GeoIP Update Change Log ======================= 2.5.0 (2017-10-30) ------------------ * Replace use of strnlen() due to lack of universal availability. First reported by Bill Cole. GitHub issue #71. * Document the `LockFile` option in the `GeoIP.conf` man page. GitHub issue #64. * Remove unused base64 library. PR by Mikhail Teterin. GitHub PR #68. * Add the new configuration option `PreserveFileTimes`. If set, the downloaded files will get the same modification times as their original on the server. Default is `0` (unset). PR by Rainer Jung. GitHub PR #63. * Use the correct types when calling `curl_easy_setopt()`. This fixes warnings generated by libcurl's `typecheck-gcc.h`. PR by Michael Kaufmann. GitHub PR #61. * In `GeoIP.conf`, the `UserId` option was renamed to `AccountID` and the `ProductIds` option was renamed to `EditionIDs`. The old options will continue to work, but upgrading to the new names is recommended for forward compatibility. 2.4.0 (2017-05-25) ------------------ * `geoipupdate` now checks that the database directory is writable. If it is not, it reports the problem and aborts. * `geoipupdate` now acquires a lock when starting up to ensure only one instance may run at a time. A new option, `LockFile`, exists to set the file to use as a lock. By default, `LockFile` is the file `.geoipupdate.lock` in the database directory. * `geoipupdate` now prints out additional information from the server when a download request results in something other than HTTP status 2xx. This provides more information when the API does not respond with a database file. In conjunction with changes to the download service itself, errors such as lacking a subscription no longer show up with the message "not a valid gzip file". * ${datarootdir}/GeoIP is now created on `make install`. Reported by Antonios Karagiannis. GitHub #29. * Previously, a variable named `ERROR` was used. This caused issues building on Windows. Reported by Gisle Vanem. GitHub #36. 2.3.1 (2017-01-05) ------------------ * 2.3.0 was missing `GeoIP.conf.default`. This was added to the dist. * The directory creation of `$(sysconfdir)` added in 2.3.0 incorrectly ran if the directory already existed rather than if it did not exist. 2.3.0 (2017-01-04) ------------------ * `geoipupdate` now uses TCP keep-alive when compiled with cURL 7.25 or greater. * Previously, on an invalid gzip file, `geoipupdate` would output binary data to stderr. It now displays an appropriate error message. * Install README, ChangeLog, GeoIP.conf.default etc into docdir. PR by Philip Prindeville. GitHub #33. * `$(sysconfdir)` is now created if it doesn't exist. PR by Philip Prindeville. GitHub #33. * The sample config file is now usable. PR by Philip Prindeville. GitHub #33. 2.2.2 (2016-01-21) ------------------ * `geoipupdate` now calls `fsync` on the database directory after a `rename` to make it durable in the event of a crash. 2.2.1 (2015-02-25) ------------------ * Bump version number to correct PPA release issue. No other changes to the source distribution. 2.2.0 (2015-02-25) ------------------ * `geoipupdate` now verifies the MD5 of the new database before deploying it. If the database MD5 does not match the expected MD5, `geoipupdate` will exit with an error. * The copy of `base64.c` and `base64.h` was switched to a version under GPL 2+ to prevent a license conflict. * The `LICENSE` file was added to the distribution. * Several issues in the documentation were fixed. 2.1.0 (2014-11-06) ------------------ * Previously `geoipupdate` did not check the status code of an HTTP response. It will now check for an unexpected status code and exit with a warning if such a status is received. * The client now checks the return value of gz_close to ensure that the gzip stream was correctly decoded. GitHub PR #18. * The client now checks that the file was correctly opened. Previous versions used an incorrect check. 2.0.2 (2014-07-22) ------------------ * The client now uses a single TCP connection when possible. Previously the public IP address of a host could change across requests, causing the authentication to fail. Reported by Aman Gupta. GitHub issue #12 and #13. * `geoipupdate-pureperl.pl` was updated to work with GeoIP2. 2.0.1 (2014-05-02) ------------------ * Error handling was generally improved. `geoipupdate` will now return a 1 whenever an update fails. * Previously if one database failed to be updated, `geoipupdate` would not attempt to download the remaining databases. It now continues to the next database when a download fails. * Support for Mac OS X 10.6, which is missing the `getline` function, was added. * Unknown directives in the configuration file will now be logged. * The debugging output was improved and made more readable. * Several documentation errors and typos were fixed. 2.0.0 (2013-10-31) ------------------ * First stand-alone release.
