120 *** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes ***
122 - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
123 - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
124 the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
126 - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
127 (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
128 - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
129 Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
130 - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
131 FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
132 - Most URLs hardcoded into Junkbuster were changed to go through a script
133 e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
134 The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
135 http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
137 http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
138 ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by Junkbuster anyway.
139 TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in Junkbuster Corp's
140 copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
141 - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
144 *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
146 - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
149 *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
151 - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
152 (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
153 data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
154 - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
155 is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
156 make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
157 also has a higher name collision risk.
158 - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
159 parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
161 - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
162 that Stefan had placed there.
163 - Improved the re_filterfile
166 *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
168 - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
169 syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
170 is expected - however they seem to work.
171 - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
172 use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
173 the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
174 "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
175 need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
176 To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
177 This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
178 (how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
179 - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
180 one from JunkbusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
181 - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
182 apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
183 popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
184 - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
185 - New source file headers.
186 - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
187 config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
189 - RCS tags on .h files.
190 - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
192 - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
193 - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
194 - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
195 sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
196 has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
197 connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
198 config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
199 moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
200 And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
201 which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
202 (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
203 - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
204 and this function also stores the proxy_args.
205 - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
206 - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
207 - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
208 being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
209 - Version number changes to 2.9.0
