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.
Corey Prophitt shipped a commercial product, marketyour.games, built with the BCHS stack: OpenBSD, C, httpd and SQLite. The app includes user accounts, a search dashboard, folder organization, Stripe payments and Postmark emails, served through CGI binaries rather than a modern framework. Deployment consists of replacing a single statically linked binary, relying on only three external libraries: libcurl, libsodium and libcjson.
Qisutu, a self-hosted, open-source help desk and ticketing platform built with Perl/CGI, MariaDB/MySQL and Template Toolkit, has reached version 1.0.2, marking its first stable, production-ready release. The software includes an agent and customer portal, email handling, directory login, automation, a knowledge base, CMDB, reporting and a REST API, and ships with eleven complete interface languages including English, German, French and Spanish. Installation is done via a shell script that sets up a dedicated system user and lets administrators pick their interface language during setup.
