4.5.0

• We no longer use a third party library for exponential backoff. This
  restores support for older Go versions.

4.4.0

• The edition ID is now included when there is a failure retrieving a
  database.
• The Docker image no longer prints the generated GeoIP.conf when starting
  up. This prevents a possible leak of the account's license key. Pull
  request by Nate Gay. GitHub #109.
• The minimum Go version is now 1.11.
• Failing HTTP requests are now retried using an exponential backoff. The
  period to keep retrying any failed request is set to 5 minutes by default and
  can be adjusted using the new RetryFor configuration option.
• When using the go package rather than the command-line tool, the null value
  for RetryFor will be 0 seconds, which means no retries will be performed. To
  change that, set RetryFor explicitly in the Config you provide, or obtain
  your Config value via geoipupdate.NewConfig.

4.3.0

• First release to Docker Hub. Requested by Shun Yanaura. GitHub #24.
• The binary builds are now built with CGO_ENABLED=0. Request by CrazyMax.
  GitHub #63.

v4.2.2

4.2.2

• Re-release for PPA. No other changes.

4.2.1

• The minimum Go version is now 1.10 again as this was needed to build the PPA
  packages.

4.2.0

• The major version of the module is now included at the end of the module
  path. Previously, it was not possible to import the module in projects that
  were using Go modules. Reported by Roman Glushko. GitHub #81.
• The minimum Go version is now 1.13.
• A valid account ID and license key combination is now required for database
  downloads, so those configuration options are now required.
• The error handling when closing a local database file would previously
  ignore errors and, upon upgrading to github.com/pkg/errors 0.9.0,
  would fail to ignore expected errors. Reported by Ilya Skrypitsa and
  pgnd. GitHub #69 and #70.
• The RPM release was previously lacking the correct owner and group on files
  and directories. Among other things, this caused the package to conflict with
  the GeoIP package in CentOS 7 and GeoIP-GeoLite-data in CentOS 8. The
  files are now owned by root. Reported by neonknight. GitHub #76.

4.1.5

• Respect the defaultConfigFile and defaultDatabaseDirectory variables in
  the main package again. They were ignored in 4.1.0 through 4.1.4. If not
  specified, the GitHub and PPA releases for these versions used the config
  /usr/local/etc/GeoIP.conf instead of /etc/GeoIP.conf and the database
  directory /usr/local/share/GeoIP instead of /usr/share/GeoIP.

4.1.4

• Re-release of 4.1.3 as two commits were missing. No changes.

4.1.3

• Remove formatting, linting, and testing from the geoipupdate target in
  the Makefile.

4.1.0

• Improve man page formatting and organization. Pull request by Faidon
  Liambotis. GitHub #44.
• Provide update functionality as an importable package as well as a
  standalone program. Pull request by amzhughe. GitHub #48.
