+ Release</a></h1>
+
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.22</span> stable is mainly a
+ bug-fix release, it also has a couple of new features, though. Note that
+ the first two entries in the ChangeLog below refer to security
+ issues:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed a memory leak when rejecting client connections due to
+ the socket limit being reached (CID 66382). This affected Privoxy
+ 3.0.21 when compiled with IPv6 support (on most platforms this is
+ the default).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed an immediate-use-after-free bug (CID 66394) and two
+ additional unconfirmed use-after-free complaints made by Coverity
+ scan (CID 66391, CID 66376).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Actually show the FORCE_PREFIX value on the show-status
+ page.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Properly deal with Keep-Alive headers with timeout= parameters
+ If the timeout still can't be parsed, use the configured timeout
+ instead of preventing the client from keeping the connection
+ alive. Fixes #3615312/#870 reported by Bernard Guillot.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Not using any filter files no longer results in warning
+ messages unless an action file is referencing header taggers or
+ filters. Reported by Stefan Kurtz in #3614835.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed a bug that prevented Privoxy from reusing some reusable
+ connections. Two bit masks with different purpose unintentionally
+ shared the same bit.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>A couple of additional bugs were discovered by Coverity Scan.
+ The fixes that are not expected to affect users are not
+ explicitly mentioned here, for details please have a look at the
+ CVS logs.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Introduced negative tag patterns NO-REQUEST-TAG and
+ NO-RESPONSE-TAG. They apply if no matching tag is found after
+ parsing client or server headers.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add support for external filters which allow to process the
+ response body with a script or program written in any language
+ the platform supports. External filters are enabled with
+ +external-filter{} after they have been defined in one of the
+ filter files with a header line starting with "EXTERNAL-FILTER:".
+ External filter support is experimental, not compiled by default
+ and known not to work on all platforms.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Reject requests with unsupported Expect header values. Fixes a
+ couple of Co-Advisor tests.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Normalize the HTTP-version in forwarded requests and
+ responses. This is an explicit RFC 2616 MUST and RFC 7230
+ mandates that intermediaries send their own HTTP-version in
+ forwarded messages.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Server 'Keep-Alive' headers are no longer forwarded. From a
+ user's point of view it doesn't really matter, but RFC 2616
+ (obsolete) mandates that the header is removed and this fixes a
+ Co-Advisor complaint.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Change declared template file encoding to UTF-8. The templates
+ already used a subset of UTF-8 anyway and changing the
+ declaration allows to properly display UTF-8 characters used in
+ the action files. This change may require existing action files
+ with ISO-8859-1 characters that aren't valid UTF-8 to be
+ converted to UTF-8. Requested by Sam Chen in #582.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Do not pass rejected keep-alive timeouts to the server. It
+ might not have caused any problems (we know of), but doing the
+ right thing shouldn't hurt either.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Let log_error() use its own buffer size #define to make
+ changing the log buffer size slightly less inconvenient.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Turned single-threaded into a "proper" toggle directive with
+ arguments.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>CGI templates no longer enforce new windows for some
+ links.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove an undocumented workaround ('HOST' header removal) for
+ an Apple iTunes bug that according to #729900 got fixed in
+ 2003.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>The pattern 'promotions.' is no longer being blocked. Reported
+ by rakista in #3608540.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .microsofttranslator.com/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable filter{banners-by-size} for
+ .dgb-tagungszentren.de/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add adn.speedtest.net as a site-specific unblocker. Support
+ request #3612908.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable filter{banners-by-size} for creativecommons.org/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Block requests to data.gosquared.com/. Reported by cbug in
+ #3613653.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock .conrad./newsletter/. Reported by David Bo in
+ #3614238.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock .bundestag.de/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock .rote-hilfe.de/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .facebook.com/plugins/like.php.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock Stackexchange popup URLs that aren't used to serve
+ ads. Reported by David Wagner in #3615179.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for creativecommons.org/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock .stopwatchingus.info/.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Block requests for .adcash.com/script/. Reported by
+ Tyrexionibus in #3615289.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable HTML filters if the response was tagged as JavaScript.
+ Filtering JavaScript code with filters intended to deal with HTML
+ is usually a waste of time and, more importantly, may break
+ stuff.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Use a custom redirect{} for
+ .washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs\.php\?src= Previously enabling
+ the 'Advanced' settings (or manually enabling +fast-redirects{})
+ prevented some images from being loaded properly.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock "adina*." Fixes #919 reported by Morton A.
+ Goldberg.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Block '/.*DigiAd'.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock 'adele*.'. Reported by Adele Lime in #1663.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable banners-by-size for kggp.de/.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Filter file improvements & bug fixes:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Decrease the chances that js-annoyances creates invalid
+ JavaScript. Submitted by John McGowan on ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the msn filter hide 'related' ads again.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove a stray '1' in the 'html-annoyances' filter.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Prevent img-reorder from messing up img tags with empty src
+ attributes. Fixes #880 reported by Duncan.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Updated the 'Would you like to donate?' section.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Note that invalid forward-override{} parameter syntax isn't
+ detected until the parameter is used.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add another +redirect{} example: a shortcut for illumos
+ bugs.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Make it more obvious that many operating systems support log
+ rotation out of the box.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed dead links. Reported by Mark Nelson in #3614557.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Rephrased the 'Why is the configuration so complicated?'
+ answer to be slightly less condescending. Anonymously suggested
+ in #3615122.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Be more explicit about accept-intercepted-requests's lack of
+ MITM support.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Make 'demoronizer' FAQ entries more generic.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add an example hostname to the --pre-chroot-nslookup
+ description.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add an example for a host pattern that matches an IP
+ address.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Rename the 'domain pattern' to 'host pattern' as it may
+ contain IP addresses as well.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Recommend forward-socks5t when using Tor. It seems to work
+ fine and modifying the Tor configuration to profit from it hasn't
+ been necessary for a while now.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add another redirect{} example to stress that redirect loops
+ can and should be avoided.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The usual spelling and grammar fixes. Parts of them were
+ reported by Reuben Thomas in #3615276.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Mention the PCRS option letters T and D in the filter
+ section.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Clarify that handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok is still useful
+ and will not be removed without replacement.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Note that security issues shouldn't be reported using the bug
+ tracker.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Clarify what Privoxy does if both +block{} and +redirect{}
+ apply.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Removed the obsolete bookmarklets section.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let --with-group properly deal with secondary groups. Patch
+ submitted by Anatoly Arzhnikov in #3615187.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix web-actions target.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a web-faq target that only updates the FAQ on the
+ webserver.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove already-commented-out non-portable DOSFILTER
+ alternatives.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove the obsolete targets dok-put and dok-get.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>

+
+ <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>
