+ <application>Privoxy 3.0.22</application> stable is mainly a bug-fix
+ release, it also has a couple of new features, though.

- On POSIX-like platforms, network sockets with file descriptor
- values above FD_SETSIZE are properly rejected. Previously they
- could cause memory corruption in configurations that allowed
- the limit to be reached.
+ Fixed a memory leak when rejecting client connections due to
+ the socket limit being reached (CID 66382). This affected
+ Privoxy 3.0.21 when compiled with IPv6 support (on most
+ platforms this is the default).

- Proxy authentication headers are removed unless the new directive
- enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding is used. Forwarding the
- headers potentially allows malicious sites to trick the user

- Reported by Chris John Riley.
+ Fixed an immediate-use-after-free bug (CID 66394) and two
+ additional unconfirmed use-after-free complaints made by
+ Coverity scan (CID 66391, CID 66376).

- Bug fixes:
- <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
- Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before being
- closed. This fixes page truncation issues with clients that aggressively
- pipeline data on platforms that otherwise discard already written data.
- The issue mainly affected Opera users and was initially reported
- by Kevin in #3464439, szotsaki provided additional information to track
- down the cause.
+ Properly deal with Keep-Alive headers with timeout= parameters
+ If the timeout still can't be parsed, use the configured
+ timeout instead of preventing the client from keeping the
+ connection alive. Fixes #3615312/#870 reported by Bernard Guillot.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fix latency calculation for shared connections (disabled by default).
- It was broken since their introduction in 2009. The calculated latency
- for most connections would be 0 in which case the timeout detection
- failed to account for the real latency.
+ Not using any filter files no longer results in warning messages
+ unless an action file is referencing header taggers or filters.
+ Reported by Stefan Kurtz in #3614835.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Reject URLs with invalid port. Previously they were parsed incorrectly and
- characters between the port number and the first slash were silently
- dropped as shown by curl test 187.
+ Fixed a bug that prevented Privoxy from reusing some reusable
+ connections. Two bit masks with different purpose unintentionally
+ shared the same bit.
</para>

- The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as

- Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
- connections.

- <para>
- New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were applied to
- the request.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in a
- different order than the one in which they arrived.
+ Introduced negative tag patterns NO-REQUEST-TAG and NO-RESPONSE-TAG.
+ They apply if no matching tag is found after parsing client or
+ server headers.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New directive tolerate-pipelining to allow client-side pipelining.
- If enabled (3.0.20 beta enables it by default), Privoxy will keep
- pipelined client requests around to deal with them once the current
- request has been served.
+ Add support for external filters which allow to process the
+ response body with a script or program written in any language
+ the platform supports. External filters are enabled with
+ +external-filter{} after they have been defined in one of the
+ filter files with a header line starting with "EXTERNAL-FILTER:".
+ External filter support is experimental, not compiled by default
+ and known not to work on all platforms.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New --config-test option to let Privoxy exit after checking whether or not
- the configuration seems valid. The limitations noted in TODO #22 and #23
- still apply. Based on a patch by Ramkumar Chinchani.
+ Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
- of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
+ Reject requests with unsupported Expect header values.
+ Fixes a couple of Co-Advisor tests.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Increase the hard-coded maximum number of actions and filter files from
- 10 to 30 (each). It doesn't significantly affect Privoxy's memory usage
- and recompiling wasn't an option for all Privoxy users that reached the
- limit.
+ Normalize the HTTP-version in forwarded requests and responses.
+ This is an explicit RFC 2616 MUST and RFC 7230 mandates that
+ intermediaries send their own HTTP-version in forwarded
+ messages.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for chunk-encoded client request bodies. Previously
- chunk-encoded request bodies weren't guaranteed to be forwarded correctly,
- so this can also be considered a bug fix although chunk-encoded request
- bodies aren't commonly used in the real world.
+ Client 'Keep-Alive' headers are no longer forwarded. From a user's
+ point of view it doesn't really matter, but RFC 2616 (obsolete)
+ mandates that the header is removed and this fixes a Co-Advisor
+ complaint.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for Tor's optimistic-data SOCKS extension, which can reduce the
- latency for requests on newly created connections. Currently only the
- headers are sent optimistically and only if the client request has already
- been read completely which rules out requests with large bodies.
+ Change declared template file encoding to UTF-8. The templates
+ already used a subset of UTF-8 anyway and changing the declaration
+ allows to properly display UTF-8 characters used in the action files.
+ This change may require existing action files with ISO-8859-1
+ characters that aren't valid UTF-8 to be converted to UTF-8.
+ Requested by Sam Chen in #582.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- After preventing the client from pipelining, don't signal keep-alive
- intentions. When looking at the response headers alone, it previously
- wasn't obvious from the client's perspective that no additional responses
- should be expected.
+ Do not pass rejected keep-alive timeouts to the server. It might
+ not have caused any problems (we know of), but doing the right
+ thing shouldn't hurt either.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Stop considering client sockets tainted after receiving a request with body.
- It hasn't been necessary for a while now and unnecessarily causes test
- failures when using curl's test suite.
+ Let log_error() use its own buffer size #define to make changing
+ the log buffer size slightly less inconvenient.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Allow HTTP/1.0 clients to signal interest in keep-alive through the
- Proxy-Connection header. While such client are rare in the real world, it
- doesn't hurt and couple of curl tests rely on it.
+ Turned single-threaded into a "proper" toggle directive with arguments.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Only remove duplicated Content-Type headers when filters are enabled.
- If they are not it doesn't cause ill effects and the user might not want it.
- Downgrade the removal message to LOG_LEVEL_HEADER to clarify that it's not
- an error in Privoxy and is unlikely to cause any problems in general.
- Anonymously reported in #3599335.
+ CGI templates no longer enforce new windows for some links.
</para>
</listitem>

<para>
- Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.

- Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their code block.

- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Optionally try to sanity-check strptime() results before trusting them.
- Broken strptime() implementations have caused problems in the past and
- the most recent offender seems to be FreeBSD's libc (standards/173421).
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- When filtering is enabled, let Range headers pass if the range starts at

- playback issues with various Apple clients as reported by Duc in #3426305.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Do not confuse a client hanging up with a connection time out. If a client
- closes its side of the connection without sending a request line, do not
- send the CLIENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_RESPONSE, but report the condition
- properly.
- </para>

- Reported by Adriaan in #3593603.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Remove an unreasonable parameter limit in the CGI interface. The new
- parameter limit depends on the memory available and is currently unlikely
- to be reachable, due to other limits in both Privoxy and common clients.
- Reported by Andrew on ijbswa-users@.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Decrease the chances of parse failures after requests with unsupported

- In case of SOCKS5 failures, do not explicitly log the server's response.
