Based on a PR by Jussi Sallinen.
1.6.9 2016-01-11
- Fix a regression introduced in version 1.6.8, which caused
GeoIP_database_info to erroneously return NULL.
1.6.8 2016-01-11
- Allow compilation on older systems by relaxing the autoconf and automake
minimum versions. Thank you, Jose Rubio!
- Avoid potential problems in multi-threaded environments by consistently using
pread() rather than read().
- Fix various small issues reported by clang's static analyser.
1.6.7 2015-10-30
- Fixed a MSVC parser stack overflow when parsing `regionName.c` and
`timeZone.c`. Fix by elliotlo. GitHub #64.
- Updated region codes and timezones.
- When using `GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE` with an invalid database file, the search
tree traversal could attempt to read memory outside of the memory allocated
for the memory cache, resulting in a segmentation fault. A check was added
to ensure that the traversal code does not try to read beyond the end of the
file, whether in memory, memory mapped, or on disk.
- Previously the return values from file reads were ignored. We now check
these values to ensure that there were no errors.
1.6.6 2015-07-28
- Replaced usage of deprecated fileno, read, and lseek on Visual Studio 2005+
with their ISO C++ conformant replacements.
- A warning about using a double as a float was fixed.
- Fixed segfault when doing a lookup on an empty database.
- Fixed a memcheck error from valgrind in the `_check_mtime`
function.
- Fixed `_check_mtime` to check the return value of `gettimeofday` rather than
just assuming it worked.
1.6.5 2015-02-25
- A segmentation fault in `geoiplookup` was fixed when the utility was passed
an invalid database.
- Additional validation was added for validation of the size used in the
creation of the index cache.
- Changed the code to only look up country codes by using functions which
ensure that we do not try to look past the end of an array.
1.6.4 2015-01-12
- Update Fips codes
- Several issues with the MinGW build were fixed.
- Use a constructor in pread.c to ensure the critical section is always
initialized.
- Added missing include of `io.h` on Windows.
- Fixed `configure` warning that `'missing' script is too old or missing`.
- Previously `nmake /f Makefile.vc clean` would fail on Windows. This was
fixed.
- Obsolete win32 and NetWare make files were removed.
- Numerous documentation updates.
1.6.3 2014-10-29
- Added a GEOIP_SILENCE flag. Include this flag when calling GeoIP_open to
prevent any messages from being written to stderr.
- Mitigate a possible race condition when running under threads in the
GeoIP_cleanup function.
- Added some recommendations to the docs on using this library in a
threaded application.
- Fixed some bugs discovered by coverity, including failure to check some
system call return values and making sure all strings are
null-terminated.
1.6.2 2014-07-08
- Two files required for building on Win32 were missing from the 1.6.1
release. These files were added. There are no changes affecting other
platforms.
1.6.1 2014-06-26
- Improve Win32 support
- Update FIPS codes
1.6.0 2013-10-29
- Remove geoipupdate
1.5.2 2013-10-29
- Update region and time zones
- Fix benchmark script
- Remove autogenerated files ltmain.sh, man/geoip*.1
- Explain how to download free geolite databases in the README.md and
GeoIP.conf.default
- geoipupdate returns 1 on error 0 on success instead of the error code
- README is replaced by README.md
- Add support for OS X Mavericks
1.5.1 2013-05-14
- Update time_zone for Ontario, Canada
- geoiplookup and geoiplookup6 exit code is 0 when user asked for help
- Added -h option to geoiplookup6
- Do not load the database file if nodes and file size do not make
sense.
- Keep README and man pages in pure ascii.
- It doesn't make sense to use GEOIP_INDEX_MODE with small databases
like GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION. Instead of undefined behaviour we handle
it silently as GEOIP_MEMORY_MODE
- Update FIPS codes for Greece
1.5.0 2013-02-21
- Rename custom_directory to GeoIP_custom_directory.
- Make sure the database match the requested type. This is helpful for
Databases with the same default name and the general geoiplookup form
(geoiplookup without a specific database)
- apps/geoiplookup6.c use the ipnum instead of the hostname for lookups.
- Use configure.ac instead of configure.in
- Region lookup is a bit faster
- Add pkg-config file
- Updates required to build a Windows DLL under MinGW
- Make API thread safe
- geoiplookup's default charset is UTF8
-l change the charset back to iso8859-1
- geoipupdate skips \r otherwise it might be part of the last
product_id
- Update time zones
- Update Region codes
- Remove the unused CITYCONFIDENCE* database types
- bootstrap rebuilds ltmain.sh
- Update README.OSX for Lion
- Change Macedonia to Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of
- Add region_name to geoiplookup GEOIP_CITY_EDITION_REV1
- Add region_name to geoiplookup GEOIP_CITY_EDITION_REV0
- Add a --disable-data-files option. This allows you to build and install
the library without having a data/GeoIP.dat file. This is useful when
building the library from a checkout of the source tree, rather than a
tarball
- Add GEOIP_ACCURACYRADIUS_EDITION and GEOIP_ACCURACYRADIUS_EDITION_V6
- Add more database types GEOIP_COUNTRYCONF_EDITION,
GEOIP_CITYCONF_EDITION, GEOIP_REGIONCONF_EDITION and
GEOIP_POSTALCONF_EDITION
- Fix default filenames for GEOIP_NETSPEED_EDITION_REV1 and
GEOIP_NETSPEED_EDITION_REV1_V6
Pkgsrc changes:
- Added TEST_TARGET.
[Relevant] changes since version 1.3.8:
=======================================

* Check if byte, ushort, ulong, u16, u32 are defined in configure
script. Fixes compilation issue on FreeBSD systems.

only refresh upon file change

* Fixed gcc warnings and bug. Use int
instead of char for checking the return value of getopt in geoipupdate.c.
Moved the internal functions to GeoIP_internal.h to get rid
of those 'implicit declaration' warnings. (Ludwig Nussel/SUSE)
* Cleaned up name space by prefixing internal functions with
_GeoIP* (Ludwig Nussel/SUSE)

lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

Closes PR pkg/23909.
GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP
address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database that is
accurate as of March 2002. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys,
and countries as values. It should be more complete and accurate than using
reverse DNS lookups.
This module can be used to automatically select the geographically closest
mirror, to analyze your web server logs to determine the countries of your
visitors, for credit card fraud detection, and for software export controls.
Package initially provided by Juan RP through pkgsrc-wip, with several
changes by me.
