The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * GeoIP 1.7 * GeoIP-database 20240417 * geoipupdate 20240417 * libGeoIP-devel 1.7 * libGeoIP1 1.7
GeoIP Geographic IP Lookup (utilities, development, runtime) GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address. GeoIP-database Geographic IP Lookup (databases) GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address. These databases are extracts of free GeoLite2 data from Maxmind https://www.maxmind.com/ and are less accurate than the commercial databases. geoipupdate Geographic IP Lookup (database update utility) GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address. The geoipupdate database updater script downloads the latest available data and updates the files installed by the GeoIP-database package. The geoipupdate script may be run weekly to install the latest databases, either manually, from a login profile script, as a cron job, or from an MS Windows Scheduled Task. For more information see the project home pages: https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c https://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy GeoIP-database and geoipupdate packages will rarely be updated as the network, address locations, and data changes weekly and the database updater script geoipupdate will keep the data current. See below or read /usr/share/doc/GeoIP/ChangeLog after installation for details of software changes since the last Cygwin release: https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c/blob/master/ChangeLog 1.7.0 - `GeoIP_string_delete` was added for freeing strings returned by the various lookup functions. This is useful on Windows when the library may have been compiled with one runtime and you are using another. - Fix build problems related to `rpl_malloc()`. 1.6.12 2018-01-17 - Populate metro and area code when performing lookups in IPv6 City databases. Previously this was only done when using IPv4 City databases. 1.6.11 2017-05-15 - Fix use of a NULL pointer when opening a corrupt database with `GeoIP_open`. 1.6.10 2017-03-29 - GeoIP_database_info now returns the full version string rather than incorrectly truncating it. - This API is now distributed with a small test copy of GeoIP.dat rather than a full copy. - Fix issue where Visual Studio 2015 was optimizing out initialization code. - Fix test/benchmark on Windows. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** The easiest way to unsubscribe is to visit <https://cygwin.com/mailman/options/cygwin-announce>, and click 'Unsubscribe'.
