Privoxy 3.0.19 is a stable release. - The changes since 3.0.18 stable are:
- +Privoxy 3.0.31 fixes two security issues that were discovered while preparing + the 3.0.30 release. The issues also affect earlier Privoxy releases.
+Changes in Privoxy 3.0.31 stable:
Bug fixes:
- +Security/Reliability:
Prevent a segmentation fault when de-chunking buffered - content. It could be triggered by malicious web servers if - Privoxy was configured to filter the content and running on a - platform where SIZE_T_MAX isn't larger than UINT_MAX, which - probably includes most 32-bit systems. On those platforms, all - Privoxy versions before 3.0.19 appear to be affected. To be on - the safe side, this bug should be presumed to allow code - execution as proving that it doesn't seems unrealistic.
+Prevent an assertion from getting triggered by a crafted CGI request. Commit 5bba5b89193fa. + OVE-20210130-0001. Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
Do not expect a response from the SOCKS4/4A server until it - got something to respond to. This regression was introduced in - 3.0.18 and prevented the SOCKS4/4A negotiation from working. - Reported by qqqqqw in #3459781.
+Fixed a memory leak when decompression fails "unexpectedly". Commit f431d61740cc0. + OVE-20210128-0001.
General improvements:
- +Bug fixes:
Fix an off-by-one in an error message about connect - failures.
-Use a GNUMakefile variable for the webserver root directory - and update the path. Sourceforge changed it which broke various - web-related targets.
-Update the CODE_STATUS description.
+Fixed detection of insufficient data for decompression. Previously Privoxy could try to decompress a + partly uninitialized buffer.
The following changes were made between 3.0.17 and 3.0.18:
- +Changes in Privoxy 3.0.30 stable:
Bug fixes:
-If a generated redirect URL contains characters RFC 3986 - doesn't permit, they are (re)encoded. Not doing this makes - Privoxy versions from 3.0.5 to 3.0.17 susceptible to HTTP - response splitting (CWE-113) attacks if the - +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action is used.
+Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests. Previously Privoxy would only check + the path which resulted in rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs. Reported by withoutname in + #1736.
Fix a logic bug that could cause Privoxy to reuse a server - socket after it got tainted by a server-header-tagger-induced - block that was triggered before the whole server response had - been read. If keep-alive was enabled and the request following - the blocked one was to the same host and using the same - forwarding settings, Privoxy would send it on the tainted server - socket. While the server would simply treat it as a pipelined - request, Privoxy would later on fail to properly parse the - server's response as it would try to parse the unread data from - the first response as server headers for the second one. - Regression introduced in 3.0.17.
+Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs. Previously they would always be + treated like a changed host.
When implying keep-alive in client_connection(), remember that - the client didn't. Fixes a regression introduced in 3.0.13 that - would cause Privoxy to wait for additional client requests after - receiving a HTTP/1.1 request with "Connection: close" set and - connection sharing enabled. With clients which terminates the - client connection after detecting that the whole body has been - received it doesn't really matter, but with clients that don't - the connection would be kept open until it timed out.
+Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through https://. Previously Privoxy would + use the http headers which may be empty on a reused connection.
Fix a subtle race condition between - prepare_csp_for_next_request() and sweep(). A thread preparing - itself for the next client request could briefly appear to be - inactive. If all other threads were already using more recent - files, the thread could get its files swept away under its feet. - So far this has only been reproduced while stress testing in - valgrind while touching action files in a loop. It's unlikely to - have caused any actual problems in the real world.
+Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION. This unbreaks (at least) + https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in + browser warnings.
Disable filters if SDCH compression is used unless filtering - is forced. If SDCH was combined with a supported compression - algorithm, Privoxy previously could try to decompress it and - ditch the Content-Encoding header even though the SDCH - compression wasn't dealt with. Reported by zebul666 in - #3225863.
+Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time. Previously Privoxy would crash. + Reported by: Kai Raven
Make a copy of the --user value and only mess with that when - splitting user and group. On some operating systems modifying the - value directly is reflected in the output of ps and friends and - can be misleading. Reported by zepard in #3292710.
+Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would + wait for the client to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.
If forwarded-connect-retries is set, only retry if Privoxy is - actually forwarding the request. Previously direct connections - would be retried as well.
+When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not + recommended for production builds), the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active + connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the wrong time.
Fixed a small memory leak when retrying connections with IPv6 - support enabled.
+Let the uninstall target remove the config file even if DESTDIR is set and properly announce the + deletion of the configuration files.
Remove an incorrect assertion in - compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list() It could be triggered by a pcrs - job with an invalid pcre pattern (for example one that contains a - lone quantifier).
-If the --user argument user[.group] contains a dot, always - bail out if no group has been specified. Previously the intended, - but undocumented (and apparently untested), behaviour was to try - interpreting the whole argument as user name, but the detection - was flawed and checked for '0' instead of '\0', thus merely - preventing group names beginning with a zero.
-General improvements:
+In html_code_map[], use a numeric character reference instead - of ' which wasn't standardized before XHTML 1.0.
+Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected requests behind the client's back. The + documentation already sort of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that it didn't + work for https-inspected requests. Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.
Fix an invalid free when compiled with - FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION and shut down through - http://config.privoxy.org/die
+Add support for filtering client request bodies by using CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled + with the client-body-filter action. Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
In get_actions(), fix the "temporary" backwards compatibility - hack to accept block actions without reason. It also covered - other actions that should be rejected as invalid. Reported by - Billy Crook.
+Add the new action suppress-tag{} which can be used to prevent a tagger from adding a tag. Patch + submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
General improvements:
- -Privoxy can (re)compress buffered content before delivering it - to the client. Disabled by default as most users wouldn't benefit - from it.
+Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates. This can happen if Privoxy was + previously running with an invalid TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.
The +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action checks URL - segments separately. If there are other parameters behind the - redirect URL, this makes it unnecessary to cut them off by - additionally using a +redirect{} pcrs command. Initial patch - submitted by Jamie Zawinski in #3429848.
+Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.
When loading action sections, verify that the referenced - filters exist. Currently missing filters only result in an error - message, but eventually the severity will be upgraded to - fatal.
+Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page is requested with no tags configured.
Allow to bind to multiple separate addresses. Patch set - submitted by Petr Pisar in #3354485.
+Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates using redirects. Currently the redirects + lead to the FAQ entries but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using redirects makes + this more convenient.
Set socket_error to errno if connecting fails in - rfc2553_connect_to(). Previously rejected direct connections - could be incorrectly reported as DNS issues if Privoxy was - compiled with IPv6 support.
+Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this + a fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.
Adjust url_code_map[] so spaces are replaced with %20 instead - of '+' While '+' can be used by client's submitting form data, - this is not actually what Privoxy is using the lookups for. This - is more of a cosmetic issue and doesn't fix any known - problems.
+The code compiles with older C compilers again.
When compiled without FEATURE_FAST_REDIRECTS, do not silently - ignore +fast-redirect{} directives
+The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.
Added a workaround for GNU libc's strptime() reporting - negative year values when the parsed year is only specified with - two digits. On affected systems cookies with such a date would - not be turned into session cookies by the +session-cookies-only - action. Reported by Vaeinoe in #3403560
+The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball. It's usually out of date when the source + tarball is generated for the release.
Fixed bind failures with certain GNU libc versions if no - non-loopback IP address has been configured on the system. This - is mainly an issue if the system is using DHCP and Privoxy is - started before the network is completely configured. Reported by - Raphael Marichez in #3349356. Additional insight from Petr - Pisar.
+Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
Privoxy log messages now use the ISO 8601 date format - %Y-%m-%d. It's only slightly longer than the old format, but - contains the full date including the year and allows sorting by - date (when grepping in multiple log files) without hassle.
+windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.
In get_last_url(), do not bother trying to decode URLs that do - not contain at least one '%' sign. It reduces the log noise and a - number of unnecessary memory allocations.
+windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.
In case of SOCKS5 failures, dump the socks response in the log - message.
+Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.
Simplify the signal setup in main().
+When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images' directory which is no longer used. The + images were relocated to the user-manual directory years ago.
Streamline socks5_connect() slightly.
+Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.
In socks5_connect(), require a complete socks response from - the server. Previously Privoxy didn't care how much data the - server response contained as long as the first two bytes - contained the expected values. While at it, shrink the buffer - size so Privoxy can't read more than a whole socks response.
+Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.
In chat(), do not bother to generate a client request in case - of direct CONNECT requests. It will not be used anyway.
+Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().
Reduce server_last_modified()'s stack size.
+Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.
Shorten get_http_time() by using strftime().
+Improved a couple of error messages.
Constify the known_http_methods pointers in - unknown_method().
+Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a key already exists.
Constify the time_formats pointers in parse_header_time().
+The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are enabled at the same time.
Constify the formerly_valid_actions pointers in - action_used_to_be_valid().
+Log a message right before exiting gracefully.
Introduce a GNUMakefile MAN_PAGE variable that defaults to - privoxy.1. The Debian package uses section 8 for the man page and - this should simplify the patch.
+A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly less memory.
Deduplicate the INADDR_NONE definition for Solaris by moving - it to jbsockets.h
+When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid the error message is now sent with + status code 403 instead of 200.
In block_url(), ditch the obsolete workaround for ancient - Netscape versions that supposedly couldn't properly deal with - status code 403.
+The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when + building Debian packages.
Remove a useless NULL pointer check in load_trustfile().
+When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used instead of mbedtls_md5() which is + deprecated and causes a warning on Debian GNU/Linux.
Action file improvements:
+Remove two useless NULL pointer checks in - load_one_re_filterfile().
+Block requests to eu-tlp03.kameleoon.com/.
Change url_code_map[] from an array of pointers to an array of - arrays It removes an unnecessary layer of indirection and on - 64bit system reduces the size of the binary a bit.
+Unblock metrics.sr.ht/.
Fix various typos. Fixes taken from Debian's 29_typos.dpatch - by Roland Rosenfeld.
+Disable fast-redirects for .fsf.org/.
Add a dok-tidy GNUMakefile target to clean up the messy HTML - generated by the other dok targets.
+Disable fast-redirects for .gravater.com/.
GNUisms in the GNUMakefile have been removed.
+Disable fast-redirects for .ksta.de/.
Change the HTTP version in static responses to 1.1
+Block requests to tag.crsspxl.com/.
Synced config.sub and config.guess with upstream - 2011-11-11/386c7218162c145f5f9e1ff7f558a3fbb66c37c5.
+Block requests to analytics.slashdotmedia.com/.
Add a dedicated function to parse the values of toggles. - Reduces duplicated code in load_config() and provides better - error handling. Invalid or missing toggle values are now a fatal - error instead of being silently ignored.
+Block requests to ml314.com/.
Terminate HTML lines in static error messages with \n instead - of \r\n.
+Block requests to .adroll.com/.
Simplify cgi_error_unknown() a bit.
+Block requests to fastlane.rubiconproject.com/.
In LogPutString(), don't bother looking at pszText when not - actually logging anything.
+Block requests to api.theadex.com/.
Change ssplit()'s fourth parameter from int to size_t. Fixes a - clang complaint.
+Block requests to ih.adscale.de/.
Add a warning that the statistics currently can't be trusted. - Mention Privoxy-Log-Parser's --statistics option as an - alternative for the time being.
+Block requests to .s400.meetrics.net/.
In rfc2553_connect_to(), start setting cgi->error_message - on error.
+Block requests for pp.lp4.io/.
Change the expected status code returned for http://p.p/die - depending on whether or not FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION is - available.
+Block requests for trc-events.taboola.com/.
Filter file improvements:
+In cgi_die(), mark the client connection for closing. If the - client will fetch the style sheet through another connection it - gets the main thread out of the accept() state and should thus - trigger the actual shutdown.
+A allow-autocompletion filter has been added which changes autocomplete="off" to "on" on input fields to + allow autocompletion. Requested by Jamie Zawinski in #370. Filter based on a submission by Aaron + Linville.
Add a proper CGI message for cgi_die().
+Added an imdb filter.
Don't enforce a logical line length limit in - read_config_line().
+Added a sourceforge filter that reduces the amount of ads for proprietary software.
Slightly refactor server_last_modified() to remove useless - gmtime*() calls.
+Added a github filter that removes the annoying "Sign-Up" banner and the Cookie disclaimer.
In get_content_type(), also recognize '.jpeg' as JPEG - extension.
+Removed a duplicated pcrs command from the js-annoyances filter.
Add '.png' to the list of recognized file extensions in - get_content_type().
+The crude-parental filter now provides a short reason when blocking, inserts a link to Privoxy's + webinterface and adds a new line at the end of the generated page.
Privoxy-Log-Parser:
+In block_url(), consistently use the block reason "Request - blocked by Privoxy" In two places the reason was "Request for - blocked URL" which hides the fact that the request got blocked by - Privoxy and isn't necessarily correct as the block may be due to - tags.
+Highlight a few more messages.
In listen_loop(), reload the configuration files after - accepting a new connection instead of before. Previously the - first connection that arrived after a configuration change would - still be handled with the old configuration.
+Add a handler for tagging messages.
In chat()'s receive-data loop, skip a client socket check if - the socket will be written to right away anyway. This can - increase the transfer speed for unfiltered content on fast - network connections.
+Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches Previously the error description was highlighted as + 'host'.
The socket timeout is used for SOCKS negotiations as well - which previously couldn't timeout.
+Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully and note that the statistics will be imprecise.
Don't keep the client connection alive if any configuration - file changed since the time the connection came in. This is - closer to Privoxy's behaviour before keep-alive support for - client connection has been added and also less confusing in - general.
+Fixed perldoc typo.
Treat all Content-Type header values containing the pattern - 'script' as a sign of text. Reported by pribog in #3134970.
+Bump version to 0.9.2.
Action file improvements:
- +Privoxy-Regression-Test:
Moved the site-specific block pattern section below the one - for the generic patterns so for requests that are matched in - both, the block reason for the domain is shown which is usually - more useful than showing the one for the generic pattern.
+Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address unless http_proxy is set through the + environment.
Remove -prevent-compression from the fragile alias. It's no - longer used anywhere by default and isn't known to break stuff - anyway.
+Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix to use when building URLs that are supposed + to reach Privoxy's CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is supposed to work with the + default Privoxy configuration. If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled, and if + https inspection is activated with the +https-inspection action, this option can be used with + "https://p.p/" provided the system running Privoxy-Regression-Test has been configured to trust the + certificate used by Privoxy. Note that there are currently two tests in the official + regression-tests.action file that are expected to fail when using "https://p.p/" as privoxy-cgi-prefix.
Add a (disabled) section to block various Facebook tracking - URLs. Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3421764.
+Skip the connection-established response in get_status_code() when looking for the status code with a + CGI prefix that starts with https://. We care about the status code sent by the impersonated web + server.
Add a (disabled) section to rewrite and redirect - click-tracking URLs used on news.google.com. Reported by Dan - Stahlke in #3421755.
+Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https:// and a "Host:" header.
Unblock linuxcounter.net/. Reported by Dan Stahlke in - #3422612.
+Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like + "TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$".
Block 'www91.intel.com/' which is used by Omniture. Reported - by Adam Piggott in #3167370.
+When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the requested page in the log message.
Disable the handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok option and mark it - as deprecated. Reminded by tceverling in #2790091.
+Added a --check-bad-ssl option that can be used to verify that Privoxy detects certificate problems when + accessing the test sites from badssl.com.
Add ".ivwbox.de/" to the "Cross-site user tracking" section. - Reported by Nettozahler in #3172525.
+Bumped version to 0.7.2
uagen:
+Unblock and fast-redirect ".awin1.com/.*=http://". Reported by - Adam Piggott in #3170921.
+Update example output.
Block "b.collective-media.net/".
+Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation.
Widen the Debian popcon exception to "qa.debian.org/popcon". - Seen in Debian's 05_default_action.dpatch by Roland - Rosenfeld.
+Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://.
Block ".gemius.pl/" which only seems to be used for user - tracking. Reported by johnd16 in #3002731. Additional input from - Lee and movax.
+Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems.
Disable banners-by-size filters for '.thinkgeek.com/'. The - filter only seems to catch pictures of the inventory.
+Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR).
Block requests for 'go.idmnet.bbelements.com/please/showit/'. - Reported by kacperdominik in #3372959.
+Bumped version to 1.2.2.
User documentation:
+Unblock adainitiative.org/.
+Remove reference to 'How to Report Bugs Effectively'. It was only rendered as text without URL in the + README anyway and there's no indication that users read it ...
Add a fast-redirects exception for - '.googleusercontent.com/.*=cache'.
+Let the dok-readme target fix the location embedded into the README file. This used to be done by CVS + but since the git migration it has to be done through other means.
Add a fast-redirects exception for - webcache.googleusercontent.com/.
+Remove 'experimental' warning for client-specific-tag-related directives. They seem to work reliably and + there is no obvious reason why we would change the syntax in the near future.
Unblock http://adassier.wordpress.com/ and - http://adassier.files.wordpress.com/.
+Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.
Filter file improvements:
- -Let the yahoo filter hide '.ads'.
+Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation that explains how the user can create the file + herself.
Let the msn filter hide overlay ads for Facebook 'likes' in - search results and elements with the id 's_notf_div'. They only - seem to be used to advertise site 'enhancements'.
+Don't explicitly mention the license for the code coming from 'Anonymous Coders' and Junkbusters. It's + obviously licensed under the GNU GPL like the rest of Privoxy or we wouldn't be allowed to distribute + it.
Let the js-events filter additionally disarm setInterval(). - Suggested by dg1727 in #3423775.
+Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output.
Documentation improvements:
- -Clarify the effect of compiling Privoxy with zlib support. - Suggested by dg1727 in #3423782.
+Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation.
Point out that the SourceForge messaging system works like a - black hole and should thus not be used to contact individual - developers.
+Explicitly mention Windows 10 as supported so search engines and users looking for it can find it.
Mention some of the problems one can experience when not - explicitly configuring an IP addresses as listen address.
+Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog.
Explicitly mention that hostnames can be used instead of IP - addresses for the listen-address, that only the first address - returned will be used and what happens if the address is invalid. - Requested by Calestyo in #3302213.
+Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html.
Log message improvements:
- -If only the server connection is kept alive, do not pretend to - wait for a new client request.
+Upgrade a couple of links to https://.
Remove a superfluous log message in forget_connection().
+Don't prefer the SourceForge patch tracker over the privoxy-devel mailing list. While at it, link to the + SourceForge patch tracker.
In chat(), properly report missing server responses as such - instead of calling them empty.
+Mention http-inspection in the 'my browser warns me about unauthenticated content' FAQ entry.
In forwarded_connect(), fix a log message nobody should ever - see.
+Simplify the 'Is there is a license or fee?' FAQ entry.
Fix a log message in socks5_connect(), a failed write - operation was logged as failed read operation.
+Add another +redirect{} example.
Let load_one_actions_file() properly complain about a missing - '{' at the beginning of the file. Simply stating that a line is - invalid isn't particularly helpful.
+Explicitly mention that interested sponsors should include the link target in their first mail.
Do not claim to listen on a socket until Privoxy actually - does. Patch submitted by Petr Pisar #3354485
+Clarify that only Privoxy team members can object to new sponsors and link to the list of current team + members.
Prevent a duplicated LOG_LEVEL_CLF message when sending out - the "no-server-data" response.
+Note that sponsor URLs may not contain keyword spam.
Also log the client socket when dropping a connection.
+Garbage collect doc/webserver/images which isn't referenced anymore.
Include the destination host in the 'Request ... marked for - blocking. limit-connect{...} doesn't allow CONNECT ...' message - Patch submitted by Saperski in #3296250.
+Update the method to reach the proxy settings in Firefox.
Prevent a duplicated log message if none of the resolved IP - addresses were reachable.
+Update proxy_setup.jpg description to refer to Firefox.
In connect_to(), do not pretend to retry if - forwarded-connect-retries is zero or unset.
+Regenerate proxy_setup.jpg with a more recent Firefox (78.0).
When a specified user or group can't be found, put the name in - single-quotes when logging it.
+Regenerate files-in-use.jpg without obsolete standard.action with modern colors and a slightly better + quality.
In rfc2553_connect_to(), explain getnameinfo() errors - better.
+Update URL to the actionsfile tracker.
Remove a useless log message in chat().
+Update a support request URL.
When retrying to connect, also log the maximum number of - connection attempts.
+Rephrase the 'Can Privoxy run as service' FAQ entry and remove an obsolete paragraph.
Rephrase a log message in compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list(). - Divide the error code and its meaning with a colon. Call the pcrs - job dynamic and not the filter. Filters may contain dynamic and - non-dynamic pcrs jobs at the same time. Only mention the name of - the filter or tagger, but don't claim it's a filter when it could - be a tagger.
+Let the 'Where can I get updated Actions Files?' entry link to the gitweb version of + default.action.master.
In a fatal error message in load_one_actions_file(), cover - both URL and TAG patterns.
+Update a link to the default.action file.
In pcrs_strerror(), properly report unknown positive error - code values as such. Previously they were handled like 0 (no - error).
+Update URLs for trackers and mailing lists.
In compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list(), also log the actual error - code as pcrs_strerror() doesn't handle all errors reported by - pcre.
+Replace CVS reference with git.
Don't bother trying to continue chatting if the client didn't - ask for it. Reduces log noise a bit.
+Mention regression-tests.action in the config file.
Make two fatal error message in load_one_actions_file() more - descriptive.
+Explicitly mention in the config file that access to the CA key should be limited to Privoxy.
In cgi_send_user_manual(), log when rejecting a file name due - to '/' or '..'.
+List more client-specific-tag examples for inspiration.
In load_file(), log a message if opening a file failed. The - CGI error message alone isn't too helpful.
+Add additional headers to the client-header-order example.
In connection_destination_matches(), improve two log messages - to help understand why the destinations don't match.
+Note that actions aren't updated after rewrites.
Rephrase a log message in serve(). Client request arrival - should be differentiated from closed client connections now.
+Explicitly mention that upgrading from http to https with a client-header filter is not supported
In serve(), log if a client connection isn't reused due to a - configuration file change.
+Note that protocol and host have to be added when rewriting the destination host for https-inspected + requests.
Let mark_server_socket_tainted() always mark the server socket - tainted, just don't talk about it in cases where it has no - effect. It doesn't change Privoxy's behaviour, but makes - understanding the log file easier.
+Explicitly mention that the CA key is used to sign certificates.
+Put openssl command in 'command' tags.
+The man page has been moved from section 1 to man section 8.
configure:
- +Developer manual:
Added a --disable-ipv6-support switch for platforms where - support is detected but doesn't actually work.
+Flesh out the build instructions for Debian.
Do not check for the existence of strerror() and memmove() - twice
+Remove the packaging instructions for RPM-based systems. They don't work and we don't release RPM + packages anymore anyway.
Remove a useless test for setpgrp(2). Privoxy doesn't need it - and it can cause problems when cross-compiling.
+Remove the packaging instructions for Solaris. They don't work and we don't release Solaris packages + anymore anyway.
Rename the --disable-acl-files switch to - --disable-acl-support. Since about 2001, ACL directives are - specified in the standard config file.
+Update the suggested subject for the announce mails.
Update the URL of the 'Removing outdated PCRE version after - the next stable release' posting. The old URL stopped working - after one of SF's recent site "optimizations". Reported by Han - Liu.
+Update upload instructions. ftp://upload.sourceforge.net is no longer functional.
+Remove a couple of package-dependent upload instructions that don't actually work.
+Remove 'cd current' that no longer works.
+Add regression-tests.action to the list of files that should be installed.
+Stop claiming that there are text versions of the manuals. We stopped building them in 2008 + (9ed36a3c5e6f12).
+Note that the 'webserver' target creates the link needed for the user-manual.

Three other config file settings are now off by default: - enable-remote-toggle, - enable-remote-http-toggle, - and enable-edit-actions. If you - use or want these, you will need to explicitly enable them, and be - aware of the security issues involved.
