2026-09-25 SQLite for Oddμ
===========================

I made a new release of Oddμ. It now uses a SQLite database. The
database tracks the following:

* the pages, so that SQLite’s full text search can be used;

* the hashtags, so that these no longer require all the data to be in
  memory;

* the image descriptions, so that the alt texts can be highlighted
  separately;

* the links, so that backlinks are easy to compute.

Restarting it rebuilds the database but of course I also hope that
there’s nothing to corrupt the database in the first place.

Relevant manual pages:

* oddmu-releases(7)

* oddmu-search(7)

* oddmu-index(7)

2026-09-29. I added the man pages of Oddauth. I'm pretty sure that's
a tool for a very niche audience: People who use Oddmu, on OpenBSD,
with relayd instead of a web server acting as reverse proxy. In this
situation, you lack a configurable basic auth middleware. oddauth is
that little program.

My code is a fork of Aki's oddauth.

2026-10-01. There are still quite some problems with the SQLite based
search. Many searches that seem natural to me now result in syntax
errors.
