downloadpkgsrc-a6994dab908f1d4a9984566cb016c88d758c917f.tar.gz
Updated to version 1.4.4.
Pkgsrc changes: - Added support for installation to DESTDIR. - More fixes for the man page geoiplookup.1 (patch-ab) - Two additional patches patch-ac and patch-ad to make geoiplookup not crash with segmentation fault if the data file either does not exist or has the wrong format. - Patches -ab, -ac, and -ad submitted to the bugtracker at sourceforge.net. - Updated DESCR with date of data file. - Added license information. Changes since version 1.4.0: ============================ 1.4.4 2008-1-21 * Updated original geoipupdate to return "Invalid product ID or subscription expired" * Added BL/Saint Barthelemy, MF/Saint Martin (ISO-3166-1 additions) * Check for illegal IP strings, return 0 if IP is not well formed IPv4 e.g. 1.2.3.4.5 and 1.2.3 * Clarified that while core GeoIP library is LGPL, libGeoIPUpdate depends on md5.c and types.h which are GPL. * speedup the conversion from ipstring to ipnum in _GeoIP_addr_to_num. Doubles the speed of GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE and GEOIP_MMAP_CACHE * Added new mmap shared memory caching option, GEOIP_MMAP_CACHE (Peter Shipley, LookSmart) - mmaps: our maps are shared, but we need only private readonly pages 1.4.3 2007-8-30 ! CHANGE with geoiplookup facility: -v flag now returns database info for all databases, not just GeoIP Country * Added ability to get netmask of network block from last lookup using GeoIP_last_netmask * Fixed GeoIP_database_info bug with GeoLite City * Replaced 4 with sizeof(char*) to fix issues with geoipupdate on 64 Bit machines * Added GeoIP_set_charset function - enables UTF8 output of city name if GEOIP_CHARSET_UTF8 flag is passed to GeoIP_set_charset * Fixed segfault issue if calling GeoIP_db_avail before opening a database * Added continent_code to GeoIP City's record struct (Frank Mather) 1.4.2 2007-2-8 * Added -d flag to enable custom path for geoipupdate utility program (Frank Mather) * Replaced _WIN32 with WIN32 since WIN32 is already set by compilers * Moved var definitions to top of code, defined size_t (Guenter Knauf) * Added Makefile.win32, Makefile.netware, get_ver.awk, geoip.ico to EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am (Guenter Knauf) 1.4.1 2007-1-2 * Replaced CS/Serbia and Montenegro with RS/Serbia, removed ZR/Zaire, added ME/Montenegro * Added AX/Aland Islands, GG/Guernsey, IM/Isle of Man, JE/Jersey (ISO-3166-1 changes) * Added GeoIP_time_zone_by_country_and_region, to lookup zoneinfo timezone by country and region (Frank Mather) * Added GeoIP_region_name_by_code, to lookup region name from region code (Frank Mather) * added -f and -d flags to enable custom paths for geoiplookup utility program (Frank Mather) * Added benchmarks for GeoIP Region and City in test/benchmark.c (Frank Mather) * Fixed build issue when using --as-needed flag (Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò) * Add sanity checking for filename returned by MaxMind.com server for geoipupdate filename (Dean Gaudet, arctic.org) * Fixed memory leaks under error conditions, buffer overflow using sprintf, and issue where a corrupted cache file could core dump the file (Nick Galbreath, Right Media Inc)

GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP
address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database that is
-accurate as of September 2005. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys,
+accurate as of January 2008. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys,
and countries as values. It should be more complete and accurate than using
reverse DNS lookups.
