--------------------------
This version (1.4.3pre7) should be the last release before I make a NEWS
full 1.4.3 release of tinyproxy. So, assuming no one reports any ====
problems with 1.4.3pre7 it will become 1.4.3 with no changes.
For more information as what has been worked on, look at the There are a few problems with this version of tinyproxy, but I'm hoping
ChangeLog. As you can tell, I don't keep this "NEWS" file very up to the benefits outweigh the negative. For some reason tinyproxy is not
date. All the real logging of information happens in the ChangeLog able to handle requests to *.x10.com sites. (As someone mentioned: "maybe
file since I update it as I work on the code. Here on the other hand, this is a feature?" :) There also seem to be a few other random sites
I have to remember what I've done. Not near as seamless. (Maybe I where tinyproxy is not communicating with the server correctly. If you
should get somebody else to write the NEWS file...) find any such sites, let me know so I can add it to the list of domains
where tinyproxy is failing. I'll need this information for the regression
tests I plan on performing on the next release.
-- Robert As for the next release (1.5.0), I will not be adding new features.
tinyproxy doesn't currently conform correctly to either the HTTP/1.0
or the HTTP/1.1 standards. The goal of the 1.5 release therefore is
to achieve standards compliance with at least HTTP/1.0. If you have
looked at the tinyproxy code you will have noticed that all the real
work of the proxy is performed in the reqs.c file. Therefore, other
than bug fixes in the other files, only reqs.c should be changed in
the 1.5.0 release. Basically, I'm hoping to just gut and replace the
reqs.c file with a standards compliant version and release a new version.
Depending on my schedule I should have the new version ready for
pre-testing sometime next week. If you have any suggestions for improving
tinyproxy please let me know, but I will not be incorporating them until
1.6 (which _hopefully_ should come out fairly quickly after 1.5 has
stabilised.)
Tuesday, September 4, 2001 "Thank you" go out to all who have helped find bugs in the 1.4.3
-------------------------- candidates. You know who you are, and if you don't look in the ChangeLog
for your name. :)
I finally fixed a problem with the anonymous header code. The searches Robert James Kaes
are now all case insensitive. This fixes a problem where the spelling November 21, 2001
of the HTTP headers could be different. It also helps with various
spellings of domain names. There is also a security fix for a format
string problem with the syslog feature. This problem doesn't affect
you if you use the log file instead.
