GeoIP Update Change Log

3.1.1 (2018-09-10)

  • This version now allows parsing of license keys longer than 12 characters.

3.1.0 (2018-08-16)

  • This version restores the ability to use the AccountID / UserId 999999 along with an all-zero license key when downloading free databases. However, the use of this combination is not recommended and may break in future versions.
  • When printing verbose output, only the first four character of the LicenseKey will now be displayed.

3.0.1 (2018-08-14)

  • When there were no updates available, 3.0.0 incorrectly returned an exit code of 1 instead of 0. This release reverts to the pre-3.0.0 behavior, returning an exit code of 0 in this case.

3.0.0 (2018-08-13)

  • BREAKING CHANGE: When downloading the free databases without a MaxMind account, you must either not have AccountID, UserId, or LicenseKey set in your configuration file or they must be set to the zero values previously recommended in our documentation. Any other value will cause an authorization error.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The configuration options Protocol, SkipPeerVerification, and SkipHostnameVerification are no longer supported. If they are present in the configuration file, they will be ignored. HTTPS with peer and hostname verification will be used on all requests.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The configuration file must have the AccountID or the deprecated UserId when downloading a paid database. Previously, when downloading the GeoIP Legacy Country database, you were able to only provide the LicenseKey.
  • IMPORTANT: geoipupdate-pureperl.pl has been removed and will no longer be distributed with geoipupdate. This Perl script had known issues and did not have feature parity with the C implementation. If you were using the Perl version, we recommend that you switch to the C version. If you are not able to do this, you may continue using the Perl version distributed with 2.5.0.
  • This program no longer uses the following endpoints: /app/update_getipaddr, /app/update, and /app/update_secure. /geoip/databases/{edition_id}/update is now used instead.
  • Fixed issue in gu_strnlen() dereferencing a pointer before checking that it was in array bounds. Issue found by fcntl.
  • We now update the default GeoIP.conf during installation so that directory paths match build parameters. Previously this config always said the data directory was under /usr/local/share which was not always accurate.
  • Improve the error checking and display the underlying reason for the error when possible. Reported by Jonathan Kosgei. GitHub #82.
  • Document that the LockFile is not removed from the filesystem after a successful exit from the program. GitHub issue #79.
  • Make default configuration directory agree with default installation directory.

2.5.0 (2017-10-30)

  • Replace use of strnlen() due to lack of universal availability. First reported by Bill Cole. GitHub issue #71.
  • Document the LockFile option in the GeoIP.conf man page. GitHub issue #64.
  • Remove unused base64 library. PR by Mikhail Teterin. GitHub PR #68.
  • Add the new configuration option PreserveFileTimes. If set, the downloaded files will get the same modification times as their original on the server. Default is 0 (unset). PR by Rainer Jung. GitHub PR #63.
  • Use the correct types when calling curl_easy_setopt(). This fixes warnings generated by libcurl's typecheck-gcc.h. PR by Michael Kaufmann. GitHub PR #61.
  • In GeoIP.conf, the UserId option was renamed to AccountID and the ProductIds option was renamed to EditionIDs. The old options will continue to work, but upgrading to the new names is recommended for forward compatibility.

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.
