GeoIP Update Change Log

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.
