Interested donors: 1.
-54) Move away from CVS to a more modern revision control system.
- The move to git is work in progress:
- https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/mailman/message/34994343/
-
58) Move more template strings from the code into the actual templates.
59) Import the German template translation.
66) Stop hard-coding the number of action and filter files.
-67) Clean up source code directory layout. Depends on 54 so
- we don't lose the revision history.
+67) Clean up source code directory layout.
68) Use standard make syntax so we don't depend on GNU make.
79) Evaluate pcre alternatives.
-80) Change FEATURE_EXTENDED_HOST_PATTERNS to support both
- extended and vanilla host patterns at the same time.
-
- Note that the requirement is to allow the user to decide
- if the domain pattern should be interpreted as regex or
- traditional host pattern and if it's not obvious that the
- user made any decision, default to the latter.
-
- Possible solutions would be:
-
- 1. An always-use-regex-domain-patterns config option
- 2. An enable-regex-domain-patterns-for-this-action-file option
- 3. An enable-regex-domain-patterns-for-this-action-file-until-the-user-says-otherwise option
- 4. A treat-the-domain-pattern-in-this-line-as-regex(-or-not) option
- 5. Combinations of the options above
-
- With 2+4, 3+4 or 2+3+4 being the preferences until
- further discussion.
-
82) Detect if the system time goes back in time let the user
know if it caused any connections to get closed.
go through all filters and skip the filter types the caller isn't
interested in.
-98) When showing action section on the CGI pages, properly escape
+98) When showing action sections on the CGI pages, properly escape
line breaks so they can be copy&pasted into action files without
adjustments.
118) There should be "escaped" dynamic variables that are guaranteed
not to break filters.
-119) Evaluate using pcre's jit mode.
-
120) Add an option to limit pcre's recursion limit below the default.
On some platforms the recursion limit doesn't prevent pcre from
running out of stack space, causing the kernel to kill Privoxy
probably shouldn't be affected (such as actions like
forward-override). Investigate and fix or document.
-141) Port Privoxy to CloudABI, which, despite the name, is actually
- rather neat. https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudlibc
-
142) Remove or update the "internal" pcre version.
143) Add support for OpenBSD's pledge feature once it's stablelized.
performance point of view, using a single thread should reduce Privoxy's
memory footprint a bit which may be noticeable in case of multi-user setups
with hundreds of idle connections.
+
+161) Properly support requests with chunked transfer-encoding with https inspection.
+
+162) When https inspecting, delete generated keys and certificates if
+ the connection to the destination could not be established.
+ Makes silly DoS attacks slightly more complicated.
+
+163) Use subdirectories in the certificate-directory to lower the number
+ of files per directory.
+
+164) Evaluate switching from pcreposix(3) to pcre's native api
+ for URL matching which allows to compile the patterns once
+ at load-time.
+
+165) Add a max-connections-per-client directive.
+
+166) Figure out how to ship Windows binaries with external libraries
+ like pcre and MbedTLS. Required for #142. Somewhat related:
+ https://lists.privoxy.org/pipermail/privoxy-devel/2020-November/000400.html
+
+167) Set up a public Privoxy-Filter-Test instance.
+
+168) Add a privacy policy.
+
+169) Preserve all relevant copyright and license statements in binary
+ packages we distribute.

Hosting wish list (relevant for #53)
- Mailinglists (Mailman with public archives preferred)
- Webspace (on a Unix-like OS that works with the webserver targets
in GNUMakefile)
-- Source code repositories (currently CVS, but migrating away
- from it is TODO #54 anyway and shouldn't be too much trouble)
+- Git repositories
- Commit mails (preferably with unified diffs)
(Unsorted) details to look at when evaluating hosters:
