When in doubt, compile from source: its easy and takes less
than a minute on a raspberry pi 3. The dependencies are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>libevent</li>
<li>OpenSSL/LibreSSL</li>
<li>libtls (from either LibreSSL or LibreTLS)</li>
<li>yacc or GNU bison</li>
</ul>
<p>Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:</p>
<pre>$ curl -LO https://github.com/omar-polo/gmid/releases/download/1.7.5/gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz
$ cd gmid-1.7.5
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install # eventually</pre>
<p>
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.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://github.com/omar-polo/gmid/releases/download/1.7.5/SHA256">SHA256</a>
</li>

<p>To verify the signatures with signify(1)</p>
<pre>$ signify -C -p gmid-1.7.pub -x SHA256.sig

<p>1.7 “Space-dye Vest” — Released July 10, 2021</p>
<p>
Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore,
but yacc is still needed.
</p>
<h3>New Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>initial fastcgi support! (it&#8217;s still young!)</li>
<li>
added user-defined macros, either via <code>-Dname=val</code> or
directly in the configuration file.
</li>
<li>new <code>include</code> keyword to load additional configuration files.</li>
<li>new <code>env</code> rule to define environment vars for CGI scripts.</li>
<li>new <code>alias</code> rule to define hostname aliases for a server.</li>
<li>allow <code>root</code> to be specified per-location block.</li>
<li>pidfile support with the new <code>-P</code> cli flag.</li>
<li>
define <code>TLS_VERSION</code>, <code>TLS_CIPHER</code> and
<code>TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH</code> for CGI scripts.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Improvements</h3>
<ul>
<li>
remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location
blocks that can be defined.
</li>
<li>print the datetime when logging to stderr.</li>
<li>
use <code>text&#47;x-patch</code> for <code>.patch</code> and <code>.diff</code> files.
</li>
<li>sort the auto index alphabetically.</li>
<li>various improvements to the log management.</li>
<li>drop the dependency on lex.</li>
<li>
added <code>--help</code> as synonym of <code>-h</code> and
<code>-V</code>&#47;<code>--version</code> to print the version.
</li>
<li>
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 <code>$</code>-macros.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bug fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium
header length allowed.
</li>
<li>fixed the <code>static</code> target.</li>
<li>
fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create
<code>~&#47;.local&#47;share&#47;gmid</code>)
</li>
<li>
logs sent to syslog now have proper priority (before every
message ended up as LOG_CRIT). Found by Anna
&#8220;CyberTailor&#8221;, thanks!
</li>
<li>
ensure <code>%p</code> (path) is always absolute in
<code>block return</code> rules.
</li>
<li>
fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on
some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
</li>
<li>document the <code>log</code> rule.</li>
<li>
the seccomp filter was reworked and now it&#8217;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!
</li>
<li>
various improvements to the configure script, notified and
fixed by Anna &#8220;CyberTailor&#8221;, thanks!
</li>
<li>added a timeout to the regression tests.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Breaking changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
if duplicate rules are found in the configuration file, an
error is now raised instead of silently using only the last
value.
</li>
<li>
(sort of) <code>gg</code> moved to <code>regress</code> as
it's only used in the regression suite.
</li>
<li>
(notice) the <code>mime "mime-type" "extension"</code> rule was deprecated and
replaced by the new <code>map "mime-type" to-ext "extension"</code>. The
<code>mime</code> rule will be removed in a future version
because its syntax is incompatible with the new string
auto-concat mechanism.
</li>
</ul>
