-><P
-> <SPAN
-CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy 3.0.15 beta</SPAN
-> is a bug-fix release
- for the previous beta. The changes since 3.0.14 are:</P
-><P
-> <P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the
- client if the request arrived on a reused connection. The client
- is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering
- the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the
- "No server or forwarder data received" error message many users
- reported.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets
- with keep-alive enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from
- FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on
- all platforms.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections.
- Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting
- form data with some browser configurations.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed various latency calculation issues.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a
- forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work
- in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn't. Now it's confirmed to work
- with IE, Firefox and Chrome.
- Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers
- takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate
- the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems
- using earlier glibc version that don't support AI_ADDRCONFIG.
- Anonymously submitted in #2872591.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec
- files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for
- quite some time.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper
- error message. Previously they would be either rejected as
- invalid or cause a core dump through abort().
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered.
- They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might
- differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent()
- instead of escape() which doesn't encode all characters that matter.
- Anonymously reported in #2832722.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Various log message improvements.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.
- </P
-></LI
-></UL
-></P
-><P
-> If you missed the previous two beta versions, you may also be
- interested in the additional changes since 3.0.12, the
- last stable release:</P
-><P
-> <P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
-> Added IPv6 support. Thanks to Petr Pisar who not only provided
- the initial patch but also helped a lot with the integration.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Added client-side keep-alive support.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing
- option is enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to
- reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of
- connections problems several users reported.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The max-client-connections option has been added to restrict
- the number of client connections below a value enforced by
- the operating system.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive,
- Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support. Previously
- Privoxy would claim to allow persistence but not reuse the connection.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request
- body of the previous request. Note that Privoxy still has no real
- pipeline support and will either serialize pipelined requests or
- drop them in which case the client has to resent them.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization
- is enabled and the date couldn't be parsed.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced
- to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not
- setting any Connection header instead of using 'Connection: keep-alive'.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste
- a socket slot to remember the connection.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's
- Keep-Alive header is removed.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a bug on mingw32 where downloading large files failed if
- keep-alive support was enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log
- timestamps to be occasionally off by about a second.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching
- for groups and id.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Compressed content with extra fields couldn't be decompressed
- and would get passed to the client unfiltered. This problem
- has only be detected through statical analysis with clang as
- nobody seems to be using extra fields anyway.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If the server resets the Connection after sending only the headers
- Privoxy forwards what it got to the client. Previously Privoxy
- would deliver an error message instead.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Error messages in case of connection timeouts use the right
- HTTP status code.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If spawning a child to handle a request fails, the client
- gets an error message and Privoxy continues to listen for
- new requests right away.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The error messages in case of server-connection timeouts or
- prematurely closed server connections are now template-based.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> If zlib support isn't compiled in, Privoxy no longer tries to
- filter compressed content unless explicitly asked to do so.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> In case of connections that are denied based on ACL directives,
- the memory used for the client IP is no longer leaked.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed another small memory leak if the client request times out
- while waiting for client headers other than the request line.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The client socket is kept open until the server socket has
- been marked as unused. This should increase the chances that
- the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next
- request to the same destination. Note that this only matters
- if connection-sharing is enabled.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> A TODO list has been added to the source tarballs to give potential
- volunteers a better idea of what the current goals are. Donations
- are still welcome too: http://www.privoxy.org/faq/general.html#DONATE

+
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.23</span> stable is a bug-fix
+ release, some of the fixed bugs are security issues (CVE requests
+ pending):</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed a DoS issue in case of client requests with incorrect
+ chunk-encoded body. When compiled with assertions enabled (the
+ default) they could previously cause Privoxy to abort(). Reported
+ by Matthew Daley.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed multiple segmentation faults and memory leaks in the
+ pcrs code. This fix also increases the chances that an invalid
+ pcrs command is rejected as such. Previously some invalid
+ commands would be loaded without error. Note that Privoxy's pcrs
+ sources (action and filter files) are considered trustworthy
+ input and should not be writable by untrusted third-parties.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed an 'invalid read' bug which could at least theoretically
+ cause Privoxy to crash. So far, no crashes have been
+ observed.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Compiles with --disable-force again. Reported by Kay
+ Raven.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Client requests with body that can't be delivered no longer
+ cause pipelined requests behind them to be rejected as invalid.
+ Reported by Basil Hussain.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>If a pcrs command is rejected as invalid, Privoxy now logs the
+ cause of the problem as text. Previously the pcrs error code was
+ logged.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The tests are less likely to cause false positives.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>'.sify.com/' is no longer blocked. Apparently it is not
+ actually a pure tracking site (anymore?). Reported by Andrew on
+ ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock banners on .amnesty.de/ which aren't ads.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>The 'Would you like to donate?' section now also contains a
+ "Paypal" address.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The list of supported operating systems has been updated.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The existence of the SF support and feature trackers has been
+ deemphasized because they have been broken for months. Most of
+ the time the mailing lists still work.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The claim that default.action updates are sometimes released
+ on their own has been removed. It hasn't happened in years.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Explicitly mention that Tor's port may deviate from the
+ default when using a bundle. Requested by Andrew on
+ ijbswa-users@.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
