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