- On POSIX-like platforms, network sockets with file descriptor

- The whole GPLv2 text is included in the user manual now,

- Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before being

- pipeline data on platforms that otherwise discard already written data.
- The issue mainly affected Opera users and was initially reported
- by Kevin in #3464439, szotsaki provided additional information to track
- down the cause.
+ Added support for Brotli decompression.

- Fix latency calculation for shared connections (disabled by default).
- It was broken since their introduction in 2009. The calculated latency
- for most connections would be 0 in which case the timeout detection
- failed to account for the real latency.
+ Added FEATURE_EXTENDED_STATISTICS to gather statistics for
+ block reasons and filter executions. To enable it, configure
+ with --enable-extended-statistics and visit
+ http://config.privoxy.org/show-status.

<para>
- Reject URLs with invalid port. Previously they were parsed incorrectly and
- characters between the port number and the first slash were silently
- dropped as shown by curl test 187.
+ Use the IP_FREEBIND socket option, if defined. This allows
+ Privoxy to bind to not-yet assigned IP addresses which is
+ useful in failover environments.

- The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as

<para>
- New directive tolerate-pipelining to allow client-side pipelining.
- If enabled (3.0.20 beta enables it by default), Privoxy will keep
- pipelined client requests around to deal with them once the current
- request has been served.
+ Let LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST log all requests. Previously unencrypted
+ requests were only logged with LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST when they weren't
+ crunched (in which case they were logged with LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH).
+ This was documented behaviour, but logging all requests seems more useful.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New --config-test option to let Privoxy exit after checking whether or not
- the configuration seems valid. The limitations noted in TODO #22 and #23
- still apply. Based on a patch by Ramkumar Chinchani.
+ Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().

<para>
- New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
- of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
+ Removed OS/2 support. We haven't provided OS/2 packages in years,
+ it complicated the code and it depended on a fallback snprintf()
+ implementation which is GPLv2 only.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Increase the hard-coded maximum number of actions and filter files from
- 10 to 30 (each). It doesn't significantly affect Privoxy's memory usage
- and recompiling wasn't an option for all Privoxy users that reached the
- limit.
+ Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation
+ Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for chunk-encoded client request bodies. Previously
- chunk-encoded request bodies weren't guaranteed to be forwarded correctly,
- so this can also be considered a bug fix although chunk-encoded request
- bodies aren't commonly used in the real world.
+ Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for Tor's optimistic-data SOCKS extension, which can reduce the
- latency for requests on newly created connections. Currently only the
- headers are sent optimistically and only if the client request has already
- been read completely which rules out requests with large bodies.
+ Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- After preventing the client from pipelining, don't signal keep-alive
- intentions. When looking at the response headers alone, it previously
- wasn't obvious from the client's perspective that no additional responses
- should be expected.
+ Explicitly prevent use of FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING
+ without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. It makes no sense
+ and does not compile anyway.

<para>
- Allow HTTP/1.0 clients to signal interest in keep-alive through the

<para>
- Only remove duplicated Content-Type headers when filters are enabled.
- If they are not it doesn't cause ill effects and the user might not want it.

- Anonymously reported in #3599335.

<para>
- Optionally try to sanity-check strptime() results before trusting them.

+ Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.

<para>
- When filtering is enabled, let Range headers pass if the range starts at

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Do not confuse a client hanging up with a connection time out. If a client

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as they are
- escaped.
+ Changed license for pcrs to GPLv2+ after getting the

+ to future mbedTLS versions which are expected to be
+ licensed under the Apache 2.0 license only.
