ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Since 3.0.3 ***
+- Windows version can be installed/started as a service.
+- Windows icon stays blue when Privoxy is idle, green when busy.
+- Integrated Fabian Keil's extensive patch. See:
+ http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy/. Includes the
+ following new or significantly improved actions (among many
+ other improvements):
+
+ content-type-overwrite{}
+ crunch-client-header{string}
+ crunch-if-none-match
+ crunch-server-header{string}
+ fast-redirects{check-decoded-url}
+ filter-client-headers
+ filter-server-headers
+ force-text-mode
+ handle-as-empty-document
+ hide-accept-language{}
+ hide-content-disposition{}
+ hide-if-modified-since
+ hide-referrer{conditional-block}
+ overwrite-last-modified{}
+ redirect{URL}
+ treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks
+
+- Standard-compliant clients are prevented from displaying cached
+ copies of Privoxy's error messages after the cause of the problem
+ has gone.
+- Improved DNS error handling.
+- Multiple filter files can now be specified in config.
+- Added jpeg filtering to defend against MS jpeg vulnerability MS04-028
+ with the new inspect-jpegs action.
+- Removed the "arbitrary" 1000 filter limit - addresses tracker #911950

+
+*** Version 3.0.3 ***
+

+- Further tightened security against malicious toggle-off links.
+- Excluded text/plain MIME types from filtering. This fixes a
+ couple of client-crashing, download corruption and

+ termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
+ error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.

+ html-annoyances, content-cookies and fun filters
+ - Replaced filter "popups" by choice between two modes:
+ - "unsolicited-popups" tries to catch only the unsolicited ones
+ - "all-popups" tries to kill them all (as before)
+ - New filter "tiny-textforms" Help those tiny or hard-wrap textareas.
+ - New filter "jumping-windows" that prevents windows from resizing
+ and moving themselves
+ - New filter "demoronizer" which fixes MS's abuse of std charsets
+ (common cases anyway).
+ - Replaced "nimda" with more general "ie-exploits" filter in which
+ all filters for exploits shall be collected

+ targets.

+ problem involving remote toggling and action file manipulation
+ by mailicious websites.

+- user-manual directive added to config for help links from within CGI
+ editor.
