Privoxy 3.0.20 is a beta release. The - changes since 3.0.19 stable are:
- +Privoxy 3.0.29 fixes a couple of memory leaks and introduces https inspection + which allows to filter encrypted requests and responses.
+Changes in Privoxy 3.0.29 stable:
Bug fixes:
- +Security/Reliability:
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.
+Fixed memory leaks when a response is buffered and the buffer limit is reached or Privoxy is running out + of memory. Commits bbd53f1010b and 4490d451f9b. OVE-20201118-0001. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
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.
+Fixed a memory leak in the show-status CGI handler when no action files are configured. Commit + c62254a686. OVE-20201118-0002. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
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.
+Fixed a memory leak in the show-status CGI handler when no filter files are configured. Commit + 1b1370f7a8a. OVE-20201118-0003. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives - accept 0 as valid value.
+Fixes a memory leak when client tags are active. Commit 245e1cf32. OVE-20201118-0004. Sponsored by: + Robert Klemme
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.
+Fixed a memory leak if multiple filters are executed and the last one is skipped due to a pcre error. + Commit 5cfb7bc8fe. OVE-20201118-0005.
Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6 - support.
+Prevent an unlikely dereference of a NULL-pointer that could result in a crash if + accept-intercepted-requests was enabled, Privoxy failed to get the request destination from the Host header + and a memory allocation failed. Commit 7530132349. CID 267165. OVE-20201118-0006.
Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() in - case of socks5 connection failures with "debug 2" enabled.
+Fixed memory leaks in the client-tags CGI handler when client tags are configured and memory allocations + fail. Commit cf5640eb2a. CID 267168. OVE-20201118-0007.
Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() if a - filter contained nul bytes in the replacement text.
+Fixed memory leaks in the show-status CGI handler when memory allocations fail. Commit 064eac5fd0 and + commit fdee85c0bf3. CID 305233. OVE-20201118-0008.
General improvements:
-Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and - server connections.
+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.
New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were - applied to the request.
+pcrs: Request JIT compilation if it's supported and the filter isn't dynamic. This can speed up + filtering.
New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in - a different order than the one in which they arrived.
+Added support for Brotli decompression. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
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.
+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
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.
+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.
New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire - before the end of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in - #1049575.
+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
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.
+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 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 SOCKS5 username/password support. Based on a patch by Sam, improved by Ivan Romanov. Closes + Patch#141 and solves TODO#105.
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.
+Bump the maximum number of action and filter files to 100 each. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
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.
+Fixed handling of filters with "split-large-forms 1" when using the CGI editor. Reported by withoutname + in #921.
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.
+Better detect a mismatch of connection details when figuring out whether or not a connection can be + reused.
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.
+Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the "DNS failure" message. Sponsored by: Robert + Klemme
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.
+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.
Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.
+Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().
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.
+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.
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).
+Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.
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.
+Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.
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.
+Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.
Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as - they are escaped.
+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
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.
+Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
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@.
+Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error. Sponsored + by: Robert Klemme
Decrease the chances of parse failures after requests with - unsupported methods were sent to the CGI interface.
+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

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.
+Import the GNU GPLv3 and include it the user manual.
Update 'Signals' section, the only explicitly handled signals - are SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
+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
Add Haiku to the list of operating systems on which Privoxy is - known to run.
+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.
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.
+FAQ: Add a link to the TODO list.
Removed references to building PDFs since we no longer do - so.
+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.
Multiple listen-address directives are supported since 3.0.18, - correct the documentation to say so.
+Advertise the client-tags CGI page in the user manual.
Remove bogus section about long and short being preferable to - int.
+Stop advertising the show-version CGI page which no longer exists.
Corrected some Internet JunkBuster references to Privoxy.
+Add yet another reason why +prevent-compression may cause problems.
Removed references to www.junkbusters.com since it is no - longer maintained. Reported by Angelina Matson.

-Add new contributors since 3.0.19.
+Remove an obsolete comment
Log message improvements:
- +Config file changes:
When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining, - additionally log the socket number.
+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
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.
+Update the 'debug 1' description.
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.
+Add a missing 'client-specific-tag' directive.
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.
+Comment out trusted-cgi-referer pointing to example.org.
Code cleanups:
- +Action file improvements:
Remove compatibility layer for versions prior to 3.0 since it - has been obsolete for more than 10 years now.
+Block requests to /(.*/)?piwik\.php
Remove the ijb_isupper() and ijb_tolower() macros from - parsers.c since they aren't used in this file.
+Block requests to .connectaserver.de/
Removed the 'Functions declared include:' comment sections - since they tend to be incomplete, incorrect and out of date and - the benefit seems questionable.
+Block requests to pixel.inforsea.com/
Various comment grammar and comprehensibility - improvements.
+Block requests to t.vi-serve.com/
Remove a pointless fflush() call in chat(). Flushing all - streams pretty much all the time for no obvious reason is - ridiculous.
+Block requests to .ioam.de/
Relocate ijb_isupper()'s definition to project.h and get the - ijb_tolower() definition from there, too.
+Block requests to t.9gag.com/img.gif
Relocate ijb_isdigit()'s definition to project.h.
+Block requests to .pixel.parsely.com/ as image
Rename ijb_foo macros to privoxy_foo.
+Block requests to pixel.wp.com/
Add malloc_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths - where malloc() failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
+Disable fast-redirects for .librarything.com/
Add strdup_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths - where strdup() failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
+Disable fast-redirects for issue.freebsdfoundation.org/
Replace strdup() calls with strdup_or_die() calls where it's - safe and simplifies the code.
+Disable fast-redirects for .twitter.com/.*origin=http
Fix white-space around parentheses.
+Unblock belco24.de/
Add missing white-space behind if's and the following - parentheses.

+Disable fast-redirects for collector.githubapp.com/ and block requests to it as image instead
Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to - see. Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.
+Unblock 'ada*.'
Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted - by Matthew Fischer in #3507304.
+Add fast-redirects{} exception for sourcepoint.vice.com/
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.
+Unblock adaway.org/ Reported by DRS David Soft in AF#945.
Use an enum for the type of the action value.
+Change two block reasons that previously were the same. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it - isn't used as boolean.
+Added a +delay-response{} test.
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().
+Updated the location of the development version of default.action.master.
Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- +Privoxy-Log-Parser:
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.
+Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.
Log to STDOUT instead of STDERR.
+Highlight new log messages.
Include the Privoxy version in the output.
+Make gather_loglevel_clf_stats() more tolerant. While at it, count all CLF messages as requests, even if + the request is invalid.
Various grammar and spelling corrections in documentation and - code.
+Only show HTTP version distribution if at least one version has been detected.
Additional tests for range requests with filtering - enabled.
+Only show crunch statistics if crunches were detected.
Tests with mostly invalid range request.
+Warn if the request counts differ.
Add a couple of hide-if-modified-since{} tests with different - date formats.
+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.
Cleaned up the format of the regression-tests.action file to - match the format of default.action.
+Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions
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.
+Bump version to 0.9.1
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.
+Include status code distribution in the stats.
The distribution of client requests per connection is included - in the --statistic output.
+Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy transferred excluding HTTP headers.
The --accept-unknown-messages option has been removed and the - behavior is now the default.
+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.
Accept and (mostly) highlight new log messages introduced with - Privoxy 3.0.20.
+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
uagen:
- -Bump generated Firefox version to 17.
+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.
GNUmakefile improvements:
- +Privoxy-Regression-Test:
The dok-tidy target no longer taints documents with a - tidy-mark
+Turn curl's globbing mode off so we can allow more characters in URLs.
Change RA_MODE from 0664 to 0644. Suggested by Markus Dittrich - in #3505445.
+Allow '[' and ']' in URLs.
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.
+Include the action file when complaining about missing Sticky Actions.
Leave it up to the user whether or not smart tags are - inserted.
+Fix a sentence in the documentation.
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.
+Bump version to 0.7.1
configure improvements:
- +url-pattern-translator:
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.
+Detect a couple of pattern prefixes case-insensitively. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
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.
+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
