- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.25</span> beta introduces
- client-specific tags and includes a couple of minor improvements. It will
- be followed by a stable release in the near future.</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>

+ </h1>
+ <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>
+ <p>
+ </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>
+ <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>Note that some installers remove earlier versions completely,
- including configuration files, therefore you should really save any
- important configuration files!</p>
+ <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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a
+ potentionally more appropriate alternative.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>On the other hand, other installers don't overwrite existing
- configuration files, thinking you will want to do that
- yourself.</p>
+ <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>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Update the "Before the Release" section of the developer
+ manual.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
</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>
+ <p>
+ Infrastructure improvements:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Add perl script to generate an RSS feed for the packages
+ Submitted by "Unknown".
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
</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>
+ <p>
+ Build system improvements:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <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>

+ <p>
+ Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". Reported by ThTomate in #932.
+ </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>
+ <p>
+ Note that donations done through Zwiebelfreunde e.V.
+ currently can't be checked automatically.

+ <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>

+ 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.

+ <a name="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>
+ <p>
+ </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.
