*** 1,62 ****
! 2008-06-20  Gustaf Neumann <ne...@wu...>
  
!         * remove direct access to interp->result in
!             - nscp/nscp.c
!             - nsd/tclloop.c
!             - nsd/tclshare.c
!             - nsproxy/nsproxylib.c
!         * initializing potentially uninitialized variables in
!              - nsproxy/nsproxylib.c
  
! 2008-05-13  Jeff Rogers <dv...@di...>
  
!         * configure.in: add -nostartfiles flag to link line when -shared
! 		is already there.  Without this, build fails against tcl8.5
! 		* configure: regenerated
  
! 2007-05-11  Nathan Folkman <nat...@gm...>
  
!         * nsproxy/nsproxylib.c: Fixed crash bug that occurred when trying
!         to create more then one proxy pool. The proxy id now takes the 
!         form of:
  
!         <pool>-proxy-<number>
  
! 2007-03-12  Nathan Folkman <nat...@gm...>
  
!         * nsd/tclhttp.c: Added preliminary support to allow sending and
!         retrieving binary data correctly.
  
! 2006-12-15  Dossy Shiobara <do...@pa...>
  
! 	* nsd/driver.c (1.56): [BUG #1615787] Fix deadlock bug when driver
! 	  thread stalls under specific conditions.  Thanks to Jeff Rogers
! 	  and Gustaf Neumann.
  
! 2006-08-07  Dossy Shiobara <do...@pa...>
  
! 	* include/nsattributes.h (1.4): Provide default no-op defines for
! 	  gcc attributes correctly to enable builds on older gcc to work.
! 	  Previously, "may_alias" attribute resulted in gcc older than 3.3
! 	  to no longer build.  This minor change fixes this.
  
! 2006-07-07  Jim Davidson <jgd...@oo...>
  
  	* include/ns.h:
! 	* nsd/return.c: Added Ns_RegisterRedirect as a replacement
! 	to Ns_RegisterReturn which did not require a virtual server
! 	argument as expected.
  
  	* nsd/server.c: Updated to call new Ns_RegisterRedirect,
! 	fixing bug #1518426
  
  	* doc/Ns_ConnReturnStatus.3: Updated to document the new
! 	Ns_RegisterRedirect, removing reference to Ns_RegisterReturn.
! 
  
! 2006-06-28  Nathan Folkman <nat...@gm...>
  
!         * nsd/adpeval.c: Fixed crash bug in NsAdpLogError() when 
!         a NULL adp->framePtr is encountered.

! 	* nsd/nsd.h:
! 	* nsd/pools.c:
! 	* nsd/queue.c:
! 	* tcl/pools.tcl:
!           New configure parameter "spread" for ns_pools:    
! 	
!           Background: Requests are distributed to idle threads via
! 	  CondSignal, which delivers subsequent signals to idle
! 	  threads in a circular manner (i.e. t1, t2, .. tn, then t1
! 	  again) determined by the scheduling policy of the operating
! 	  system. This round robin behavior has the disadvantage that
! 	  multiple threads terminate about at the same time, based on
! 	  the maxconnections (or maxconns) value. The idle timeout
! 	  will never be used on a sufficiently busy server.  
  
!           The mass termination of threads is performance-wise bad,
! 	  especially when many connections threads are configured,
! 	  since it is likely that about the same amount of threads
! 	  will be recreated.  The "spread" parameter introduces a
! 	  random factor into threadtimeout and maxconnections to avoid
! 	  these termination cycles.  It adds +/- the specified
! 	  percentage to maxconnections and threadtimeout (e.g. a
! 	  spread of 20 means a random value between 0.80 to 1.20 of
! 	  the specified value of maxconnections and threadtimeout for
! 	  every connection thread).

! 
! 	* nsd/tclfile.c:
! 	  Adding missing variable declaration

! 	  TMP directory. 
! 
! 2008-03-22 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/fd.c: Fix for Mac OS X Leopard: setrlimit with
! 	  RLIM_INFINITY fails and causes Ns_Log to crash (fix was
! 	  sketched by David Caruso on the aolserver mailing list on
! 	  Jan 10, 2008)
! 
! 2008-01-24 Dossy Shiobara   <do...@pa...>
! 
! 	* nscgi/nscgi.c: Added Tcl command "ns_register_cgi" which
! 	  effectively does the same as "ns_param map" at startup, as
! 	  it takes the same argument, the map string. Also,
! 	  REQUEST_URI is now properly set in the env. for CGI
! 	  executables.
! 
! 	* nscgi/nscgi.c: Backported nscgi.c rev 1.33 change to
! 	  aolserver_v40_bp branch.
!

! 	  aolserver_v40_bp branch.
! 
! 	* nscgi/nscgi.c: Oops, REQUEST_URI should have only been the
! 	  Request-URI, not including the query string.
! 
! 	* nscgi/nscgi.c:
! 	  Untabified source, no code changes. 
! 
! ?DOC?
! 
! 2007-10-26 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/nsd.h:
! 	* nsd/pools.c:
! 	* nsd/queue.c: Keep track of connection thread state. Two new
!  	  variables are introduced:
! 
!           - starting: keeps the number of currently 
! 	    starting threads  
!           - waiting: the number of threads in the cond waiting state
! 
! 	  These variables help to get a more precise understanding and
! 	  allow for better knowledge for thread creation (especially
! 	  under heavy load)
! 
! 2007-10-22 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/queue.c: Remove old code for allowing to run more than
! 	  maxconns requests in one thread (replaced by thread
! 	  creation); Maintain min-threads threads when threads are
! 	  exiting.
! 
! 2007-10-21 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/queue.c:
! 	  Protect poolptr condition by mutex 
! 
! 2007-10-20 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/nsd.h:
! 	* nsd/pools.c:
! 	* nsd/queue.c:
! 	  Continuing work on BUG #1615787; instead of performing in
! 	  boundary situations in the worst case more than the
! 	  configured maxconns requests, a new connection thread is
! 	  created automatically after the exit of a thread coming to
! 	  the end of it work cycle, when jobs are pending and no other
! 	  thread is able to process these.
! 
! 	* tcl/util.tcl:
! 	  using Tcl 8.4 string comparison operators 
! 
! 2007-10-19 Tom Jackson  rm...@us...
! 
! 	* nsd/queue.c: Previous versions of AOLserver included the
! 	  threadpool name in the name of the thread. This commit
! 	  simply adds back that making it easier to figure out what
! 	  threadpool was used for a request.
! 
! 2007-10-19 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/driver.c:
! 	* nsd/queue.c:
! 
! 	  Better fix for BUG #1615787 in aolserver 4.5. Although the
! 	  original fix apparently helped for www.openacs.org, it
! 	  appears to simply change the timing, but did not fix the
! 	  problem itself. The problem was that under limited resource
! 	  configurations (e.g. maxthreads 5, maxconnections 3) and
! 	  heavy traffic, incoming requests were queued but not
! 	  processed in new connection threads. The situation was
! 	  especially bad, when the number of queued requests was
! 	  larger than maxconnections, since after processing n
! 	  requests the server was idling with a high number of queued
! 	  requests. New requests were put to the end of the queue
! 	  while old (maybe already timed-out) requests are being
! 	  served. The server appeared to hang.  The current fix cares
! 	  for queued requests even when maxconns is exceeded. A maybe
! 	  better approach is to limit the number of queued requests or
! 	  to restart automatically threads when a thread exists due to
! 	  maxconns exceeded.
! 
! 2007-09-29 Gustaf Neumann  ne...@wu...
! 
! 	* nsd/conn.c:
! 	  Extend ns_conn by two commands:  
! 
!           - ns_conn channel: Return a Tcl channel from the current
!             connection. This channel can be used to talk via Tcl I/O
!             to the remote client afterwards. "ns_conn channel" was
!             originally written by Zoran.
! 
! 	  - ns_conn contentsentlength ?number?: Query or set the
! 	    number of octets sent to the client. This command can be
! 	    used in connection with "ns_conn channel" to adjust the
! 	    length entry in a log file in cases, the file was sent via
! 	    Tcl I/O.
! 
! 	* tcl/charsets.tcl:
! 	  fix unbraced expressions and old style comparisons 
! ?DOC?

! 
! 	* tcl/packages.tcl:
! 	  Modified log message to better conform to AOLserver standards. 
! 
! 2007-08-17 Michael Andrews  mic...@us...
! 
! 	* tcl/packages.tcl:
! 	  I changed the way this file works. It now reads the 
! 	  following from the server config:  
!  
!          ns_section "ns/server/${serverName}/packages"     
!             ns_param library /some/path/here     
!             ns_param library /some/path/here     
! 	    ns_param library /some/path/here     
!             ns_param library /some/path/here     
!             ns_param require packageNameHere     
! 	    ns_param require packageNameHere     
!             ns_param require packageNameHere  
! 
!         All "library" values are added to the ::auto_path All
! 	"require" values are executed by "ns_ictl package require" The
! 	"nsinit" and "nspostinit" procs are then run for each package.
! 	This allows you to specify packages to load at start up.  
! 
! ?DOC?
! 
! 2007-08-01 Michael Andrews  mic...@us...
! 
! 	* tcl/packages.tcl:
! 	  - Added License info 
!           - changed init commands to all lower case. 
! 
! 	* tcl/pools.tcl:
! 	  Added pools.tcl file to set default pool params from server 
! 	  config. 
! 
! 	* tcl/pools.tcl:
! 	  Changed caps in debug notice. 
! 
! 	* tcl/pools.tcl:
! 	  Changed debug to notice 
! 
! 	* tcl/pools.tcl:
! 	  Changed maxconns to maxconnections as it was in old 
! 	  AOLserver. 
! 
! 	* examples/config/base.tcl:
! 	  Changed maxconns to maxconnections to be backward compatible 
! 
! ?DOC?
! 
! 2007-06-13 Michael Andrews  mic...@us...
! 
! 	* examples/config/base.tcl:
! 	  Added nscp to the base.tcl (We need to redo the filesystem 
! 	  layout and configs for the out of the box install). 
! 
! 2007-05-11 Nathan Folkman <nat...@gm...>
! 
!         * nsproxy/nsproxylib.c: Fixed crash bug that occurred when
!           trying to create more then one proxy pool. The proxy id now
!           takes the form of:
! 
!           <pool>-proxy-<number>
! ?DOC?
! 
! 2007-05-08 Michael Andrews  mic...@us...
! 
! 	* tcl/init.tcl:
! 	  No longer adds $AOLSERVER/lib to the auto_path if it already 
! 	  exists. 
! 
! 	* tcl/packages.tcl:
! 	  Optimized the code. 
! 
! 	* tcl/packages.tcl:
! 	  removed hard return used for testing. 
! 
! 2007-05-07 Michael Andrews  mic...@us...
! 
! 	* tcl/packages.tcl:
! 	  Added packages.tcl: 
!           1) Reads config to set lib paths. 
!           2) Reads config to load packages using ns_ictl. 
!           3) Runs nsInit procs. 
!           4) Runs nsPostInit procs. 
! 
! 2007-03-12 Nathan Folkman <nat...@gm...>
! 
! 	* nsd/tclhttp.c: Preliminary support added for getting and
! 	  retrieving binary data.
! 
! 2007-01-22 Tom Jackson  rm...@us...

! 	  with copy of obj 
! 
! 2006-12-15 Dossy Shiobara   <do...@pa...>
! 
! 	* nsd/driver.c: [BUG #1615787] Fix deadlock bug when driver

! 	  Rogers and Gustaf Neumann.
! 
! 2006-08-17 Bas Scheffers bas...@us...
!

! 	  it works properly with the system's umask.
! 
! 2006-08-08 Dossy Shiobara  <do...@pa...>
! 
! 	* include/nsattributes.h: Provide default no-op defines for
! 	  gcc attributes correctly to enable builds on older gcc to
! 	  work.  Previously, "may_alias" attribute resulted in gcc
! 	  older than 3.3 to no longer build.  This minor change fixes
! 	  this.
! 
! 2006-07-07 Jim Davidson   <jgd...@oo...>
  
  	* include/ns.h:
! 
! 	* nsd/return.c: Added Ns_RegisterRedirect as a replacement to

! 	  argument as expected.
  
  	* nsd/server.c: Updated to call new Ns_RegisterRedirect,
!   	  fixing bug #1518426
  
  	* doc/Ns_ConnReturnStatus.3: Updated to document the new
