- Generate meta.json with SHA256 hashes for each file
- Add endpoints:
- GET /launcher/meta - list all versions with meta
- GET /launcher/meta/{version} - meta for specific version
- POST /launcher/diff - get diff between local and server files
- GET /launcher/file/{version}/{path} - download individual file
- GET /launcher/download/zip/{version} - download full ZIP for new install
- Legacy builds (ZIP files) remain unchanged
- Load known bad IPs from FireHOL blocklists on startup
- ~4400 IPs blocked by default
- Set PUBLIC_BLOCKLIST=false to disable
- Combined with manual BLOCKED_IPS env var
- Global rate limiting (60 requests/minute per IP)
- IP whitelist/blacklist via ALLOWED_IPS and BLOCKED_IPS env vars
- Bot detection - silent 404 for suspicious paths (.env, phpinfo, etc.)
- Path traversal detection
- Reduced noise in logs from bot scanners
- Add version parsing to distinguish new vs legacy format builds
