privoxy for Debian
==================
-- enable-edit-actions and enable-remote-toggle are disabled in the
- Debian package for security reasons, because these options allow
- every user of your privoxy to change its configuration. If you still
- want to use these features, you can enable them in
- /etc/privoxy/config and do a "/etc/init.d/privoxy restart".
+- Since 3.0.5 the upstream package uses the Cautious default settings
+ instead of Medium (like 3.0.3 did). To avoid problems on upgrades
+ of old packages, the Debian package still uses the Medium settings.
+ You can find the different profiles in /etc/privoxy/default.action.
+ To change the default, go to http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=match-all
+ (this can also be reached from http://p.p/show-status via the
+ match-all.action edit link. p.p is a privoxy internal address, so you
+ need to use privoxy as your HTTP proxy before you can access these
+ URLs) and modify the default to your needs. You can either set one
+ of the standard profiles (Cautious, Medium, or Advanced) or change
+ every single setting using the "Edit" button. It is necessary to
+ set "enable-edit-actions 1" (see above) in /etc/privoxy/config to
+ use the web interface. Alternatively you can modify
+ /etc/privoxy/match-all.action by hand. The other templates are
+ available in /etc/privoxy/default.action (search for lines starting
+ with "standard.".
-- A patch was applied to access the local copy of the user manual
- (/usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual/*) was applied. With the option
- user-manual /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual
- in /etc/privoxy/config this is activated and the manual can be
- accessed as http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual
-
-- A patch was applied to use multiple filter files. So you can leave
- /etc/privoxy/default.filter untouched and use a local file like
- /etc/privoxy/user.filter for your local changes (you have to enable
- this file using a second filterfile directive in /etc/privoxy/config).
+- /etc/privoxy/default.action is now owned by root, so you can not
+ modify it via http://p.p/edit-actions-list?f=default any longer
+ (assumed that you set "enable-edit-action 1" above). You should
+ realize your local adaptions in /etc/privoxy/match-all.action and
+ /etc/privoxy/user.action, so default.action can be easily upgraded
+ by new package versions. If you do not like this change, feel free
+ to change the owner of default.action to "privoxy" and the file is
+ editable again.
