ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Since 3.0.7 ***
+*** 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 GNUmakefile supports the DESTDIR variable. Patch for
+ the install target submitted by Radoslaw Zielinski.
+- Embedding the content of configuration files in the show-status
+ page is significantly faster now. For a largish action file (1 MB)
+ a speedup of about 2450 times has been measured. This is mostly
+ interesting if you are using large action files or regularly use
+ Privoxy-Regression-Test while running Privoxy through Valgrind,
+ for stock configuration files it doesn't really matter.
+- If zlib support is unavailable and there are content
+ filters active but the prevent-compression action is disabled,
+ the show-url-info page includes a warning that compression
+ might prevent filtering.
+- The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the
+ PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are less
+ unreliable.
+- The inspect-jpegs action has been removed.
+- The send-wafer and send-vanilla-wafer actions have been removed.
+ They weren't particular useful and their behaviour could be emulated
+ with add-header anyway.
+
+*** 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
don't exist.
- Treat the non-standard Request-Range headers like standard range
headers and suppress them if content filtering is enabled.
-- Fix build on OS/2 and other platforms that are neither
- Windows nor Unix based.
- 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.
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.
