29 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * synced the parameters with RFC3875 (CGI)
30 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * gg: exit with the gemini response code unless it's 2X

32 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * (contrib/vim) added an ALE linter and updated the Vim syntax file; thanks Anna “CyberTailor”
34 707ec003 2024-01-10 op ### Breaking Changes
36 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * gg now warns when the server doesn't use TLS' close_notify
37 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * deprecated the global `ipv6' and `port' settings in favour of the per-server `listen on` directive

54 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * removed OpenBSD' rc file because now is maintained in the ports tree

79 1a04137e 2022-03-27 op ## 2022/03/27 - 1.8.3 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
83 1a04137e 2022-03-27 op * fix a possible out-of-bound access in the CGI handling. It was introduced last October during a refactoring, but due to how many malloc(3) implementations works this hasn't been found until now. Otto' malloc is more strict fortunately.
86 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ## 2022/03/26 - 1.8.2 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
90 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * fix a CGI timing issue: if a connection handled by a CGI scripts is interrupted with the right timing it causes the server process to exit with "fatal in client_by_id: invalid id X".
92 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### New Features
94 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add a new block `type { ... }' to define mime types mapping.
96 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### Improvements

99 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * configure script: allow to set MANDIR from cmdline (Allen Sobot)
100 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add systemd-sysusers sample file in contrib/ (Nakaya)
101 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] allow fstatat64(2), llseek(2) and sigreturn(2), needed by glibc on armv7. (Tobias Berger)
102 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] tightens rules by allowing openat(2) only with the O_RDONLY flag.
105 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## 2022/02/10 - 1.8.1 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
107 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ### Bug fixes
109 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * fix landlock usage on linux: don't assume that access capabilities not listed are implicitly denied, because they are not. Mickaël Salaün, the landlock author, found the same error on game of trees:
111 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op > In a nutshell, the ruleset's handled_access_fs is required for backward and forward compatibility (i.e. the kernel and user space may not know each other's supported restrictions), hence the need to be explicit about the denied-by-default access rights.
113 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op In practice this affects only linux and only partially: thanks to the design of the daemon and the seccomp filter the effects of this mistake in handling landlock are fortunately limited. However, in theory at least, gmid could be for e.g. tricked into truncating existing files, so it's highly suggested to update.
115 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## Improvements
117 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op All by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
119 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * don't skip unit tests when SKIP_RUNTIME_TEST is set
120 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * add `gg' to the regress target dependencies
121 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * fix the "implicit declaration of asprintf" warning
122 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * sync vim syntax
125 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ## 2022/01/30 - 1.8 “Lightbulb Sun”
127 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### New Features
129 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reverse proxying support: gmid now can relay gemini requests to other hosts.
130 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * install gg too: it's a simple gemini client ("gemini get") initially developed as part of the regression suite.
131 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * added OCSP stapling support (by @The-King-of-Toasters, thanks!)
132 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add gencert, a simple script to generate self-signed certs.
133 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add renew-certs, a script to automatically renew self-signed certs.
134 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * multiple -n partially dump the parsed configuration.
136 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Improvements
138 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reworked the fastcgi subsystem, now it's completely asynchronous.
139 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the internal of the server too.
140 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the regression suite (in particular reduced the timeout for single tests from 30 to 10 seconds.)
141 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * configure: add support for --prefix=... autoconf-style flag.
142 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the "wont proxy" check: don't check that the port in the request is the same we're listening on. Suggested and discussed with Allen Sobot, thanks!
143 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the strict ordering of options, locations and proxy blocks inside a server block.
145 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Bug fixes
147 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * don't pass through illegal replies from CGI scripts.
148 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * fix the "double slash" error in logs.
149 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * fix the configure for cross-compilation: don't run the test binaries just built. Suggested by Nikolay Korotkiy (@sikmir), thanks!
150 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * (seccomp) allow ugetrlimit(2), needed by glibc on arm7l. By Max, thanks!

162 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version includes the following bugfix:
164 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix a possible out-of-bound access when handling a request for a non-existent file in the root directory of a vhost that's matched by the cgi option
166 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
169 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/09/19 - 1.7.3 “Space-dye Vest” third bugfix release
171 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements

183 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/19 - 1.7.2 “Space-dye Vest” second bugfix release
185 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version incudes the following bugfix:
187 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * an un-initialized field in the configless code path leads to a crash on the first request.
189 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
192 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/11 - 1.7.1 “Space-dye Vest” bugfix release

196 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix the misleading example in the manpage: macros may not be reserved words
199 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/10 - 1.7 “Space-dye Vest”
201 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
203 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### New features
205 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
206 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
207 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.

212 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
214 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements
216 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.

223 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * c-like handling of strings in the configuration file: when two or more strings are next to each-others, are automatically joined into a single string. This is particularly useful with $-macros.
225 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Bug fixes
227 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
228 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.
229 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
230 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * logs sent to syslog now have proper priority (before every message ended up as LOG_CRIT). Found by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
231 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
232 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
233 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
234 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * the seccomp filter was reworked and now it's known to work properly on a vast range of architectures (to be more specific: all the architectures supported by alpine linux), see github issue #4. Prompted and tested by @begss, thanks!
235 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
236 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
238 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
240 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * if duplicate rules are found in the configuration file, an error is now raised instead of silently using only the last value.
241 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
242 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (notice) the “mime "mime-type" "extension"” rule was deprecated and replaced by the new “map "mime-type" to-ext "extension"”. The ‘mime’ rule will be removed in a future version because its syntax is incompatible with the new string auto-concat mechanism.
