Subject: - Note that the "100% cpu problem" is worth
X-Git-Tag: v_3_0_9~52
X-Git-Url: http://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c58f2c7ac54cb3da81a4829bc79c4fbe2c54b106;p=privoxy.git

- Note that the "100% cpu problem" is worth
  reporting if it happens with a recent release.
- Mention the hostname option as a workaround for
  the "can't get my own hostname" issue.
- The profile formerly known as "Adventuresome"
  is called "Advanced" now.
- Some white-space fixes.
