[erlang-questions] [ANN] locus: Geolocation and ASN lookup of IP addresses

[Guilherme Andrade]

Hello list,

Locus 1.6.0 was released today[1].

Added:
- new API method for validating loaded databases (locus:analyze/1)
- new command line tool supporting database validation

Changed:
- safety of database HTTPS downloads was substantially improved by now
rejecting expired certificates, mismatched hostnames, self-signed
certificates or unknown certificate authorities
- test coverage using MaxMind's test data was greatly extended
- database decoder was thoroughly optimized
- documentation was mildly improved

Fixed:
- misguided rejection of UTF-8 strings with non-printable (but valid)
codepoints
- unnecessarily strict refusal to load 2.x database formats succeeding 2.0
- infinite recursion in maliciously crafted databases due to circular paths

[1] For those who don't have the existing thread handy, locus is an
Erlang/OTP library for geolocation and ASN lookup of IP addresses, using
MaxMind GeoLite2 databases.
