I think I promised not to brag about releases...
.... oh what the heck, here's the new release.
Version 0.8 of the server fixes a number of small bugs and adds a really
nifty feature - parsed executable gophermaps. What it means that
gophermaps can include other gophermaps, can include executables and
everything is filtered to be valid gopher menus. So you can do stuff
that's very much like server side includes in HTTP.
Basically, you can have a gophermap like this:
------8<------8<------8<------8<------
!Welcome to My kewl site!
=figlet -f chunky "My kewl site!"
=uptime
=date "+%a %d %b" | figlet -f chunky
*
------8<------8<------8<------8<------
And it'll look like this in Lynx (Firefox would break copy&paste):
Welcome to My kewl site!
