||||
<p>Applets which had many changes since 1.7.x:
|
||||
<p>httpd:
|
||||

|
||||
<li>fix trivial bug (spotted by Alex Landau)
|
||||
<li>optional support for partial downloads
|
||||
<li>simplified CGI i/o loop (now it looks good to me)
|
||||
<li>small auth and IPv6 fixes (Kim B. Heino <Kim.Heino at bluegiga.com>)
|
||||
<li>support for proxying connection to other http server (by Alex Landau <landau_alex at yahoo.com>)
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>top:

||||

|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Code and data size in comparison with 1.7.3:<pre>
|
||||
Equivalent .config, i386 uclibc static builds:
