->3. What's New in this Release</A
-></H1
-><P
-> <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy 3.0.16</SPAN
-> is a stable release.
- The changes since 3.0.15 beta are:</P
-><P
-> <P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> Added the config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok to
- work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes Firefox to hang
- if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations. The option is
- enabled in the default config file.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added the config file option default-server-timeout to control the
- assumed default server timeout. Since Privoxy no longer returns
- an error message for connection resets on reused client connections,
- assuming larger server timeout values appears to actually work
- pretty well as long as connections aren't shared.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added optional support for FreeBSD's accf_http(9). Use the
- configure option --enable-accept-filter to enable it.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added fancier Privoxy icons for win32. Contributed by Jeff H.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Resolve localhost using whatever address family the operating
- system feels like. Previous betas would try to use IPv4 as this
- is what most users expect, but this didn't work reliably on
- GNU/Linux systems.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In the action lists on CGI pages, actions and their parameters are
- no longer separated with a space. The action file parser doesn't
- actually allow this and will throw an invalid syntax error if actions
- and parameters in the action files are separated. Not adding the
- spaces means copy and pasting CGI output into the action files works.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The default keep-alive timeout has been reduced to 5 seconds to work
- around hangs in clients that treat the proxy like any other host and
- stop allowing any new connections if the "maximum number of
- connections per host" is reached.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Several webbug URLs that look like they are leading to images are now
- blocked as image instead of empty documents. Doing the latter causes
- WebKit-based clients to show a "missing image" icon which may mess up
- the layout.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The no-such-domain template is used for DNS resolution
- problems with FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT enabled. Previously the
- connect-failed template was used. Reported by 'zebul666'.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2
- doesn't seem to allow them. Reported anonymously.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Don't try to forget connections if connection sharing is disabled.
- This wasn't a real problem but caused an unnecessary log message.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The still undocumented --enable-extended-host-patterns configure
- option has a better description.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed an error message that would claim a write to the server
- failed when actually writing to the client failed.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Log the crunch reason before trying to write to the client.
- The log is easier to read that way.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Several log messages about client connections also mention
- the socket number.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> handle-as-empty-document no longer depends on the image blocking
- code being enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy-Log-Parser is roughly 40% faster in highlighting mode.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> uagen, a Firefox User-Agent generator for Privoxy and Mozilla
- browsers has been imported and is available in the tarball's
- tools directory.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The scripts in the tools directory treat unknown parameters
- as fatal errors.
- </P
-></LI
-></UL
-></P
-><P
-> If you missed the previous three beta versions, you may also be
- interested in the additional changes since 3.0.12, the
- last stable release:</P
-><P
-> <P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> Added IPv6 support. Thanks to Petr Pisar who not only provided
- the initial patch but also helped a lot with the integration.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added client-side keep-alive support.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing
- option is enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to
- reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of
- connections problems several users reported.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The max-client-connections option has been added to restrict
- the number of client connections below a value enforced by
- the operating system.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive,
- Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support. Previously
- Privoxy would claim to allow persistence but not reuse the connection.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request
- body of the previous request. Note that Privoxy still has no real
- pipeline support and will either serialize pipelined requests or
- drop them in which case the client has to resent them.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization
- is enabled and the date couldn't be parsed.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced
- to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not
- setting any Connection header instead of using 'Connection: keep-alive'.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste
- a socket slot to remember the connection.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's
- Keep-Alive header is removed.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a bug on mingw32 where downloading large files failed if
- keep-alive support was enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log
- timestamps to be occasionally off by about a second.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching
- for groups and id.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Compressed content with extra fields couldn't be decompressed
- and would get passed to the client unfiltered. This problem
- has only be detected through statical analysis with clang as
- nobody seems to be using extra fields anyway.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If the server resets the Connection after sending only the headers
- Privoxy forwards what it got to the client. Previously Privoxy
- would deliver an error message instead.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Error messages in case of connection timeouts use the right
- HTTP status code.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If spawning a child to handle a request fails, the client
- gets an error message and Privoxy continues to listen for
- new requests right away.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The error messages in case of server-connection timeouts or
- prematurely closed server connections are now template-based.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If zlib support isn't compiled in, Privoxy no longer tries to
- filter compressed content unless explicitly asked to do so.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In case of connections that are denied based on ACL directives,
- the memory used for the client IP is no longer leaked.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed another small memory leak if the client request times out
- while waiting for client headers other than the request line.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The client socket is kept open until the server socket has
- been marked as unused. This should increase the chances that
- the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next
- request to the same destination. Note that this only matters
- if connection-sharing is enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> A TODO list has been added to the source tarball to give potential
- volunteers a better idea of what the current goals are. Donations
- are still welcome too: http://www.privoxy.org/faq/general.html#DONATE
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the
- client if the request arrived on a reused connection. The client
- is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering
- the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the
- "No server or forwarder data received" error message many users
- reported.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets
- with keep-alive enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from
- FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on
- all platforms.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections.
- Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting
- form data with some browser configurations.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed various latency calculation issues.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a
- forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work
- in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn't. Now it's confirmed to work
- with IE, Firefox and Chrome.
- Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers
- takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate
- the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems
- using earlier glibc version that don't support AI_ADDRCONFIG.
- Anonymously submitted in #2872591.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec
- files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for
- quite some time.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper
- error message. Previously they would be either rejected as
- invalid or cause a core dump through abort().
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered.
- They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might
- differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent()
- instead of escape() which doesn't encode all characters that matter.
- Anonymously reported in #2832722.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Various log message improvements.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.

+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.26</span> stable is a bug-fix
+ release for the previously released 3.0.25 beta which introduced
+ client-specific tags and included a couple of minor improvements.</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed crashes with "listen-addr :8118" (SF Bug #902). The
+ regression was introduced in 3.0.25 beta and reported by Marvin
+ Renich in Debian bug #834941.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Log when privoxy is toggled on or off via cgi interface.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message in the
+ Windows log viewer.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message in the
+ Windows log viewer.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a
+ potentionally more appropriate alternative.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update download section on the homepage. The downloads are
+ available from the website now.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add sponsor FAQ.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove obsolete reference to mailing lists hosted at
+ SourceForge.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update the "Before the Release" section of the developer
+ manual.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Infrastructure improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add perl script to generate an RSS feed for the packages
+ Submitted by "Unknown".</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>strptime.h: fix a compiler warning about ambiguous else.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>configure.in: Check for Docbook goo on the BSDs as well.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>GNUMakefile.in: Let the dok-user target remove temporary
+ files.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Changes between <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.25 beta</span>
+ and the previous release:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Always use the current toggle state for new requests.
+ Previously new requests on reused connections inherited the
+ toggle state from the previous request even though the toggle
+ state could have changed. Reported by Robert Klemme.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed two buffer-overflows in the (deprecated) static pcre
+ code. These bugs are not considered security issues as the input
+ is trusted. Found with afl-fuzz and ASAN.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Added support for client-specific tags which allow Privoxy
+ admins to pre-define tags that are set for all requests from
+ clients that previously opted in through the CGI interface. They
+ are useful in multi-user setups where admins may want to allow
+ users to disable certain actions and filters for themselves
+ without affecting others. In single-user setups they are useful
+ to allow more fine-grained toggling. For example to disable
+ request blocking while still crunching cookies, or to disable
+ experimental filters only. This is an experimental feature, the
+ syntax and behaviour may change in future versions. Sponsored by
+ Robert Klemme.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Dynamic filters and taggers now support a $listen-address
+ variable which contains the address the request came in on. For
+ external filters the variable is called $PRIVOXY_LISTEN_ADDRESS.
+ Original patch contributed by pursievro.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new
+ requests. Patch contributed by pursievro.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal
+ errors.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The show-status page now shows whether or not dates before
+ 1970 and after 2038 are expected to be handled properly. This is
+ mainly useful for Privoxy-Regression-Test but could also come
+ handy when dealing with time-related support requests.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to
+ be unique now.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is
+ logged as well.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced (CID
+ #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211).</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download
+ resumption and Windows updates work with the default
+ configuration.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". Reported by ThTomate in #932.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>

+ <p>Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is
+ running as intercepting proxy without getting all requests.</p>

+ <li>
+ <p>A bunch of links were converted to https://.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a FAQ entry for tainted sockets.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>More sections in the documentation have stable URLs now.</p>

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Use dedicated start instructions for FreeBSD and

+ <li>
+ <p>Removed release instructions for AIX. They haven't been

+ </li>

+ <p>Removed obsolete reference to the solaris-dist target.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Updated the release instructions for FreeBSD.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Removed unfinished release instructions for Amiga OS and HP-UX
+ 11.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Various typos have been fixed.</p>

+ <p>Infrastructure improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>The website is no longer hosted at SourceForge and can be
+ reached through https now.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The mailing lists at SourceForge have been deprecated, you can
+ subscribe to the new ones at: https://lists.privoxy.org/</p>

+ <li>
+ <p>Migrating the remaining services from SourceForge is work in

+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.</p>

+ <li>
+ <p>Add regression-tests.action to the files that are
+ distributed.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The gen-dist target which was broken since 2002 (r1.92) has
+ been fixed.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove genclspec.sh which has been obsolete since 2009.</p>

+ <li>
+ <p>Let rsync skip files if the checksums match.</p>

+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a "Default level offset" directive which can be used to
+ change the default level by a given value. This directive affects
+ all tests located after it until the end of the file or a another
+ "Default level offset" directive is reached. The purpose of this
+ directive is to make it more convenient to skip similar tests in
+ a given file without having to remove or disable the tests
+ completely.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let test level 17 depend on FEATURE_64_BIT_TIME_T instead of
+ FEATURE_PTHREAD which has no direct connection to the time_t
+ size.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix indentation in perldoc examples.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Don't overlook directives in the first line of the action
+ file.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.7.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix detection of the Privoxy version now that https:// is used

+ <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="UPGRADERSNOTE" id="UPGRADERSNOTE">3.1. Note
+ to Upgraders</a></h2>
+ <p>A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier
+ versions of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>The recommended way to upgrade <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is to backup your old configuration
+ files, install the new ones, verify that <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is working correctly and finally merge
+ back your changes using <span class="APPLICATION">diff</span> and
+ maybe <span class="APPLICATION">patch</span>.</p>
+ <p>There are a number of new features in each <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> release and most of them have to be
+ explicitly enabled in the configuration files. Old configuration
+ files obviously don't do that and due to syntax changes using old
+ configuration files with a new <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> isn't always possible anyway.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Note that some installers remove earlier versions completely,
+ including configuration files, therefore you should really save any
+ important configuration files!</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>On the other hand, other installers don't overwrite existing
+ configuration files, thinking you will want to do that
+ yourself.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>In the default configuration only fatal errors are logged now.
+ You can change that in the <a href="config.html#DEBUG">debug
+ section</a> of the configuration file. You may also want to enable
+ more verbose logging until you verified that the new <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version is working as expected.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Three other config file settings are now off by default:
+ <a href="config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE">enable-remote-toggle</a>,
+ <a href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-HTTP-TOGGLE">enable-remote-http-toggle</a>,
+ and <a href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-EDIT-ACTIONS">enable-edit-actions</a>. If you
+ use or want these, you will need to explicitly enable them, and be
+ aware of the security issues involved.</p>
