ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Version 3.0.20 Beta ***
+*** Version 3.0.21 stable ***
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - On POSIX-like platforms, network sockets with file descriptor
+ values above FD_SETSIZE are properly rejected. Previously they
+ could cause memory corruption in configurations that allowed
+ the limit to be reached.
+ - Compiles on OS/2 again now that unistd.h is only included
+ on platforms that have it.
+
+- General improvements:
+ - The show-status page shows the FEATURE_STRPTIME_SANITY_CHECKS status.
+ - A couple of assert()s that could theoretically dereference
+ NULL pointers in debug builds have been relocated.
+ - Added an LSB info block to the generic start script.
+ Based on a patch from Natxo Asenjo.
+ - The max-client-connections default has been changed to 128
+ which should be more than enough for most setups.
+
+- Action file improvements:
+ - Block rover.ebay./ar.*\&adtype= instead of "/.*\&adtype=" which
+ caused too man false positives.
+ Reported by u302320 in #360284, additional feedback from Adam Piggott.
+ - Unblock '.advrider.com/' and '/.*ADVrider'.
+ Anonymously reported in #3603636.
+
+- Filter file improvements:
+ - Added an iframes filter.
+
+- Documentation improvements:
+ - The whole GPLv2 text is included in the user manual now,
+ so Privoxy can serve it itself and the user can read it
+ without having to wade through GPLv3 ads first.
+ - Properly numbered and underlined a couple of section titles
+ in the config that where previously overlooked due to a flaw
+ in the conversion script. Reported by Ralf Jungblut.
+ - Improved the support instruction to hopefully make it harder to
+ unintentionally provide insufficient information when requesting
+ support. Previously it wasn't obvious that the information we need
+ in bug reports is usually also required in support requests.
+ - Removed documentation about packages that haven't been provided
+ in years.
+
+- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
+ - Only log the test number when not running in verbose mode
+ The position of the test is rarely relevant and it previously
+ wasn't exactly obvious which one of the numbers was useful to
+ repeat the test with --test-number.
+
+- GNUmakefile improvements:
+ - Factor generate-config-file out of config-file to make testing
+ more convenient.
+ - The clean target now also takes care of patch leftovers.
+
+*** Version 3.0.20 beta ***
- Bug fixes:
- Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before being
