-> 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.
+> Added the config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok to
+ work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes Firefox to hang
+ if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations. The option is
+ enabled in the default config file.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets
- with keep-alive enabled.
+> Added the config option default-server-timeout to control the
+ assumed default server timeout. Since Privoxy no longer returns
+ an error message for connection resets on reused client connections,
+ assuming larger server timeout values appears to actually work
+ pretty well as long as connections aren't shared.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from
- FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on
- all platforms.
+> Added optional support for FreeBSD's accf_http(9). Use the
+ configure option --enable-accept-filter to enable it.
</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.
+> Added fancier Privoxy icons for win32. Contributed by Jeff H.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Fixed various latency calculation issues.
+> In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null.
</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
+> Resolve localhost using whatever address family the operating
+ system feels like. Previous betas would try to use IPv4 as this
+ is what most users expect, but this didn't work reliable on
+ GNU/Linux systems.
</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.
+> In the action lists on CGI pages, actions and their parameters are
+ no longer separated with a space. The action file parser doesn't
+ actually allow this and will throw an invalid syntax error if actions
+ and parameters in the action files are separated. Not adding the
+ spaces means copy and pasting CGI output into the action files works.
</P

><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.
+> The default keep-alive timeout has been reduced to 5 seconds to work
+ around hangs in clients that treat the proxy like any other host and
+ stop allowing any new connections if the "maximum number of
+ connections per host" is reached.
</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.
+> Several webbug URLs that look like they are leading to images are now
+ blocked as image instead of empty documents. Doing the latter causes
+ WebKit-based clients to show a "missing image" icon which may mess up
+ the layout.
</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().
+> Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2
+ doesn't seem to allow them. Reported anonymously.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered.
- They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.
+> Don't try to forget connections if connection sharing is disabled.
+ This wasn't a real problem but caused an unnecessary log message.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might
- differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.
+> The still undocumented --enable-extended-host-patterns configure
+ option has a better description.
</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.
+> Fixed an error message that would claim a write to the server
+ failed when actually writing to the client failed.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
+> Log the crunch reason before trying to write to the client.
+ The log is easier to read that way.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Various log message improvements.
+> Several log messages about client connections also mention
+ the socket number.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
+> handle-as-empty-document no longer depends on the image blocking
+ code being enabled.
</P

-> Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.
+> Privoxy-Log-Parser is roughly 40% faster in highlighting mode.
