- - Revised all OS X sections due to new packaging module (OSXPackageBuilder).
- - Update the list of supported operating systems to clarify that all Windows
- versions after 95 are expected to work and note that the platform-specific
- code for AmigaOS and QNX currently isn't maintained.
- - Update 'Signals' section, the only explicitly handled signals are SIGINT,
- SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
- - Add Haiku to the list of operating systems on which Privoxy is known to
- run.
- - Add DragonFly to the list of BSDs on which Privoxy is known to run.
- - Removed references to redhat-specific documentation set since it no longer
- exists.
- - Removed references to building PDFs since we no longer do so.
- - Multiple listen-address directives are supported since 3.0.18, correct the
- documentation to say so.
- - Remove bogus section about long and short being preferable to int.
- - Corrected some Internet JunkBuster references to Privoxy.
- - Removed references to www.junkbusters.com since it is no longer
- maintained. Reported by Angelina Matson.
- - Various grammar and spelling corrections
- - Add a client-header-tagger{} example for disabling filtering for range
- requests.
- - Correct a URL in the "Privoxy with Tor" FAQ.
- - Spell 'refresh-tags' correctly. Reported by Don in #3571927.
- - Sort manpage options alphabetically.
- - Remove an incorrect sentence in the toggle section. The toggle state
- doesn't affect whether or not the Windows version uses the tray icon.
- Reported by Zeno Kugy in #3596395.
- - Add new contributors since 3.0.19.

-- Log message improvements:
- - When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining, additionally log
- the socket number.
- - Log the client socket and its condition before closing it. This makes it
- more obvious that the socket actually gets closed and should help when
- diagnosing problems like #3464439.
- - In case of SOCKS5 failures, do not explicitly log the server's response.
- It hasn't helped so far and the response can already be logged by enabling
- "debug 32768" anyway. This reverts v1.81 and the follow-up bug fix v1.84.
- - Relocate the connection-accepted message from listen_loop() to serve().
- This way it's printed by the thread that is actually serving the
- connection which is nice when grepping for thread ids in log files.
-
-- Code cleanups:
- - Remove compatibility layer for versions prior to 3.0 since it has been
- obsolete for more than 10 years now.
- - Remove the ijb_isupper() and ijb_tolower() macros from parsers.c since
- they aren't used in this file.
- - Removed the 'Functions declared include:' comment sections since they tend
- to be incomplete, incorrect and out of date and the benefit seems
- questionable.
- - Various comment grammar and comprehensibility improvements.
- - Remove a pointless fflush() call in chat(). Flushing all streams pretty
- much all the time for no obvious reason is ridiculous.
- - Relocate ijb_isupper()'s definition to project.h and get the ijb_tolower()
- definition from there, too.
- - Relocate ijb_isdigit()'s definition to project.h.
- - Rename ijb_foo macros to privoxy_foo.
- - Add malloc_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where malloc()
- failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
- - Add strdup_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where strdup()
- failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
- - Replace strdup() calls with strdup_or_die() calls where it's safe and
- simplifies the code.
- - Fix white-space around parentheses.
- - Add missing white-space behind if's and the following parentheses.
- - Unwrap a memcpy() call in resolve_hostname_to_ip().
- - Declare pcrs_get_delimiter()'s delimiters[] static const.
- - Various optimisations to remove dead code and merge inefficient code
- structures for improved clarity, performance or code compactness.
- - Various data type corrections.
- - Change visibility of several code segments when compiling without
- FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE enabled for clarity.
- - In pcrs_get_delimiter(), do not use delimiters outside the ASCII range.
- Fixes a clang complaint.
- - Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to see.
- Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.
- - Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted by Matthew
- Fischer in #3507304.
- - Shorten ssplit()'s prototype by removing the last two arguments. We always
- want to skip empty fields and ignore leading delimiters, so having
- parameters for this only complicates the API.
- - Use an enum for the type of the action value.
- - Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it isn't used as
- boolean.
- - Turn family mismatches in match_sockaddr() into fatal errors.
- - Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass a header
- containing either \r or \n.
- - Change the hashes used in load_config() to unsigned int. That's what
- hash_string() actually returns and using a potentially larger type
- is at best useless.
- - Use privoxy_tolower() instead of vanilla tolower() with manual casting of
- the argument.
- - Catch ssplit() failures in parse_cgi_parameters().
+ - Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.
+ - Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3.
+ - Mention the new mailing lists were appropriate.
+ As the archives have not been migrated, continue to
+ mention the archives at SF in the contacting section
+ for now.
+ - Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is
+ running as intercepting proxy without getting all requests.
+ - A bunch of links were converted to https://.
+ - Rephrase onion service paragraph to make it more obvious
+ that Tor is involved and that the whole website (and not
+ just the homepage) is available as onion service.
+ - Streamline the "More information" section on the homepage further
+ by additionally ditching the link to the 'See also' section
+ of the user manual. The section contains mostly links that are
+ directly reachable from the homepage already and the rest is
+ not significant enough to get a link from the homepage.
+ - Change the add-header{} example to set the DNT header
+ and use a complete section to make copy and pasting
+ more convenient.
+ Add a comment to make it obvious that adding the
+ header is not recommended for obvious reasons.
+ Using the DNT header as example was suggested by
+ Leo Wzukw.
+ - Streamline the support-and-service template
+ Instead of linking to the various support trackers
+ (whose URLs hopefully change soon), link to the
+ contact section of the user manual to increase the
+ chances that users actually read it.
+ - Add a FAQ entry for tainted sockets.
+ - More sections in the documentation have stable URLs now.
+ - FAQ: Explain why 'ping config.privoxy.org' is not expected
+ to reach a local Privoxy installation.
+ - Note that donations done through Zwiebelfreunde e.V. currently
+ can't be checked automatically.
+ - Updated section regarding starting Privoxy under OS X.
+ - Use dedicated start instructions for FreeBSD and ElectroBSD.
+ - Removed release instructions for AIX. They haven't been working
+ for years and unsurprisingly nobody seems to care.
+ - Removed obsolete reference to the solaris-dist target.
+ - Updated the release instructions for FreeBSD.
+ - Removed unfinished release instructions for Amiga OS and HP-UX 11.
+ - Added a pointer to the Cygwin Time Machine for getting the last release of
+ Cygwin version 1.5 to use for building Privoxy on Windows.
+ - Various typos have been fixed.
+
+- Infrastructure improvements:
+ - The website is no longer hosted at SourceForge and
+ can be reached through https now.
+ - The mailing lists at SourceForge have been deprecated,
+ you can subscribe to the new ones at: https://lists.privoxy.org/
+ - Migrating the remaining services from SourceForge is
+ work in progress (TODO list item #53).
+
+- Build system improvements:
+ - Add configure argument to optimistically redefine FD_SETSIZE
+ with the intent to change the maximum number of client
+ connections Privoxy can handle. Only works with some libcs.
+ Sponsored by Robert Klemme.
+ - Let the tarball-dist target skip files in ".git".
+ - Let the tarball-dist target work in cwds other than current.
+ - Make the 'clean' target faster when run from a git repository.
+ - Include tools in the generic distribution.
+ - Let the gen-dist target work in cwds other than current.
+ - Sort find output that is used for distribution tarballs
+ to get reproducible results.
+ - Don't add '-src' to the name of the tar ball generated by the
+ gen-dist target. The package isn't a source distribution but a
+ binary package.
+ While at it, use a variable for the name to reduce the chances
+ that the various references get out of sync and fix the gen-upload
+ target which was looking in the wrong directory.
+ - Add regression-tests.action to the files that are distributed.
+ - The gen-dist target which was broken since 2002 (r1.92) has been fixed.
+ - Remove genclspec.sh which has been obsolete since 2009.
+ - Remove obsolete reference to Redhat spec file.
+ - Remove the obsolete announce target which has been commented out years ago.
+ - Let rsync skip files if the checksums match.
