3 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## 2022/02/10 - 1.8.1 “Lightbulb Sun” bugfix release
7 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:
9 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.
11 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.
13 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op ## Improvements
15 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op All by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
17 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * don't skip unit tests when SKIP_RUNTIME_TEST is set
18 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * add `gg' to the regress target dependencies
19 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * fix the "implicit declaration of asprintf" warning
20 c6ae2561 2022-02-10 op * sync vim syntax

25 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### New Features
27 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reverse proxying support: gmid now can relay gemini requests to other hosts.
28 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * install gg too: it's a simple gemini client ("gemini get") initially developed as part of the regression suite.
29 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * added OCSP stapling support (by @The-King-of-Toasters, thanks!)
30 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add gencert, a simple script to generate self-signed certs.
31 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * add renew-certs, a script to automatically renew self-signed certs.
32 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * multiple -n partially dump the parsed configuration.
34 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Improvements
36 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reworked the fastcgi subsystem, now it's completely asynchronous.
37 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the internal of the server too.
38 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the regression suite (in particular reduced the timeout for single tests from 30 to 10 seconds.)
39 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * configure: add support for --prefix=... autoconf-style flag.
40 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!
41 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the strict ordering of options, locations and proxy blocks inside a server block.
45 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * don't pass through illegal replies from CGI scripts.
46 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * fix the "double slash" error in logs.
47 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!
48 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * (seccomp) allow ugetrlimit(2), needed by glibc on arm7l. By Max, thanks!

64 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op and the relative regression test.

99 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
101 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### New features
103 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
104 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
105 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.

110 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
112 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Improvements
114 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.
115 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * print the datetime when logging to stderr.

123 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Bug fixes
125 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
126 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.
127 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
128 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!
129 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
130 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
131 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
132 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!
133 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
134 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
136 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
138 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.
139 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
140 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.
