- Announcing Privoxy v.3.0.20 beta
+ Announcing Privoxy 3.0.29 stable
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a beta release that introduces some new features and fixes a number of bugs, some of which are reasonably significant. One new feature (tolerate-pipelining) is enabled by default. See below for details.
+Privoxy 3.0.29 stable fixes a couple of memory leaks and introduces
+https inspection which allows to filter encrypted requests and
+responses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-ChangeLog for Privoxy
+ChangeLog for Privoxy 3.0.29
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Version 3.0.20 Beta ***
-
-- Bug fixes:
- - Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before being
- closed. This fixes page truncation issues with clients that aggressively
- pipeline data on platforms that otherwise discard already written data.
- The issue mainly affected Opera users and was initially reported
- by Kevin in #3464439, szotsaki provided additional information to track
- down the cause.
- - Fix latency calculation for shared connections (disabled by default).
- It was broken since their introduction in 2009. The calculated latency
- for most connections would be 0 in which case the timeout detection
- failed to account for the real latency.
- - Reject URLs with invalid port. Previously they were parsed incorrectly and
- characters between the port number and the first slash were silently
- dropped as shown by curl test 187.
- - The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as
- valid value.
- - Fix a race condition on Windows that could cause Privoxy to become
- unresponsive after toggling it on or off through the taskbar icon.
- Reported by Tim H. in #3525694.
- - Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6 support.
- - Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() in case of
- socks5 connection failures with "debug 2" enabled.
- - Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() if a filter
- contained nul bytes in the replacement text.
+
+- Security/Reliability:
+ - Fixed memory leaks when a response is buffered and the buffer
+ limit is reached or Privoxy is running out of memory.

- General improvements:
- - Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
- connections.
- - New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were applied to
- the request.
- - New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in a
- different order than the one in which they arrived.
- - New directive tolerate-pipelining to allow client-side pipelining.
- If enabled (3.0.20 beta enables it by default), Privoxy will keep
- pipelined client requests around to deal with them once the current
- request has been served.
- - New --config-test option to let Privoxy exit after checking whether or not
- the configuration seems valid. The limitations noted in TODO #22 and #23
- still apply. Based on a patch by Ramkumar Chinchani.
- - New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
- of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
- - Increase the hard-coded maximum number of actions and filter files from
- 10 to 30 (each). It doesn't significantly affect Privoxy's memory usage
- and recompiling wasn't an option for all Privoxy users that reached the
- limit.
- - Add support for chunk-encoded client request bodies. Previously
- chunk-encoded request bodies weren't guaranteed to be forwarded correctly,
- so this can also be considered a bug fix although chunk-encoded request
- bodies aren't commonly used in the real world.
- - Add support for Tor's optimistic-data SOCKS extension, which can reduce the
- latency for requests on newly created connections. Currently only the
- headers are sent optimistically and only if the client request has already
- been read completely which rules out requests with large bodies.
- - After preventing the client from pipelining, don't signal keep-alive
- intentions. When looking at the response headers alone, it previously
- wasn't obvious from the client's perspective that no additional responses
- should be expected.
- - Stop considering client sockets tainted after receving a request with body.
- It hasn't been necessary for a while now and unnecessarily causes test
- failures when using curl's test suite.
- - Allow HTTP/1.0 clients to signal interest in keep-alive through the
- Proxy-Connection header. While such client are rare in the real world, it
- doesn't hurt and couple of curl tests rely on it.
- - Only remove duplicated Content-Type headers when filters are enabled.
- If they are not it doesn't cause ill effects and the user might not want it.
- Downgrade the removal message to LOG_LEVEL_HEADER to clarify that it's not
- an error in Privoxy and is unlikely to cause any problems in general.
- Anonymously reported in #3599335.
- - Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.
- - Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their code block.
- It's required when compiling with gcc 2.95 which is still used on some
- platforms. Initial patch submitted by Simon South in #3564815.
- - Optionally try to sanity-check strptime() results before trusting them.
- Broken strptime() implementations have caused problems in the past and
- the most recent offender seems to be FreeBSD's libc (standards/173421).
- - When filtering is enabled, let Range headers pass if the range starts at
- the beginning. This should work around (or at least reduce ) the video
- playback issues with various Apple clients as reported by Duc in #3426305.
- - Do not confuse a client hanging up with a connection time out. If a client
- closes its side of the connection without sending a request line, do not
- send the CLIENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_RESPONSE, but report the condition
- properly.
- - Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as they are
- escaped.
- - On Windows, the logfile is now written before showing the GUI error
- message which blocks until the user acknowledges it.
- Reported by Adriaan in #3593603.
- - Remove an unreasonable parameter limit in the CGI interface. The new
- parameter limit depends on the memory available and is currently unlikely
- to be reachable, due to other limits in both Privoxy and common clients.
- Reported by Andrew on ijbswa-users@.
- - Decrease the chances of parse failures after requests with unsupported
- methods were sent to the CGI interface.
+ - 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.
+ - pcrs: Request JIT compilation if it's supported and
+ the filter isn't dynamic. This can speed up filtering.
+ - Added support for Brotli decompression.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - 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
+ - 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.
+ - 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
+ - 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.
+ - Add SOCKS5 username/password support.
+ Based on a patch by Sam, improved by Ivan Romanov.
+ Closes Patch#141 and solves TODO#105.
+ - Bump the maximum number of action and filter files
+ to 100 each.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Fixed handling of filters with "split-large-forms 1"
+ when using the CGI editor.
+ Reported by withoutname in #921.
+ - Better detect a mismatch of connection details when
+ figuring out whether or not a connection can be reused.
+ - Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the
+ "DNS failure" message.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - 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.
+ - Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().
+ - 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.
+ - Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation
+ Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.
+ - Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.
+ - Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.
+ - 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
+ - Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message
+ to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - 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
+ - Fixed a couple of cppcheck warnings.
+ - Rename LOG_LEVEL_GPC to LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST.
+ Only the shadow knows what "GPC" is supposed to stand for.
+ - Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.
+ - Upgrade a bunch of links to the homepage to https://.
+ - Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the
+ use of Brotli compression.
+ - 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.
+ - Updated a bunch of tests that have to expect status code 403
+ now after r1.168/070e904afa5.
+ - Lowercase the host name in the request line.
+ - Only set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it's not already set so
+ distributions can overwrite it through the environment.
+
+- Documentation changes:
+ - 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.
+ - Import the GNU GPLv3 and include it the user manual.
+ - 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
+ - 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.
+ - FAQ: Remove an obsolete comment with a link to the long-gone PDF manual.
+ - FAQ: Add a link to the TODO list.
+ - 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.
+ - Advertise the client-tags CGI page in the user manual.
+ - Stop advertising the show-version CGI page which no longer exists.
+ - Add yet another reason why +prevent-compression may cause problems.
+ - Don't claim that contributors need ssh. It's only needed for committers.
+ - Replace obsolete CVS instructions with Git instructions.
+ - Remove an obsolete comment
+
+- Config file changes:
+ - 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
+ - Update the 'debug 1' description.
+ - Add a missing 'client-specific-tag' directive.
+ - Comment out trusted-cgi-referer pointing to example.org.

-
-- Filter file improvements & bug fixes:
- - Add a referer tagger.
- - Reduce the likelihood that the google filter messes up HTML-generating
- JavaScript. Reported by Zeno Kugy in #3520260.
-
-- Documentation improvements:
- - Revised all OS X sections due to new packaging module (OSXPackageBuilder).
- - Update the list of supported operating systems to clarify that all Windows
- versions after 95 are expected to work and note that the platform-specific
- code for AmigaOS and QNX currently isn't maintained.
- - Update 'Signals' section, the only explicitly handled signals are SIGINT,
- SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
- - Add Haiku to the list of operating systems on which Privoxy is known to
- run.
- - Add DragonFly to the list of BSDs on which Privoxy is known to run.
- - Removed references to redhat-specific documentation set since it no longer
- exists.
- - Removed references to building PDFs since we no longer do so.
- - Multiple listen-address directives are supported since 3.0.18, correct the
- documentation to say so.
- - Remove bogus section about long and short being preferable to int.
- - Corrected some Internet JunkBuster references to Privoxy.
- - Removed references to www.junkbusters.com since it is no longer
- maintained. Reported by Angelina Matson.
- - Various grammar and spelling corrections
- - Add a client-header-tagger{} example for disabling filtering for range
- requests.
- - Correct a URL in the "Privoxy with Tor" FAQ.
- - Spell 'refresh-tags' correctly. Reported by Don in #3571927.
- - Sort manpage options alphabetically.
- - Remove an incorrect sentence in the toggle section. The toggle state
- doesn't affect whether or not the Windows version uses the tray icon.
- Reported by Zeno Kugy in #3596395.
- - Add new contributors since 3.0.19.
-
-- Log message improvements:
- - When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining, additionally log
- the socket number.
- - Log the client socket and its condition before closing it. This makes it
- more obvious that the socket actually gets closed and should help when
- diagnosing problems like #3464439.
- - In case of SOCKS5 failures, do not explicitly log the server's response.
- It hasn't helped so far and the response can already be logged by enabling
- "debug 32768" anyway. This reverts v1.81 and the follow-up bug fix v1.84.
- - Relocate the connection-accepted message from listen_loop() to serve().
- This way it's printed by the thread that is actually serving the
- connection which is nice when grepping for thread ids in log files.
-
-- Code cleanups:
- - Remove compatibility layer for versions prior to 3.0 since it has been
- obsolete for more than 10 years now.
- - Remove the ijb_isupper() and ijb_tolower() macros from parsers.c since
- they aren't used in this file.
- - Removed the 'Functions declared include:' comment sections since they tend
- to be incomplete, incorrect and out of date and the benefit seems
- questionable.
- - Various comment grammar and comprehensibility improvements.
- - Remove a pointless fflush() call in chat(). Flushing all streams pretty
- much all the time for no obvious reason is ridiculous.
- - Relocate ijb_isupper()'s definition to project.h and get the ijb_tolower()
- definition from there, too.
- - Relocate ijb_isdigit()'s definition to project.h.
- - Rename ijb_foo macros to privoxy_foo.
- - Add malloc_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where malloc()
- failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
- - Add strdup_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where strdup()
- failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
- - Replace strdup() calls with strdup_or_die() calls where it's safe and
- simplifies the code.
- - Fix white-space around parentheses.
- - Add missing white-space behind if's and the following parentheses.
- - Unwrap a memcpy() call in resolve_hostname_to_ip().
- - Declare pcrs_get_delimiter()'s delimiters[] static const.
- - Various optimisations to remove dead code and merge inefficient code
- structures for improved clarity, performance or code compactness.
- - Various data type corrections.
- - Change visibility of several code segments when compiling without
- FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE enabled for clarity.
- - In pcrs_get_delimiter(), do not use delimiters ouside the ASCII range.
- Fixes a clang complaint.
- - Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to see.
- Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.
- - Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted by Matthew
- Fischer in #3507304.
- - Shorten ssplit()'s prototype by removing the last two arguments. We always
- want to skip empty fields and ignore leading delimiters, so having
- parameters for this only complicates the API.
- - Use an enum for the type of the action value.
- - Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it isn't used as
- boolean.
- - Turn family mismatches in match_sockaddr() into fatal errors.
- - Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass a header
- containing either \r or \n.
- - Change the hashes used in load_config() to unsigned int. That's what
- hash_string() actually returns and using a potentiallly larger type
- is at best useless.
- - Use privoxy_tolower() instead of vanilla tolower() with manual casting of
- the argument.
- - Catch ssplit() failures in parse_cgi_parameters().

+ of default.action.master.
+
+- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
+ - Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.
+ - Highlight new log messages.
+ - Make gather_loglevel_clf_stats() more tolerant. While at it,
+ count all CLF messages as requests, even if the request is invalid.
+ - Only show HTTP version distribution if at least one version has been detected.
+ - Only show crunch statistics if crunches were detected.
+ - Warn if the request counts differ.
+ - Generate statistics if the log only contains LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages
+ so it can be used with vanilla webserver logs.
+ Previously Privoxy-specific "Request:" messages were required.
+ - Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions
+ - Bump version to 0.9.1
+ - Include status code distribution in the stats.
+ - Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy
+ transferred excluding HTTP headers.
+ - Get with the program and expect all requests to be logged with LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST.
+ It's no longer necessary to count both LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST and
+ LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH messages to get the total number of requests.
+ - Leverage the LOG_LEVEL_CLF message to gather statistics that where
+ previously taken from LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines. This results in less
+ confusing results if https inspection is enabled in which case there
+ are two LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines with request lines.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Properly highlight the filter results message. Previously a brace got lost.
+ - Prefer the number of CLF lines to get the total number of requests
+ as it works with older Privoxy versions as well.
- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- - Add an 'Overwrite condition' directive to skip any matching tests before
- it. As it has a global scope, using it is more convenient than clowning
- around with the Ignore directive.
- - Log to STDOUT instead of STDERR.
- - Include the Privoxy version in the output.
- - Various grammar and spelling corrections in documentation and code.
- - Additional tests for range requests with filtering enabled.
- - Tests with mostly invalid range request.
- - Add a couple of hide-if-modified-since{} tests with different date formats.
- - Cleaned up the format of the regression-tests.action file to match the
- format of default.action.
- - Remove the "Copyright" line from print_version(). When using --help, every
- line of screen space matters and thus shouldn't be wasted on things the
- user doesn't care about.
+ - Turn curl's globbing mode off so we can allow more characters in URLs.
+ - Allow '[' and ']' in URLs.
+ - Include the action file when complaining about missing Sticky Actions.
+ - Fix a sentence in the documentation.
+ - Bump version to 0.7.1
+
+- url-pattern-translator:
+ - Detect a couple of pattern prefixes case-insensitively.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Skip CLIENT-TAG patterns.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Skip patterns that have already been converted.
+ It should now be safe to "convert" a file multiple times.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Add the new 'PCRE-HOST-PATTERN:' prefix.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
-- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
- - Improve the --statistics performance by skipping sanity checks for input
- that shouldn't affect the results anyway. Add a --strict-checks option
- that enables some of the checks again, just in case anybody cares.
- - The distribution of client requests per connection is included in
- the --statistic output.
- - The --accept-unknown-messages option has been removed and the behavior
- is now the default.
- - Accept and (mostly) highlight new log messages introduced with
- Privoxy 3.0.20.
-
-- uagen:
- - Bump generated Firefox version to 17.
-
-- GNUmakefile improvements:
- - The dok-tidy target no longer taints documents with a tidy-mark
- - Change RA_MODE from 0664 to 0644. Suggested by Markus Dittrich in
- #3505445.
- - Remove tidy's clean flag as it changes the scope of attributes.
- Link-specific colors end up being applied to all text. Reported by Adam
- Piggott in #3569551.
- - Leave it up to the user whether or not smart tags are inserted.
- - Let w3m itself do the line wrapping for the config file. It works better
- than fmt as it can honour pre tags causing less unintentional line breaks.
- - Ditch a pointless '-r' passed to rm to delete files.
- - The config-file target now requires less manual intervention and updates
- the original config.
- - Change WDUMP to generate ASCII. Add WDUMP_UTF8 to allow UTF-8 in the
- AUTHORS file so the names are right.
- - Stop pretending that lynx and links are supported for the documentation.
-
-- configure improvements:
- - On Haiku, do not pass -lpthread to the compiler. Haiku's pthreads
- implementation is contained in its system library, libroot, so no
- additional library needs to be searched.
- Patch submitted by Simon South in #3564815.
- - Additional Haiku-specific improvements. Disable checks intended for
- multi-user systems as Haiku is presently single-user. Group Haiku-specific
- settings in their own section, following the pattern for Solaris, OS/2 and
- AmigaOS. Add additional library-related settings to remove the need for
- providing configure with custom LDFLAGS.
- Submitted by Simon South in #3574538.
