+- update to 2.18.1 (r8379):

+  Bug fixes:

+  - geoip-lite-update: This tool reloads Apache, but the systemctl call added

+    in 2.18.0 for operating systems with systemd was incorrect.

+    This has been fixed and was the reason for this release.

+  - mod_mirrorbrain: Some obsolete configuration directives have been removed

+    (MirrorBrainGeoIPFile, MirrorBrainHandleDirectoryIndexLocally, MirrorBrainMetalinkHashesPathPrefix).

+    MirrorBrainGeoIPFile was also still present in the example configuration file. (issue 146)

+  - mb scan: an obsolete reference to a -f switch was removed that exists only in

+    the behind-the-scene scanner perl script, but not in mb scan. Thanks, Bart!

+

+- release 2.18.1 (r8365):

+  New features:

+  - mod_mirrorbrain: Nick Schermer from Xfce contributed a wonderful patch to

+    improve the HTML output for the details pages that MirrorBrain generates (see issue 123).

+    As a consequence, in some installations the web design needs to be adjusted,

+    but hopefully people will value the better possibilities. The full list of changes can be viewed here.

+

+  - mod_mirrorbrain: If multiple instances of MirrorBrain run in Apache

+    (or you have multiple vhosts using one MirrorBrain configuration),

+    you would have multiple DBDParams statements which prepare SQL statements when Apache starts processes.

+    Peculiarly, Apache doesn’t allow the same connection string used more than once.

+    (To make the connection strings unique, a possible workaround is to use differing connect_timeout values.)

+    Anyhow, to help users running into this problem, MirrorBrain used to log a warning (added in 2009).

+    This warning was removed when the DBD error handling was reworked in 2.16.1 (2012).

+    It replaced with much more detailed error logging, but the helpful one-liner was missing hence.

+    This release re-adds the helpful one-liner, and it’ll also show the workaround at the same time.

+    In addition, the documentation was enhanced. Thanks Stephan Jauernick.

+  - The installation documentation was updated in many places.

+  - mb: new command line option for configuration file path. Patch kindly provided by Gökdeniz Karadağ (see also issue 114)

+  - mb update: The geoiplookup and geoiplookup_city binaries are now also looked for in /usr/share/mirrorbrain. Helps to solve the packaging cleanup issue 110.

+  - geoip-lite-update: It is now possible to run this script without reloading Apache.

+    On the other hand, it can now reload Apache on openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and via systemd. Thanks Andrea Veri for the report.

+  - The create_timestamp script no longer contains openSUSE specifics. Usage:

+  - create_timestamp [username:groupname] timestampfile1 [timestampfile2...]

+  - geoiplookup_city and geoiplookup_continent tools: The path to the GeoIP database files is now 

+    configurable at compile time, so distribution builders could use preprocessor definitions to

+    define them instead of patching the code. Patch by Dagobert Michelsen. Thanks! (issue 130)

+  - mirrorprobe: in the --help output, display the default value for the network timeout (20 seconds)

+

+Bug fixes:

+  - There’s a version table in the database since recently (created since 2.17.0),

+    but it didn’t contain an id column as primary key, so SQLObject couldn’t work with it.

+    So now we add an id column as primary key to the table (and an existing table from 2.17.0 is migrated by simply recreating it from scratch).

+  - The database SQL scheme for new installations has been updated to add the new column named ipv6_only.

+    Thanks George Koutras, Raphael Hertzog and others for the report (and for their patience)! (issue 119)

+  - The SQL schema was updated to remove obsolete quotes around language names on function declarations: 'plpgsql' -> plpgsql; 'SQL' -> SQL.

+    PostgreSQL 9.2 and newer no longer ignore these wrong quotes.

+  - mod_mirrorbrain: Compiler warnings about using %d for size_t were silenced,

+    by now using APR_SIZE_T_FMT where appropriate. (issue 82)

+  - mb / mirrorbrain.conf: Trailing(!) spaces in passwords were taken literally so far,

+    but were very hard to see and hard to debug. Now, trailing spaces are rightfully ignored (issue 112).

+    Thanks to patch from Pat Riehecky!

+  - mb now gives sane error messages when a config statement is missing/misspelled in /etc/mirrorbrain.conf.

+  - mb: when mod_asn is not installed, an additional ProgrammingError exception from the sqlobject.dberrors can occur.

+    This is now also caught. Thanks Gökdeniz very much for the patch!

+  - mb makehashes: “permission denied” errors are now handled gracefully,

+    fixing issue 105. Thanks Tom Albers for report & patch!

+  - metalink-hasher.py: This very old (backward) compatibility wrapper has been removed from the tools directory,

+    since it is long obsolete.

+  - mb iplookup: On the Solaris/OpenCSW platform, using socket.getaddrinfo() in Python for DNS lookups

+    doesn’t work with port 0. Using None instead seems to be more correct and hopefully work on all platforms.

+    Thanks Dagobert for the fix! (issue 135)

+  - mb edit: A mistyped dash in the commands help output was fixed. Thanks Dago! (issue 136)

+  - mb update: This command now handles errors that lead to Null as prefix or Null as AS number,

+    so the command doesn’t crash anymore under these conditions. (issue 137)

+  - mb dirs: When using the -d or --missing option, only enabled mirrors are shown now. Thanks Florian! (issue 116)

+  - tools/geoiplookup_*: They no longer segfault when opening a GeoIP database database fails.

+    Patch courtesy of Dagobert Michelsen. (issue 138)

+  - mb scan:

+        When FTP URLs are not correct, and the directory is not found on an FTP server,

+        the scanner bailed out. Fixed with patch from Dago. (issue 139)

+        when in verbose mode, don’t wrongly log symlinks as directories (issue 141)

+  - The file mb/countries.py was never used; remove it so it doesn’t confuse anyone. Thanks Gokdeniz for the hint.

+  - The build on openSUSE 13.1 was fixed.

+  - The build on RHEL6 was fixed, with a patch courtesy of jcpunk. (issue 125)
