+This README is included with the development version of Privoxy 3.0.18. See
+http://www.privoxy.org/ for more information. The current code maturity level
+is "UNRELEASED", but seems stable to us :).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is mainly a bug-fix release for the previously released Privoxy 3.0.16.
It contains fixes for two bugs that could cause connections to hang under
-certain circumstances when keep-alive support was enabled, until they timed
-out or where closed by the server.

5. DOCUMENTATION
-There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory. In particular, see the
-User Manual there, the FAQ, and those interested in Privoxy development, should
-look at developer-manual.
+There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory, but it may not be
+completed at this point. In particular, see the User Manual there, the FAQ, and
+those interested in Privoxy development, should look at developer-manual.
-The source and configuration files are all well commented. The main
-configuration files are: 'config', 'default.action', and 'default.filter'.
+The most up to date source of information on the current development version,
+may still be either comments in the source code, or the included configuration
+files. The source and configuration files are all well commented. The main
+configuration files are: 'config', 'default.action', and 'default.filter' in
+the top-level source directory.
Included documentation may vary according to platform and packager. All
documentation is posted on http://www.privoxy.org, in case you don't have it,
Please don't sent private support requests to individual Privoxy developers,
either use the mailing lists or the support trackers.
+If you have to contact a Privoxy developer directly for other reasons, please
+send a real mail and do not bother with SourceForge's messaging system. Answers
+to SourceForge messages are usually bounced by SourceForge's mail server in
+which case the developer wasted time writing a response you don't get. From
+your point of view it will look like your message has been completely ignored,
+so this is frustrating for all parties involved.
