Details
-------
* Security #318: Fix world-readable permissions on new `.htpasswd` files
On startup the rest-server Docker container creates an empty `.htpasswd` file if
none exists yet. This file was world-readable by default, which can be a
security risk, even though the file only contains hashed passwords.
This has been fixed such that new `.htpasswd` files are no longer
world-readabble.
The permissions of existing `.htpasswd` files must be manually changed if
relevant in your setup.

* Change #322: Update dependencies and require Go 1.23 or newer
All dependencies have been updated. Rest-server now requires Go 1.23 or newer to
build.
This also disables support for TLS versions older than TLS 1.2. On Windows,
rest-server now requires at least Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016. On macOS,
rest-server now requires at least macOS 11 Big Sur.

* Enhancement #174: Support proxy-based authentication
Rest-server now supports authentication via HTTP proxy headers. This feature can
be enabled by specifying the username header using the `--proxy-auth-username`
option (e.g., `--proxy-auth-username=X-Forwarded-User`).
When enabled, the server authenticates users based on the specified header and
disables Basic Auth. Note that proxy authentication is disabled when `--no-auth`
is set.

https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/307
* Enhancement #189: Support group accessible repositories
Rest-server now supports making repositories accessible to the filesystem group
by setting the `--group-accessible-repos` option. Note that permissions of
existing files are not modified. To allow the group to read and write file, use
a umask of `007`. To only grant read access use `027`. To make an existing
repository group-accessible, use `chmod -R g+rwX /path/to/repo`.

https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/308
* Enhancement #295: Output status of append-only mode on startup
Rest-server now displays the status of append-only mode during startup.
https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/295
* Enhancement #315: Hardened tls settings
Rest-server now uses a secure TLS cipher suite set by default. The minimum TLS
version is now TLS 1.2 and can be further increased using the new
`--tls-min-ver` option, allowing users to enforce stricter security
requirements.
https://github.com/restic/rest-server/pull/315
* Enhancement #321: Add zip archive format for Windows releases
Windows users can now download rest-server binaries in zip archive format (.zip)
in addition to the existing tar.gz archives.
