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.
```Example of how to verify the signature with signify
$ signify -C -p gmid-1.7.pub -x SHA256.sig
Signature Verified
gmid-1.7.pub: OK
gmid-1.7.4.tar.gz: OK
gmid-1.8.pub: OK
gmid.linux.aarch64: OK
gmid.linux.amd64: OK
```
## Change log for the last versions
1.7.4 “Space-dye Vest” fourth bugfix release — Released September 24, 2021
This version incudes the following bugfix:
* fix a possible out-of-bound access when handling a request for a non-existent file in the root directory of a vhost that's matched by the cgi option
and the relative regression test.
1.7.3 “Space-dye Vest” third bugfix release — Released September 19, 2021
### Improvements
* follows symlinks
* improved documentation and added key generation example (thanks! Anna)
### Bugfix
* fix syslog logging on FreeBSD. Reported by Karl Jeacle, thanks!
* don't crash if ``-c'' is missing in configtest mode (-n). Reported by heph, thanks!
* allow fstat64 on linux (needed by glibc on aarch64). Reported by pine, thanks!
1.7.2 “Space-dye Vest” second bugfix release — Released July 19, 2021
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.
