Dear Friends of NaviServer,
The release of NaviServer 4.99.7 attracted many people to
NaviServer, who found some bugs (some old, some new), serious
enough for a bug-fix release.
Below is the preliminary summary of the changes since the release
of 4.99.7. I've placed the release candidates to
sourceforge as 4.99.8a.
The plan is to release this version on the forthcoming weekend,
if nothing comes up.
all the best

Changes relative to 4.99.7
37 files changed, 672 insertions(+), 377 deletions(-)
New Features:
* ns_md5, ns_sha1: added binary support
When data passed to function, use Tcl byte-array operations instead
of string operations
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed bug reported by Wolfgang Winkler, when " ns_urldecode --" was
called (switched to regular argv parser)
* Fixed bug, when "ns_conn content" was called without content
potential race conditions on thread exits
* Fixed potential race conditions on thread exits
* ns_md5: md5-Code generation was broken
(probably since a long time, due to a mix up of somewhat tricky casts)
* Fixed warning in interaction between TCP_CORK and nsssl
* Fixed bug, where one thread frees a nsv-array, but an internal
representation of an Tcl_Obj for this array was still active in
another thread
* Fixed a bug with in https client commands (ns_ssl) when paths and
parameters
are passed.
* Fixed nsphp compilation (and "make php").
Many thanks to Branden Graves for feedback and testing.
Configuration Changes:
* Improved sample configuration for OpenACS and nsssl
* Improved Makefiles (reduce redundancy for CFLAGS)
* Improved rpath handling in configure.ac for Linux distros,
where TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS and TCL_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS are set
empty, like e.g.Debian
Command Line Changes:
Code Changes:
* Extended Regression Test:
- Added test set for ns_md5, compared results with other implementations
- Added binary regression test for ns_md5 and ns_sha1
- Added test set for ns_md5
- Improved robustness of tests for ns_parseargs
- Added tests for "ns_urldecode --"
- Added test set infrastrucure (nstest::https, server setup) and
test cases for nsssl
* Reduced implicit type conversions and other minor code cleanups
* Protect against potential buffer overruns
