+
+ <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>
+ </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>
