NEWS There has been a tonne of work done on tinyproxy since the beginning
==== of last week. I have been releasing minor-minor-minor point releases,
but the changes in this release constitute a minor-minor point
release. Please see the ChangeLog for detail descriptions of all the
changes, but here is a brief list.
Well so much for the 1.4.0 version being the best tinyproxy---there The most serious fix is to the DNS caching system. There was a memory

others) child threads would not be closed if they had been created
after tinyproxy had been started. Finally, if MaxClientRequests was
set to 0, the status of the thread was not going back to T_WAITING.

connections. Finally, I do have the information to include SSL
connections, so I will be including it in the next release.
So, the above bugs are fixed, hopefully there are no other ones. The -- Robert
new features will be worked into the next few releases.
Update
------
2001-08-28 - The log levels _now_ finally work correctly. I have
tested all the levels in the configuration file and the logging
function now outputs the correct information.
2001-08-27 - Fix one bug and two more crop up. The MIME type was
incorrect in the httperr() function; this has been fixed.
Jeffrey D. Wheelhouse included a patch to increase the stack size on
some machine (notably FreeBSD) and also included a patch to allow
tinyproxy to compile on FreeBSD. I really hope that _this_ is that
last minor-minor version for a while.
