- Add a receive-buffer-size directive which can be used to
- set the size of the previously statically allocated buffer
- in handle_established_connection().
- Increasing the buffer size increases Privoxy's memory usage but
- can lower the number of context switches and thereby reduce the
- CPU usage and potentially increase the throughput.
- This is mostly relevant for fast network connections and
- large downloads that don't require filtering.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests.
+ Previously Privoxy would only check the path which resulted in
+ rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs.
+ Reported by withoutname in #1736.

- Add an enable-accept-filter directive which allows to
- toggle accept filter support at run time when compiled
- with FEATURE_ACCEPT_FILTER support.
- It makes testing more convenient and now that it's
- optional we can emit an error message if enabling
- the accept filter fails.

+ https://. Previously Privoxy would use the http headers which

- Add a delay-response{} action.
- This is useful to tar pit JavaScript requests that
- are endlessly retried in case of blocks. It can also
- be used to simulate a slow Internet connection.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.
+ This unbreaks (at least) https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose
+ buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in browser warnings.

- Add a --fuzz mode which exposes Privoxy internals to input
- from files or stdout.
- Mainly tested with American Fuzzy Lop. For details see:
- https://www.fabiankeil.de/talks/fuzzing-on-freebsd/
- This work was partially funded with donations and done
- as part of the Privoxy month in 2015.
+ Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently
+ aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would wait for the client
+ to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.

- Consistently use the U(ngreedy) flag in the 'img-reorder' filter.
+ When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with
+ FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not recommended for production builds),
+ the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
+ connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the

- Improve 'socket timeout reached' message.
- Log the timeout that was triggered and downgrade the
- log level to LOG_LEVEL_CONNECT to reduce the log noise
- with common debug settings.
- The timeout isn't necessary the result of an error and
- usually merely indicates that Privoxy's socket timeout
- is lower than the relevant timeouts used by client and
- server.

- log_error(): Reduce the mutex-protected area by not using a
- heap-allocated buffer that is shared between all threads.
- This increases performance and reduces the latency with
- verbose debug settings and multiple concurrent connections.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates

+ but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using

- Let zalloc() use calloc() if it's available.
- In some situations using calloc() can be faster than
- malloc() + memset() and it should never be slower.

- expected to be noticeable.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with

- Never use select() when poll() is available.
- On most platforms select() is limited by FD_SETSIZE while
- poll() is not. This was a scaling issue for multi-user setups.
- Using poll() has no downside other than the usual risk
- that code modifications may introduce new bugs that have
- yet to be found and fixed.
- At least in theory this commit could also reduce the latency
- when there are lots of connections and select() would use
- "bit fields in arrays of integers" to store file descriptors.
- Another side effect is that Privoxy no longer has to stop
- monitoring the client sockets when pipelined requests are
- waiting but can't be read yet.
- This code keeps the select()-based code behind ifdefs for
- now but hopefully it can be removed soonish to make the
- code more readable.

<para>
- Add a 'reproducible-tarball-dist' target.
- It's currently separate from the "tarball-dist" target
- because it requires a tar implementation with mtree spec
- support.
- It's far from being perfect and does not enforce a
- reproducible mode, but it's better than nothing.
+ The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Use arc4random() if it's available.
- While Privoxy doesn't need high quality pseudo-random numbers
- there's no reason not to use them when we can and this silences
- a warning emitted by code checkers that can't tell whether or not
- the quality matters.
+ The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball.
+ It's usually out of date when the source tarball is generated
+ for the release.

<para>
- Insert a refresh tag into the /client-tags CGI page when

- Use absolute URLs in the client-tag forms.
- It's more consistent with the rest of the CGI page

- Use a dedicated CGI handler to deal with tag-toggle requests
- As a result the /client-tags page is now safe to reach without

- current state can no longer unintentionally repeat the
- previous toggle request.

- Remove a mysterious comment with a GNU FDL link as it isn't

- by the GNU FDL. The commit message (r1.5) doesn't explain the motivation
- or whether all copyright holders were actually asked and agreed to the
- declared license change.
- It's thus hard to tell whether or not the license change was legit,
- but luckily two days later the "doc license" was "put" "back to GPL"
- anyway (r1.6).
