Hello all,

Today I released a new version of the Motsognir gopher server.

// quick reminder: what is Motsognir //
Motsognir is a robust and easy to install open-source gopher server for
Unix-like systems. It is is a standalone daemon that supports
server-side CGI applications and PHP scripts. Motsognir is entirely
written in ANSI C without external dependencies which makes it extremely
portable (Linux, BSD, Raspberry Pi...). Supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

The latest version, v1.0.5 is available from the Motsognir's home page:

http://motsognir.sourceforge.net
gopher://gopher.viste.fr/1/projects/motsognir/

What's new in v1.0.5 [05 Oct 2014]:
- Sanitizing the environment before calling a CGI/PHP children
(contributed by Matt Lewandowsky),
- Fixed the $HOME, $USER and $USERNAME environment variable when
dropping root privileges (contributed by Matt Lewandowsky),
- Added support for setting a custom http error file (HttpErrFile),
- When logging IP addresses, IPv4 addresses are logged as 'normal'
(short) addresses instead of IPV6MAPPED addresses,
- The 'GopherHostname' setting is not mandatory anymore. If missing,
local server's IP will be used automatically,
- Support for custom IP binding (allows to use multiple gopher
instances on a single server).

cheers,
Mateusz
