* History of changes for the Motsognir gopher server *
v1.0.8.1 [22 Apr 2016]
- Added a workaround for buggy gopher+ clients that request a gopher+ root menu.
v1.0.8 [06 Feb 2016]
- Fixed execution of PHP scripts used as sub-gophermaps,
- Sub-gophermap CGI scripts are executed regardless of their extension,
- Dynamic gophermaps can output partial gophermap lines now (Motsognir will fill in lacking data like for normal gophermaps),
- Added the PubDirList configuration list to allow serving content from outside the gopher root (typically via symlinks),
- CGI/PHP scripts are executed whith their working directory set to either where the script is, or where the parent gophermap is (if called as an inline subgophermap).
v1.0.7 [12 Jul 2015]
- Support for secondary parameters passed to CGI scripts (when both a search string AND a '?' URL is used),
- Added a configurable secondary query-delimiter character (SecUrlDelim),
- New CAPS token: 'ServerDefaultEncoding',
- Implemented a configurable 'Paranoid mode' for serving only world-readable files,
- Fixed a slight memory leak,
- Significantly improved performances when reading data from CGI.
v1.0.6 [11 Nov 2014]
- Support for custom file mapping (extension to gopher filetype),
- Serving gopher content from users directories, using the '/~username/' URL scheme (configurable),
- Motsognir simulates a 'not found' message whenever a client tries to explicitely fetch a gophermap file,
- Added support for sub-gophermap scripts,
- Default location for the configuration file can be #defined at compile time (-DCONFIGFILE=/etc/motsognir.conf),
- Updated the FreeBSD port files, kindly contributed by kaltheat.
v1.0.5 [05 Oct 2014]
- Sanitizing the environment before calling a CGI/PHP child (contributed by Matt Lewandowsky),
- Fixed the $HOME, $USER and $USERNAME environment variable when dropping root privileges (contributed by Matt Lewandowsky),
- Added support for setting a custom http error file (HttpErrFile),
- When logging IP addresses, IPv4 addresses are logged as 'normal' (short) addresses instead of IPV6MAPPED addresses,
- The 'GopherHostname' setting is not mandatory anymore. If missing, local server's IP will be used automatically,
- Support for custom IP binding (allows to use multiple gopher instances on a single server).
v1.0.4 [15 Mar 2014]
- Server-side params are passed to dynamic gophermaps (CGI, PHP) now,
- Dynamic gophermaps (CGI, PHP) can be used as a global (server-wide) gophermap.
v1.0.3 [06 Oct 2013]
- Fixed HTTP answers to be sent without resetting the connection afterwards,
- Added an optimization that sends \r\n trailers within the same packet than the content line,
- Fixed the detection of CGI scripts exit status,
- Fixed fetching of the IP address of the client (was failing on IPv6 addresses),
- Fixed a bug causing Motsognir to listen on IPv6 only on some systems (namely FreeBSD),
- Added a few missing #includes to make Motsognir compile without complaining on FreeBSD,
- Added a short (10s) timeout for request receiving duration.
v1.0.2 [30 Sep 2013]
- A failure at percent decoding of the query is aborting any further processing,
- Added error logs when active content (CGI or PHP) fails with a non-zero return code,
- Using a much bigger disk read buffer when serving a binary file (1M instead of 1K),
- Adapted the init.d script to be more generic (was only working on Debian, should be good on most Linux distros now).
v1.0.1 [28 Sep 2013]
- Daemonizing in a slightly cleaner way (changing working dir to / and calling setsid()),
- Fixed encoding of UTF-8 characters in URLs (some characters were becoming corrupted after the URL encoding),
- Added a configuration option to make Motsognir drop root privileges and switch to another user,
- Added chroot support,
- Fixed detection of file's extensions on filenames with several dots.
v1.0 [24 Sep 2013]
- The whole code base has been rewritten from FreeBASIC to ANSI C,
- Moved to a standalone server architecture with its own listening service (instead of relying on an inetd-like superserver),
- Dropped Windows support,
- Removed the authentication feature,
- Removed the 'gopherlinks files' feature,
- Removed the 'descript.ion metadata' feature,
- Moved default configuration from /etc/motsognir.cfg to /etc/motsognir.conf,
- Added command line parameter --config to specify a configuration in a custom location,
- Added a file listing directive to gophermaps, allowing to show a dynamic list of files from within a gophermap,
- Added PHP support,
- Added a 'default gophermap' feature allowing to customize the look of an entire server with a global gophermap.
v0.99.2 [06 Aug 2013]
- Added support for recursive paths in gophermaps (like "../../directory/").
v0.99.1 [11 Sep 2010]
- Added support for caps.txt data (see the configuration file for more infos).
v0.99 [08 Jul 2010]
- Motsognir has been forked from the gopher module of the Grumpy server,
- Added support for UTF-8 filenames,
- Implemented percent-encoding compliancy for URLs passed to the server,
- Added support for very big files, up to 8EiB (was: max 2 GiB),
- Fixed a minor file-locking bug (gophermap handles weren't released properly),
- Fixed directory entries sorting (gopherlinks weren't sorted correctly in the list),
- Implemented a HTTP requests detector (responds to any HTTP request by a HTTP error code),
- Added more logging verbosity.
