IMPORTANT CHANGES -Privoxy is between releases. The current code base should be considered -development quality. Please report any problems to the developers. - -February 2009, Privoxy 3.0.11 is released. - -As usual there are changes that effect the configuration. See the "ChangeLog", -and the "What's New" section and the "Upgrader's Notes" in the User Manual for -details and specifics. +July 2009, Privoxy 3.0.14 beta is released. -This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development. +This is a bugfix-release for the previous beta which introduced IPv6 support, +improved keep-alive support and a bunch of minor improvements. See the +"ChangeLog", and the "What's New" section and the "Upgrader's Notes" in the +User Manual for details. -Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and were only -released at the end of the development cycle when the code was already believed -to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release contained pretty much the -same code, but got a higher version number. In the future we intend to release -several snapshots between stable releases. There will probably still be about -two stable releases per year, but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the -two betas we have now. The intentions is to make testing without CVS access -easier. +Depending on the feedback it will be either followed by yet another beta +release, or by a stable release with the same feature set. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
