Changelog

• Update dependencies.
• Better output to stdout when loading configuration files (lists the names of all loaded configuration files).
• A timestamp is added to the command line output when starting Algernon.
• Slightly modified console text colors.
• Minor changes to recognized filename extensions.
• Update documentation to mention welcome.sh (fixes issue #23).
• Minor updates to javascript libraries used by two of the samples.
• Improved support for streaming large files (fixes issue #13).
• Added two new flags:
  • --timeout=N for setting a timeout in seconds, when serving large files (but there is range support, so if a download times out, the client can continue where it left).
  • --largesize=N for setting a threshold for when a file is too large to be read into memory (the default is 42 MiB).

Debian packages for 64-bit and 32-bit x86

Experimental release. Tested on Debian 9.

The binaries are fine, but some work is required to make the included systemd .service file work correctly with Debian.

• The included systemd .service file needs to be changed to run algernon as root.
• Either that, or some manual work adding the algernon user and http group is required, along with setting the correct capabilities with setcap and changing permissions for /srv/http, the log file and the temporary database file is required.
• redis-server is also required, unless the .service file is changed. If changed to use the built in BoltDB database instead of Redis, the correct permissions must be set for the temporary database file.
