Jeff Marrison

October 22nd, 2018: v1.24
	string16.inc:
	string32.inc:
		Added string$from_unsigned_into to allow for stack-based
		string creation from unsigned integers (doesn't require a
		heap$alloc and subsequent free)
	url.inc:
		Added url$decode_path in addition to url$decode that
		leaves + signs in pathnames as it should.
	debug_macros.inc:
		Modified the register_debug macro to use the above stack

	hmac.inc:
		Added a dummy dependency-only function
	vdso.inc:

		Added an if used wrapper around vdso_gettimeofday so that
		programs that do not call gettimeofday don't parse/deal
		with VDSO.
	rng.inc:
		Added an alignment directive for the rng state and removed
		a dummy pad variable
	heap.inc:
		Removed reference to maps.inc/avlnode_size and fixed the
		value.

	fcgiclient.inc:
	rwasa/arguments.inc:
		Added support for fastcgi_direct option, along with
		X-Accel-Buffering header detection, and text/event-stream
		detection to allow for SSE FastCGI servers to play nice.
		This provides unmodified and unbuffered FastCGI output.
		(Well, unbuffered insofar as rwasa does not wait for the
		entire FastCGI response to arrive before transmission)
June 22nd, 2018: v1.22
	cleartext.inc:
		Added support for UTF8 literals in source, such as
		cleartext .utf8, '勝利のためのアセンブリ言語'

		Feature added (thanks to the latest HN attention), ctrl-b
		toggles the display of the buddy list.

		Added -backpath related no-response-modify for NodeJS.
	dataseg_macros.inc:
		A huge shout-out to Tomasz Grysztar (author of fasm itself)
		for modifying the globals macro functionality such that it
		now correctly applies conditionally (all binaries prior to
		this release contained _all_ global variables, now only if
		their corresponding code is actually used). Note that this
		also upped our fasm memory requirements (262144 is no
		longer sufficient to compile HeavyThing programs).
	xmlparser.inc:
		Added pull-style UTF8, UTF16, UTF32 forward and backward
		fast tag parser.
	vector.inc:
		Added simple 64bit resizable "vector" functionality.

	examples/libsodium:
		Added libsodium_compat example code for crypto_box_easy and
		crypto_box_open_easy.
	webserver.inc: (and rwasa indirectly)
		hahah, well, v1.18 FastCGI redirect fix had an unintended
		consequence of dropping Cookies from FastCGI when they were
		presented during a redirect. Reverted to similar pre-1.18
		code and kept the fix for the Fossil compressed redirect.
	maxmind.inc:
		Fixed memory leak in the destroy function.
	* version update to v1.19
August 30th, 2016: v1.18
	webserver.inc: (and rwasa indirectly)

June 12th, 2015: v1.11
	epoll.inc/rwasa/webslap:
		Fixed an interesting and fun logic error when dealing with

		turns out that it is possible to receive both in one fell-
		swoop, and with extremely high speed FastCGI handlers,
		even likely! Thanks to Petar Koretić for reporting this!
	examples/multicore_echo:
		Added another example of multiple process based TCP server.

May 28th, 2015: v1.10
	Been very busy doing client work, this release is mainly all about
	dhtool. Thanks to everyone for continued feedback, support, and
	constructive criticism.

	dhtool/dhtool.asm:
	dhtool/dhtool_settings.inc:
		Release dhtool Diffie-Hellman parameter generator/verifier
	webserver.inc:

		copied in the newly cloned version).
	formatter.inc:
		Fix small memory leak in formatter$destroy
	http1.inc:
		Incomplete initial version of httpheaders-based HTTP/1
		Handler.
	httpheaders.inc:
		Modified to include standalone init/cleanup

March 26th, 2015: v1.09
	toplip/toplip.asm:
		Released toplip encryption utility.
	httpheaders.inc:
		Added support for HPACK, and UTF-conversion-free HTTP/{1,2}
		header handling (much faster than mimelike). (prep for HTTP2)
	ht.inc:
		Updated to include httpheaders.inc
	memfuncs.inc:
		Added memcpy_inline macro
	bigint.inc:
		Reworked symmetric word multiplies for a bit more speed
		(~5% improvement for smaller, less so for bigger)
	ht.inc:
	ht_defaults.inc:
	ht_data.inc:
		Added support for code preloading at init time and enabled by
		default.
	ht_defaults.inc:
		Added setting for rng_paranoid.

		Added config option to use movbe instead of bswap + separate
		mov instructions for Haswell or better CPUs, default=disabled.
	buffer.inc:
		Fixed bug in append_base64tobin_latin1
	aes.inc:
	bigint.inc:
	httpheaders.inc:
	md5.inc:
	pbkdf2.inc:
	png.inc:
	sha1.inc:
	sha2.inc:
	ssh.inc:
	tls.inc:
	X509.inc:
		Added use_movbe functionality (if you have Haswell or better,
		you should enable this).
	scrypt.inc:
		Added scrypt_iter to optionally specify a different PBKDF2
		iteration count other than the default of 1 specified by the
		scrypt spec.
	htcrypt.inc:
		Added 16 bytes for user variables (useful for holding a tweak
		for htxts), and a variable to hold the first unused index.

		Added notes atop re: cascaded AES256 and AES256 key grinding.

		Added option to disable cascaded AES256 by setting x=255.

		Added debug option to dump keys and sequence to stderr.
	htxts.inc:
		Modified to use htcrypt's x variable as the tweak encryption
		index rather than [0].

		Modified to treat x=255 separately for "vanilla" XTS-AES.
	list.inc:
		Added list$reverse_foreach_arg.
	rng.inc:
		Added support for rng_paranoid, which pulls from /dev/random
		instead of /dev/urandom at init.

		Modified rng$block to throw away 64 bits for every 3072 bits
		generated (to prevent a complete subsequence from being
		output by the function). This slowed down the function a bit
		but the end result is worth the penalty.

February 17th, 2015: v1.08
	ht_defaults.inc:
		Removed string_direct option

		Enabled epoll_multiple_accept by default

		in server mode (only when TCP_NODELAY is set)
	sha1.inc:
		Changed bswap order on transform entry
	rwasa/worker.inc:
		Eliminated TLS session cache hook when cpucount is one.
February 13th, 2015: v1.07:
	ht_defaults.inc:
		Added tls_server_rsa_blinding option, because as it turns out
		OpenSSL does not have it enabled by default. Enabling it in
		this library causes the expected overhead of blinding.
	X509.inc:
		Fixed memory leak in X509cert cleanup.

		Added support for PKCS9 object ids in certificates.

		Added fixed monty objects for **dmodq/p mod q/p

		Added extra bigints for rsaprivate operations
	tls.inc:
		Added handshake message type to tlsdebug output.

		Added conditional sections for tls_server_rsa_blinding option
		as mentioned above.
	bigint.inc:
		Added call to tlz for new_encoded (RSA private keys were
		being decoded with incorrect sizes resulting in all calcs
		being done with double the integer sizes for no reason).

		Added rsaprivate function
	ssh.inc:
		Removed unnecessary calls to tlz

February 11th, 2015: v1.06:
	The update for today as-planned, 1.05 was a critical-update.
	url.inc:
		Replaced unnecessary to_lower copies with inplace version.

		Placed conditional for string$replace of //

		Added an extra user variable.
	webserver.inc:
		Removed lazy calls to string$charat

		Moved webservercfg$mimetype calls from every response to hotlist

		Made Accept-Ranges header addition conditional (only sends it if
		the size of the resource is >512kb).
	tui_matrix.inc:
		Fixed the background colour for drawing. Thanks to Bart Grantham
		for reporting this.
	buffer.inc:
		Reverted part of buffer$reset_reserve from 1.05, wow, these 
		13 hour days are starting to take their toll, maybe time to take 
		a break.

February 11th, 2015: v1.05
	-- critical fix for small memory footprint machines:
	heap.inc:
		As it turns out, the mmap syscall when run with no VM/swap for the
		heap$init function does not return -1 on error, modified heap$init
		to be happier in memory-constrained devices. we require a successful
		call to mmap for 256MB of memory, then remap it back to the minimum
		so that it doesn't get relocated on us during normal operation.

	buffer.inc:
		Added buffer$reset_reserve
	
		Added buffer$append_rawstring_noreserve

		Updated buffer$append

	mimelike.inc:
		Modified setheader functions to avoid unnecessary find then inserts.

		Modified compose to deal with header construction a bit better, and
		eliminted redundant header composition
	maps.inc:
		Modified stringmap$erase to return (nonstandard/non-ABI compliant)
		rdx == topmost key, r8 == topmost value
	ht_defaults.inc:
		Added string_direct_compare option
	string{16,32}.inc:
		Added direct comparison and optioned memcmp{16,32} for string$compare
	url.inc:
		Messed with the flow in url$new

February 9th, 2015: v1.04
	WOW, due to all of the amazing and positive community feedback I have received
	I am proud to announce some pretty hefty changes I have been busy with through
	the entire day. Results include a near 20% speed boost for rwasa, hahaha, and
	it was already fast. Please keep the feedback coming! I can't fix things or
	make them faster without a comparative baseline.

	ht_defaults.inc:
		Added an option for whether to formatter$add_datetime does fractional
		sections or not (avoids string$from_double)
	webserver.inc:
		Eliminated unnecessary query string goods fixed by the change in 1.02.

		Replaced lazy string$split of request preface.
	
		Replaced many mimelike$setheaders with mimelike$addheader where we knew
		that the header did not previously exist (speed improvement).

		Moved the Last-Modified formatter to a static part of privmapped to
		avoid having to constantly turn the st_mtime into string format for
		static files.

		If no logging is configured, webserver$log doesn't bother with the
		logformat anymore. (Much to my surprise, a fair few people run their
		webserver logless -- e.g. where they point it to some backpath)
	webclient.inc:
		Replaced many mimelike$setheaders with mimelike$addheader where we knew
		that the header did not previously exist (speed improvement).
	fcgiclient.inc:
		Also eliminated unnecessary query string goods fixed by 1.02.
	epoll.inc:
		Cleaned up epoll$send, no functional differences.
	tls.inc:
		modified stack alignment for keycalc spots
	buffer.inc:
		modified buffer$append_string to avoid two passes over the input string
		for UTF8 conversion (speed increase at the expense of possible unnecessary
		buffer space)
	formatter.inc:
		Added support for the new config option formatter_datetime_fractional
		which is disabled by default (speed improvement).

		fixed a typo for 16 bit strings and a fasm label
	url.inc:
		fixed a typo for 16 bit strings and a size prefix
	mimelike.inc:
		Added mimelike$addheader_* variants (speed improvement when you know the
		header does not already exist)
	privmapped.inc:
		Added webserver-dependent mtimestr. (See comments above re: webserver.inc)
	webslap/worker.inc:
		For very high requests/sec, modified the parent process notifier to use
		a timer instead of sending atomically one at a time via the socketpair.

		Added profiling support similar to rwasa, requires -noui and -cpu 1
	webslap/master.inc:
		Modified to accommodate the aforementioned mod for worker.inc
	webslap/master_ui.inc:
		Updated version to 1.04
	webslap/webslap.asm:
		Updated version to 1.04
	rwasa/master.inc:
		Updated version to 1.04
	

February 8th, 2015: v1.03
	webslap/webslap_tlsmin:
		No sooner did 1.02 release come out, than a request arrived for a webslap
		version with tls_minimalist enabled, added.
	

February 8th, 2015: v1.02
	ht_defaults.inc:
		modified default of dh_bits from 4096 to 2048, as many people have pointed
		out that our default 4kbit is not common and should not be the default.
		modified default of dh_privatekey_size from 512 to 256 re: same.
	
		Added setting for tls_minimalist which disables all but non-DHE AES128-CBC
		with SHA1. Many production environments do not care about security, so we
		added this option to do the bare essentials.

	tls.inc:
		Added the compile-time conditionals to support the aforementioned
		tls_minimalist setting.

	webserver.inc:
	mimelike.inc:
	rwasa/arguments.inc:
		Client request for -backpath option, aka "upstream" handling, feature added.
		Note: Host header is not modified when passed to the backpath, X-Forwarded-*
		headers are added.
	rwasa/master.inc:
		Changed banner from 1.0 to 1.02

	rwasa/rwasa_tlsmin:
		Added a custom compiled binary for the tls_minimalist setting and a README
		re: same.

	url.inc:
		Fixed issue with query string encoding/decoding (affected webslap too)
		Thanks to Domingo Alvarez Duarte for finding this.

February 4th, 2015: v1.01 quick bugfix update
	rwasa/worker.inc:
		Deployment for initial release missed the correct version
	tls.inc:
		Fixed race condition for very-long-lived single TLS session in the cache

January 28th, 2015: Initial release
