ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Since 3.0.6 ***
+*** Since 3.0.8 ***
+
+- Added SOCKS5 support. Patch provided by Eric M. Hopper.
+- The "blocked" CGI pages include a block reason that was
+ provided as argument to the last-applying block action.
+- If enable-edit-actions is disabled (the default since 3.0.7 beta)
+ the show-status page hides the edit buttons and explains why.
+ Previously the user would get the "this feature has been disabled"
+ message after using the edit button.
+- Forbidden CONNECT requests are treated like blocks by default.
+ The now-pointless treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks action
+ has been removed.
+- Not enabling limit-connect now allows CONNECT requests to all ports.
+ In previous versions it would only allow CONNECT requests to port 443.
+ Use +limit-connect{443} if you think you need the old default behaviour.
+- The CGI editor gets turned off after three edit requests with invalid
+ file modification timestamps. This makes life harder for attackers
+ who can leverage browser bugs to send fake Referers and intend to
+ brute-force edit URLs.
+- Action settings for multiple patterns in the same section are
+ shared in memory. As a result these sections take up less space
+ (and are loaded slightly faster). Problem reported by Franz Schwartau.
+- Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less
+ likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured.
+- New config option "hostname" to use a hostname other than
+ the one returned by the operating system. Useful to speed-up responses
+ for CGI requests on misconfigured systems. Requested by Max Khon.
+- The CGI editor supports the "disable all filters of this type"
+ directives "-client-header-filter", "-server-header-filter",
+ "-client-header-tagger" and "-server-header-tagger".
+- Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that
+ contain the pattern "/jump/".
+- The less-download-windows filter no longer messes
+ "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up.
+- In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and
+ inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee.
+- The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the
+ PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are less
+ unreliable.
+
+*** Version 3.0.8 ***
+
+- Fixed a small memory leak when listen-address only specifies the port.
+- The source tar balls now include Privoxy-Regression-Test which
+ (upon other things) can be used to automatically detect some
+ packaging problems. Packagers are welcome to give it a try.
+- Reverted a change in 3.0.7 that caused path patterns to be checked
+ even if the host pattern match already failed. While this doesn't
+ noticeable affect the performance, it makes it less likely to run
+ out of stack space with overly-complex path patterns the user might
+ have added.
+- Updated the msn, yahoo and google filters to work as advertised again.
+- The warning message shown by the show-status CGI page is easier to
+ understand. Previously it wasn't clear that the error message
+ is shown below the invalid directive. (Reported by Lee)
+- When regenerating Content-Disposition headers the more common
+ spelling is used for the name. Previously it was written without caps.
+- Less confusing log message if the content type isn't overwritten
+ because force-text-type wasn't used but the old type doesn't look
+ like content that would be filtered normally.
+- Better log messages if the user tries to execute filters that
+ don't exist.
+- Treat the non-standard Request-Range headers like standard range
+ headers and suppress them if content filtering is enabled.
+- Prevent the log messages for CONNECT requests to unacceptable
+ ports from printing the limit-connect argument as [null] if
+ limit-connect hasn't been explicitly enabled.
+- Don't disable the mingw32 log window if the logfile directive
+ isn't used. While it was an intentional change in 3.0.7 at least
+ one user perceived it as a regression and the same effect can
+ be achieved by disabling all debug directives.
+- Fixed two minor problems related to the win32 build process: a css
+ file was not being in the installer and the trustfile comment in the
+ config.txt referenced a nonexisting file
+- Minor documentation fixes.
+
+*** Version 3.0.7 Beta ***
- Added zlib support to filter content with gzip and deflate
encoding. (Patch provided by Wil Mahan)
Earlier Privoxy versions would buffer and then forward the content
unmodified which caused some browsers to simply show empty pages.
- Fix double free in cgi_edit_actions_list(). Reported by Venustech AD-LAB.
-- The code to add X-Forwarded-For headers has been removed.
+- The code to add X-Forwarded-For headers when the hide-forwarded-for-headers
+ action isn't being used has been removed.
- Fixed trustfile feature which previously didn't work without FEATURE_TOGGLE.
Reported by Lee.
- Minor code clean-ups, filter and action file updates.
- Changed webinterface default values for hide-user-agent, hide-referrer
and set-image-blocker.
-*** Version 3.0.5 ***
+*** Version 3.0.5 Beta ***
- Windows version can be installed/started as a service.
- Windows icon stays blue when Privoxy is idle, green when busy.
