Revision history for Perl extension SpeedyCGI.
2.11 Tue Mar 20 22:59:36 PST 2001
- When using the new Group option, exit was causing the whole
interpreter to exit.
- Fixed a bug introduced in 2.10 where mod_speedycgi could run
the wrong script
- Fixed a bug where mod_speedycgi could mix up the sh-bang options
between different scripts.
- Added automated mod_speedycgi testing.
- Added a workaround for a Solaris 2.5.1 bug that was causing the
mungefds and touch tests to fail.
- Added a new variable $CGI::SpeedyCGI::i_am_speedy for a quick way
to check if the script is running under speedycgi.
- New methods: add_shutdown_handler, shutdown_now, shutdown_next_time
2.10 Wed Jan 31 02:56:33 PST 2001
- Multiple scripts in one interpreter using the new Group option.
- Reduce speedy exec time by removing all extraneous shared-libs
- Make code smaller by adding ifdefs to separate frontend/backend code.
- Speedy frontend now dies on sigpipe if it gets epipe on fd 1 or 2
- The backend now always tracks the current directory of the frontend
- New "register_cleanup" method
- Build binaries for solaris and bsd ("make solpkg" and "make bsdpkg")
- Bug fixes:
- Changing mtime on a script could cause temp-file corruption
- After hitting maxruns, backend was not chdir'ing to the right
directory before exec'ing itself.
2.02 Sun Dec 17 21:43:02 PST 2000
- Bug fixes
- Memory leak in mod_speedycgi
- Zombie backends could appear to still be running
- Options in #! line were sometimes ignored
- Module is not being installed correctly on CPAN
- Fix for mod_speedycgi compile failure on solaris-8
- Default value for MaxRuns is now 500
- Experimental support for setuid scripts with -DIAMSUID
- Don't link the frontend with libperl
- New -v option displays the SpeedyCGI version
- Add ability to build binary rpms with "make rpm"
2.0.1 Sun Oct 22 19:53:24 PDT 2000
- Bug fixes:
- mod_speedycgi reports temp file is corrupt
- Switching from mod_perl to mod_speedycgi causes error
- Runaway file growth in FreeBSD 3.4
- Stranded sockets in /tmp
- Dead frontends are left stranded in invalid groups
- Cannot reliably detect temp-file removal
- MAP_FAILED not defined on HP-UX
- index() declaration compiler warning on Solaris

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.
