- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.27</span> stable scales better in multi-user environments and brings a
- couple of tuning directives. <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.28</span> stable fixes two regressions
- introduced in 3.0.27.</p>
- <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.28</span> stable:</p>
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.33</span> fixes an XSS issue and multiple DoS issues and a couple of other
+ bugs. The issues also affect earlier Privoxy releases. <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.33</span> also comes
+ with a couple of general improvements an new features.</p>
+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.33</span> stable:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Bug fixes for regressions in 3.0.27:</p>
+ <p>Security/Reliability:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Fixed misplaced parentheses. Reported by David Binderman.</p>
+ <p>cgi_error_no_template(): Encode the template name to prevent XSS (cross-side scripting) when Privoxy is
+ configured to servce the user-manual itself. Commit 0e668e9409c. OVE-20211102-0001. CVE-2021-44543.
+ Reported by: Artem Ivanov</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Changed two regression tests to depend on config directive enable-remote-toggle instead of
- FEATURE_TOGGLE.</p>
+ <p>get_url_spec_param(): Free memory of compiled pattern spec before bailing. Reported by Joshua Rogers
+ (Opera) who also provided the fix. Commit 652b4b7cb0. OVE-20211201-0003. CVE-2021-44540.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>process_encrypted_request_headers(): Free header memory when failing to get the request destination.
+ Reported by Joshua Rogers (Opera) who also provided the fix. Commit 0509c58045. OVE-20211201-0002.
+ CVE-2021-44541.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>send_http_request(): Prevent memory leaks when handling errors Reported by Joshua Rogers (Opera) who
+ also provided the fix. Commit c48d1d6d08. OVE-20211201-0001. CVE-2021-44542.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Skip the poll()/select() calls if TLS data is pending on the server
+ socket. The TLS library may have already consumed all the data from the server response in which case
+ poll() and select() will not detect that data is available to be read. Fixes SF bug #926 reported by Wen
+ Yue.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>continue_https_chat(): Update csp->server_connection.request_sent after sending the request to make
+ sure the latency is calculated correctly. Previously https connections were not reused after timeout
+ seconds after the first request made on the connection.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>free_pattern_spec(): Don't try to free an invalid pointer when unloading an action file with a TAG
+ pattern while Privoxy has been compiled without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS. Closes: SF patch request #147.
+ Patch by Maxim Antonov.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Adjust build_request_line() to create a CONNECT request line when https-inspecting and forwarding to a
+ HTTP proxy. Fixes SF bug #925 reported by Wen Yue.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>load_config(): Add a space that was missing in a log message.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>read_http_request_body(): Fix two error messages that used an incorrect variable.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>If the the response is chunk-encoded, ignore the Content-Length header sent by the server. Allows to
+ load https://redmine.lighttpd.net/ with filtering enabled.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.27</span> stable:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
<p>General improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Add a receive-buffer-size directive which can be used to set the size of the previously statically
- allocated buffer in handle_established_connection(). Increasing the buffer size increases Privoxy's memory
- usage but can lower the number of context switches and thereby reduce the CPU usage and potentially
- increase the throughput. This is mostly relevant for fast network connections and large downloads that
- don't require filtering. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Allow to edit the add-header action through the CGI editor by generalizing the code that got added with
+ the suppress-tag action. Closes SF patch request #146. Patch by Maxim Antonov.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a listen-backlog directive which specifies the backlog value passed to listen(). Sponsored by:
- Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Add a CGI handler for /wpad.dat that returns a Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file. Among other things,
+ it can be used to instruct clients through DHCP to use Privoxy as proxy. For example with the dnsmasq
+ option: dhcp-option=252,http://config.privoxy.org/wpad.dat Initial patch by Richard Schneidt.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add an enable-accept-filter directive which allows to toggle accept filter support at run time when
- compiled with FEATURE_ACCEPT_FILTER support. It makes testing more convenient and now that it's optional we
- can emit an error message if enabling the accept filter fails. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Don't log the applied actions in process_encrypted_request() Log them in continue_https_chat() instead
+ to mirror chat(). Prevents the applied actions from getting logged twice for the first request on an
+ https-inspected connection.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a delay-response{} action. This is useful to tar pit JavaScript requests that are endlessly retried
- in case of blocks. It can also be used to simulate a slow Internet connection. Sponsored by: Robert
- Klemme</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use config.privoxy.org as Common Name Org and Org Unit if the real
+ host name is too long to get accepted by OpenSSL. Clients should only care about the Subject Alternative
+ Name anyway and we can continue to use the real host name for it. Reported by Miles Wen on
+ privoxy-users@.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a 'trusted-cgi-referrer' directive. It allows to configure another page or site that can be used to
- reach sensitive CGI resources. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Establish the TLS connection with the client earlier and decide how to route the request afterwards.
+ This allows to change the forwarding settings based on information from the https-inspected request, for
+ example the path.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a --fuzz mode which exposes Privoxy internals to input from files or stdout. Mainly tested with
- American Fuzzy Lop. For details see: https://www.fabiankeil.de/talks/fuzzing-on-freebsd/ This work was
- partially funded with donations and done as part of the Privoxy month in 2015.</p>
+ <p>listen_loop(): When shutting down gracefully, close listening ports before waiting for the threads to
+ exit. Allows to start a second Privoxy with the same config file while the first Privoxy is still
+ running.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Consistently use the U(ngreedy) flag in the 'img-reorder' filter.</p>
+ <p>serve(): Close the client socket as well if the server socket for an inspected connection has been
+ closed. Privoxy currently can't establish a new server connection when the client socket is reused and
+ would drop the connection in continue_https_chat() anyway.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>listen_loop(): Reuse a single thread attribute object The object doesn't change and creating a new one
- for every thread is a waste of (CPU) time. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Don't disable redirect checkers in redirect_url(). Disable them in handle_established_connection()
+ instead. Doing it in redirect_url() prevented the +redirect{} and +fast-redirects{} actions from being
+ logged with LOG_LEVEL_ACTIONS.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Free csp resources in the thread that belongs to the csp instead of the main thread which has enough on
- its plate already. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Improve 'socket timeout reached' message. Log the timeout that was triggered and downgrade the log level
- to LOG_LEVEL_CONNECT to reduce the log noise with common debug settings. The timeout isn't necessary the
- result of an error and usually merely indicates that Privoxy's socket timeout is lower than the relevant
- timeouts used by client and server. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Explicitly taint the server socket in case of CONNECT requests. This doesn't fix any known problems, but
- makes some log messages less confusing.</p>
+ <p>socks5_connect(): Fix indentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let write_pid_file() terminate if the pid file can't be opened. Logging the issue at info level is
- unlikely to help.</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>log_error(): Reduce the mutex-protected area by not using a heap-allocated buffer that is shared between
- all threads. This increases performance and reduces the latency with verbose debug settings and multiple
- concurrent connections. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let zalloc() use calloc() if it's available. In some situations using calloc() can be faster than
- malloc() + memset() and it should never be slower. In the real world the impact of this change is not
- expected to be noticeable. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Fix comment typos.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Never use select() when poll() is available. On most platforms select() is limited by FD_SETSIZE while
- poll() is not. This was a scaling issue for multi-user setups. Using poll() has no downside other than the
- usual risk that code modifications may introduce new bugs that have yet to be found and fixed. At least in
- theory this commit could also reduce the latency when there are lots of connections and select() would use
- "bit fields in arrays of integers" to store file descriptors. Another side effect is that Privoxy no longer
- has to stop monitoring the client sockets when pipelined requests are waiting but can't be read yet. This
- code keeps the select()-based code behind ifdefs for now but hopefully it can be removed soonish to make
- the code more readable. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>process_encrypted_request(): Improve a log message. The function only processes request headers and
+ there may still be unread request body data left to process.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a 'reproducible-tarball-dist' target. It's currently separate from the "tarball-dist" target because
- it requires a tar implementation with mtree spec support. It's far from being perfect and does not enforce
- a reproducible mode, but it's better than nothing.</p>
+ <p>chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use arc4random() if it's available. While Privoxy doesn't need high quality pseudo-random numbers
- there's no reason not to use them when we can and this silences a warning emitted by code checkers that
- can't tell whether or not the quality matters.</p>
+ <p>parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Show the FEATURE_EXTERNAL_FILTERS status on the status page. Better late than never. Previously a couple
- of tests weren't executed as Privoxy-Regression-Test couldn't detect that the FEATURE_EXTERNAL_FILTERS
- dependency was satisfied.</p>
+ <p>receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Ditch FEATURE_IMAGE_DETECT_MSIE. It's an obsolete workaround we inherited from Junkbuster and was
- already disabled by default. Users that feel the urge to work around issues with image requests coming from
- an Internet Explorer version from more than 15 years ago can still do this using tags.</p>
+ <p>mbedTLS get_ciphersuites_from_string(): Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy(). Previously the terminating
+ NUL wasn't copied which resulted in a compiler warning. This didn't cause actual problems as the target
+ buffer was initialized by zalloc_or_die() so the last byte of the target buffer was NUL already. Actually
+ copying the terminating NUL seems clearer, though.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Consistently use strdup_or_die() instead of strdup() in cases where allocation failures aren't expected.
- Using strdup_or_die() allows to remove a couple of explicit error checks which slightly reduces the size of
- the binary.</p>
+ <p>Remove compiler warnings. "log_error(LOG_LEVEL_FATAL, ..." doesn't return but apparently the compiler
+ doesn't know that. Get rid of several "this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]"
+ warnings.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Insert a refresh tag into the /client-tags CGI page when serving it while a client-specific tag is
- temporarily enabled. This makes it less likely that the user ends up looking at tag state that is out of
- date.</p>
+ <p>Store the PEM certificate in a dynamically allocated buffer when https-inspecting. Should prevent errors
+ like: 2021-03-16 22:36:19.148 7f47bbfff700 Error: X509 PEM cert len 16694 is larger than buffer len 16383
+ As a bonus it should slightly reduce the memory usage as most certificates are smaller than the previously
+ used fixed buffer. Reported by: Wen Yue</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use absolute URLs in the client-tag forms. It's more consistent with the rest of the CGI page URLs and
- makes it more convenient to copy the forms to external pages.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>cgi_error_disabled(): Use status code 403 and an appropriate response line</p>
+ <p>Improve description of handle_established_connection()</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use a dedicated CGI handler to deal with tag-toggle requests As a result the /client-tags page is now
- safe to reach without trusted Referer header which makes bookmarking or linking to it more convenient.
- Finally, refreshing the /client-tags page to show the current state can no longer unintentionally repeat
- the previous toggle request.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Don't add a "Connection" header for CONNECT requests. Explicitly sending "Connection: close" is not
- necessary and apparently it causes problems with some forwarding proxies that will close the connection
- prematurely. Reported by Marc Thomas.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fix compiler warnings.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Initialize pointer with NULL instead of 0.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>rfc2553_connect_to(): Properly detect and log when poll() reached the time out. Previously this was
- logged as: Could not connect to [...]: No error: 0. which isn't very helpful. Sponsored by: Robert
- Klemme</p>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .microsoftonline.com/.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for idp.springer.com/.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .zeit.de/zustimmung.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock adv-archiv.dfn-cert.de/.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>add_tag_for_client(): Set time_to_live properly. Previously the time_to_live was always set for the
- first tag. Attempts to temporarily enable a tag would result in enabling it permanently unless no tag was
- enabled already.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to eu-tlp01.kameleoon.eu/.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Revert r1.165 which didn't perform as advertised. While the idea was to use "https:// when creating
- links for the user manual on the website", the actual effect was to use "https://" when Privoxy was
- supposed to serve the user manual itself. Reported by Yossi Zahn on Privoxy-devel@.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to fpa-events.arstechnica.com/.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>socks5_connect(): Fail in case of unsupported address types. Previously they would not be detected right
- away and Privoxy would fail later on with an error message that didn't make it obvious that the problem was
- socks-related. So far, no such problems have actually been reported.</p>
+ <p>Unblock nlnet.nl/.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>socks5_connect(): Properly deal with socks replies that contain IPv6 addresses. Previously parts of the
- reply were left unread and later on treated as invalid HTTP response data. Fixes #904 reported by Danny
- Goossen who also provided the initial version of this patch.</p>
+ <p>Unblock adguard.com/.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Unblock 'msdn.microsoft.com/'. It (presumably) isn't used to serve the kind of ads Privoxy should block
- by default but happens to serve lots of pages with URLs that are likely to result in false positives.
- Reported by bugreporter1694 in AF#939.</p>
+ <p>Highlight 'Socket timeout 3 reached: http://127.0.0.1:20000/no-filter/chunked-content/36'.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Improve documentation for inactivity-detection mode.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Detect date changes when looking for inactivity.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a --passed-request-statistics-threshold option that can be set to get statistics for requests that
+ were passed.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a "inactivity detection" mode which can be useful for debugging purposes.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Disable gif deanimation for requests tagged with CSS-REQUEST. The action will ignore content that isn't
- considered text anyway and explicitly disabling it makes this more obvious if "action" debugging (debug
- 65536) is enabled while "gif deanimation" debugging (debug 256) isn't.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.4.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Explicitly disable HTML filters for requests with CSS-REQUEST tag. The filters are unlikely to break CSS
- files but executing them without (intentionally) getting any hits is a waste of cpu time and makes the log
- more noisy when running with "debug 64".</p>
+ <p>Only run print_intro() and print_outro() when syntax highlighting.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Unblock 'adventofcode.com/'. Reported by Clint Adams in Debian bug #848211. Fixes Roland's AF#937.</p>
+ <p>Rephrase a sentence in the documentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Unblock 'adlibris.com'. Reported by Wyrex in #935</p>
+ <p>Highlight 'Client socket 7 is no longer usable. The server socket has been closed.'.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Unblock .golang.org/</p>
+ <p>Clarify --statistics output by explicitly mentioning that the status codes sent by the server may differ
+ from the ones in "debug 512" messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add fast-redirects exception for '.youtube.com/.*origin=http'</p>
+ <p>Fix typo in the --statistics output.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove an unused variable.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight 'The peer notified us that the connection on socket 11 is going to be closed'.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
+ <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove duplicated word in a comment.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>regression-tests.action:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Don't gather host and resource statistics if they aren't requested. While the performance impact seems
- negligible this significantly reduces the memory usage if there are lots of requests.</p>
+ <p>Add fetch test for http://p.p/wpad.dat.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Bump version as the behaviour (slightly) changed.</p>
+ <p>Bump for-privoxy-version to 3.0.33 which introduced the wpad.dat support.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Count connection failures as well in statistics mode. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Add more tests for the '/send-banner' code.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Count connection timeouts as well in statistics mode. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Add test for OVE-20210203-0001.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fix an 'uninitialized value' warning when generating statistics for a log file without response headers.
- While privoxy-log-parser was supposed to detect this already, the check was flawed and the message the user
- didn't see was somewhat confusing anyway. Now the message is less confusing, more helpful and actually
- printed. Reported by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Add a test for CVE-2021-20217.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+ <p>uagen:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Refer to the git sources instead of CVS.</p>
+ <p>Bump generated Firefox version to 91 (ESR).</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use GNU/Linux when referring to the OS instead of the kernel.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 1.2.3.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add FAQ entry for what to do if editing the config file is access denied.</p>
+ <p>Bump copyright.</p>
</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Build system:</p>
+ <ul>
<li>
- <p>Add brief HTTP/2 FAQ.</p>
+ <p>configure: Bump SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a small fuzzing section to the developer documentation.</p>
+ <p>GNUmakefile.in: Fix typo.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a client-header-tagger{client-ip-address} example.</p>
+ <p>configure: Add another warning in case --disable-pthread is used while POSIX threads are available.
+ Various features don't even compile when not using threads.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Stop suggesting that Privoxy is an anonymizing proxy. The term could lead to Privoxy users
- overestimating what it can do on its own (without Tor).</p>
+ <p>Add configure option to enable MemorySanitizer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Make it more obvious that SPI accepts Paypal, too. Currently most donations are made through the Paypal
- account managed by Zwiebelfreunde e.V. and a more even distribution would be useful.</p>
+ <p>Add configure option to enable UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Suggest to log applying actions as well when reproducing problems.</p>
+ <p>Add configure option to enable AddressSanitizer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Explicitly mention that Privoxy binaries are built by individuals on their own systems. Buyer
- beware!</p>
+ <p>Bump copyright.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Mention the release feed on the homepage.</p>
+ <p>Add a configure option to disable pcre JIT compilation. While JIT compilation makes filtering faster it
+ can cause false-positive valgrind complaints. As reported by Gwyn Ciesla in SF bug 924 it also can cause
+ problems when the SELinux policy does not grant Privoxy "execmem" privileges.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove a mysterious comment with a GNU FDL link as it isn't useful and could confuse license scanners.
- In May 2002 it was briefly claimed that "this document" was covered by the GNU FDL. The commit message
- (r1.5) doesn't explain the motivation or whether all copyright holders were actually asked and agreed to
- the declared license change. It's thus hard to tell whether or not the license change was legit, but
- luckily two days later the "doc license" was "put" "back to GPL" anyway (r1.6). At the same time the
- offending comment with a link to the FDL (not the GPL) was added for no obvious reason. Now it's gone
- again.</p>
+ <p>configure: Remove obsolete RPM_BASE check.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Regression tests:</p>
+ <p>Windows build system:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Bump for-privoxy-version to 3.0.27 as we now rely on untrusted CGI request being rejected with status
- code 403 (instead of 200).</p>
+ <p>Update the build script to use mbed tls version 2.6.11.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update build script to use the final 8.45 pcre library.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update test for /send-stylesheet and add another one</p>
+ <p>Put all the '--enable-xxx' options in the configure call together.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Templates:</p>
+ <p>macOS build system:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Consistently use https:// when linking to the Privoxy website.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove SourceForge references in Copyright header.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Remove a couple of SourceForge references in a comment. While at it, fix the grammar.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Move the site-specific documentation block before the generic one. While most Privoxy installations
- don't have a site-specific documentation block, in cases were it exists it's likely to be more relevant
- than the generic one. Showing it first makes it less likely that users stop reading before they reach it,
- especially on pages that don't fit on the screen.</p>
+ <p>The OSXPackageBuilder repository has been updated and can be used to create macOS packages again.</p>
</li>
</ul>

- <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <p>Documentation:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Prefer openjade to jade. On some systems Jade produces HTML with unescaped ampersands in URLs.</p>
+ <p>contacting: Remove obsolete reference to announce.sgml.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>contacting: Request that the browser cache is cleared before producing a log file for submission.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Prefer OpenSP to SP to be consistent.</p>
+ <p>Sponsor FAQ: Note that Privoxy users may follow sponsor links without Referer header set.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Have Docbook generated HTML files be straight ASCII. Dealing with a mixture of ISO-8859 and UTF-8 files
- is problematic.</p>
+ <p>newfeatures: Clarify that https inspection also allows to filter https responses.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Echo the filename to stderr for 'make dok-tidy'. Make it a bit easier to find errors in docbook
- generated HTML.</p>
+ <p>developer-manual: Mention that announce.txt should be updated when doing a release.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Warn when still using select().</p>
+ <p>config: Explicitly mention that the CGI pages disclosing the ca-password can be blocked and upgrade the
+ disclosure paragraphs to a warning.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Warn when compiling without calloc().</p>
+ <p>Put all the requested debug options in the config file. Section 11.1 of the Privoxy user manual lists
+ all the debug options that should be enabled when reporting problems or requesting support. Make it easier
+ for users to do the right thing by having all those options present in the config.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Make it more obvious that the --with-fdsetsize configure switch is pointless if poll() is available.</p>
+ <p>Update TODO list item #184 to note that WolfSSL support will (hopefully) appear after the 3.0.34
+ release.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove support for AmigaOS.</p>
+ <p>Update max-client-connections's description. On modern systems other than Windows Privoxy should use
+ poll() in which case the FD_SETSIZE value isn't releveant.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update windows build system to use supported software. The cygwin gcc -mno-cygwin option is no longer
- supported, so convert the windows build system to use the cygwin cross-compiler to build "native" code.</p>
+ <p>Add a warning that the socket-timeout does not apply to operations done by TLS libraries.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add --enable-static-linking option for configure does the same thing as LDFLAGS=-static; ./configure but
- nicer than mixing evars and configure options.</p>
+ <p>Make documentation slightly less "offensive" for some people by avoiding the word "hell".</p>
</li>
