This has + been corrected. + + + + Under certain conditions, the VCL compiler would carry on + after a syntax error instead of exiting after reporting the + error. This has been corrected. + + + + The manner in which the hash string is assembled has been + modified to reduce memory usage and memory-to-memory + copying. + + + + Before calling vcl_miss, Varnish + assembles a tentative request object for the backend request + which will usually follow. This object would be leaked if + vcl_miss returned anything else than + fetch. This has been corrected. + + + + The code necessary to handle an error + return from vcl_fetch and + vcl_deliver had inadvertantly been left + out. This has been corrected. + + + + Varnish no longer prints a spurious "child died" message + (the result of reaping the compiler process) after compiling a + new VCL configuration. + + + + Under some circumstances, due to an error in the workspace + management code, Varnish would lose the "tail" of a request, + i.e. the part of the request that has been received from the + client but not yet processed. The most obvious symptom of this + was that POST requests would work with some browsers but not + others, depending on details of the browser's HTTP + implementation. This has been corrected. + + + + On some platforms, due to incorrect assumptions in the CLI + code, the management process would crash while processing + commands received over the management port. This has been + corrected. + + + + + Build system + + + The top-level Makefile will now honor + $DESTDIR when creating the state + directory. + + + + The Debian and RedHat packages are now split into three + (main / lib / devel) as is customary. + + + + A number of compile-time and run-time portability issues + have been addressed. + + + + The autogen.sh script had workarounds + for problems with the GNU autotools on FreeBSD; these are no + longer needed and have been removed. + + + + The libcompat library has been + renamed to libvarnishcompat and is now + dynamic rather than static. This simplifies the build process + and resolves an issue with the Mac OS X linker. + -- 2.39.5
