+ <application>Privoxy 3.0.16</application> is a stable release.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Added the config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok to
+ work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes Firefox to hang
+ if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations. The option is
+ enabled in the default config file.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Added the config file option default-server-timeout to control the
+ assumed default server timeout. Since Privoxy no longer returns
+ an error message for connection resets on reused client connections,
+ assuming larger server timeout values appears to actually work
+ pretty well as long as connections aren't shared.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Added optional support for FreeBSD's accf_http(9). Use the
+ configure option --enable-accept-filter to enable it.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Added fancier Privoxy icons for win32. Contributed by Jeff H.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Resolve localhost using whatever address family the operating
+ system feels like. Previous betas would try to use IPv4 as this
+ is what most users expect, but this didn't work reliable on
+ GNU/Linux systems.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ In the action lists on CGI pages, actions and their parameters are
+ no longer separated with a space. The action file parser doesn't
+ actually allow this and will throw an invalid syntax error if actions
+ and parameters in the action files are separated. Not adding the
+ spaces means copy and pasting CGI output into the action files works.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The default keep-alive timeout has been reduced to 5 seconds to work
+ around hangs in clients that treat the proxy like any other host and
+ stop allowing any new connections if the "maximum number of
+ connections per host" is reached.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Several webbug URLs that look like they are leading to images are now
+ blocked as image instead of empty documents. Doing the latter causes
+ WebKit-based clients to show a "missing image" icon which may mess up
+ the layout.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The no-such-domain template if used if for DNS resolution
+ problems with FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT enabled. Previously the
+ connect-failed template was used. Reported by 'zebul666'.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2
+ doesn't seem to allow them. Reported anonymously.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Don't try to forget connections if connection sharing is disabled.
+ This wasn't a real problem but caused an unnecessary log message.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The still undocumented --enable-extended-host-patterns configure
+ option has a better description.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Fixed an error message that would claim a write to the server
+ failed when actually writing to the client failed.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Log the crunch reason before trying to write to the client.
+ The log is easier to read that way.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Several log messages about client connections also mention
+ the socket number.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ handle-as-empty-document no longer depends on the image blocking
+ code being enabled.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Privoxy-Log-Parser is roughly 40% faster in highlighting mode.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ uagen, a Firefox User-Agent generator for Privoxy and Mozilla
+ browsers has been imported and is available in the tarballs
+ tools directory.
+ </para>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The scripts in the tools directory treat unknown parameters
+ as fatal errors.
