- new directory structure containing manifest.json and one json file per provider, by default.
- the manifest.json file can specify a filepath for each vpn provider
- each vpn provider json data file can contain the `"preferred": true` field to enforce it is used even if outdated, unless there is a version mismatch
- `STORAGE_SERVERS_DIRECTORY_PATH` replaces `STORAGE_FILEPATH` (which is now a migration source only). It sets the directory where server manifest and per-provider JSON files are stored (default: `/gluetun/servers/`).
- First-run migration: On startup, gluetun checks for the old /gluetun/servers.json file; if found and no new manifest exists, it automatically migrates all data to /gluetun/servers/ directory structure
- Silent fallback: If legacy file isn't found, uses the new directory path normally
- Legacy cleanup: After successful migration, attempts to remove the old fat JSON file (logs warning only if removal fails, e.g., read-only bind mounts)
- main reason being it's a burden to always define sentinel errors at global scope, wrap them with `%w` instead of using a string directly
- only use sentinel errors when it has to be checked using `errors.Is`
- replace all usage of these sentinel errors in `fmt.Errorf` with direct strings that were in the sentinel error
- exclude the sentinel error definition requirement from .golangci.yml
- update unit tests to use ContainersError instead of ErrorIs so it stays as a "not a change detector test" without requiring a sentinel error
- Fix DNS blocklists slow downloads, fix#3102
- Leave 35s timeout for updaters
- Set timeouts to 1s for local calls
- Set timeouts to 5s for LAN VPN calls and small external calls
- Set timeouts to 10s external VPN API calls
- Build API IP address using the first 2 bytes of the gateway IP and adding `128.1` to it
- API IP address is valid for both OpenVPN and Wireguard
- Fix#2320
- Retro-compatible with `OPENVPN_USER` + `OPENVPN_PASSWORD`
- No more reading for the OpenVPN auth file
- Allow to use PIA port forwarding with Wireguard
- `OPENVPN_IPV6` removed
- Affects OpenVPN
- Use the same mechanism for OpenVPN and Wireguard
- Check only once at program start since this is unlikely to change at runtime
- Log if IPv6 is supported
- Remove `IPv6` boolean from settings structs
- Move IPv6 detection as a method on NetLinker
- Each provider interface can now fetch updated servers data
- Rename each provider updater subpackage name to `updater`
- Updater constructor does not take a settings struct
- Updater update method takes in a slice of provider strings
- settings: get filter choices from storage for settings validation
- updater: update servers to the storage
- storage: minimal deep copying and data duplication
- storage: add merged servers mutex for thread safety
- connection: filter servers in storage
- formatter: format servers to Markdown in storage
- PIA: get server by name from storage directly
- Updater: get servers count from storage directly
- Updater: equality check done in storage, fix#882
