42 20fa7cde 2024-01-11 op * removed CGI support
43 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * gg now warns when the server doesn't use TLS' close_notify
44 707ec003 2024-01-10 op * deprecated the global `ipv6' and `port' settings in favour of the per-server `listen on` directive

61 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * removed OpenBSD' rc file because now is maintained in the ports tree

86 1a04137e 2022-03-27 op ## 2022/03/27 - 1.8.3 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
90 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.
93 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ## 2022/03/26 - 1.8.2 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
97 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".
99 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### New Features
101 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add a new block `type { ... }' to define mime types mapping.
103 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### Improvements

107 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add systemd-sysusers sample file in contrib/ (Nakaya)
108 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] allow fstatat64(2), llseek(2) and sigreturn(2), needed by glibc on armv7. (Tobias Berger)
109 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] tightens rules by allowing openat(2) only with the O_RDONLY flag.
112 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## 2022/02/10 - 1.8.1 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
114 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ### Bug fixes
116 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:
118 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.
120 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.
122 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## Improvements
124 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op All by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
126 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * don't skip unit tests when SKIP_RUNTIME_TEST is set
127 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * add `gg' to the regress target dependencies
128 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * fix the "implicit declaration of asprintf" warning
129 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * sync vim syntax
132 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ## 2022/01/30 - 1.8 “Lightbulb Sun”
134 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### New Features
136 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reverse proxying support: gmid now can relay gemini requests to other hosts.
137 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * install gg too: it's a simple gemini client ("gemini get") initially developed as part of the regression suite.
138 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * added OCSP stapling support (by @The-King-of-Toasters, thanks!)
139 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add gencert, a simple script to generate self-signed certs.
140 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add renew-certs, a script to automatically renew self-signed certs.
141 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * multiple -n partially dump the parsed configuration.
143 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Improvements
145 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reworked the fastcgi subsystem, now it's completely asynchronous.
146 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the internal of the server too.
147 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the regression suite (in particular reduced the timeout for single tests from 30 to 10 seconds.)
148 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * configure: add support for --prefix=... autoconf-style flag.
149 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!
150 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the strict ordering of options, locations and proxy blocks inside a server block.
152 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Bug fixes
154 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * don't pass through illegal replies from CGI scripts.
155 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * fix the "double slash" error in logs.
156 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!
157 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * (seccomp) allow ugetrlimit(2), needed by glibc on arm7l. By Max, thanks!

169 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version includes the following bugfix:
171 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
173 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
176 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/09/19 - 1.7.3 “Space-dye Vest” third bugfix release
178 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements

186 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * don't crash if ``-c'' is missing in configtest mode (-n). Reported by heph, thanks!
187 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * allow fstat64 on linux (needed by glibc on aarch64). Reported by pine, thanks!
190 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/19 - 1.7.2 “Space-dye Vest” second bugfix release
192 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version incudes the following bugfix:
194 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * an un-initialized field in the configless code path leads to a crash on the first request.
196 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
199 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/11 - 1.7.1 “Space-dye Vest” bugfix release

203 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix the misleading example in the manpage: macros may not be reserved words
206 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/10 - 1.7 “Space-dye Vest”
208 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
210 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### New features
212 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
213 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
214 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.
215 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘env’ rule to define environment vars for CGI scripts.

219 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
221 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements
223 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.

230 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.
232 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Bug fixes
234 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
235 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.
236 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
237 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!
238 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
239 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
240 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
241 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!

243 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
245 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
247 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.
248 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
249 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.
