A SHA256 file is available. However, that only checks for accidental corruption: you can use signify (SHA256.sig and the public key gmid-1.7.pub) or GPG. The hash of the signify public key is also included in the SHA256 file and thus signed with my GPG. The signify public key for the next release ‘gmid-1.8.pub’ is also included.

This version incudes the following bugfix:

an un-initialized field in the configless code path leads to a crash on the first request.

and the relative regression test.

1.7.1 “Space-dye Vest” bugfix release — Released July 11, 2021

This version includes two bugfixes:

use ${MAKE} to recursively call make.
fix the misleading example in the manpage: macros may not be reserved words

1.7 “Space-dye Vest” — Released July 10, 2021

Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.

New features

initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.
new ‘env’ rule to define environment vars for CGI scripts.
new ‘alias’ rule to define hostname aliases for a server.
allow ‘root’ to be specified per-location block.
pidfile support with the new ‘-P’ cli flag.
define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.

Improvements

remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.
print the datetime when logging to stderr.
use ‘text/x-patch’ for ‘.patch’ and ‘.diff’ files.
sort the auto index alphabetically.
various improvements to the log management.
drop the dependency on lex.
added ‘--help’ as synonym of ‘-h’ and ‘-V’/‘--version‘ to print the version.
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.

Bug fixes

correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
fixed the static target.
fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
logs sent to syslog now have proper priority (before every message ended up as LOG_CRIT). Found by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
document the ‘log’ rule.
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!
various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
added a timeout to the regression tests.

Breaking changes

if duplicate rules are found in the configuration file, an error is now raised instead of silently using only the last value.
(sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
(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.
