- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.26</span> stable is a bug-fix release for the previously released 3.0.25
- beta which introduced client-specific tags and included a couple of minor improvements.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Fixed crashes with "listen-addr :8118" (SF Bug #902). The regression was introduced in 3.0.25 beta and
- reported by Marvin Renich in Debian bug #834941.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Log when privoxy is toggled on or off via cgi interface.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message in the Windows log viewer.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message in the Windows log viewer.</p>

- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Update download section on the homepage. The downloads are available from the website now.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add sponsor FAQ.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove obsolete reference to mailing lists hosted at SourceForge.</p>

- <li>
- <p>strptime.h: fix a compiler warning about ambiguous else.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>configure.in: Check for Docbook goo on the BSDs as well.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>GNUMakefile.in: Let the dok-user target remove temporary files.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <p>Changes between <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.25 beta</span> and the previous release:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Always use the current toggle state for new requests. Previously new requests on reused connections
- inherited the toggle state from the previous request even though the toggle state could have changed.
- Reported by Robert Klemme.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Fixed two buffer-overflows in the (deprecated) static pcre code. These bugs are not considered security
- issues as the input is trusted. Found with afl-fuzz and ASAN.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Added support for client-specific tags which allow Privoxy admins to pre-define tags that are set for
- all requests from clients that previously opted in through the CGI interface. They are useful in multi-user
- setups where admins may want to allow users to disable certain actions and filters for themselves without
- affecting others. In single-user setups they are useful to allow more fine-grained toggling. For example to
- disable request blocking while still crunching cookies, or to disable experimental filters only. This is an
- experimental feature, the syntax and behaviour may change in future versions. Sponsored by Robert
- Klemme.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Dynamic filters and taggers now support a $listen-address variable which contains the address the
- request came in on. For external filters the variable is called $PRIVOXY_LISTEN_ADDRESS. Original patch
- contributed by pursievro.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new requests. Patch contributed by
- pursievro.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal errors.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>The show-status page now shows whether or not dates before 1970 and after 2038 are expected to be
- handled properly. This is mainly useful for Privoxy-Regression-Test but could also come handy when dealing
- with time-related support requests.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to be unique now.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is logged as well.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced (CID #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211).</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download resumption and Windows updates work with the
- default configuration.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". Reported by ThTomate in #932.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Mention the new mailing lists were appropriate. As the archives have not been migrated, continue to
- mention the archives at SF in the contacting section for now.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is running as intercepting proxy without getting
- all requests.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>A bunch of links were converted to https://.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Rephrase onion service paragraph to make it more obvious that Tor is involved and that the whole website
- (and not just the homepage) is available as onion service.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Streamline the "More information" section on the homepage further by additionally ditching the link to
- the 'See also' section of the user manual. The section contains mostly links that are directly reachable
- from the homepage already and the rest is not significant enough to get a link from the homepage.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Change the add-header{} example to set the DNT header and use a complete section to make copy and
- pasting more convenient. Add a comment to make it obvious that adding the header is not recommended for
- obvious reasons. Using the DNT header as example was suggested by Leo Wzukw.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Streamline the support-and-service template Instead of linking to the various support trackers (whose
- URLs hopefully change soon), link to the contact section of the user manual to increase the chances that
- users actually read it.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add a FAQ entry for tainted sockets.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>More sections in the documentation have stable URLs now.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>FAQ: Explain why 'ping config.privoxy.org' is not expected to reach a local Privoxy installation.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Note that donations done through Zwiebelfreunde e.V. currently can't be checked automatically.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Updated section regarding starting Privoxy under OS X.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Use dedicated start instructions for FreeBSD and ElectroBSD.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Removed release instructions for AIX. They haven't been working for years and unsurprisingly nobody
- seems to care.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Removed obsolete reference to the solaris-dist target.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Updated the release instructions for FreeBSD.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Removed unfinished release instructions for Amiga OS and HP-UX 11.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Added a pointer to the Cygwin Time Machine for getting the last release of Cygwin version 1.5 to use for
- building Privoxy on Windows.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Various typos have been fixed.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Infrastructure improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>The website is no longer hosted at SourceForge and can be reached through https now.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>The mailing lists at SourceForge have been deprecated, you can subscribe to the new ones at:
- https://lists.privoxy.org/</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Migrating the remaining services from SourceForge is work in progress (TODO list item #53).</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Build system improvements:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Add configure argument to optimistically redefine FD_SETSIZE with the intent to change the maximum
- number of client connections Privoxy can handle. Only works with some libcs. Sponsored by Robert
- Klemme.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let the tarball-dist target skip files in ".git".</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let the tarball-dist target work in cwds other than current.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Make the 'clean' target faster when run from a git repository.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Include tools in the generic distribution.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let the gen-dist target work in cwds other than current.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Sort find output that is used for distribution tarballs to get reproducible results.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Don't add '-src' to the name of the tar ball generated by the gen-dist target. The package isn't a
- source distribution but a binary package. While at it, use a variable for the name to reduce the chances
- that the various references get out of sync and fix the gen-upload target which was looking in the wrong
- directory.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Add regression-tests.action to the files that are distributed.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>The gen-dist target which was broken since 2002 (r1.92) has been fixed.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove genclspec.sh which has been obsolete since 2009.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove obsolete reference to Redhat spec file.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove the obsolete announce target which has been commented out years ago.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let rsync skip files if the checksums match.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Add a "Default level offset" directive which can be used to change the default level by a given value.
- This directive affects all tests located after it until the end of the file or a another "Default level
- offset" directive is reached. The purpose of this directive is to make it more convenient to skip similar
- tests in a given file without having to remove or disable the tests completely.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Let test level 17 depend on FEATURE_64_BIT_TIME_T instead of FEATURE_PTHREAD which has no direct
- connection to the time_t size.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Fix indentation in perldoc examples.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Don't overlook directives in the first line of the action file.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Bump version to 0.7.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Fix detection of the Privoxy version now that https:// is used for the website.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <div class="SECT2">
- <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="UPGRADERSNOTE" id="UPGRADERSNOTE">3.1. Note to Upgraders</a></h2>
- <p>A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier versions of <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>The recommended way to upgrade <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is to backup your old
- configuration files, install the new ones, verify that <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is working
- correctly and finally merge back your changes using <span class="APPLICATION">diff</span> and maybe
- <span class="APPLICATION">patch</span>.</p>
- <p>There are a number of new features in each <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> release and most of
- them have to be explicitly enabled in the configuration files. Old configuration files obviously don't do
- that and due to syntax changes using old configuration files with a new <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> isn't always possible anyway.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Note that some installers remove earlier versions completely, including configuration files, therefore you
- should really save any important configuration files!</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>On the other hand, other installers don't overwrite existing configuration files, thinking you will want
- to do that yourself.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>In the default configuration only fatal errors are logged now. You can change that in the <a href=
- "config.html#DEBUG">debug section</a> of the configuration file. You may also want to enable more verbose
- logging until you verified that the new <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version is working as
- expected.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Three other config file settings are now off by default: <a href=
- "config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE">enable-remote-toggle</a>, <a href=
- "config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-HTTP-TOGGLE">enable-remote-http-toggle</a>, and <a href=
- "config.html#ENABLE-EDIT-ACTIONS">enable-edit-actions</a>. If you use or want these, you will need to
- explicitly enable them, and be aware of the security issues involved.</p>
