62 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
64 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements
66 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.

69 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * sort the auto index alphabetically.
70 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * various improvements to the log management.

73 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.

78 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.

80 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!
81 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
82 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
83 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
84 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!
85 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
86 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
88 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
90 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.
91 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
92 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.
