Fixes ancient bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=168784
filed by Christian Mock and worked on by Lucas Filipozzi.
- Store $ENV{PWD} as part of script name for HUP'ing (Russel Pettway)
- Allow PreFork and PreForkSimple to have child mark
explicitly as done the same as other server types via
the ->done(1) call. (Idea from Marc Martinec)
- After numerous requests, the CHLD SIGNAL is now
set to DEFAULT in the child process of PreFork and
PreForkSimple servers. This should allow grand child processes to
run without affecting the child process (or parent).
- Fix parent/child communication channel buffering issue (Matt Sergeant)
- Check for child's sock before closing with
child_communication enabled (Alexander Hlawenka)
- Documentation fix (Mark Morgan)
- Allow 'stream' option for syslog_logsock property (Daniel Matuschek)
- Fix syslog format vulnerability. (Carlos Velasco) This has
potential to break some log implementations that were
planning on ->log passing all of @_ to syslog. Now only the
first item from @_ is passed as the message.
- Allow for '-' in group names. (Corey Minyard)
- Prevent locking caused by interupt of flock (Dietmar Maurer [cpan #11693])
- Finally fix UID/GID bugs during daemonization. This is the
biggest bug winner. The new model Calls POSIX::setuid and
setgid and tests for success by checking the values of $<
and $( and not by checking the response of the setuid/setgid functions.
- Add CIDR style lookups for allow/deny using cidr_allow and
cidr_deny (Carsten Wolff)
- Allow for port configured in perl to not have to be arrayref.

- For RedHat 8.0 perl.req, avoid demanding that
perl(IO::Muliplex) and perl(IO::Socket::SSL)
rpms are installed just to use Net::Server.
0.85 Mar 06 18:00 2003
- Lower timeouts during tests (Anil Madhavapeddy)
- Add configure_hook to MultiType (Michael Alan Dorman)

- Add run_dequeue feature to Multiplex personality.
0.84 May 22 08:00 2002
- Safer peername check in get_client_info to
avoid crashing under certain conditions.
- Create noarch RPM since Net::Server is pure perl.
- Always chown log and pid files when started as root
but running as non-root.

- Kill children with a kill 15 rather than kill 2 -
Fixes on Tru64 UNIX (Marco Sbodio)
- Allow for SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM to be passed
as strings to proto (ie "/tmp/path/|SOCK_STREAM|unix") (Andrzej Filip)
- Backward compatibility fix for IO::Socket usage (Matt Sergeant)
- Avoid reopening STDIN and STDOUT in INET mode. (Bernard Quatermass)
0.83 Mar 26 15:33 2002
- Prevent race condition warning between accept on socket
and assigning client to STDIN
- Fix bug in Net::Server::Proto::UNIX which affected
older perls (<= 5.005)

warning if not root.
- Add parent/child communication code to PreFork.pm based off
code submitted by Vadim. Allows children to speak to parent.
- Improved accounting of child processes in PreFork.

that SSL client handle is blessed into correct class.
0.81 Nov 19 12:39 2001
- Fix Net::Server::Fork - Bug in forking server
once parent has reached max_servers caused.
slow infinite loop and no processing of connections.
- Some perldoc cleanups
- Don't require IO::Multiplex for base test.
0.80 Nov 14 09:30 2001
- Fix Net::Server::Multiplex::MUX::mux_eof
to pass a ref to the remaining data.
0.79 Oct 23 12:00 2001

to use this personality.

- Moved pre_server_close_hook inside server_close
- Various small cleanups
- Added no_close_by_child flag (see perldoc)
0.77 Aug 27 10:00
- Added dequeuing ability to Fork mode server.
- All Fork and PreFork modes now have dequeue ability.
0.76 Aug 24 11:16
- Added Net::Server::PreForkSimple
- Simpler PreFork server that only attempts to
maintain a constant number of child servers.
- Changed Net::Server::PreFork to subclass
off of Net::Server::PreForkSimple. No
functional changes.
- Fixed a bug in Net::Server::Daemonize::set_user.
- Fixed syntax bug on 5.005_03 in Proto's
0.75 Aug 23 10:49
- Both Net::Server::Fork and Net::Server::PreFork are
using safe signals via Net::Server::SIG.
- Net::Server::PreFork has new child management model.
NOTE: spare_servers is no longer used. It
has been replaced by min_spare_servers and
max_spare_servers. This is a major change.
The server will die if these parameters are
not properly set.
- operates better under high loads
- provides better clean up of waiting servers.
- more configurable.
- Read the perldoc for updates.
- Net::Server::Fork and Net::Server::PreFork HUP
properly again.
- t/Server_PreFork.t and t/Server_Fork.t execute
properly.
- Fix in Multiport accept with signals.
- Updated perldocs
0.73 Aug 21 17:06

WARNING: No longer defaults to nobody.nobody.
Defaults to currently running user and group.
- Various cleanups with file removal.
- All files to be removed are now chowned.
0.70 Aug 17 10:34 2001
- Added support for different protocols to Net::Server.

Included Net::Server::Proto::TCP,
Net::Server::Proto::UDP,
Net::Server::Proto::UNIX,
and experimental Net::Server::Proto::SSL.
TCP, UDP, and UNIX are fully tested.
- Added Net::Server::Daemonize.
- Allows for modular daemonization/forking routines.
- Allowed for configure to be called multiple times.
Configure method can be called at later times during
server startup. Arguments are cached. This allows
new protocols to add arguments without modification
to Net::Server base class.
- Updated perldocs.
No more protocol specific information in central perldoc.
More information on new protocol layout.
- Added t/UNIX_test.t
- Added examples/connection_test.pl
- UNIX, UDP, and TCP types are fully operational.

- Clean up signal processing in PreFork server
- Clean up child management in PreFork server
