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 * Fixed lintian errors.
16 2009-11-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
18 * Preparations for packaging ShellInABox in a way that makes it
19 easy for Debian package maintainers to pick it up.
21 2009-11-25 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
23 * On browsers that support CSS transforms, enable switching between
24 80 and 132 column mode.
26 2009-11-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
28 * Updated manual page documenting --user-css
30 * Released version 2.10
32 2009-11-18 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
34 * Fixed some compiler warnings when using more recent versions of
37 * Tweak the handling of CTRL keys, so that some of the more unusual
38 combinations work. For historic reasons, there is an expectation that
39 CTRL-3..CTRL-8 return specific control characters. Also fixed the
40 handling of CTRL-\ which could cause problems with some browsers.
42 * Rely on the browser for capitalization. This should fix Capslock
43 behavior. Hopefully, it won't break any other keyboard features or
46 2009-08-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
48 * Added transparent printing support. The development of this
49 feature is sponsored by De Bortoli Wines Pty Limited and by
50 Eternity Technologies.
52 2009-08-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
54 * Added a ${url} parameter that can be used in the service description.
56 2009-08-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
58 * Added support for user selectable style sheets. Included example
59 style sheets that allow switching to white-on-black or to monochrome
60 mode from the right click context menu.
62 * Fixed the "|" key on Swedish keyboards.
64 2009-07-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
66 * Added the --css command line option to make incremental changes
67 to the style sheet without having to load a full replacement with
68 the --static-file option. Added an example that enables white text
69 on a black background.
71 * Added Debian specific documentation to the manual page.
73 2009-07-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
75 * Allow unprivileged users to run the daemon. This requires
76 calling "ssh" instead of "login".
78 2009-07-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
80 * Use JavaScript redirection for attaching the missing slash to
81 the URL. This should make it easier to use reverse proxies. It was
82 already possible to run shellinaboxd behind a proxy, but a lot of
83 users got the configuration wrong.
85 2009-07-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
87 * Optionally compress large responses, if the browser accepts
88 deflate compression. This mainly improves start up time.
90 * More fine tuning of the regular expressions that detect URLs.
91 We now allow '.' and ',' in URLs, as long as they are not at the
92 very end of the URL, where they would probably be part of the
93 enclosing sentence and not actually part of the URL.
95 2009-07-06 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
97 * Making it easier to host the terminal on non-root URLs by always
98 redirecting to a URL that includes a trailing slash.
100 * Run-time testing for availability of libpthread functions does not
101 work reliably on some platforms. So, avoid doing so on anything
102 other than Linux/i386. For all other platforms, assume that the code
103 is not linked against libpthread. For ShellInABox, this is always
104 the correct assumption. But if the code gets embedded into other
105 projects, this might have to be changed.
107 2009-07-05 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
109 * Released version 2.9
111 2009-07-04 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
113 * Refined regular expressions for finding URLs.
115 * Show new terminal size when resizing the browser.
117 * Restored compatibility with IE5 and IE6.
119 2009-07-03 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
121 * Added --linkify option. Default settings cause the terminal to
122 recognize fully qualified URLs and to make them clickable.
124 2009-06-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
126 * Added support for keyboards that have a dedicated "<" / ">" key.
128 2009-06-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
130 * Added --localhost option.
132 * Added support for building on ARM.
134 * Respect "Connection: close" for proxies that rely on pre-HTTP/1.1
137 2009-05-24 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
139 * Added SSL support for OpenBSD
141 2009-05-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
143 * Released version 2.8
145 2009-05-22 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
147 * Improved support for entering non-ASCII characters.
149 2009-05-20 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
151 * Fixed various issues with building on OpenBSD
153 2009-04-28 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
155 * Fixed variable expansion in service descriptions.
157 2009-04-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
159 * Released version 2.7
161 * Improved compatibility with some PAM configurations when running
162 as a non-privileged user.
164 * Fixed a bug that required shells to output data (e.g. a prompt)
165 before they could read the first data.
167 * Fixed a potential crash.
169 2009-04-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
171 * Released version 2.6
173 * The demo application is still incomplete, but starting to be
174 somewhat functional. The BASIC interpreter supports variables, and
175 can parse expressions. But it is still missing all flow-control
176 commands, making it somewhat useless for writing real programs.
178 2009-03-30 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
180 * Added initial revision of demo application.
182 * Show fatal error message even when running in "quiet" mode.
184 * Make it easier to override parameters needed by the system startup
187 2009-03-29 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
189 * Added support for chained SSL certificates
191 2009-03-23 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
193 * Added an INSTALL.Debian file with Debian-specific instructions on
194 how to build and install a package file.
196 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
198 * Possible fix for IE problems with horizontal positioning of
199 cursor if the line ends in spaces.
201 * Work-around for an IE6 bug when doing HTTPS through proxies.
203 2009-03-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
205 * Released version 2.5
207 * More testing on older IE versions.
209 2009-03-19 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
211 * Fixed cursor positioning. Hopefully, more browsers will be happy
214 * Explicitly added no-cache headers to our responses. This might help
215 with the IE6 problems.
217 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
219 * Allow root to bind to privileged port.
221 2009-03-17 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
225 * Fixed possible memory corruption, when sessions time out.
227 2009-03-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
229 * Fixed some compiler warnings, that newer versions of GCC issue.
231 2009-02-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
233 * Added fallback on old-style pty's, if /dev/pts is not mounted.
235 * Work-around for systems that don't define a "nogroup" group.
237 * Remove the dependency on fdopendir, which does not exist
240 2009-02-16 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
242 * Include VCS revision number in user-visible version string.
244 * Allow "configure" to select whether OpenSSL and PAM libraries
245 should be used at all, dynamically searched-for at run-time, or
246 linked as a regular dynamic library.
248 * Fixed various bugs that prevents ShellInABox from running on
251 2009-02-12 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
253 * Released version 2.4
255 2009-02-11 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
257 * Fixed fatal compiler warning if compiling without SSL support.
259 * Fixed cursor hiding and showing
261 * Fixed various rendering glitches reported by Phil Endecott of
262 Anyterm (http://anyterm.org) fame.
264 * Made code more portable. In particular, fixed sed scripts.
266 * Added explicit config.h file, instead of passing configuration
267 options on the compiler's command line.
269 * Fixed compilation issues on BSD systems. Code is still untested
270 and unsupported on non-Linux systems at this time.
272 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
274 * Released version 2.3
276 * Fixed a show-stopper bug that broke the --cert option.
278 2009-01-21 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
280 * Released version 2.2
282 * Fixed a bug that could result in the font getting corrupted.
284 * Improved compatibility with more versions of the OpenSSL library.
285 Previously, the feature test for TLSEXT did not always work correctly,
286 resulting in compilation failures.
288 * Improved support for embedding shellinaboxd into existing web
289 services. SSL certificates can now be passed in through a file
290 handle, and port and pid numbers can be retrieved from the CGI header.
292 2009-01-08 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
294 * Released version 2.1
296 * Fixed build errors mostly related to x86_64.
298 * Added --no-beep command line option to avoid VLC plugin crashing
301 * Fixed multi-line selections in Firefox.
303 2009-01-01 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
305 * Added CGI mode for demand-loading the shellinaboxd daemon
306 from a web server. This also allows for the web server to
307 perform authentication, instead of having shellinaboxd do so.
309 * Tightened setuid-root operation to no longer allow switching
310 to arbitrary users/groups. As before, setuid-root remains a
311 non-standard configuration that is not currently recommended.
313 * Fixed session management to deal better with torn down
314 connections. Closed one bug that could have resulted in
315 permanently orphaned connections, when the browser navigated
318 2008-12-27 Markus Gutschke <markus@shellinabox.com>
320 * First public release of the version 2.0 rewrite. This is the
321 first release of ShellInABox that supports an AJAX interface
322 instead of the original Java applet.
