==================================
Changes from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 beta 1
==================================
Varnishd
--------
- Avoid sending an empty end-chunk when sending bodyless responsed.
- `http_resp_hdr_len` and `http_req_hdr_len` were set to too low
values leading to clients receiving `HTTP 400 Bad Request` errors.
The limit has been increased and the error code is now `HTTP 413
Request entity too large`.
- Objects with grace or keep set were mistakenly considered as
candidates for the transient storage. They now have their grace and
keep limited to limit the memory usage of the transient stevedore.
- If a request was restarted from `vcl_miss` or `vcl_pass` it would
crash. This has been fixed. `Bug #965`_.
- Only the first few clients waiting for an object from the backend
would be woken up when object arrived and this lead to some clients
getting stuck for a long time. This has now been fixed. `Bug #963`_.
- The `hash` and `client` directors would mistakenly retry fetching an
object from the same backend unless health probes were enabled.
This has been fixed and it will now retry a different backend.

.. _bug #963: http://varnish-cache.org/trac/ticket/963
VCL
---
- Request specific variables such as `client.*` and `server.*` are now
correctly marked as not available in `vcl_init` and `vcl_fini`.
- The VCL compiler would fault if two IP comparisons were done on the
same line. This now works correctly. `Bug #948`_.
.. _bug #948: http://varnish-cache.org/trac/ticket/948
varnishncsa
-----------
- Add support for logging arbitrary request and response headers.
- Fix crashes if `hitmiss` and `handling` have not yet been set.
- Avoid printing partial log lines if there is an error in a format
string.
- Report user specified format string errors better.
varnishlog
----------
- `varnishlog -r` now works correctly again and no longer opens the
shared log file of the running Varnish.
Other
-----
- Various documentation updates.
- Minor compilation fixes for newer compilers.
- A bug in the ESI entity replacement parser has been fixed. `Bug
#961`_.
- The ABI of vmods are now checked. This will require a rebuild of
all vmods against the new version of Varnish.
.. _bug #961: http://varnish-cache.org/trac/ticket/961

varnishadm

reason.
