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.
- - Fix a Windows-specific log viewer thread safety issue.
+ - 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.

+ unresponsive after toggling it on or off through the taskbar icon.
Reported by Tim H. in #3525694.
- - Let fatal_error() write to the logfile right away, before showing the
- Windows-specific error message which blocks until the user acknowledges
- it, thus complicating automatic error detection.
- Reported by Adriaan in #3593603.
- - Fix the --disable-ipv6-support configure option for the Windows platform.
- - In socks5_connect(), do not try to print a negative number of socks
- response bytes if the read() for the socks5 negotiation failed
- completely. It's an API violation and can trigger an assert() in debug
- builds with "debug 2" enabled. Except for the assert(), log_error()
- already handled negative %N values gracefully so this commit only makes a
- difference for debug builds.
+ - 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.
- 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 each
request that Privoxy acts upon.
- New directive client-header-order can be used to forward client headers in
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.
- - Significantly improved reuse of open connections.
- 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
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.
- - 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.
- 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 headers when filters are enabled. If they are not it
- doesn't cause ill effects and the user might not want it. While at it,
- downgrade the removal message to LOG_LEVEL_HEADER to clarify that it's not
+ - 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.

- - Accept a default-server-timeout of 0. It's the default after all.
- - Accept a socket-timeout value of 0 seconds. Impatience isn't necessarily a
- syntax problem.
- Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket in
accept_connection(). This should further reduce the chances of the client
getting an incomplete response, even though Privoxy wrote it in its
entirety to the socket.
- - Let serve() wait for keep-alive-timeout seconds for new requests. The
- server connection timeout is no longer relevant.
- - Improve connection handling when connection sharing is enabled.
- - Do not keep the client connection open if it has to be closed to mark the
- end of the response.
- - 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.
- Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their code block.
It's how we usually do it and is apparently also required when compiling
with gcc 2.95. Initial patch submitted by Simon South in #3564815.
