-------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog for Privoxy -------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Version 2.9.14 Beta *** - Fix Solaris compile problem (gateway.h and filters.h) - Makefile fixes for Solaris, FreeBSD (?) - Fix build failure where certain features were disabled. - New 'blocked-compact' template. - Various tweaks for actions file to get ready for stable 3.0 - Various other minor fixes. *** Version 2.9.13 Beta *** - *NEWS*: The project has been renamed to Privoxy! The new name is reflected throughout (file locations, etc). - ijb.action is now default.action. re_filterfile is now default.filter. - http://i.j.b/ is now http://p.p/ - The 'logo' option for replacing ad iamges is removed now. 'Pattern' (checkerboard) is now the default. - RPM spec file make over. *** Version 2.9.12 Beta *** - **READ**: The default listening PORT is NOW 8118!!! Changed from 8000 due to conflict with NAS (Network Audio Server, whatever that is.) - More CGI actions editor fixes and improvements. - Win32 command line fix ups. - re_filterfile now has modular sections that can be activated on a per site basis. Some new goodies there too. - +filter now takes arguments to match FILTER sections in re_filterfile for even more flexibility. - Added a new image blocker option: +image-blocker{pattern}, which displays a checkerboard patthern and scales better than the logo. - PNG images will be used in place of GIF for JB built-in images if configured with --enable-no-gif. - Clean up compiler warnings (mostly). - Improved handling of failed DNS lookups & diagnostics for failed bind to listen socket - Made --no-daemon mode log to tty instead of logfile. - Various spec file and init script cleanups and improvements (Redhat and SuSE). - CGI Editor works on OS/2 now. - Fix restart failure where sockets were in TIME_WAIT. - Fixes for actions cgi editor, make sure we have right file. - A --pidfile command line option now, in addition to --help, --version, --no-daemon, --user and configfile. --no-daemon replaces the former -d option and _DEBUG define. --user will drop privileges to the specified user. - Signal handling cleanups (*nix). - CGI actions editor improvements and fixes. - Error handling improvements, especially out of memory. - Default re_filterfile fix that caused spurious IJB logos (instead of 'blank'). - configure.in threading fixes for Solaris. - Various other minor fixes. *** Version 2.9.11 Beta Changes *** - Add "session" cookie concept where cookies exist for the life of that browser session only (ie never goes to disk). - Checks for correct header length. - Fix user:pass@host.domain.com auth bug. - Better signal handling on *nix. - Fix CFLAGS hard-coded in configure.in - Fix threading bug re: gethostbyname() that caused random URLs to fail in some cases. *** Version 2.9.11 Alpha Changes *** - A web-based editor for the actions file is included (go to http://i.j.b/). - Web-based toggle IJB on/off support. - Cookie handling has changed - the new +no-cookies-keep feature is now the default. - actionsfile is renamed to ijb.action. - junkbstr.txt is now config.txt on Win32. - Support for running IJB as a UNIX daemon process has improved. - Unix daemon now returns error code on failed start. - Timestamps in logfile and jarfile now. - Fix for the Netscape bug reintroduced in 2.9.9. - make should now abort if gmake (GNU make) not present. - Many other minor bugfixes - Start a ChangeLog :) *** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes *** - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga) - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same image). - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer". - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket(). Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these. - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly. - Most URLs hardcoded into Junkbuster were changed to go through a script e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL: http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html and the home page: http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/ ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by Junkbuster anyway. TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in Junkbuster Corp's copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page. - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option. *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes *** - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch. *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes *** - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote data is the whole purpose of a proxy..) - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.' is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It also has a higher name collision risk. - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current patch war ;-) - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file, that Stefan had placed there. - Improved the re_filterfile *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes *** - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what is expected - however they seem to work. - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".) To see command-line options, run "./configure --help". This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges (how PCRE is handled is the roughest). - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the one from JunkbusterMT (but with the threading code removed). - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code. - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled. - New source file headers. - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to get this released!) - RCS tags on .h files. - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes per tag ;-) - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*. - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c, has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?) And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c", which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc. (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!) - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments, and this function also stores the proxy_args. - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI) - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI) - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English". - Version number changes to 2.9.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright : Written by and Copyright (C) 2001 the SourceForge Privoxy team. http://www.privoxy.org/ Based on the Internet Junkbuster originally written by and Copyright (C) 1997 Anonymous Coders and Junkbusters Corporation. http://www.junkbusters.com This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
