ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Version 3.0.13 (UNRELEASED) ***
+
+- The client socket is kept open until the server socket has
+ been marked as unused. This should increase the chances that
+ the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next
+ request to the same destination.
+
+*** Version 3.0.12 ***
+
+- The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose
+ select() implementation modifies the timeout structure.
+ Previously the timeout was triggered even if the connection
+ didn't stall. Reported by cyberpatrol.
+- The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
+ larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too
+ early.
+- The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.
+- The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to
+ the documentation location specified with the directive,
+ not to the Privoxy website.
+- When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything
+ to the console unless there are errors before the logfile
+ has been opened.
+- The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives
+ on the same line as the directives themselves.
+- Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings,
+ mostly on 64 bit platforms.
+- The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset
+ to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more
+ recent Windows versions. Patch by Burberry.
+- The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab
+ windows. Patch by Burberry.
+- The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error"
+ message box on mingw32.
+- Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering
+ them required control over the configuration file, therefore
+ this isn't seen as a security issue.
+- In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
+ is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
+ skip reason.
+
*** Version 3.0.11 ***
- On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and
and can be safely overwritten by updates.
- The standard.action file has been removed. Its content
is now part of the default.action file.
-- In some situations the logged content length was
- slightly too low.
+- In some situations the logged content length was slightly too low.
- Crunched requests are logged with their own log level.
If you used "debug 1" in the past, you'll probably want
to additionally enable "debug 1024", otherwise only passed
requests, simply replace "debug 1" with "debug 1024".
- The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the
crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well.
-- Log messages are shortened by not printing the thread id
- on its own (as opposed to putting it inside "Privoxy()".
+- Log messages are shortened by printing the thread id on its
+ own (as opposed to putting it inside the string "Privoxy()").
- The config option socket-timeout has been added to control
the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket.
-- A "clear log" view option was added to the mingw32 version
- to clear out all of the lines in the Privoxy log window.
- Based on a patch submitted by T Ford.
-- The mingw32 version uses "critical sections" now which
- prevents log message corruption under load. As a side effect,
- the "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well.
-- The mingw32 version's task bar icon is changed if Privoxy
- is toggled of. XXX: Describe how.
- Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
option --disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also
depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the
existed in Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.7 but has been removed
as it was often used unintentionally (by not using the
hide-forwarded-for-headers action).

+- The mingw32 version's task bar icon is crossed out and
+ the color changed to gray if Privoxy is toggled off.
