</para>
<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
- If a generated redirect URL contains characters RFC 3986 doesn't
- permit, they are (re)encoded. Not doing this makes Privoxy versions
- from 3.0.5 to 3.0.17 susceptible to HTTP response splitting (CWE-113)
- attacks if the +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action is used.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Fix a logic bug that could cause Privoxy to reuse a server
- socket after it got tainted by a server-header-tagger-induced
- block that was triggered before the whole server response had
- been read. If keep-alive was enabled and the request following
- the blocked one was to the same host and using the same forwarding
- settings, Privoxy would send it on the tainted server socket.
- While the server would simply treat it as a pipelined request,
- Privoxy would later on fail to properly parse the server's
- response as it would try to parse the unread data from the
- first response as server headers for the second one.
- Regression introduced in 3.0.17.
+ Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before being
+ closed. This fixes page truncation issues with clients that aggressively
+ pipeline data on platforms that otherwise discard already written data.
+ The issue mainly affected Opera users and was initially reported
+ by Kevin in #3464439, szotsaki provided additional information to track
+ down the cause.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- When implying keep-alive in client_connection(), remember that
- the client didn't. Fixes a regression introduced in 3.0.13 that
- would cause Privoxy to wait for additional client requests after
- receiving a HTTP/1.1 request with "Connection: close" set
- and connection sharing enabled.
- With clients which terminates the client connection after detecting
- that the whole body has been received it doesn't really matter,
- but with clients that don't the connection would be kept open until
- it timed out.
+ Fix latency calculation for shared connections (disabled by default).
+ It was broken since their introduction in 2009. The calculated latency
+ for most connections would be 0 in which case the timeout detection
+ failed to account for the real latency.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fix a subtle race condition between prepare_csp_for_next_request()
- and sweep(). A thread preparing itself for the next client request
- could briefly appear to be inactive.
- If all other threads were already using more recent files,
- the thread could get its files swept away under its feet.
- So far this has only been reproduced while stress testing in
- valgrind while touching action files in a loop. It's unlikely
- to have caused any actual problems in the real world.
+ Reject URLs with invalid port. Previously they were parsed incorrectly and
+ characters between the port number and the first slash were silently
+ dropped as shown by curl test 187.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Disable filters if SDCH compression is used unless filtering is forced.
- If SDCH was combined with a supported compression algorithm, Privoxy
- previously could try to decompress it and ditch the Content-Encoding
- header even though the SDCH compression wasn't dealt with.
- Reported by zebul666 in #3225863.
+ The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as
+ valid value.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Make a copy of the --user value and only mess with that when splitting
- user and group. On some operating systems modifying the value directly
- is reflected in the output of ps and friends and can be misleading.
- Reported by zepard in #3292710.
+ Fix a race condition on Windows that could cause Privoxy to become
+ unresponsive after toggling it on or off through the taskbar icon.
+ Reported by Tim H. in #3525694.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- If forwarded-connect-retries is set, only retry if Privoxy is actually

<para>
- Remove an incorrect assertion in compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list()

<listitem>
<para>
- If the --user argument user[.group] contains a dot, always bail out
- if no group has been specified. Previously the intended, but undocumented
- (and apparently untested), behaviour was to try interpreting the whole
- argument as user name, but the detection was flawed and checked for '0'
- instead of '\0', thus merely preventing group names beginning with a zero.
+ Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
+ connections.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- In html_code_map[], use a numeric character reference instead of '
- which wasn't standardized before XHTML 1.0.

- <para>
- Privoxy can (re)compress buffered content before delivering
- it to the client. Disabled by default as most users wouldn't
- benefit from it.
+ New directive tolerate-pipelining to allow client-side pipelining.
+ If enabled (3.0.20 beta enables it by default), Privoxy will keep
+ pipelined client requests around to deal with them once the current
+ request has been served.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- The +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action checks URL
- segments separately. If there are other parameters behind
- the redirect URL, this makes it unnecessary to cut them off
- by additionally using a +redirect{} pcrs command.
- Initial patch submitted by Jamie Zawinski in #3429848.
+ New --config-test option to let Privoxy exit after checking whether or not
+ the configuration seems valid. The limitations noted in TODO #22 and #23
+ still apply. Based on a patch by Ramkumar Chinchani.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- When loading action sections, verify that the referenced filters
- exist. Currently missing filters only result in an error message,
- but eventually the severity will be upgraded to fatal.

+ of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Allow to bind to multiple separate addresses.
- Patch set submitted by Petr Pisar in #3354485.
+ Increase the hard-coded maximum number of actions and filter files from
+ 10 to 30 (each). It doesn't significantly affect Privoxy's memory usage
+ and recompiling wasn't an option for all Privoxy users that reached the
+ limit.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Set socket_error to errno if connecting fails in rfc2553_connect_to().
- Previously rejected direct connections could be incorrectly reported
- as DNS issues if Privoxy was compiled with IPv6 support.
+ Add support for chunk-encoded client request bodies. Previously
+ chunk-encoded request bodies weren't guaranteed to be forwarded correctly,
+ so this can also be considered a bug fix although chunk-encoded request
+ bodies aren't commonly used in the real world.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Adjust url_code_map[] so spaces are replaced with %20 instead of '+'
- While '+' can be used by client's submitting form data, this is not
- actually what Privoxy is using the lookups for. This is more of a
- cosmetic issue and doesn't fix any known problems.
+ Add support for Tor's optimistic-data SOCKS extension, which can reduce the
+ latency for requests on newly created connections. Currently only the
+ headers are sent optimistically and only if the client request has already
+ been read completely which rules out requests with large bodies.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- When compiled without FEATURE_FAST_REDIRECTS, do not silently
- ignore +fast-redirect{} directives
+ After preventing the client from pipelining, don't signal keep-alive
+ intentions. When looking at the response headers alone, it previously
+ wasn't obvious from the client's perspective that no additional responses
+ should be expected.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Added a workaround for GNU libc's strptime() reporting negative
- year values when the parsed year is only specified with two digits.
- On affected systems cookies with such a date would not be turned
- into session cookies by the +session-cookies-only action.
- Reported by Vaeinoe in #3403560
+ Stop considering client sockets tainted after receiving a request with body.
+ It hasn't been necessary for a while now and unnecessarily causes test
+ failures when using curl's test suite.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fixed bind failures with certain GNU libc versions if no non-loopback
- IP address has been configured on the system. This is mainly an issue
- if the system is using DHCP and Privoxy is started before the network
- is completely configured.
- Reported by Raphael Marichez in #3349356.
- Additional insight from Petr Pisar.
+ Allow HTTP/1.0 clients to signal interest in keep-alive through the
+ Proxy-Connection header. While such client are rare in the real world, it
+ doesn't hurt and couple of curl tests rely on it.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Privoxy log messages now use the ISO 8601 date format %Y-%m-%d.
- It's only slightly longer than the old format, but contains
- the full date including the year and allows sorting by date
- (when grepping in multiple log files) without hassle.
+ Only remove duplicated Content-Type headers when filters are enabled.
+ If they are not it doesn't cause ill effects and the user might not want it.
+ Downgrade the removal message to LOG_LEVEL_HEADER to clarify that it's not
+ an error in Privoxy and is unlikely to cause any problems in general.
+ Anonymously reported in #3599335.

- In get_last_url(), do not bother trying to decode URLs that do

- Streamline socks5_connect() slightly.

<para>
- In socks5_connect(), require a complete socks response from the server.
- Previously Privoxy didn't care how much data the server response
- contained as long as the first two bytes contained the expected
- values. While at it, shrink the buffer size so Privoxy can't read
- more than a whole socks response.
+ Do not confuse a client hanging up with a connection time out. If a client
+ closes its side of the connection without sending a request line, do not
+ send the CLIENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_RESPONSE, but report the condition
+ properly.
