GeoIP Update Change Log

2.2.1 (2015-02-25)

Bump version number to correct PPA release issue. No other changes to the source distribution.

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.

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.

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.

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.
