ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Version 3.0.30 UNRELEASED ***
+*** Version 3.0.30 stable ***
- Bug fixes:
- Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests.
This unbreaks (at least) https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose
buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in browser warnings.
- Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time.
- Privously Privoxy would crash.
+ Previously Privoxy would crash.
Reported by: Kai Raven
- Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently
aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would wait for the client
to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.
+ - When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with
+ FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not recommended for production builds),
+ the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
+ connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the
+ wrong time.
- General improvements:
- - Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-intercepted
+ - Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected
requests behind the client's back. The documentation already sort
of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that
it didn't work for https-inspected requests.
fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and
without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.
- The code compiles with older C compilers again.
- - Check the chdir() return code to fix a compiler warning.
- - Let the crude-parental filter insert a link to Privoxy's webinterface.
- - Remove the packages feed from the source tarball.
+ - The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.

for the release.

- Improved a couple of error messages.
- Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a
- The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are
enabled at the same time.
- Log a message right before exiting gracefully.
+ - A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly
+ less memory.
+ - When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid
+ the error message is now sent with status code 403 instead of 200.
+ - The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to
+ slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when building
+ Debian packages.
+ - When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used
+ instead of mbedtls_md5() which is deprecated and causes a warning
+ on Debian GNU/Linux.
