36 20fa7cde 2024-01-11 op * removed CGI support
37 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * gg now warns when the server doesn't use TLS' close_notify

55 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * removed OpenBSD' rc file because now is maintained in the ports tree

80 1a04137e 2022-03-27 op ## 2022/03/27 - 1.8.3 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
84 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.
87 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ## 2022/03/26 - 1.8.2 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
91 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".
93 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### New Features
95 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add a new block `type { ... }' to define mime types mapping.
97 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### Improvements

100 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * configure script: allow to set MANDIR from cmdline (Allen Sobot)
101 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add systemd-sysusers sample file in contrib/ (Nakaya)
102 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] allow fstatat64(2), llseek(2) and sigreturn(2), needed by glibc on armv7. (Tobias Berger)
103 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] tightens rules by allowing openat(2) only with the O_RDONLY flag.
106 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## 2022/02/10 - 1.8.1 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
108 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ### Bug fixes
110 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:
112 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.
114 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.
116 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## Improvements
118 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op All by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
120 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * don't skip unit tests when SKIP_RUNTIME_TEST is set
121 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * add `gg' to the regress target dependencies
122 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * fix the "implicit declaration of asprintf" warning
123 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * sync vim syntax
126 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ## 2022/01/30 - 1.8 “Lightbulb Sun”
128 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### New Features
130 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reverse proxying support: gmid now can relay gemini requests to other hosts.
131 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * install gg too: it's a simple gemini client ("gemini get") initially developed as part of the regression suite.
132 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * added OCSP stapling support (by @The-King-of-Toasters, thanks!)
133 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add gencert, a simple script to generate self-signed certs.
134 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add renew-certs, a script to automatically renew self-signed certs.
135 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * multiple -n partially dump the parsed configuration.
137 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Improvements
139 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reworked the fastcgi subsystem, now it's completely asynchronous.
140 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the internal of the server too.
141 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the regression suite (in particular reduced the timeout for single tests from 30 to 10 seconds.)
142 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * configure: add support for --prefix=... autoconf-style flag.
143 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!
144 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the strict ordering of options, locations and proxy blocks inside a server block.
146 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Bug fixes
148 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * don't pass through illegal replies from CGI scripts.
149 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * fix the "double slash" error in logs.
150 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!
151 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * (seccomp) allow ugetrlimit(2), needed by glibc on arm7l. By Max, thanks!

163 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version includes the following bugfix:
165 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
167 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
170 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/09/19 - 1.7.3 “Space-dye Vest” third bugfix release
172 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements

181 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * allow fstat64 on linux (needed by glibc on aarch64). Reported by pine, thanks!
184 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/19 - 1.7.2 “Space-dye Vest” second bugfix release
186 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version incudes the following bugfix:
188 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * an un-initialized field in the configless code path leads to a crash on the first request.
190 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
193 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/11 - 1.7.1 “Space-dye Vest” bugfix release

197 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix the misleading example in the manpage: macros may not be reserved words
200 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/10 - 1.7 “Space-dye Vest”
202 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
204 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### New features
206 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
207 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
208 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.

213 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
215 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements
217 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.

224 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.
226 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Bug fixes
228 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
229 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.
230 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
231 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!
232 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
233 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
234 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
235 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!

237 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
239 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
241 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.
242 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
243 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.
