--- sidebar_position: 999 --- # Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] - Add more AI user agents based on the [ai.robots.txt](https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt) project - Embedded challenge data in initial HTML response to improve performance - Whitelisted [DuckDuckBot](https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/duckduckbot/) in botPolicies - Improvements to build scripts to make them less independent of the build host - Improved the OpenGraph error logging - Added `Opera` to the `generic-browser` bot policy rule - Added FreeBSD rc.d script so can be run as a FreeBSD daemon. - Allow requests from the Internet Archive - Added example nginx configuration to documentation - Added example Apache configuration to the documentation [#277](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/277) - Move per-environment configuration details into their own pages - Added headers support to bot policy rules - Moved configuration file from JSON to YAML by default - Added documentation on how to use Anubis with Traefik in Docker ## v1.16.0 Fordola rem Lupis > I want to make them pay! All of them! Everyone who ever mocked or looked down on me -- I want the power to make them pay! The following features are the "big ticket" items: - Added support for native Debian, Red Hat, and tarball packaging strategies including installation and use directions. - A prebaked tarball has been added, allowing distros to build Anubis like they could in v1.15.x. - The placeholder Anubis mascot has been replaced with a design by [CELPHASE](https://bsky.app/profile/celphase.bsky.social). - Verification page now shows hash rate and a progress bar for completion probability. - Added support for [OpenGraph tags](https://ogp.me/) when rendering the challenge page. This allows for social previews to be generated when sharing the challenge page on social media platforms ([#195](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/195)) - Added support for passing the ed25519 signing key in a file with `-ed25519-private-key-hex-file` or `ED25519_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX_FILE`. The other small fixes have been made: - Added a periodic cleanup routine for the decaymap that removes expired entries, ensuring stale data is properly pruned. - Added a no-store Cache-Control header to the challenge page - Hide the directory listings for Anubis' internal static content - Changed `--debug-x-real-ip-default` to `--use-remote-address`, getting the IP address from the request's socket address instead. - DroneBL lookups have been disabled by default - Static asset builds are now done on demand instead of the results being committed to source control - The Dockerfile has been removed as it is no longer in use - Developer documentation has been added to the docs site - Show more errors when some predictable challenge page errors happen ([#150](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/150)) - Added the `--debug-benchmark-js` flag for testing proof-of-work performance during development. - Use `TrimSuffix` instead of `TrimRight` on containerbuild - Fix the startup logs to correctly show the address and port the server is listening on - Add [LibreJS](https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/) banner to Anubis JavaScript to allow LibreJS users to run the challenge - Added a wait with button continue + 30 second auto continue after 30s if you click "Why am I seeing this?" - Fixed a typo in the challenge page title. - Disabled running integration tests on Windows hosts due to it's reliance on posix features (see [#133](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/133#issuecomment-2764732309)). - Fixed minor typos - Added a Makefile to enable comfortable workflows for downstream packagers. - Added `zizmor` for GitHub Actions static analysis - Fixed most `zizmor` findings - Enabled Dependabot - Added an air config for autoreload support in development ([#195](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/195)) - Added an `--extract-resources` flag to extract static resources to a local folder. - Add noindex flag to all Anubis pages ([#227](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/227)). - Added `WEBMASTER_EMAIL` variable, if it is present then display that email address on error pages ([#235](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/235), [#115](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/115)) - Hash pinned all GitHub Actions ## v1.15.1 Zenos yae Galvus: Echo 1 Fixes a recurrence of [CVE-2025-24369](https://github.com/Xe/x/security/advisories/GHSA-56w8-8ppj-2p4f) due to an incorrect logic change in a refactor. This allows an attacker to mint a valid access token by passing any SHA-256 hash instead of one that matches the proof-of-work test. This case has been added as a regression test. It was not when CVE-2025-24369 was released due to the project not having the maturity required to enable this kind of regression testing. ## v1.15.0 Zenos yae Galvus > Yes...the coming days promise to be most interesting. Most interesting. Headline changes: - ed25519 signing keys for Anubis can be stored in the flag `--ed25519-private-key-hex` or envvar `ED25519_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX`; if one is not provided when Anubis starts, a new one is generated and logged - Add the ability to set the cookie domain with the envvar `COOKIE_DOMAIN=techaro.lol` for all domains under `techaro.lol` - Add the ability to set the cookie partitioned flag with the envvar `COOKIE_PARTITIONED=true` Many other small changes were made, including but not limited to: - Fixed and clarified installation instructions - Introduced integration tests using Playwright - Refactor & Split up Anubis into cmd and lib.go - Fixed bot check to only apply if address range matches - Fix default difficulty setting that was broken in a refactor - Linting fixes - Make dark mode diff lines readable in the documentation - Fix CI based browser smoke test Users running Anubis' test suite may run into issues with the integration tests on Windows hosts. This is a known issue and will be fixed at some point in the future. In the meantime, use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). ## v1.14.2 Livia sas Junius: Echo 2 - Remove default RSS reader rule as it may allow for a targeted attack against rails apps [#67](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/67) - Whitelist MojeekBot in botPolicies [#47](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/47) - botPolicies regex has been cleaned up [#66](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/66) ## v1.14.1 Livia sas Junius: Echo 1 - Set the `X-Real-Ip` header based on the contents of `X-Forwarded-For` [#62](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/62) ## v1.14.0 Livia sas Junius > Fail to do as my lord commands...and I will spare him the trouble of blocking you. - Add explanation of what Anubis is doing to the challenge page [#25](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/25) - Administrators can now define artificially hard challenges using the "slow" algorithm: ```json { "name": "generic-bot-catchall", "user_agent_regex": "(?i:bot|crawler)", "action": "CHALLENGE", "challenge": { "difficulty": 16, "report_as": 4, "algorithm": "slow" } } ``` This allows administrators to cause particularly malicious clients to use unreasonable amounts of CPU. The UI will also lie to the client about the difficulty. - Docker images now explicitly call `docker.io/library/` to increase compatibility with Podman et. al [#21](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/21) - Don't overflow the image when browser windows are small (eg. on phones) [#27](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/27) - Lower the default difficulty to 4 from 5 - Don't duplicate work across multiple threads [#36](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/36) - Documentation has been moved to https://anubis.techaro.lol/ with sources in docs/ - Removed several visible AI artifacts (e.g., 6 fingers) [#37](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/37) - [KagiBot](https://kagi.com/bot) is allowed through the filter [#44](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/44) - Fixed hang when navigator.hardwareConcurrency is undefined - Support Unix domain sockets [#45](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/45) - Allow filtering by remote addresses: ```json { "name": "qwantbot", "user_agent_regex": "\\+https\\:\\/\\/help\\.qwant\\.com/bot/", "action": "ALLOW", "remote_addresses": ["91.242.162.0/24"] } ``` This also works at an IP range level: ```json { "name": "internal-network", "action": "ALLOW", "remote_addresses": ["100.64.0.0/10"] } ``` ## 1.13.0 - Proof-of-work challenges are drastically sped up [#19](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/19) - Docker images are now built with the timestamp set to the commit timestamp - The README now points to TecharoHQ/anubis instead of Xe/x - Images are built using ko instead of `docker buildx build` [#13](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/13) ## 1.12.1 - Phrasing in the `
