GoKawiilKcgi CGI/FastCGI C library releases version 1.0.1 with macOS fix
Kcgi, an open source minimal CGI and FastCGI library for C and C++, has released version 1.0.1 dated 2025-11-17. The update is described as a hot-fix to 1.0.0 that corrects the naming of shared libraries on Mac OS X, which follows a different versioning suffix convention than other Unix-like systems. The library remains available via system package managers or as a source archive with SHA-512 verification.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The fix is narrow in scope, addressing packaging compatibility rather than functionality, which suggests continued maintenance focus on cross-platform reliability for a security- and sandboxing-oriented library. Because kcgi is positioned for auditable, minimal handling of untrusted web input, even small build or naming inconsistencies on supported platforms like macOS could affect adoption by developers who rely on it for secure CGI/FastCGI deployments.
- Kcgi 1.0.1 fixes shared library naming specifically for Mac OS X (Mojave and newer).
- The library supports many Unix-like systems and architectures, including Linux, BSDs, Solaris, and macOS.
- Kcgi emphasizes security via sandboxing and process separation for untrusted input handling.
