Version 0.1.0 87.0 KiB Works with Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*, Thunderbird 1.0 - 3.0a1

This version is the best server yet. It adds the following.
* Sunbird Support
* Thunderbird Support
* Flock Support
* HEAD requests
* more MIMEs
* free watermelon
The watermelon is a favicon.ico I chose to spice up your site. Thunderbird uses port 6671 and Sunbird uses 6672 by default. Flock uses 6670 like Firefox. I expect the users to find fun ways to use the calendar and mail programs now that they have servers running in them.

Version 0.0.9 84.0 KiB Works with Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

This is a quick security update that prevents a directory traversal. Those with older versions should update to 0.0.9 or password protect their sites.

Also new are url rewrite rules, loaded at startup time.

Version 0.0.7 72.0 KiB Works with Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

This version adds several post-related server variables, accepts uploaded files, adds a pow_info() function and adds a drop_database() function.

I fixed pow_file() and mime-types.

Please see the API at http://davidkellogg.com/wiki/Main_Page?origin=moz_pow2 for details about how SJS extends the Javascript you already know.

Version 0.0.6 72.0 KiB Works with Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

This version has two new features of note.

* Easy to see fireworks icon to tell you the server is on. It grays out when off.
* SQLite API added. This is an easy way to store persistent data.

I'm excited to add storage to the stack. Now we have Mozilla + POW + SQLite + SJS (MPSS). Not exactly as catchy as LAMP, but we're getting there in terms of a easy-to-use platform. Please upgrade to 2.0 for this feature.

Version 0.0.5 70.0 KiB Works with Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

This version deprecates all core SJS function names and variables. Core POW functions and variables must be prepended with "pow_". This is necessary due to too many interactions with other addons.

The maximum upload size is raised to 100GB.

A mime-type bug is fixed.

You can choose any directory for htdocs.

For those upgrading. Please erase htdocs/index.sjs and log/version_number, then restart Firefox. That will copy over the new index.sjs automatically.
