</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
-
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>When using socks5t, send the request body optimistically as
- well. Previously the request body wasn't guaranteed to be sent at
- all and the error message incorrectly blamed the server. Fixes
- #1686 reported by Peter Müller and G4JC.</p>
+ <p>Added experimental https inspection support which allows to filter https traffic. To enable it, install
+ MbedTLS and configure with --with-mbedtls, or install OpenSSL or LibreSSL and configure with
+ --with-openssl. Afterwards configure the directives in section 7 of the config file and enable the
+ +https-inspection action. Initial MbedTLS-based code contributed by Vaclav Svec, initial OpenSSL support
+ contributed by Maxim Antonov. With help from Nedzad Hrnjica and Ho+ Ho+ Ho+. Integration and improvements
+ sponsored by Robert Klemme.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>pcrs: Request JIT compilation if it's supported and the filter isn't dynamic. This can speed up
+ filtering.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Added support for Brotli decompression. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>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. Patch by Sam Varshavchik.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Allow to use extended host patterns and vanilla host patterns at the same time by prefixing extended
+ host patterns with "PCRE-HOST-PATTERN:". To enable this, configure with --enable-pcre-host-patterns.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Added "Cross-origin resource sharing" (CORS) support. This allows to access Privoxy's CGI interface via
+ JavaScript from another domain (white-listed with the new cors-allowed-origin directive). Based on a patch
+ by Nedzad Hrnjica. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add SOCKS5 username/password support. Based on a patch by Sam, improved by Ivan Romanov. Closes
+ Patch#141 and solves TODO#105.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fixed buffer scaling in execute_external_filter() that could
- lead to crashes. Submitted by Yang Xia in #892.</p>
+ <p>Bump the maximum number of action and filter files to 100 each. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fixed crashes when executing external filters on platforms
- like Mac OS X. Reported by Jonathan McKenzie on ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ <p>Fixed handling of filters with "split-large-forms 1" when using the CGI editor. Reported by withoutname
+ in #921.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Properly parse ACL directives with ports when compiled with
- HAVE_RFC2553. Previously the port wasn't removed from the host
- and in case of 'permit-access 127.0.0.1 example.org:80' Privoxy
- would try (and fail) to resolve "example.org:80" instead of
- example.org. Reported by Pak Chan on ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ <p>Better detect a mismatch of connection details when figuring out whether or not a connection can be
+ reused.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Check requests more carefully before serving them forcefully
- when blocks aren't enforced. Privoxy always adds the force token
- at the beginning of the path, but would previously accept it
- anywhere in the request line. This could result in requests being
- served that should be blocked. For example in case of pages that
- were loaded with force and contained JavaScript to create
- additionally requests that embed the origin URL (thus inheriting
- the force prefix). The bug is not considered a security issue and
- the fix does not make it harder for remote sites to intentionally
- circumvent blocks if Privoxy isn't configured to enforce them.
- Fixes #1695 reported by Korda.</p>
+ <p>Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the "DNS failure" message. Sponsored by: Robert
+ Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Normalize the request line in intercepted requests to make
- rewriting the destination more convenient. Previously rewrites
- for intercepted requests were expected to fail unless $hostport
- was being used, but they failed "the wrong way" and would result
- in an out-of-memory message (vanilla host patterns) or a crash
- (extended host patterns). Reported by "Guybrush Threepwood" in
- #1694.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Enable socket lingering for the correct socket. Previously it
- was repeatedly enabled for the listen socket instead of for the
- accepted socket. The bug was found by code inspection and did not
- cause any (reported) issues.</p>
+ <p>Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Detect and reject parameters for parameter-less actions.
- Previously they were silently ignored.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fixed invalid reads in internal and outdated pcre code. Found
- with afl-fuzz and AddressSanitizer.</p>
+ <p>Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Prevent invalid read when loading invalid action files. Found
- with afl-fuzz and AddressSanitizer.</p>
+ <p>Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Windows build: Use the correct function to close the event
- handle. It's unclear if this bug had a negative impact on
- Privoxy's behaviour. Reported by Jarry Xu in #891.</p>
+ <p>Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>In case of invalid forward-socks5(t) directives, use the
- correct directive name in the error messages. Previously they
- referred to forward-socks4t failures. Reported by Joel Verhagen
- in #889.</p>
+ <p>Explicitly prevent use of FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. It makes no
+ sense and does not compile anyway. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error. Sponsored
+ by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>decompress_iob(): Downgrade the no-content message to LOG_LEVEL_RE_FILTER While at it, fix a typo in a
+ comment. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed a couple of cppcheck warnings.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Rename LOG_LEVEL_GPC to LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. Only the shadow knows what "GPC" is supposed to stand
+ for.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Upgrade a bunch of links to the homepage to https://.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the use of Brotli compression.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Changed license for pcrs to GPLv2+ after getting the permission from Andreas. This allows to
+ redistribute Privoxy under the GPLv3 which is required when linking to future mbedTLS versions which are
+ expected to be licensed under the Apache 2.0 license only.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Updated a bunch of tests that have to expect status code 403 now after r1.168/070e904afa5.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Lowercase the host name in the request line.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Only set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it's not already set so distributions can overwrite it through the
+ environment.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
-
+ <p>Documentation changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Set NO_DELAY flag for the accepting socket. This significantly
- reduces the latency if the operating system is not configured to
- set the flag by default. Reported by Johan Sintorn in #894.</p>
+ <p>Explain that Privoxy has to be distributed under the GPLv3 (or later) when linked with an MbedTLS
+ version that is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Import the GNU GPLv3 and include it the user manual.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Allow to build with mingw x86_64. Submitted by Rustam
- Abdullaev in #135.</p>
+ <p>Clarify FEATURE_FORCE_LOAD's description. It allows to bypass blocking not filtering and only does it if
+ blocks aren't enforced. Reported by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Introduce the new forwarding type 'forward-webserver'.
- Currently it is only supported by the forward-override{} action
- and there's no config directive with the same name. The
- forwarding type is similar to 'forward', but the request line
- only contains the path instead of the complete URL.</p>
+ <p>FAQ: Remove Zwiebelfreunde e.V. from the list of fiduciary sponsors As of 2021 they no longer handle
+ donations for foreign organisations due to lack of resources.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The CGI editor no longer treats 'standard.action' special.
- Nowadays the official "standards" are part of default.action and
- there's no obvious reason to disallow editing them through the
- cgi editor anyway (if the user decided that the lack of
- authentication isn't an issue in her environment).</p>
+ <p>FAQ: Remove an obsolete comment with a link to the long-gone PDF manual.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Improved error messages when rejecting intercepted requests
- with unknown destination.</p>
+ <p>FAQ: Add a link to the TODO list.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>A couple of log messages now include the number of active
- threads.</p>
+ <p>FAQ: Change the sponsor amounts to USD slightly rounding the converted amounts up to get simple numbers.
+ Receiving USD is apparently easier for SPI and SPI is preferred by sponsors as they can send invoices.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Removed non-standard Proxy-Agent headers in HTTP snipplets to
- make testing more convenient.</p>
+ <p>Advertise the client-tags CGI page in the user manual.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Include the error code for pcre errors Privoxy does not
- recognize.</p>
+ <p>Stop advertising the show-version CGI page which no longer exists.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Config directives with numerical arguments are checked more
- carefully.</p>
+ <p>Add yet another reason why +prevent-compression may cause problems.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Privoxy's malloc() wrapper has been changed to prevent
- zero-size allocations which should only occur as the result of
- bugs.</p>
+ <p>Don't claim that contributors need ssh. It's only needed for committers.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Various cosmetic changes.</p>
+ <p>Replace obsolete CVS instructions with Git instructions.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove an obsolete comment</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Config file changes:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Change the suggested default-server-timeout to 5 to match the suggested keep-alive-timeout. Otherwise
+ using the defaults would result in Privoxy reducing the default-server-timeout and logging an error
+ message. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update the 'debug 1' description.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a missing 'client-specific-tag' directive.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Comment out trusted-cgi-referer pointing to example.org.</p>
</li>

<li>
- <p>The recommended way to upgrade <span class=

- maybe <span class="APPLICATION">patch</span>.</p>
