<listitem>
<para>
- 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).
+ 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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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).
+ Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs.
+ Previously they would always be treated like a changed host.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Actually show the FORCE_PREFIX value on the show-status page.
+ Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through
+ https://. Previously Privoxy would use the http headers which
+ may be empty on a reused connection.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ 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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time.
+ Previously Privoxy would crash.
+ Reported by: Kai Raven
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fixed a bug that prevented Privoxy from reusing some reusable
- connections. Two bit masks with different purpose unintentionally
- shared the same bit.
+ 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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- A couple of additional bugs were discovered by Coverity Scan.
- The fixes that are not expected to affect users are not explicitly
- mentioned here, for details please have a look at the CVS logs.
+ 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
+ wrong time.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected
+ requests behind the client's back. The documentation already sort
+ of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that
+ it didn't work for https-inspected requests.
+ Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Add support for filtering client request bodies by using
+ CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled with the
+ client-body-filter action.
+ Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ </para>
+ </listitem>

+ </para>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates.
+ This can happen if Privoxy was previously running with an invalid
+ TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.

+ <para>
+ Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.

+ is requested with no tags configured.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates
+ using redirects. Currently the redirects lead to the FAQ entries
+ but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using
+ redirects makes this more convenient.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with
+ FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this a
+ fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and
+ without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789.
+ windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Reject requests with unsupported Expect header values.
- Fixes a couple of Co-Advisor tests.
+ Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images'
+ directory which is no longer used. The images were relocated to
+ the user-manual directory years ago.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Let log_error() use its own buffer size #define to make changing
- the log buffer size slightly less inconvenient.
+ Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Turned single-threaded into a "proper" toggle directive with arguments.
+ Improved a couple of error messages.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- CGI templates no longer enforce new windows for some links.
+ Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a
+ key already exists.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Remove an undocumented workaround ('HOST' header removal) for
- an Apple iTunes bug that according to #729900 got fixed in 2003.
+ The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are
+ enabled at the same time.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Log a message right before exiting gracefully.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly
+ less memory.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid
+ the error message is now sent with status code 403 instead of 200.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to
+ slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when building
+ Debian packages.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used
+ instead of mbedtls_md5() which is deprecated and causes a warning
+ on Debian GNU/Linux.

+ Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix
