The hash of the signify public key is also included in the SHA256 file and thus signed with my GPG. The signify public key for the next release ‘gmid-1.8.pub’ is also included.

134 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.

139 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
140 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.

144 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * pidfile support with the new ‘-P’ cli flag.
145 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
147 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op ### Improvements
149 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.
150 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * print the datetime when logging to stderr.
151 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * use ‘text/x-patch’ for ‘.patch’ and ‘.diff’ files.
152 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * sort the auto index alphabetically.
153 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * various improvements to the log management.

156 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 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.
158 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op ### Bug fixes
160 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
161 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * fixed the static target.
162 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
163 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * logs sent to syslog now have proper priority (before every message ended up as LOG_CRIT). Found by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
164 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
165 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
166 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
167 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 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!
168 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
169 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
171 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op ### Breaking changes
173 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * if duplicate rules are found in the configuration file, an error is now raised instead of silently using only the last value.
174 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
175 ae6870fa 2021-10-04 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.
