+ was enabled, Privoxy failed to get the request destination
+ from the Host header and a memory allocation failed.
+ Commit 7530132349. CID 267165. OVE-20201118-0006.
+ - Fixed memory leaks in the client-tags CGI handler when
+ client tags are configured and memory allocations fail.

+
+- General improvements:
+ - Added experimental https inspection support which allows to filter
+ https traffic. To enable it, install MbedTLS and configure with
+ --with-mbedtls, or install OpenSSL or LibreSSL and configure
+ with --with-openssl.
+ Afterwards configure the directives in section 7 of the
+ config file and enable the +https-inspection action.
+ Initial MbedTLS-based code contributed by Vaclav Svec,
+ initial OpenSSL support contributed by Maxim Antonov.
+ With help from Nedzad Hrnjica and Ho+ Ho+ Ho+.
+ Integration and improvements sponsored by Robert Klemme.
+ - pcrs: Request JIT compilation if it's supported and
+ the filter isn't dynamic. This can speed up filtering.
+ - Added support for Brotli decompression.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Added FEATURE_EXTENDED_STATISTICS to gather statistics for
+ block reasons and filter executions. To enable it, configure
+ with --enable-extended-statistics and visit
+ http://config.privoxy.org/show-status.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Use the IP_FREEBIND socket option, if defined. This allows
+ Privoxy to bind to not-yet assigned IP addresses which is
+ useful in failover environments.
+ Patch by Sam Varshavchik.
+ - Allow to use extended host patterns and vanilla host patterns
+ at the same time by prefixing extended host patterns with
+ "PCRE-HOST-PATTERN:". To enable this, configure with
+ --enable-pcre-host-patterns.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Added "Cross-origin resource sharing" (CORS) support.
+ This allows to access Privoxy's CGI interface via JavaScript from
+ another domain (white-listed with the new cors-allowed-origin directive).
+ Based on a patch by Nedzad Hrnjica.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
+ - Add SOCKS5 username/password support.
+ Based on a patch by Sam, improved by Ivan Romanov.
+ Closes Patch#141 and solves TODO#105.
+ - Bump the maximum number of action and filter files
+ to 100 each.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Fixed handling of filters with "split-large-forms 1"
+ when using the CGI editor.
+ Reported by withoutname in #921.
+ - Better detect a mismatch of connection details when
+ figuring out whether or not a connection can be reused.
+ - Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the
+ "DNS failure" message.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Let LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST log all requests. Previously unencrypted
+ requests were only logged with LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST when they weren't
+ crunched (in which case they were logged with LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH).
+ This was documented behaviour, but logging all requests seems more useful.
+ - Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().
+ - Removed OS/2 support. We haven't provided OS/2 packages in years,
+ it complicated the code and it depended on a fallback snprintf()
+ implementation which is GPLv2 only.
+ - Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation
+ Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.
+ - Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.
+ - Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.
+ - Explicitly prevent use of FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING
+ without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. It makes no sense
+ and does not compile anyway.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message
+ to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - decompress_iob(): Downgrade the no-content message to LOG_LEVEL_RE_FILTER
+ While at it, fix a typo in a comment.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Fixed a couple of cppcheck warnings.
+ - Rename LOG_LEVEL_GPC to LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST.
+ Only the shadow knows what "GPC" is supposed to stand for.
+ - Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.
+ - Upgrade a bunch of links to the homepage to https://.
+ - Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the
+ use of Brotli compression.
+ - Changed license for pcrs to GPLv2+ after getting the
+ permission from Andreas. This allows to redistribute
+ Privoxy under the GPLv3 which is required when linking
+ to future mbedTLS versions which are expected to be
+ licensed under the Apache 2.0 license only.
+ - Updated a bunch of tests that have to expect status code 403
+ now after r1.168/070e904afa5.
+ - Lowercase the host name in the request line.
+ - Only set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it's not already set so
+ distributions can overwrite it through the environment.
+
+- Documentation changes:
+ - Explain that Privoxy has to be distributed under the
+ GPLv3 (or later) when linked with an MbedTLS version
+ that is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
+ - Import the GNU GPLv3 and include it the user manual.
+ - Clarify FEATURE_FORCE_LOAD's description. It allows to bypass
+ blocking not filtering and only does it if blocks aren't enforced.
+ Reported by: Robert Klemme
+ - FAQ: Remove Zwiebelfreunde e.V. from the list of fiduciary sponsors
+ As of 2021 they no longer handle donations for foreign organisations
+ due to lack of resources.
+ - FAQ: Remove an obsolete comment with a link to the long-gone PDF manual.
+ - FAQ: Add a link to the TODO list.
+ - FAQ: Change the sponsor amounts to USD slightly rounding the
+ converted amounts up to get simple numbers.
+ Receiving USD is apparently easier for SPI and SPI is
+ preferred by sponsors as they can send invoices.
+ - Advertise the client-tags CGI page in the user manual.
+ - Stop advertising the show-version CGI page which no longer exists.
+ - Add yet another reason why +prevent-compression may cause problems.
+ - Don't claim that contributors need ssh. It's only needed for committers.
+ - Replace obsolete CVS instructions with Git instructions.
+ - Remove an obsolete comment
+
+- Config file changes:
+ - Change the suggested default-server-timeout to 5 to match the
+ suggested keep-alive-timeout. Otherwise using the defaults would
+ result in Privoxy reducing the default-server-timeout and logging
+ an error message.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Update the 'debug 1' description.
+ - Add a missing 'client-specific-tag' directive.
+ - Comment out trusted-cgi-referer pointing to example.org.
+
+- Action file improvements:
+ - Block requests to /(.*/)?piwik\.php
+ - Block requests to .connectaserver.de/
+ - Block requests to pixel.inforsea.com/
+ - Block requests to t.vi-serve.com/
+ - Block requests to .ioam.de/
+ - Block requests to t.9gag.com/img.gif
+ - Block requests to .pixel.parsely.com/ as image
+ - Block requests to pixel.wp.com/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .librarything.com/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for issue.freebsdfoundation.org/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .twitter.com/.*origin=http
+ - Unblock belco24.de/
+ - Add fast-redirects exception for .wikipedia.org/
+ - Add fast-redirects exception for oss-fuzz.com/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .consensu.org/delivery/pixel\.php
+ and block the requests as image instead
+ - Unblock .adbinstaller.com/
+ Reported by lvm in #942.
+ - Unblock .adbshell.com
+ Reported by lvm in #942.
+ - Unblock .tagesschau.de/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for collector.githubapp.com/
+ and block requests to it as image instead
+ - Unblock 'ada*.'
+ - Add fast-redirects{} exception for sourcepoint.vice.com/
+ - Unblock adaway.org/
+ Reported by DRS David Soft in AF#945.
+ - Change two block reasons that previously were the same.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Added a +delay-response{} test.
+ - Updated the location of the development version
+ of default.action.master.
+
+- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
+ - Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.
+ - Highlight new log messages.
+ - Make gather_loglevel_clf_stats() more tolerant. While at it,
+ count all CLF messages as requests, even if the request is invalid.
+ - Only show HTTP version distribution if at least one version has been detected.
+ - Only show crunch statistics if crunches were detected.
+ - Warn if the request counts differ.
+ - Generate statistics if the log only contains LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages
+ so it can be used with vanilla webserver logs.
+ Previously Privoxy-specific "Request:" messages were required.
+ - Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions
+ - Bump version to 0.9.1
+ - Include status code distribution in the stats.
+ - Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy
+ transferred excluding HTTP headers.
+ - Get with the program and expect all requests to be logged with LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST.
+ It's no longer necessary to count both LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST and
+ LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH messages to get the total number of requests.
+ - Leverage the LOG_LEVEL_CLF message to gather statistics that where
+ previously taken from LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines. This results in less
+ confusing results if https inspection is enabled in which case there
+ are two LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines with request lines.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Properly highlight the filter results message. Previously a brace got lost.
+ - Prefer the number of CLF lines to get the total number of requests
+ as it works with older Privoxy versions as well.
+
+- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
+ - Turn curl's globbing mode off so we can allow more characters in URLs.
+ - Allow '[' and ']' in URLs.
+ - Include the action file when complaining about missing Sticky Actions.
+ - Fix a sentence in the documentation.
+ - Bump version to 0.7.1
+
+- url-pattern-translator:
+ - Detect a couple of pattern prefixes case-insensitively.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Skip CLIENT-TAG patterns.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Skip patterns that have already been converted.
+ It should now be safe to "convert" a file multiple times.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Add the new 'PCRE-HOST-PATTERN:' prefix.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+
+*** Version 3.0.28 stable ***
+
+- Bug fixes for regressions in 3.0.27:
+ - Fixed misplaced parentheses.
+ Reported by David Binderman.
+ - Changed two regression tests to depend on config directive
+ enable-remote-toggle instead of FEATURE_TOGGLE.
+
*** Version 3.0.27 stable ***
- General improvements:
if connection-sharing is enabled.
- A TODO list has been added to the source tarball to give potential
volunteers a better idea of what the current goals are. Donations
- are still welcome too: http://www.privoxy.org/faq/general.html#DONATE
