<h1>Gopher Turns 10 / Gopher 3.0 (Furry Terror) Released</h1>
January 8, 2002
<P>
The Internet Gopher Server and Curses Client is 10 years old!*
Since its <A HREF="http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1991Sep10.020238.4751%40cs.umn.edu">announcement</A> in late 1991, Gopher quickly sprang up to be
one of the most innovative technologies of its time. Gopher today
still provides features not found on Web servers -- namely,
its idea that the entire planet is just one big filesystem.
Modern browsers such as Konqueror and Mozilla show it to us that
way, even with drag-and-drop integration with the desktop.
<P>
Today we release the Internet Gopher Server and Client version
3.0.
<P>
After having been totally unmodified for five years, the
Internet Gopher has kicked back to life. The University of
Minnesota placed the code under the GNU General Public License
and an interested group of hackers set to work on it. A year
later, we have this release.

A more detailed listing is below -- but it is still abbreviated.
The most current is available from CVS.
<PRE>
gopher (3.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Patched to work with Hurd. Closes: #115511. Uses
suggestions from James Morrison <ja2morri@student.math.uwaterloo.ca>
but not his patch.
* gopher.c, gopherd/error.c, gopher/download.c:
Modified to use HAVE_STRERROR
* configure.in: Modified with checks for sys/param.h, HURD header files,
get_current_dir_name, etc.
* configure.h.in, configure: rebuilt.
* Moved the current UMN Copyright notice in "COPYING" into "copyright"

gopher (2.3.1-15) unstable; urgency=low
* NetBSD port effort began.

Reran autoconf/autoheader.

and to include unistd.h if it's available. (NetBSD)

(may have been done earlier anyway)
* config.h.in: rebuilt by autoheader

based on configure test. Add conditional re_comp.h include.
* gopherd/gopherd.c: Add init of view and filter after setjmp
to eliminate clobbering due to longjmp and a warning. Cast
parameters to *printf to long as appropriate.

gopher (2.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial re-release. Package had been yanked after 1995 due to licensing.
* UMN has just GPL'd gopher.
* This package contains the security fix from bugtraq.
* I have patched it to chroot() and setuid() earlier for better
security.
SIDE EFFECT: logging will not work if chroot() is used.
* The extension chopping code was buggy, so I have removed it.

* Included more header files to bring in relevant prototypes
* Modified to use Debian paths

work better.
* Added logrotate
* Wrote Debian support from scratch.
* AUTH.h includes crypt.h
* gopherd/Makefile.in uses separate conffile dir (Debian path)
* STRstring.h had a paren problem; gcc on alpha brought it out. Fixed.
* String.h was missing some header files.
* Other fixes.
-- John Goerzen <jgoerzen@complete.org> Thu, 17 Aug 2000 15:16:07 -0500
</PRE>
* The exact date of version 1.0 of UMN gopher's release is not logged,
but this is about the right time.
