- 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.
- </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.
- </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.

- 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.
+ Fixes a memory leak when client tags are active.

<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.
+ Fixed a memory leak if multiple filters are executed
+ and the last one is skipped due to a pcre error.
+ Commit 5cfb7bc8fe. OVE-20201118-0005.

<listitem>
<para>
- New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
- of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
+ Prevent an unlikely dereference of a NULL-pointer that
+ could result in a crash if accept-intercepted-requests
+ was enabled, Privoxy failed to get the request destination
+ from the Host header and a memory allocation failed.
+ Commit 7530132349. CID 267165. OVE-20201118-0006.
</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.
+ Fixed memory leaks in the client-tags CGI handler when
+ client tags are configured and memory allocations fail.
+ Commit cf5640eb2a. CID 267168. OVE-20201118-0007.
</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.
- </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.
- </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.
- </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.
- </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.
- </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.
- </para>
- </listitem>

- </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
- the beginning. This should work around (or at least reduce) the video
- 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.

- 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>

+ Added experimental https inspection support which allows to filter
