<ChangeLog>
Release 4.0.33
--------------
* Fixed a compatibility problem in passenger-install-apache2-module with Ruby 1.8.
The language selection menu didn't work properly.
Release 4.0.32
--------------
* Fixed compatibility problems with old Ruby versions that didn't include RubyGems.
Release 4.0.31
--------------
* Introduced a new tool: `passenger-config restart-app`. With this command you
can initiate an application restart without touching restart.txt.
Unlike touching restart.txt, this tool initiates the restart immediately
instead of on the next request.
* Fixed some problems in process spawning and request handling.
* Fixed some problems with the handling of HTTP chunked transfer encoding
bodies. These problems only occurred in Ruby.
* Fixed the HelperAgent, upon shutdown, not correctly waiting 5 seconds until
all clients have disconnected. Fixes issue #884.
* Fixed compilation problems on FreeBSD.
* Fixed some C++ strict aliasing problems.
* Fixed some problems with spawning applications that print messages without
newline during startup. Fixes issue #1039.
* Fixed potential hangs on JRuby when Ctrl-C is used to shutdown the server.
Fixes issue #1035.
* When Phusion Passenger is installed through the Debian package,
passenger-install-apache2-module now checks whether the Apache
module package (libapache2-mod-passenger) is properly installed,
and installs it using apt-get if it's not installed. Fixes
issue #1031.
* The `passenger-status --show=xml` command no longer prints the non-XML
preamble, such as the version number and the time. Fixes issue #1037.
* The Ruby native extension check whether it's loaded against the right Ruby
version, to prevent problems when people upgrade Ruby without recompiling
their native extensions.
* Various other minor Debian packaging improvements.

<ChangeLog>
* Fixed wrong autogeneration of HTTP Date header. If the web app does
not supply a Date header, then Passenger will add one. Unfortunately
due to the use of the wrong format string, December 30 2013 is
formatted as December 30 2014. As a result, cookies that expire before
2014 would expire on December 30 2013 and December 31 2013. Details can
be found at [Github pull request 93](https://github.com/phusion/passenger/pull/93).
This issue only affects Phusion Passenger for Nginx and Phusion Passenger
Standalone, and does not affect Phusion Passenger for Apache.
You can work around this problem in your application by setting a
Date header. For example, in Rails you can do:
before_filter { response.date = Time.now.utc }
Many thanks to Jeff Michael Dean (zilkey) and many others for bringing this
to our attention and for providing workarounds and feedback.

Release 4.0.29
--------------
* Fixed a compilation problem on OS X Mavericks.
Release 4.0.28
--------------
* Introduced a workaround for a GCC 4.6 bug. This bug could cause Phusion
Passsenger to crash during startup. Affected operating systems include
Ubuntu 12.04 and Amazon Linux 2013.09.01, though not every machine with
this OS installed exhibits the problem. See issue #902.
* Improved Node.js support: the Sails framework is now supported.
* Improved Node.js support: the streams2 API is now supported.
* Introduced support for hooks, allowing users to easily extend Phusion
Passenger's behavior.
* Fixed a bug in the `passenger start -R` option. It was broken because of a
change introduced in 4.0.25.
* Fixed a bug in PassengerMaxInstancesPerApp. Fixes issue #1016.
* Fixed compilation problems on Solaris.
* Fixed an encoding problem in the Apache autodetection code. Fixes
issue #1026.
* The Debian packages no longer depend on libruby.
* Application stdout and stderr are now printed without normal
Phusion Passenger debugging information, making them easier to read.

* [Apache] Fixed a bug in the Apache module which could lock up the Apache
process or thread. This is a regression introduced in version 4.0.24.
* Node.js application processes now have friendly process titles.

<ChangeLog>
* Introduced the `PassengerBufferUpload` option for Apache. This option allows one
to disable upload buffering, e.g. in order to be able to track upload progress.
* [Nginx] The `HTTPS` variable is now set correctly for HTTPS connections, even
without setting `ssl on`. Fixes issue #401.
* [Standalone] It is now possible to listen on both a normal HTTP and an HTTPS port.
* [Enterprise] The `passenger-status` tool now displays rolling restart status.
