*** Version 3.0.16 Stable ***
-- The config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok has
- been added to work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes
- Firefox to hang if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations.
-- Privoxy-Log-Parser is roughly 40% faster in highlighting mode.
-- In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null.
-- Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2
- doesn't seem to allow them. Reported anonymously.
-- uagen, a Firefox User-Agent generator for Privoxy and Mozilla
- browsers has been imported and is available in the tarballs

+- Added the config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok to
+ work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes Firefox to hang
+ if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations. The option is
+ enabled in the default config file.
+- Added the config file option default-server-timeout to control the
+ assumed default server timeout. Since Privoxy no longer returns
+ an error message for connection resets on reused client connections,
+ assuming larger server timeout values appears to actually work
+ pretty well as long as connections aren't shared.
- Added optional support for FreeBSD's accf_http(9). Use the
configure option --enable-accept-filter to enable it.
- Added fancier Privoxy icons for win32. Contributed by Jeff H.
+- In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null.
- Resolve localhost using whatever address family the operating
system feels like. Previous betas would try to use IPv4 as this

+- In the action lists on CGI pages, actions and their parameters are
+ no longer separated with a space. The action file parser doesn't
+ actually allow this and will throw an invalid syntax error if actions
+ and parameters in the action files are separated. Not adding the
+ spaces means copy and pasting CGI output into the action files works.
+- The default keep-alive timeout has been reduced to 5 seconds to work
+ around hangs in clients that treat the proxy like any other host and
+ stop allowing any new connections if the "maximum number of
+ connections per host" is reached.
+- Several webbug URLs that look like they are leading to images are now
+ blocked as image instead of empty documents. Doing the latter causes
+ WebKit-based clients to show a "missing image" icon which may mess up
+ the layout.
+- The no-such-domain template is used for DNS resolution
+ problems with FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT enabled. Previously the
+ connect-failed template was used. Reported by 'zebul666'.
+- Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2

- Don't try to forget connections if connection sharing is disabled.
This wasn't a real problem but caused an unnecessary log message.
-- The scripts in the tools directory treat unknown parameters
- as fatal errors.
- The still undocumented --enable-extended-host-patterns configure
option has a better description.
-- Fixed an error message that would claim a write to the
- server failed when actually writing to the client failed.

- Log the crunch reason before trying to write to the client.
The log is easier to read that way.

the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next
request to the same destination. Note that this only matters
if connection-sharing is enabled.
