- NEWS! As of 03/24/02, the name of this project has been changed from
- ijbswa/Junkbuster to Privoxy. This is reflected in many of the included
- files.
+ March 2009, Privoxy 3.0.12 is released.
+</para>
+<para>
+ This is primarily a bug fix release. See the "ChangeLog", and the "What's
+ New" section and the "Upgrader's Notes" in <citetitle>the User
+ Manual</citetitle> for details.

+<para>
+ February 2009, Privoxy 3.0.11 is released.
</para>
<para>
- WARNING! If upgrading from earlier versions of this project via RPM packages,
- the new package will delete any previously installed 'Junkbuster' packages.
+ As usual there are changes that effect the configuration. See the "ChangeLog",
+ and the "What's New" section and the "Upgrader's Notes" in
+ <citetitle>the User Manual</citetitle> for details and specifics.
</para>
<para>
- IMPORTANT! READ! Configuration Change as of 17 Mar 2002: The default listening
- port is now 8118 due to conflicts with port 8000 assignment. You will need to
- change your browser if upgrading!!! And maybe firewall, etc.
+ This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and
+ were only released at the end of the development cycle when the code
+ was already believed to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release
+ contained pretty much the same code, but got a higher version number.
+ In the future we intend to release several snapshots between stable releases.
+ There will probably still be about two stable releases per year,
+ but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the two betas we have now.
+ The intentions is to make testing without CVS access easier.
