7 195f32d3 2022-12-02 op * manpage fix: QUERY_STRING is *not* urldecoded
8 195f32d3 2022-12-02 op * fixed use-after-free in the fastcgi code
9 195f32d3 2022-12-02 op * when switching user also set the groups

12 195f32d3 2022-12-02 op ## 2022/11/01 - 1.8.5 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
14 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * removed OpenBSD' rc file because now is maintained in the ports tree
15 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * (hopefully) fix build on DragonflyBSD
16 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * call tzset(3) to fix times in logs
17 8295757f 2022-11-01 op * always send custom list of fcgi parameters (alex)
19 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op ## 2022/07/04 - 1.8.4 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
23 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * allow "@" and ":" in paths; spotted by freezr
24 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * URL-encode the file names in the directory index; reported by cage
26 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op ### Improvements
28 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * move the documentation about the config file in its own manual page: gmid.conf.5
29 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * improvements to the mime handling: fixed a memory leak and improve lookup speed.
30 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * log (with low priority) when gmid failed to open a file because of its permissions.

35 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * deprecated the `map' rule in favour of the new `types' block.
36 1f6de749 2022-07-04 op * the default list is not loaded anymore when `types' is used; except for the text/gemini to ".gmi"/".gemini" mappings.
39 1a04137e 2022-03-27 op ## 2022/03/27 - 1.8.3 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
43 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.
46 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ## 2022/03/26 - 1.8.2 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
50 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".
52 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### New Features
54 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add a new block `type { ... }' to define mime types mapping.
56 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op ### Improvements
58 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * use shell built-in `command' instead of which(1), prodded by cage and Allen Sobot.
59 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * configure script: allow to set MANDIR from cmdline (Allen Sobot)
60 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * add systemd-sysusers sample file in contrib/ (Nakaya)
61 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] allow fstatat64(2), llseek(2) and sigreturn(2), needed by glibc on armv7. (Tobias Berger)
62 62a46b03 2022-03-26 op * [linux/seccomp] tightens rules by allowing openat(2) only with the O_RDONLY flag.
65 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## 2022/02/10 - 1.8.1 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
69 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:
71 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.
73 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.
75 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## Improvements
77 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op All by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
79 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * don't skip unit tests when SKIP_RUNTIME_TEST is set
80 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * add `gg' to the regress target dependencies
81 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * fix the "implicit declaration of asprintf" warning
82 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * sync vim syntax
85 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ## 2022/01/30 - 1.8 “Lightbulb Sun”
87 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### New Features
89 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reverse proxying support: gmid now can relay gemini requests to other hosts.
90 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * install gg too: it's a simple gemini client ("gemini get") initially developed as part of the regression suite.
91 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * added OCSP stapling support (by @The-King-of-Toasters, thanks!)
92 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add gencert, a simple script to generate self-signed certs.
93 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add renew-certs, a script to automatically renew self-signed certs.
94 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * multiple -n partially dump the parsed configuration.
96 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Improvements
98 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reworked the fastcgi subsystem, now it's completely asynchronous.
99 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the internal of the server too.
100 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the regression suite (in particular reduced the timeout for single tests from 30 to 10 seconds.)
101 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * configure: add support for --prefix=... autoconf-style flag.
102 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!
103 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the strict ordering of options, locations and proxy blocks inside a server block.
105 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Bug fixes
107 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * don't pass through illegal replies from CGI scripts.
108 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * fix the "double slash" error in logs.
109 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!
110 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * (seccomp) allow ugetrlimit(2), needed by glibc on arm7l. By Max, thanks!

122 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version includes the following bugfix:
124 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
126 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
129 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/09/19 - 1.7.3 “Space-dye Vest” third bugfix release
131 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements

145 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version incudes the following bugfix:
147 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * an un-initialized field in the configless code path leads to a crash on the first request.
149 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.
152 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/11 - 1.7.1 “Space-dye Vest” bugfix release
154 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op This version includes two bugfixes:

156 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix the misleading example in the manpage: macros may not be reserved words
159 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ## 2021/07/10 - 1.7 “Space-dye Vest”
161 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
163 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### New features
165 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
166 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
167 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.
168 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘env’ rule to define environment vars for CGI scripts.
169 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘alias’ rule to define hostname aliases for a server.
170 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * allow ‘root’ to be specified per-location block.
171 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * pidfile support with the new ‘-P’ cli flag.
172 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
174 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements
176 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.

183 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.
185 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Bug fixes
187 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
188 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.
189 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
190 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!
191 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
192 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
193 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
194 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!

196 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
198 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
200 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.
201 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
202 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.
