<title>What's New in this Release</title>
<para>
- There are many improvements and new features since <application>Privoxy 3.0.6</application>, the last stable release:
+ <application>Privoxy 3.0.12</application> is mainly a bugfix release:
</para>

<itemizedlist>

<para>
- Two new actions <link
- linkend="server-header-tagger">server-header-tagger</link>
- and <link
- linkend="client-header-tagger">client-header-tagger</link>
- that can be used to create arbitrary <quote>tags</quote>
- based on client and server headers.
- These <quote>tags</quote> can then subsequently be used
- to control the other actions used for the current request,
- greatly increasing &my-app;'s flexibility and selectivity. See <link
- linkend="tag-pattern">tag patterns</link> for more information on tags.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Header filtering is done with dedicated header filters now. As a result
- the actions <quote>filter-client-headers</quote> and <quote>filter-server-headers</quote>
- that were introduced with <application>Privoxy 3.0.5</application> to apply
- content filters to the headers have been removed.
- See the new actions <link

- and <link

- <para>
- <link
- linkend="accept-intercepted-requests">accept-intercepted-requests</link>
- which allows to combine Privoxy with any packet filter to create an
- intercepting proxy for HTTP/1.1 requests (and for HTTP/1.0 requests
- with Host header set). This means clients can be forced to use
- &my-app; even if their proxy settings are configured differently.

+ The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose
+ select() implementation modifies the timeout structure.
+ Previously the timeout was triggered even if the connection

+ </listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- A new command line option <literal>--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname</literal> to
- initialize the resolver library before chroot'ing. On some systems this
- reduces the number of files that must be copied into the chroot tree.
- (Patch provided by Stephen Gildea)
+ The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
+ larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too

</para>

<listitem>
<para>
- The <link

- allows changing of the forwarding settings through the actions files.
- Combined with tags, this allows to choose the forwarder based on

- </para>
+ The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.

<para>
- The <link

<para>
- <application>zlib</application> support is now available as a compile
