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
130 * Fixed variable expansion in service descriptions.
132 2009-04-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
134 * Released version 2.7
136 * Improved compatibility with some PAM configurations when running
137 as a non-privileged user.
139 * Fixed a bug that required shells to output data (e.g. a prompt)
140 before they could read the first data.
142 * Fixed a potential crash.
144 2009-04-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
146 * Released version 2.6
148 * The demo application is still incomplete, but starting to be
149 somewhat functional. The BASIC interpreter supports variables, and
150 can parse expressions. But it is still missing all flow-control
151 commands, making it somewhat useless for writing real programs.
153 2009-03-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
155 * Added initial revision of demo application.
157 * Show fatal error message even when running in "quiet" mode.
159 * Make it easier to override parameters needed by the system startup
162 2009-03-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
164 * Added support for chained SSL certificates
166 2009-03-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
168 * Added an INSTALL.Debian file with Debian-specific instructions on
169 how to build and install a package file.
171 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
173 * Possible fix for IE problems with horizontal positioning of
174 cursor if the line ends in spaces.
176 * Work-around for an IE6 bug when doing HTTPS through proxies.
178 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
180 * Released version 2.5
182 * More testing on older IE versions.
184 2009-03-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
186 * Fixed cursor positioning. Hopefully, more browsers will be happy
189 * Explicitly added no-cache headers to our responses. This might help
190 with the IE6 problems.
192 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
194 * Allow root to bind to privileged port.
196 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
200 * Fixed possible memory corruption, when sessions time out.
202 2009-03-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
204 * Fixed some compiler warnings, that newer versions of GCC issue.
206 2009-02-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
208 * Added fallback on old-style pty's, if /dev/pts is not mounted.
210 * Work-around for systems that don't define a "nogroup" group.
212 * Remove the dependency on fdopendir, which does not exist
215 2009-02-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
217 * Include VCS revision number in user-visible version string.
219 * Allow "configure" to select whether OpenSSL and PAM libraries
220 should be used at all, dynamically searched-for at run-time, or
221 linked as a regular dynamic library.
223 * Fixed various bugs that prevents ShellInABox from running on
226 2009-02-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
228 * Released version 2.4
230 2009-02-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
232 * Fixed fatal compiler warning if compiling without SSL support.
234 * Fixed cursor hiding and showing
236 * Fixed various rendering glitches reported by Phil Endecott of
237 Anyterm (http://anyterm.org) fame.
239 * Made code more portable. In particular, fixed sed scripts.
241 * Added explicit config.h file, instead of passing configuration
242 options on the compiler's command line.
244 * Fixed compilation issues on BSD systems. Code is still untested
245 and unsupported on non-Linux systems at this time.
247 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
249 * Released version 2.3
251 * Fixed a show-stopper bug that broke the --cert option.
253 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
255 * Released version 2.2
257 * Fixed a bug that could result in the font getting corrupted.
259 * Improved compatibility with more versions of the OpenSSL library.
260 Previously, the feature test for TLSEXT did not always work correctly,
261 resulting in compilation failures.
263 * Improved support for embedding shellinaboxd into existing web
264 services. SSL certificates can now be passed in through a file
265 handle, and port and pid numbers can be retrieved from the CGI header.
267 2009-01-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
269 * Released version 2.1
271 * Fixed build errors mostly related to x86_64.
273 * Added --no-beep command line option to avoid VLC plugin crashing
276 * Fixed multi-line selections in Firefox.
278 2009-01-01 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
280 * Added CGI mode for demand-loading the shellinaboxd daemon
281 from a web server. This also allows for the web server to
282 perform authentication, instead of having shellinaboxd do so.
284 * Tightened setuid-root operation to no longer allow switching
285 to arbitrary users/groups. As before, setuid-root remains a
286 non-standard configuration that is not currently recommended.
288 * Fixed session management to deal better with torn down
289 connections. Closed one bug that could have resulted in
290 permanently orphaned connections, when the browser navigated
293 2008-12-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
295 * First public release of the version 2.0 rewrite. This is the
296 first release of ShellInABox that supports an AJAX interface
297 instead of the original Java applet.
