8 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * install gg too: it's a simple gemini client ("gemini get") initially developed as part of the regression suite.
9 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * added OCSP stapling support (by @The-King-of-Toasters, thanks!)

14 de721c43 2022-01-30 op ### Improvements
16 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * reworked the fastcgi subsystem, now it's completely asynchronous.
17 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the internal of the server too.
18 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * refactored the regression suite (in particular reduced the timeout for single tests from 30 to 10 seconds.)
19 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * configure: add support for --prefix=... autoconf-style flag.
20 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!
21 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * relax the strict ordering of options, locations and proxy blocks inside a server block.

27 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!
28 de721c43 2022-01-30 op * (seccomp) allow ugetrlimit(2), needed by glibc on arm7l. By Max, thanks!

84 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.

103 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Bug fixes
105 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
106 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed the static target.
107 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
108 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!
109 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
110 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
111 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * document the ‘log’ rule.
112 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!
113 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
114 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * added a timeout to the regression tests.
116 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op ### Breaking changes
118 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.
119 21dc3794 2022-01-28 op * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
120 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.
