-> The mingw32 version uses mutex locks now which prevents
- log message corruption under load. As a side effect,
- the "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well.
+> The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose
+ select() implementation modifies the timeout structure.
+ Previously the timeout was triggered even if the connection
+ didn't stall. Reported by cyberpatrol.

-> Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
- option --disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also
- depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the
- --disable-editor option would disable remote toggling support
- as well.
+> The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
+ larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too
+ early.

-> The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with
- the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to
- add X-Forwarded-For headers. The latter functionality already
- existed in Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.7 but has been removed
- as it was often used unintentionally (by not using the
- hide-forwarded-for-headers action).
+> The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.

+> The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset
+ to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more

+> The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab

+> The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error"
+ message box on mingw32.

+> Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering
+ them required control over the configuration file, therefore
+ this isn't seen as a security issue.

+> In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
+ is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
+ skip reason.
