ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Since 3.0.6 ***
+
+- Privoxy can be combined with any packet filter to build
+ an intercepting proxy for HTTP/1.1 requests (and for HTTP/1.0
+ requests with Host header set).
+- fast-redirects{} catch redirects to https URLs as well.
+- redirect{s@foo@bar@} can be used to redirect to a rewritten
+ version of the original URL.
+- Trap unsupported gopher proxy requests.
+- Fixed a bug in the User Manual delivery on Windows
+ (mingw32 only). Images now show up correctly and HTML
+ pages are no longer padded with garbage data.
+- Fixed small memory leak in case of config file reloads.
+- Only unlink the pidfile if it's actually used.
+
+*** Version 3.0.6 ***
+
+- New content filters: no-ping, google, msn, yahoo and blogspot.
+- New header filters: x-httpd-php-to-html, html-to-xml, xml-to-html
+ and hide-tor-exit-notation.
+- The special header "X-Filter: No" now disables header filtering as well.
+- Improved the filters img-reorder, js-annoyances, webbugs,
+ banners-by-size, banners-by-link and ie-exploits to make them
+ less likely to break anything.
+- Removed outdated URL patterns in default.action and added new ones.
+- Added redirection from http://p.p/user-manual to http://p.p/user-manual/
+- Changed webinterface default values for hide-user-agent, hide-referrer
+ and set-image-blocker.
+
+*** Version 3.0.5 ***
+
+- 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
+- Thanks to Jindrich Makovicka for a race condition fix for the log
+ file. The race condition remains for non-pthread implementations.
+ Reference patch #1175720. Various other logging enhancements.
+- A pile of assorted bug fixes, memory leaks, enhancements, etc.
+- Moved Actions file reporting mechanism to SF tracker.
+- Two new options for config: enable-remote-http-toggle and
+ forwarded-connect-retries.
+- Trap unsupported FTP requests.
+- Let text/xml be filtered.
+- Numerous updates to default.action
+- Increase the compiled in limit of trusted referrers from 64 to 512
+ (for trustfile users).
+
+*** Version 3.0.3 ***
+
+- Fixed yet another two memory leaks. Process growth seems stopped now.
+- 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
+ Privoxy performance issues, whose root cause lies in
+ web servers labelling content of unknown type as text/plain.
+- Assorted fixes for POSIX compliance, signal handling, graceful
+ termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
+ error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.
+- Workarounds for client (iTunes etc) and server (PHP < 4.2.3) bugs
+ including the notorious "blank page" problem.

+ filter became less destructive
+- Major revamp of the actions file

+- Refined the default action file through >400 items of user feedback
+- Filter changes:

+ img-reorder, banners-by-size, banners-by-link, webbugs, refresh-tags,
+ 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.
