Pike 7.6.86 Release Notes

Changes in Pike 7.6.86

This document outlines the changes between Pike 7.6.66 and 7.6.86.

Added support for "100 Continue" to Protocols.HTTP.Server.
Fixed Keep alive issues in Protocols.HTTP.Server.
Fixed SSL.sslfile to ensure that a read callback gets a call if it's installed when there already is data in the internal read buffer.
Fixed Cache.cache to work without threads again.
Fixed a typo in Array.diff3 that in some rare cases caused it to merge a difference into a three-way equality.
Fixed a bug where reused local variables weren't cleared properly.
Fixed sorting order for huge characters.
The values returned by Thread.status is now available as constants in the Thread module.
Added peek() method to ADT.Heap and Priority_queue.
Fixed "file not open" error when performing multiple operations on a Filesystem.Tar file.
Fixed a rare PNG decoding issue.
Proper handling of NULL elements in Postgres.
Fix for potential SQL injection vulnerability in Postgres.
Added support for WSAECONNRESET in SSL on win32.

Fixed bug causing local variables to never be reused, which in turn leads to huge stack frames.
Fix to avoid the cleanup thread becoming garbage when the cache object is destructed.
Various UCS-2/SQLWCHAR related fixes in Odbc. Potentially fixes problems where wchar_t is 4 bytes (eg MacOS X).
More multiset gc fixes.
Fixed support for running dmalloc Pike with -d.
