v1.27.0-pre2: Moenbryda Wilfsunnwyn

[Xe]

Anubis now supports running on Windows as a native service. To use it as a service, install the .msi from the release and follow the Windows directions. Currently Anubis supports Windows 10 / Windows Server 2016 and newer. Older versions of Windows currently not supported due to limits of the Go toolchain.

Please try the Windows release and give feedback! We want to make it as good as it can possibly be.

Note

This was attempted to be release as tag v1.27.0-pre1, but upon doing the release we discovered that our MSI packaging step did not handle the version number v1.27.0-pre1 cleanly. As such, it is suggested to ignore the tag v1.27.0-pre1.

• Bump AI-robots.txt to version 1.47.
• Add (data)/bots/lyrenth.yaml snippet that denies Lyrenth's AIWebIndex crawler and AIWebIndex-Agent on-demand fetcher by user agent and by their published IP ranges. This is imported by (data)/bots/_deny-pathological.yaml.
• Add a Windows MSI installer and wire Anubis to run as a Windows service. See the Windows docs for more information.
• Fix Windows MSI builds on prerelease tags such as v1.27.0-pre1.
• Allow Arquivo.pt, the Portuguese web archive, by default via its crawling network.
