- - Don't gather host and resource statistics if they aren't requested.
- While the performance impact seems negligible this significantly
- reduces the memory usage if there are lots of requests.
- - Bump version as the behaviour (slightly) changed.
- - Count connection failures as well in statistics mode.

- - Count connection timeouts as well in statistics mode.

- - Fix an 'uninitialized value' warning when generating
- statistics for a log file without response headers.
- While privoxy-log-parser was supposed to detect this already,
- the check was flawed and the message the user didn't see was
- somewhat confusing anyway.
- Now the message is less confusing, more helpful and actually printed.

-- Documentation improvements:
- - Refer to the git sources instead of CVS.
- - Use GNU/Linux when referring to the OS instead of the kernel.
- - Add FAQ entry for what to do if editing the config file is access denied.
- - Add brief HTTP/2 FAQ.
- - Add a small fuzzing section to the developer documentation.
- - Add a client-header-tagger{client-ip-address} example.
- - Stop suggesting that Privoxy is an anonymizing proxy.
- The term could lead to Privoxy users overestimating
- what it can do on its own (without Tor).
- - Make it more obvious that SPI accepts Paypal, too.
- Currently most donations are made through the Paypal account
- managed by Zwiebelfreunde e.V. and a more even distribution
- would be useful.
- - Suggest to log applying actions as well when reproducing problems.
- - Explicitly mention that Privoxy binaries are built by individuals
- on their own systems. Buyer beware!
- - Mention the release feed on the homepage.
- - Remove a mysterious comment with a GNU FDL link as it isn't
- useful and could confuse license scanners.
- In May 2002 it was briefly claimed that "this document" was covered
- by the GNU FDL. The commit message (r1.5) doesn't explain the motivation
- or whether all copyright holders were actually asked and agreed to the
- declared license change.
- It's thus hard to tell whether or not the license change was legit,
- but luckily two days later the "doc license" was "put" "back to GPL"
- anyway (r1.6).
- At the same time the offending comment with a link to the FDL
- (not the GPL) was added for no obvious reason.
- Now it's gone again.
-
-- Regression tests:
- - Bump for-privoxy-version to 3.0.27 as we now rely on untrusted
- CGI request being rejected with status code 403 (instead of 200).
- - Update test for /send-stylesheet and add another one
-
-- Templates:
- - Consistently use https:// when linking to the Privoxy website.
- - Remove SourceForge references in Copyright header.
- - Remove a couple of SourceForge references in a comment.
- While at it, fix the grammar.
- - Move the site-specific documentation block before the generic one.
- While most Privoxy installations don't have a site-specific
- documentation block, in cases were it exists it's likely to
- be more relevant than the generic one.
- Showing it first makes it less likely that users stop reading
- before they reach it, especially on pages that don't fit on
- the screen.
-
-- Build system improvements:
- - Prefer openjade to jade. On some systems Jade produces
- HTML with unescaped ampersands in URLs.
- - Prefer OpenSP to SP to be consistent.
- - Have Docbook generated HTML files be straight ASCII.
- Dealing with a mixture of ISO-8859 and UTF-8 files is problematic.
- - Echo the filename to stderr for 'make dok-tidy'.
- Make it a bit easier to find errors in docbook generated HTML.
- - Warn when still using select().
- - Warn when compiling without calloc().
- - Make it more obvious that the --with-fdsetsize configure switch
- is pointless if poll() is available.
- - Remove support for AmigaOS.
- - Update windows build system to use supported software.
- The cygwin gcc -mno-cygwin option is no longer supported, so
- convert the windows build system to use the cygwin cross-compiler
- to build "native" code.
- - Add --enable-static-linking option for configure
- does the same thing as LDFLAGS=-static; ./configure
- but nicer than mixing evars and configure options.
+ - Highlight a few more messages.
+ - Add a handler for tagging messages.
+ - Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches
+ Previously the error description was highlighted as 'host'.
+ - Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully
+ and note that the statistics will be imprecise.
+ - Fixed perldoc typo.
+ - Bump version to 0.9.2.
+
+- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
+ - Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address
+ unless http_proxy is set through the environment.
+ - Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix
+ to use when building URLs that are supposed to reach Privoxy's
+ CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is
+ supposed to work with the default Privoxy configuration.
+ If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled,
+ and if https inspection is activated with the +https-inspection
+ action, this option can be used with "https://p.p/" provided the
+ system running Privoxy-Regression-Test has been configured to
+ trust the certificate used by Privoxy.
+ Note that there are currently two tests in the official
+ regression-tests.action file that are expected to fail
+ when using "https://p.p/" as privoxy-cgi-prefix.
+ - Skip the connection-established response in get_status_code()
+ when looking for the status code with a CGI prefix
+ that starts with https://. We care about the status code
+ sent by the impersonated web server.
+ - Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https://
+ and a "Host:" header.
+ - Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like
+ "TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$".
+ - When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the
+ requested page in the log message.
+ - Added a --check-bad-ssl option that can be used to verify that
+ Privoxy detects certificate problems when accessing the test
+ sites from badssl.com.
+ - Bumped version to 0.7.2
+
+- uagen:
+ - Update example output.
+ - Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation.
+ - Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://.
+ - Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems.
+ - Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR).
+ - Bumped version to 1.2.2.
+
+ - User documentation:
+ - Remove reference to 'How to Report Bugs Effectively'.
+ It was only rendered as text without URL in the README anyway
+ and there's no indication that users read it ...
+ - Let the dok-readme target fix the location embedded into the
+ README file. This used to be done by CVS but since the git migration
+ it has to be done through other means.
+ - Remove 'experimental' warning for client-specific-tag-related directives.
+ They seem to work reliably and there is no obvious reason
+ why we would change the syntax in the near future.
+ - Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with
+ FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.
+ - Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation
+ that explains how the user can create the file herself.
+ - Don't explicitly mention the license for the code coming from
+ 'Anonymous Coders' and Junkbusters. It's obviously licensed under
+ the GNU GPL like the rest of Privoxy or we wouldn't be allowed to
+ distribute it.
+ - Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output.
+ - Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation.
+ - Explicitly mention Windows 10 as supported so search engines and
+ users looking for it can find it.
+ - Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog.
+ - Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html.
+ - Upgrade a couple of links to https://.
+ - Don't prefer the SourceForge patch tracker over the
+ privoxy-devel mailing list. While at it, link to the
+ SourceForge patch tracker.
+ - Mention http-inspection in the 'my browser warns me about
+ unauthenticated content' FAQ entry.
+ - Simplify the 'Is there is a license or fee?' FAQ entry.
+ - Add another +redirect{} example.
+ - Explicitly mention that interested sponsors should include
+ the link target in their first mail.
+ - Clarify that only Privoxy team members can object to new sponsors
+ and link to the list of current team members.
+ - Note that sponsor URLs may not contain keyword spam.
+ - Garbage collect doc/webserver/images which isn't referenced anymore.
+ - Update the method to reach the proxy settings in Firefox.
+ - Update proxy_setup.jpg description to refer to Firefox.
+ - Regenerate proxy_setup.jpg with a more recent Firefox (78.0).
+ - Regenerate files-in-use.jpg without obsolete standard.action
+ with modern colors and a slightly better quality.
+ - Update URL to the actionsfile tracker.
+ - Update a support request URL.
+ - Rephrase the 'Can Privoxy run as service' FAQ entry and
+ remove an obsolete paragraph.
+ - Let the 'Where can I get updated Actions Files?' entry link to
+ the gitweb version of default.action.master.
+ - Update a link to the default.action file.
+ - Update URLs for trackers and mailing lists.
+ - Replace CVS reference with git.
+ - Mention regression-tests.action in the config file.
+ - Explicitly mention in the config file that access to the
+ CA key should be limited to Privoxy.
+ - List more client-specific-tag examples for inspiration.
+ - Add additional headers to the client-header-order example.
+ - Note that actions aren't updated after rewrites.
+ - Explicitly mention that upgrading from http to https with
+ a client-header filter is not supported
+ - Note that protocol and host have to be added when rewriting
+ the destination host for https-inspected requests.
+ - Explicitly mention that the CA key is used to sign certificates.
+ - Put openssl command in 'command' tags.
+ - The man page has been moved from section 1 to man section 8.
+
+- Developer manual:
+ - Flesh out the build instructions for Debian.
+ - Remove the packaging instructions for RPM-based systems.
+ They don't work and we don't release RPM packages anymore anyway.
+ - Remove the packaging instructions for Solaris.
+ They don't work and we don't release Solaris packages anymore anyway.
+ - Update the suggested subject for the announce mails.
+ - Update upload instructions.
+ ftp://upload.sourceforge.net is no longer functional.
+ - Remove a couple of package-dependent upload instructions
+ that don't actually work.
+ - Remove 'cd current' that no longer works.
+ - Add regression-tests.action to the list of files that should be installed.
+ - Stop claiming that there are text versions of the manuals.
+ We stopped building them in 2008 (9ed36a3c5e6f12).
+ - Note that the 'webserver' target creates the link needed for the user-manual.
+ - Suggest to use the master branch as reference when creating
+ the ChangeLog so the steps work when the current branch differs
+ from master which is likely as the developer manual
+ suggests to use a local branch for development.
+ - Add the -s flag to the suggested 'git tag' command. We prefer signed tags.
+ - Mention that merges into 'master' should be avoided.
+ - Add git commands that should result in a merge-free history.
+ - Mention Privoxy-Regression-Test.
+ - Add a section id to reduce link churn.
+ - Recommend the dok-tidy target when building docs for the webserver.
+ - Add another plug for the privoxy-devel mailing list.
+ - Let the intro link the copyright section in the user manual instead
+ of giving an incomplete summary of the license status.
+ - Clarify that the webserver target uploads to the SourceForge webserver.
+ - Mark the documentation for the Mac OS X installers as out of date and
+ change the SCM name back to CVS.
+ - Fix the location of the installer modules for Mac OS X.
+ They are not actually available through git (yet).
+ - Don't speak of Privoxy version 3 in the past tense.
+ - Update the list of programs required for the release process.
+ - Update description of the webserver target which uses ssh, not scp.
+ - Remove obsolete reference to config.new.
+
+- Tests:
+ - Add another hide-referrer{conditional-block} test.
+ - Add another hide-referrer{conditional-forge} test.
+ - Fix a hide-referrer{conditional-forge} test
+ that expected an acceptable header to be forged.
+ - Fix a hide-referrer{conditional-block} test
+ that expected an acceptable Referer to be removed.
+ - Explain why the "Set Header = Host: whatever.example.org" test is
+ expected to fail when using a CGI prefix that starts with "https://".
+ - Explain why a connection-sharing test is known to fail
+ when using "https://p.p/" as CGI prefix.
+ - Add a link to Privoxy-Regression-Test to regression-tests.action
+ in case it isn't packaged.
+ - Add regression tests for pcre host patterns.
+ - Fixed a regression test that is executed when
+ FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION is enabled.
+
+- Privoxy infrastructure:
+ - Import a Privoxy logo for the website.
+ - Update Tor onion service to HiddenServiceVersion 3.
+ - Display the "model" photos in a single row and remove placeholder images.
