ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Version 3.0.15 Beta ***
+
+- In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the
+ client if the request arrived on a reused connection. The client
+ is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering
+ the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the
+ "No server or forwarder data received" error message many users
+ reported.
+- More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets
+ with keep-alive enabled.
+- FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from
+ FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on
+ all platforms.
+- Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections.
+ Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting
+ form data with some browser configurations.
+- Fixed various latency calculation issues.
+- Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a
+ forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work
+ in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn't. Now it's confirmed to work
+ with IE, Firefox and Chrome.
+ Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang
+- Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers
+ takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate
+ the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver.
+- Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems
+ using earlier glibc version that don't support AI_ADDRCONFIG.
+ Anonymously submitted in #2872591.
+- A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec
+ files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for
+ quite some time.
+- Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper
+ error message. Previously they would be either rejected as
+ invalid or cause a core dump through abort().
+- Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered.
+ They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.
+- len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might
+ differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.
+- The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent()
+ instead of escape() which doesn't encode all characters that matter.
+ Anonymously reported in #2832722.
+- Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
+- Various log message improvements.
+- Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
+- Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.

*** Version 3.0.14 Beta ***
-- The error pages for connection timeouts or missing server data
- use a Last-Modified date in the past. Retry attempts are detected
- and Privoxy removes the If-Modified-Since header to prevent the
- server from responding with status code 304 in which case the client
- would reuse the error message..
-- Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support.
- Previously Privoxy would claim to allow persistence but not reuse
- the connection.
-- Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization
- is enabled and the date can't be parsed.
-- The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching
- for groups and id.
+- The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to
+ reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of
+ connections problems several users reported.
+- If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive,
+ Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.

- Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request
body of the previous request. Note that Privoxy still has no real
- Pipelining support and will either serialize pipelined requests or
+ pipeline support and will either serialize pipelined requests or
drop them in which case the client has to resent them.
-- Takes the latency into account when evaluating whether or not to
- reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of
- connections problems several users reported.
-- If the client's Keep-Alive header specifies a timeout below
- Privoxy's, it will be used instead.
+- Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization
+ is enabled and the date couldn't be parsed.
+- Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced
+ to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header.
- For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not
setting any Connection header instead of using 'Connection: keep-alive'.
- If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste
a socket slot to remember the connection.
- If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's
Keep-Alive header is removed.
-- If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive,
- Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.
- Fixed a bug on mingw32 where downloading large files failed if
keep-alive support was enabled.
-- Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log timestamps
- to be occasionally off by about a second.
-- Don't add another Proxy-Connection header if there already is one.
+- Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log

+- No Proxy-Connection header if added if there already is one.
+- The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching
+ for groups and id.
*** Version 3.0.13 Beta ***
- Added IPv6 support. Thanks to Petr Pisar who not only provided
the initial patch but also helped a lot with the integration.
-- Added client-side keep-alive support. This should also allow
- NTLM authentication through Privoxy, but this hasn't been
- confirmed yet.
+- Added client-side keep-alive support.
- The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing
option is enabled.
- The max-client-connections option has been added to restrict
