Revision history for Perl extension CGI::SpeedyCGI.
2.0 Mon Sep 11 02:46:57 PDT 2000
- Use unix sockets instead of tcp sockets. Fixes the TIME_WAIT
problem in 1.x releases.
- When a backend hits MaxRuns it now re-execs itself. Setting
MaxRuns to 1 allows pre-compilation of scripts that can't run
persistently.
- Cleaner implementation of MaxBackends using frontend queuing.
- The backend is now a separate binary from the frontend.
- mod_spedycgi is now a shared object (DSO).
- Redesigned temp-file structure:
- One temp-file for each user, used for all speedy processes
running under that uid.
- Track backends regardless of their state.
- Two way queuing - backends waiting on frontends and frontends
waiting on backends.
- Support for multiple scripts running in a single interpreter.
Not yet implemented in code.
1.8.3 Sat Aug 01 16:52:20 GMT 2000
- Added MAXBACKENDS feature to limit number of backend processes
spawned. This required changing the format of the backend
queue. Now each entry has a pid, port number, and used flag.
The queue now contains a list of all backend processes, with
the used flag present to determine whether or not the process
is in use.
- Added contrib directory with instructions on using SpeedyCGI
with HTML::Mason
1.8.2 Sun Jun 6 04:01:53 GMT 1999
- Make I/O more compatible with PerlIO
1.8.1 Sat Jun 5 12:30:43 PDT 1999
- Fix compile failure under perl 5.004.
1.8 Thu Jun 3 13:20:00 PDT 1999
- Now has support for an Apache module front-end, mod_speedycgi.
This is a optional performance improvement -- it is not required
in order to run SpeedyCGI under Apache. See apache/README
for details.
- Fix for initial_eof test bug on SGI-Irix.
- New CGI:SpeedyCGI method "i_am_speedy" allows the script
to tell whether it is running under SpeedyCGI
- New CGI::SpeedyCGI methods "setopt" and "getopt" allow the
script to set/get SpeedyCGI options at runtime.
- Fix for bug in Solaris where SpeedyCGI options could not be
passed in on the #! line.
- Better documentation
- Fix to make t/shutdown.t work before "make install" is done.
1.7 Thu May 13 00:28:42 PDT 1999
- Re-did a lot of the queue.c code. Fixes the bug where queue
order was not being preserved when a perl-proc exited. Also
saves a couple syscalls when using read/write instead of mmap.
- Fixed compile warnings on Dec Alpha in start_perl.c and
speedy.c
- Added "sleep 2" to fix t/basic.t test #2 under HP-UX.
- Secret word was not very random on little-endian systems.
1.6 Sun Apr 4 18:18:25 PDT 1999
- added support for stderr.
- make sure to cd back to original directory after each perl run.
- signals are now reset between every request.
- wrote speedy_poll.c -- allows compilation for
either poll or select, using defines USE_POLL or USE_SELECT.
Default is poll for sysv & sun, select for all others.
- queue.c patch for compile failure on alpha/OSF1 V3.2.
From Jean-Damien Durand <jdurand@mail.cern.ch>
- Use mtime instead of ctime to check whether a file has changed.
Touch doesn't reliably update ctime on some systems.
- Send over environment using the same poll loop as when sending
stdin/stdout. A little cleaner & more efficient.
1.5 Tue Mar 30 13:33:55 PST 1999
- Re-wrote the test scripts to be more reliable.
- Added a FAQ file.
1.4 Mon Mar 29 03:54:39 PST 1999
- Converted C++ style comments to /**/. Should help compilation
- Added CGI::SpeedyCGI::set_shutdown_handler to allow the perl
program to set a callback for when perl is shut down.
- Added t/shutdown.t to test the new set_shutdown_handler feature.
- queue.c wouldn't compile as-is on Solaris Devpro-4.2. Changed
the void*'s to char*'s so the compiler could do pointer arithmetic.
