CHANGE HISTORY
==============

2001-02-21 THIS UPDATE IS ENCOURAGED!
           Included some changes which allow you to use Improved mod_frontpage
           as a true DSO module. Thanks to Adrian Hosey and Suso Banderas from
           Kiva Networking for their work!
           Changed the "tar zxf file.tar.gz" commands in the documentation to
           "gzip -dc file.tar.gz | tar xf -". This should work on nearly all
           UNIX platforms.

2001-02-09 Updated Improved mod_frontpage to work with Apache 1.3.17.
           Changed configure switches for including Improved mod_frontpage: now
           you must use "--enable-module=frontpage" instead of the old
           "--activate-module=src/modules/frontpage/mod_frontpage.o".
           Checked my patch with mod_ssl version 2.8.0 for Apache 1.3.17: no
           problems found.

2000-10-18 Fixed a bug that prevented Improved mod_frontpage to be compiled as
           static module. Thanks to Ian R. Justman for reporting and fixing the
           bug. :-)
           Updated the INSTALL.APACHE+FRONTPAGE+MOD_SSL+PHP4+PHP3 documentation.

2000-10-17 Updated Improved mod_frontpage to work with Apache 1.3.14.
           Corrected some errors in the documentation. If you had problems with
           previous releases of Improved mod_frontpage, please re-read the
           detailed Stap-By-Step Guide.
           Checked my patch with mod_ssl version 2.7.1 for Apache 1.3.14: no
           problems found.

2000-09-26 THIS UPDATE IS ENCOURAGED!
           Added support for setting the DocRoot and UserDir for fpEXEC (maybe
           you know this from suEXEC already). Simply use the "--fpexec-
           docroot" and "--fpexec-userdir" configure switches (thanks to Ian R.
           Justman for supplying his patch).
           Made some changes in the documentation (mostly typos). Thanks to Ken
           Yap for his input.
           Checked Improved mod_frontpage with Service Release 1.2 of the
           FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions: no problems found.
           Checked my patch with mod_ssl version 2.6.6 for Apache 1.3.12: no
           problems found.

2000-03-02 Made a minor change on the patch that should make installation more
           easy on systems where root's main group is not "root".
           Made heavy changes on the documentation. I have splitted the README
           into several files. I have added a quick installation guide in the
           INSTALL.QUICK file. The detailed step-by-step installation guide
           has also changed a lot; I have tried to prevent confusion on the
           different users/groups and included many hints on why something
           could go wrong.

2000-02-26 THIS UPDATE IS ENCOURAGED!
           Fixed security hole in fpexec.c.
           Updated mod_frontpage to work with Apache 1.3.12.
           Checked my patch with mod_ssl version 2.6.0 for Apache 1.3.12: no
           problems found.
           Changed some parts of the README to handle some frequently asked
           questions.

2000-02-17 I changed my patchfile a bit so that using it together with mod_ssl
           2.5.0 for Apache 1.3.11 will not fail anymore. I will add an
           article to the FAQ describing the installation procedure for an
           SSL-Frontpage-Apache soon.

2000-02-09 Fixed a bug that resulted in a compilation error when using the
           "--fpexec-umask" configure switch.

2000-02-08 Fixed a bug that caused Apaches configure to fail with an error if
           the "--fpexec-logfile" switch was used. Man, I hope this was the
           last bug for 1.3.11... :-(

2000-02-07 Added some sanity checks for combined configure switches. Setting
           "--suexec-caller" and "--fpexec-caller" to different values will
           result in a configure error. If "--server-uid" and "--fpexec-caller"
           do not match, configure will produce a warning message.
           Reviewed the INSTALL chapter of the README and tried to clear some
           things up there.

2000-02-06 Added configure-switches to get rid of editing fpexec.h with a text
           editor. These switches are only valid if mod_frontpage is activated
           with "--activate-module=/src/modules/frontpage/mod_frontpage.o".
           Changed this README a bit, especially the installation and features
           chapter. I have added a new FAQ chapter also to deal with special
           problems using or installing the FrontPage Server Extensions, but
           it is quite small by now. ;-)

2000-02-03 Fixed small bug that caused mod_frontpage to expect the fpexec stub
           to be in "/path/to/apache/sbin/fpexec", even if the configure
           switch "--sbindir=/path/to/apache/newsbin" was given.
           Changed some of the defaults in fpexec.h back to "normal" values:
           HTTPD_USER is now "nobody", UID_MIN is "100" and LOG_EXEC is now
           "/usr/local/apache/logs/fpexec_log".

2000-02-01 Made some changes to get this to work with Apache 1.3.11.
           Fixed the "make clean" bug.
           Added automatic installation of fpexec.
           Added step-by-step installation instructions in the README.
           Changed distribution-form of this module: now it consists only of
           the README file and a patch file called "mod_frontpage-
           apache_1.3.9_1.3.11-v1.0", where 1.0 is the version of this module.

1999-08-20 Typo in the patch cause compile errors. Boy do I feel dumb.
           Fixed some typos in README while I was at it.

1999-08-19 Updated the patch for Apache 1.3.9: use context diff, fool!
           Set the umask(2) to a minimum safe value before we exec(3).

1999-07-09 Fix a problem causing mod_frontpage to hang.
           Correct the module definition to match the documentation.

1999-06-22 Initial release.
