46 * fix the misleading example in the manpage: macros may not be reserved words
49 ## 2021/07/10 - 1.7 “Space-dye Vest”
51 Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
55 * initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
56 * added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
57 * new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.
58 * new ‘env’ rule to define environment vars for CGI scripts.
59 * new ‘alias’ rule to define hostname aliases for a server.
60 * allow ‘root’ to be specified per-location block.
61 * pidfile support with the new ‘-P’ cli flag.
62 * define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
66 * remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.
67 * print the datetime when logging to stderr.
68 * use ‘text/x-patch’ for ‘.patch’ and ‘.diff’ files.
69 * sort the auto index alphabetically.
70 * various improvements to the log management.
71 * drop the dependency on lex.
72 * added ‘--help’ as synonym of ‘-h’ and ‘-V’/‘--version‘ to print the version.
73 * 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.
77 * correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
78 * fixed the static target.
79 * fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
80 * logs sent to syslog now have proper priority (before every message ended up as LOG_CRIT). Found by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
81 * ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
82 * fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
83 * document the ‘log’ rule.
84 * 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!
85 * various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
86 * added a timeout to the regression tests.
90 * if duplicate rules are found in the configuration file, an error is now raised instead of silently using only the last value.
91 * (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
92 * (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.
