Germinal update!

I would like to announce the release of version 0.2 of my Common Lisp
Gemini server, Germinal[1]. In this release:


	
Support for configuration by command-line or TOML config file.
	
Many, many bug fixes, many of which are thanks to Tobias Rautenkranz


The most important of these bug fixes is a fix to a path-traversal bug,
that could have allowed carefully constructed requests to read
world-readable files from outside your Germinal document root. (There
was code to catch path traversals before, but it was wrong, and only
caught simple cases). If you are running Germinal, you are *highly*
recommended to upgrade because of this bug. Also, write to me[2]; there
can't be more than a couple people running this, and until Tobias
started submitting pull requests, I thought I was the only one. 

=> /germinal/  [1] Germinal home page on Gemini.
=> mailto:jmcbray+germinal at carcosa.net    [2] Email me.

The source is hosted on my own gittea instance[3], and I'm happy to
accept patches either there, or by email (format with git-format-patch
and/or git-send-email).

If you are a smug Lisp weenie, please be gentle. I'm a Lisp newbie
whomst is trying to learn things by writing this.
