4 - enable-edit-actions, enable-remote-toggle, and
5 enable-remote-http-toggle are disabled in the Debian package for
6 security reasons, because these options allow every user of your
7 privoxy to change its configuration. Except this there exist
8 exploits using Java and/or JavaScript that tell your browser to send
9 out requests for disabling the proxy or the filtering, which may
10 compromise your anonymity. If you still want to use these features,
11 you can enable them in /etc/privoxy/config and do a
12 "/etc/init.d/privoxy restart".
14 - Experimental IPv6 support was added to the package.
16 - The global default for all URLs (/) is now set in match-all.action
17 in contrast to versions up to 3.0.10, where a Debian only patch
18 configured them in global.action.
20 - Since 3.0.5 the upstream package uses the Cautious default settings
21 instead of Medium (like 3.0.3 did). To avoid problems on upgrades
22 of old packages, the Debian package still uses the Medium settings.
23 You can find the different profiles in /etc/privoxy/default.action.
24 To change the default, go to http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=match-all
25 (this can also be reached from http://p.p/show-status via the
26 match-all.action edit link. p.p is a privoxy internal address, so you
27 need to use privoxy as your HTTP proxy before you can access these
28 URLs) and modify the default to your needs. You can either set one
29 of the standard profiles (Cautious, Medium, or Advanced) or change
30 every single setting using the "Edit" button. It is necessary to
31 set "enable-edit-actions 1" (see above) in /etc/privoxy/config to
32 use the web interface. Alternatively you can modify
33 /etc/privoxy/match-all.action by hand. The other templates are
34 available in /etc/privoxy/default.action (search for lines starting
37 - /etc/privoxy/default.action is now owned by root, so you can not
38 modify it via http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=default any longer
39 (assumed that you set "enable-edit-action 1" above). You should
40 realize your local adaptions in /etc/privoxy/match-all.action and
41 /etc/privoxy/user.action, so default.action can be easily upgraded
42 by new package versions. If you do not like this change, feel free
43 to change the owner of default.action to "privoxy" and the file is
