-> introduces IPv6 support,
- improved keep-alive support and a bunch of minor improvements:</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. This should also allow
- NTLM authentication through Privoxy, but this hasn't been
- confirmed yet.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing
- option is enabled.
- </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
-> Fixed a regression reintroduced in 3.0.12 that could cause
- crashes on mingw32 if header date randomization was enabled.
- </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
-><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.

- <TT

-><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:

->enable-remote-http-toggle</A

- and <A
-HREF="config.html#ENABLE-EDIT-ACTIONS"

+ <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>Security/Reliability:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <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>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>
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <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 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>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>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>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>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>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>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>handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>socks5_connect(): Fix indentation.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix comment typos.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>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>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>OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Improve description of handle_established_connection()</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Initialize pointer with NULL instead of 0.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .microsoftonline.com/.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for idp.springer.com/.</p>

+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .zeit.de/zustimmung.</p>

+ <p>Unblock adguard.com/.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <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>Bump version to 0.9.4.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Only run print_intro() and print_outro() when syntax highlighting.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Rephrase a sentence in the documentation.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight 'Client socket 7 is no longer usable. The server socket has been closed.'.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>Fix typo in the --statistics output.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove an unused variable.</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>

+ <p>Update TODO list item #184 to note that WolfSSL support will (hopefully) appear after the 3.0.34

+ <li>
+ <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>
+ <p>Add a warning that the socket-timeout does not apply to operations done by TLS libraries.</p>

+ <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>
