- Announcing Privoxy v.3.0.17 stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This is mainly a bug-fix release for the previously released Privoxy 3.0.16.
-
-It contains fixes for two bugs that could cause connections to hang under
-certain circumstances when keep-alive support was enabled, until they timed
-out or where closed by the server.
+ Announcing Privoxy 3.0.21 stable
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
-See http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.17/user-manual/whatsnew.html for details.
+This is a bug-fix release for Privoxy 3.0.20 beta. It also addresses
+a security issue that affects all previous Privoxy versions (on some
+platforms).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Version 3.0.17 Stable ***
-
-- Fixed last-chunk-detection for responses where the content was small
- enough to be read with the body, causing Privoxy to wait for the
- end of the content until the server closed the connection or the
- request timed out. Reported by "Karsten" in #3028326.
-- Responses with status code 204 weren't properly detected as body-less
- like RFC2616 mandates. Like the previous bug, this caused Privoxy to
- wait for the end of the content until the server closed the connection
- or the request timed out. Fixes #3022042 and #3025553, reported by a
- user with no visible name. Most likely also fixes a bunch of other
- AJAX-related problem reports that got closed in the past due to
- insufficient information and lack of feedback.
-- Fixed an ACL bug that made it impossible to build a blacklist.
- Usually the ACL directives are used in a whitelist, which worked
- as expected, but blacklisting is still useful for public proxies
- where one only needs to deny known abusers access.
-- Added LOG_LEVEL_RECEIVED to log the not-yet-parsed data read from the
- network. This should make debugging various parsing issues a lot easier.
-- The IPv6 code is enabled by default on Windows versions that support it.
- Patch submitted by oCameLo in #2942729.
-- In mingw32 versions, the user.filter file is reachable through the
- GUI, just like default.filter is. Feature request 3040263.
-- Added the configure option --enable-large-file-support to set a few
- defines that are required by platforms like GNU/Linux to support files
- larger then 2GB. Mainly interesting for users without proper logfile
- management.
-- Logging with "debug 16" no longer stops at the first nul byte which is
- pretty useless. Non-printable characters are replaced with their hex value
- so the result can't span multiple lines making parsing them harder then
- necessary.
-- Privoxy logs when reading an action, filter or trust file.
-- Fixed incorrect regression test markup which caused a test in
- 3.0.16 to fail while Privoxy itself was working correctly.
- While Privoxy accepts hide-referer, too, the action name is actually
- hide-referrer which is also the name used one the final results page,
- where the test expected the alias.
-
-- CGI interface improvements:
- - In finish_http_response(), continue to add the 'Connection: close'
- header if the client connection will not be kept alive.
- Anonymously pointed out in #2987454.
- - Apostrophes in block messages no longer cause parse errors
- when the blocked page is viewed with JavaScript enabled.
- Reported by dg1727 in #3062296.
- - Fix a bunch of anchors that used underscores instead of dashes.
- - Allow to keep the client connection alive after crunching the previous request.
- Already opened server connections can be kept alive, too.
- - In cgi_show_url_info(), don't forget to prefix URLs that only contain
- http:// or https:// in the path. Fixes #2975765 reported by Adam Piggott.
- - Show the 404 CGI page if cgi_send_user_manual() is called while
- local user manual delivery is disabled.
+*** 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
+ 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.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as
+ valid value.
+ - 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.
+ - Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6 support.
+ - Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() in case of
+ socks5 connection failures with "debug 2" enabled.
+ - Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() if a filter
+ contained nul bytes in the replacement text.
+
+- General improvements:
+ - Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
+ connections.
+ - New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were applied to
+ the request.
+ - New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in a
+ different order than the one in which they arrived.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
+ of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.
+ - Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their code block.
+ It's required when compiling with gcc 2.95 which is still used on some
+ platforms. Initial patch submitted by Simon South in #3564815.
+ - Optionally try to sanity-check strptime() results before trusting them.
+ Broken strptime() implementations have caused problems in the past and
+ the most recent offender seems to be FreeBSD's libc (standards/173421).
+ - When filtering is enabled, let Range headers pass if the range starts at
+ the beginning. This should work around (or at least reduce) the video
+ playback issues with various Apple clients as reported by Duc in #3426305.
+ - 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.
+ - Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as they are
+ escaped.
+ - On Windows, the logfile is now written before showing the GUI error
+ message which blocks until the user acknowledges it.
+ Reported by Adriaan in #3593603.
+ - Remove an unreasonable parameter limit in the CGI interface. The new
+ parameter limit depends on the memory available and is currently unlikely
+ to be reachable, due to other limits in both Privoxy and common clients.
+ Reported by Andrew on ijbswa-users@.
+ - Decrease the chances of parse failures after requests with unsupported
+ methods were sent to the CGI interface.
- Action file improvements:
- - Enable user.filter by default. Suggested by David White in #3001830.
- - Block .sitestat.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002725.
- - Block .atemda.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002723.
- - Block js.adlink.net/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002720.
- - Block .analytics.yahoo.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002713.
- - Block sb.scorecardresearch.com, too. Reported by dg1727 in #2992652.
- - Fix problems noticed on Yahoo mail and news pages.
- - Remove the too broad yahoo section, only keeping the
- fast-redirects exception as discussed on ijbswa-devel@.
- - Don't block adesklets.sourceforge.net. Reported in #2974204.
- - Block chartbeat ping tracking. Reported in #2975895.
- - Tag CSS and image requests with cautious and medium settings, too.
- - Don't handle view.atdmt.com as image. It's used for click-throughs
- so users should be able to "go there anyway".
- Reported by Adam Piggott in #2975927.
- - Also let the refresh-tags filter remove invalid refresh tags where
- the 'url=' part is missing. Anonymously reported in #2986382.
- While at it, update the description to mention the fact that only
- refresh tags with refresh times above 9 seconds are covered.
- - javascript needs to be blocked with +handle-as-empty-document to
- work around Firefox bug 492459. So move .js blockers from
- +block{Might be a web-bug.} -handle-as-empty-document to
- +block{Might be a web-bug.} +handle-as-empty-document.
- - ijbswa-Feature Requests-3006719 - Block 160x578 Banners.
- - Block another omniture tracking domain.
- - Added a range-requests tagger.
- - Added two sections to get Flickr's Ajax interface working with
- default pre-settings. If you change the configuration to block
- cookies by default, you'll need additional exceptions.
- Reported by Mathias Homann in #3101419 and by Patrick on ijbswa-users@.
+ - Remove the comment that indicated that updated default.action versions
+ are released on their own.
+ - Block 'optimize.indieclick.com/' and 'optimized-by.rubiconproject.com/'
+ - Unblock 'adjamblog.wordpress.com/' and 'adjamblog.files.wordpress.com/'.
+ Reported by Ryan Farmer in #3496116.

+ - Unblock '.urbandictionary.com/popular'.
+ - Block '.adnxs.com/'.
+ - Block 'farm.plista.com/widgetdata.php'.
+ - Block 'rotation.linuxnewmedia.com/'.
+ - Block 'reklamy.sfd.pl/'. Reported by kacperdominik in #3399948.
+ - Block 'g.adspeed.net/'.
+ - Unblock 'websupport.wdc.com/'. Reported by Adam Piggot in #3577851.
+ - Block '/openx/www/delivery/'.
+ - Disable fast-redirects for '.googleapis.com/'.
+ - Block 'imp.double.net/'. Reported by David Bo in #3070411.
+ - Block 'gm-link.com/' which is used for email tracking.
+ Reported by David Bo in #1812733.
+ - Verify that requests to "bwp." are blocked. URL taken from #1736879
+ submitted by Francois Marier.
+ - Block '/.*bannerid='. Reported by Adam Piggott in #2975779.
+ - Block 'cltomedia.info/delivery/' and '.adexprt.com/'.
+ Anonymously reported in #2965254.
+ - Block 'de17a.com/'. Reported by David Bo in #3061472.

+ - Block requests for 'pool.*.adhese.com/'. Reported by johnd16 in #3002716.
+ - Update path pattern for Coremetrics and add tests.
+ Pattern and URLs submitted by Adam Piggott #3168443.
+ - Enable +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} for 'tr.anp.se/'.

+ Submitted by Adam Piggott in #3596089.
+
+- Filter file improvements & bug fixes:
+ - Add a referer tagger.
+ - Reduce the likelihood that the google filter messes up HTML-generating
+ JavaScript. Reported by Zeno Kugy in #3520260.
- Documentation improvements:
- - Explicitly mention how to match all URLs.
- - Consistently recommend socks5 in the Tor FAQ entry and mention
- its advantage compared to socks4a. Reported by David in #2960129.
- - Slightly improve the explanation of why filtering may appear
- slower than it is.
- - Grammar fixes for the ACL section.
- - Fixed a link to the 'intercepting' entry and add another one.
- - Rename the 'Other' section to 'Mailing Lists' and reword it
- to make it clear that nobody is forced to use the trackers
- - Note that 'anonymously' posting on the trackers may not always
- be possible.
- - Suggest to enable debug 32768 when suspecting parsing problems.
-
-- Privoxy-Log-Parser improvements:
- - Gather statistics for ressources, methods, and HTTP versions
- used by the client.
- - Also gather statistics for blocked and redirected requests.
- - Provide the percentage of keep-alive offers the client accepted.
- - Add a --url-statistics-threshold option.
- - Add a --host-statistics-threshold option to also gather
- statistics about how many request where made per host.
- - Fix a bug in handle_loglevel_header() where a 'scan: ' got lost.
- - Add a --shorten-thread-ids option to replace the thread id with
- a decimal number.
- - Accept and ignore: Looks like we got the last chunk together
- with the server headers. We better stop reading.
- - Accept and ignore: Continue hack in da house.
- - Accept and higlight: Rejecting connection from 10.0.0.2.
- Maximum number of connections reached.
- - Accept and highlight: Loading actions file: /usr/local/etc/privoxy/default.action
- - Accept and highlight: Loading filter file: /usr/local/etc/privoxy/default.filter
- - Accept and highlight: Killed all-caps Host header line: HOST: bestproxydb.com
- - Accept and highlight: Reducing expected bytes to 0. Marking
- the server socket tainted after throwing 4 bytes away.
- - Accept: Merged multiple header lines to: 'X-FORWARDED-PROTO: http X-HOST: 127.0.0.1'
+ - Revised all OS X sections due to new packaging module (OSXPackageBuilder).
+ - Update the list of supported operating systems to clarify that all Windows
+ versions after 95 are expected to work and note that the platform-specific
+ code for AmigaOS and QNX currently isn't maintained.
+ - Update 'Signals' section, the only explicitly handled signals are SIGINT,
+ SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
+ - Add Haiku to the list of operating systems on which Privoxy is known to
+ run.
+ - Add DragonFly to the list of BSDs on which Privoxy is known to run.
+ - Removed references to redhat-specific documentation set since it no longer
+ exists.
+ - Removed references to building PDFs since we no longer do so.
+ - Multiple listen-address directives are supported since 3.0.18, correct the
+ documentation to say so.
+ - Remove bogus section about long and short being preferable to int.
+ - Corrected some Internet JunkBuster references to Privoxy.
+ - Removed references to www.junkbusters.com since it is no longer
+ maintained. Reported by Angelina Matson.
+ - Various grammar and spelling corrections
+ - Add a client-header-tagger{} example for disabling filtering for range
+ requests.
+ - Correct a URL in the "Privoxy with Tor" FAQ.
+ - Spell 'refresh-tags' correctly. Reported by Don in #3571927.
+ - Sort manpage options alphabetically.
+ - Remove an incorrect sentence in the toggle section. The toggle state
+ doesn't affect whether or not the Windows version uses the tray icon.
+ Reported by Zeno Kugy in #3596395.
+ - Add new contributors since 3.0.19.
+
+- Log message improvements:
+ - When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining, additionally log
+ the socket number.
+ - Log the client socket and its condition before closing it. This makes it
+ more obvious that the socket actually gets closed and should help when
+ diagnosing problems like #3464439.
+ - In case of SOCKS5 failures, do not explicitly log the server's response.
+ It hasn't helped so far and the response can already be logged by enabling
+ "debug 32768" anyway. This reverts v1.81 and the follow-up bug fix v1.84.
+ - Relocate the connection-accepted message from listen_loop() to serve().
+ This way it's printed by the thread that is actually serving the
+ connection which is nice when grepping for thread ids in log files.
- Code cleanups:
- - Remove the next member from the client_state struct. Only the main
- thread needs access to all client states so give it its own struct.
- - Garbage-collect request_contains_null_bytes().
- - Ditch redundant code in unload_configfile().
- - Ditch LogGetURLUnderCursor() which doesn't seem to be used anywhere.
- - In write_socket(), remove the write-only variable write_len in
- an ifdef __OS2__ block. Spotted by cppcheck.
- - In connect_to(), don't declare the variable 'flags' on OS/2 where
- it isn't used. Spotted by cppcheck.
- - Limit the scope of various variables. Spotted by cppcheck.
- - In add_to_iob(), turn an interestingly looking for loop into a
- boring while loop.
- - Code cleanup in preparation for external filters.
- - In listen_loop(), mention the socket on which we accepted the
- connection, not just the source IP address.
- - In write_socket(), also log the socket we're writing to.
- - In log_error(), assert that escaped characters get logged
- completely or not at all.
- - In log_error(), assert that ival and sval have reasonable values.
- There's no reason not to abort() if they don't.
- - Remove an incorrect cgi_error_unknown() call in a
- cannnot-happen-situation in send_crunch_response().
- - Clean up white-space in http_response definition and
- move the crunch_reason to the beginning.
- - Turn http_response.reason into an enum and rename it
- to http_response.crunch_reason.
- - Silence a 'gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2' warning on i686 GNU/Linux.
- - Fix white-space in a log message in remove_chunked_transfer_coding().
- While at it, add a note that the message doesn't seem to
- be entirely correct and should be improved later on.
+ - Remove compatibility layer for versions prior to 3.0 since it has been
+ obsolete for more than 10 years now.
+ - Remove the ijb_isupper() and ijb_tolower() macros from parsers.c since
+ they aren't used in this file.
+ - Removed the 'Functions declared include:' comment sections since they tend
+ to be incomplete, incorrect and out of date and the benefit seems
+ questionable.
+ - Various comment grammar and comprehensibility improvements.
+ - Remove a pointless fflush() call in chat(). Flushing all streams pretty
+ much all the time for no obvious reason is ridiculous.
+ - Relocate ijb_isupper()'s definition to project.h and get the ijb_tolower()
+ definition from there, too.
+ - Relocate ijb_isdigit()'s definition to project.h.
+ - Rename ijb_foo macros to privoxy_foo.
+ - Add malloc_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where malloc()
+ failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
+ - Add strdup_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where strdup()
+ failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
+ - Replace strdup() calls with strdup_or_die() calls where it's safe and
+ simplifies the code.
+ - Fix white-space around parentheses.
+ - Add missing white-space behind if's and the following parentheses.
+ - Unwrap a memcpy() call in resolve_hostname_to_ip().
+ - Declare pcrs_get_delimiter()'s delimiters[] static const.
+ - Various optimisations to remove dead code and merge inefficient code
+ structures for improved clarity, performance or code compactness.
+ - Various data type corrections.
+ - Change visibility of several code segments when compiling without
+ FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE enabled for clarity.
+ - In pcrs_get_delimiter(), do not use delimiters outside the ASCII range.
+ Fixes a clang complaint.
+ - Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to see.
+ Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.
+ - Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted by Matthew
+ Fischer in #3507304.
+ - Shorten ssplit()'s prototype by removing the last two arguments. We always
+ want to skip empty fields and ignore leading delimiters, so having
+ parameters for this only complicates the API.
+ - Use an enum for the type of the action value.
+ - Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it isn't used as
+ boolean.
+ - Turn family mismatches in match_sockaddr() into fatal errors.
+ - Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass a header
+ containing either \r or \n.
+ - Change the hashes used in load_config() to unsigned int. That's what
+ hash_string() actually returns and using a potentially larger type
+ is at best useless.
+ - Use privoxy_tolower() instead of vanilla tolower() with manual casting of
+ the argument.
+ - Catch ssplit() failures in parse_cgi_parameters().
+
+- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
+ - Add an 'Overwrite condition' directive to skip any matching tests before
+ it. As it has a global scope, using it is more convenient than clowning
+ around with the Ignore directive.
+ - Log to STDOUT instead of STDERR.
+ - Include the Privoxy version in the output.
+ - Various grammar and spelling corrections in documentation and code.
+ - Additional tests for range requests with filtering enabled.
+ - Tests with mostly invalid range request.
+ - Add a couple of hide-if-modified-since{} tests with different date formats.
+ - Cleaned up the format of the regression-tests.action file to match the
+ format of default.action.
+ - Remove the "Copyright" line from print_version(). When using --help, every
+ line of screen space matters and thus shouldn't be wasted on things the
+ user doesn't care about.
+
+- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
+ - Improve the --statistics performance by skipping sanity checks for input
+ that shouldn't affect the results anyway. Add a --strict-checks option
+ that enables some of the checks again, just in case anybody cares.
+ - The distribution of client requests per connection is included in
+ the --statistic output.
+ - The --accept-unknown-messages option has been removed and the behavior
+ is now the default.
+ - Accept and (mostly) highlight new log messages introduced with
+ Privoxy 3.0.20.
+
+- uagen:
+ - Bump generated Firefox version to 17.
- GNUmakefile improvements:
- - Use $(SSH) instead of ssh, so one only needs to specify a username once.
- - Removed references to the action feedback thingy that hasn't been
- working for years.
- - Consistently use shell.sourceforge.net instead of shell.sf.net so
- one doesn't need to check server fingerprints twice.
- - Removed GNUisms in the webserver and webactions targets so they
- work with standard tar.
+ - The dok-tidy target no longer taints documents with a tidy-mark
+ - Change RA_MODE from 0664 to 0644. Suggested by Markus Dittrich in
+ #3505445.
+ - Remove tidy's clean flag as it changes the scope of attributes.
+ Link-specific colors end up being applied to all text. Reported by Adam
+ Piggott in #3569551.
+ - Leave it up to the user whether or not smart tags are inserted.
+ - Let w3m itself do the line wrapping for the config file. It works better
+ than fmt as it can honour pre tags causing less unintentional line breaks.
+ - Ditch a pointless '-r' passed to rm to delete files.
+ - The config-file target now requires less manual intervention and updates
+ the original config.
+ - Change WDUMP to generate ASCII. Add WDUMP_UTF8 to allow UTF-8 in the
+ AUTHORS file so the names are right.
+ - Stop pretending that lynx and links are supported for the documentation.
+
+- configure improvements:
+ - On Haiku, do not pass -lpthread to the compiler. Haiku's pthreads
+ implementation is contained in its system library, libroot, so no

+ AmigaOS. Add additional library-related settings to remove the need for
