Germinal is a Gemini protocol server written in Common Lisp.

I'm pleased to announce the 1.0.0 release of Germinal.

New in this release:

Support for routing URLs to arbitrary handlers defined in Common Lisp.* Support for middleware defined in Common Lisp. The default middleware configuration now includes simple logging.* Simpler deployment with Roswell.* Numerous bug fixes and code improvements.

Incompatible changes:

Germinal no longer supports basic configuration from the command-line or a TOML config file. Because routing and middleware configuration is more complex, you are expected to configure your server in a Lisp startup script. A sample script is included.

Download and Issues

The git repo and canonical source for Germinal are athttps://git.carcosa.net/jmcbray/germinal/. There are also source tarballdownloads at gemini://carcosa.net/germinal/.

Thanks

I'd like to thank the contributors (my obscure project has contributors!Amazing!) who made this release possible: tobias, landakram, andMadEarl.
