<ul>
<li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
-
+ <p>Security/Reliability:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>On POSIX-like platforms, network sockets with file descriptor
- values above FD_SETSIZE are properly rejected. Previously they
- could cause memory corruption in configurations that allowed the
- limit to be reached.</p>
+ <p>Fixed memory leaks when a response is buffered and the buffer limit is reached or Privoxy is running out
+ of memory. Commits bbd53f1010b and 4490d451f9b. OVE-20201118-0001. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Compiles on OS/2 again now that unistd.h is only included on
- platforms that have it.</p>
+ <p>Fixed a memory leak in the show-status CGI handler when no action files are configured. Commit
+ c62254a686. OVE-20201118-0002. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>

<li>
- <p>The show-status page shows the FEATURE_STRPTIME_SANITY_CHECKS
- status.</p>
+ <p>Fixed a memory leak in the show-status CGI handler when no filter files are configured. Commit
+ 1b1370f7a8a. OVE-20201118-0003. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>A couple of assert()s that could theoretically dereference
- NULL pointers in debug builds have been relocated.</p>

+ Commit 5cfb7bc8fe. OVE-20201118-0005.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The max-client-connections default has been changed to 128
- which should be more than enough for most setups.</p>
+ <p>Prevent an unlikely dereference of a NULL-pointer that could result in a crash if
+ accept-intercepted-requests was enabled, Privoxy failed to get the request destination from the Host header
+ and a memory allocation failed. Commit 7530132349. CID 267165. OVE-20201118-0006.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Block rover.ebay./ar.*\&adtype= instead of
- "/.*\&adtype=" which caused too man false positives. Reported
- by u302320 in #360284, additional feedback from Adam Piggott.</p>
+ <p>Fixed memory leaks in the client-tags CGI handler when client tags are configured and memory allocations
+ fail. Commit cf5640eb2a. CID 267168. OVE-20201118-0007.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Unblock '.advrider.com/' and '/.*ADVrider'. Anonymously
- reported in #3603636.</p>

</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Filter file improvements:</p>
-
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Added an iframes filter.</p>
+ <p>Added experimental https inspection support which allows to filter https traffic. To enable it, install
+ MbedTLS and configure with --with-mbedtls, or install OpenSSL or LibreSSL and configure with
+ --with-openssl. Afterwards configure the directives in section 7 of the config file and enable the
+ +https-inspection action. Initial MbedTLS-based code contributed by Vaclav Svec, initial OpenSSL support
+ contributed by Maxim Antonov. With help from Nedzad Hrnjica and Ho+ Ho+ Ho+. Integration and improvements
+ sponsored by Robert Klemme.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>The whole GPLv2 text is included in the user manual now, so
- Privoxy can serve it itself and the user can read it without
- having to wade through GPLv3 ads first.</p>
+ <p>pcrs: Request JIT compilation if it's supported and the filter isn't dynamic. This can speed up
+ filtering.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Properly numbered and underlined a couple of section titles in
- the config that where previously overlooked due to a flaw in the
- conversion script. Reported by Ralf Jungblut.</p>
+ <p>Added support for Brotli decompression. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Improved the support instruction to hopefully make it harder
- to unintentionally provide insufficient information when
- requesting support. Previously it wasn't obvious that the
- information we need in bug reports is usually also required in
- support requests.</p>
+ <p>Added FEATURE_EXTENDED_STATISTICS to gather statistics for block reasons and filter executions. To
+ enable it, configure with --enable-extended-statistics and visit http://config.privoxy.org/show-status.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Removed documentation about packages that haven't been
- provided in years.</p>
+ <p>Use the IP_FREEBIND socket option, if defined. This allows Privoxy to bind to not-yet assigned IP
+ addresses which is useful in failover environments. Patch by Sam Varshavchik.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Only log the test number when not running in verbose mode The
- position of the test is rarely relevant and it previously wasn't
- exactly obvious which one of the numbers was useful to repeat the
- test with --test-number.</p>
+ <p>Allow to use extended host patterns and vanilla host patterns at the same time by prefixing extended
+ host patterns with "PCRE-HOST-PATTERN:". To enable this, configure with --enable-pcre-host-patterns.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>GNUmakefile improvements:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Factor generate-config-file out of config-file to make testing
- more convenient.</p>
+ <p>Added "Cross-origin resource sharing" (CORS) support. This allows to access Privoxy's CGI interface via
+ JavaScript from another domain (white-listed with the new cors-allowed-origin directive). Based on a patch
+ by Nedzad Hrnjica. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The clean target now also takes care of patch leftovers.</p>
+ <p>Add SOCKS5 username/password support. Based on a patch by Sam, improved by Ivan Romanov. Closes
+ Patch#141 and solves TODO#105.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.20</span> beta contained the
- following changes compared to the previous stable release:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before
- being closed. This fixes page truncation issues with clients that
- aggressively pipeline data on platforms that otherwise discard
- already written data. The issue mainly affected Opera users and
- was initially reported by Kevin in #3464439, szotsaki provided
- additional information to track down the cause.</p>
+ <p>Bump the maximum number of action and filter files to 100 each. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fix latency calculation for shared connections (disabled by
- default). It was broken since their introduction in 2009. The
- calculated latency for most connections would be 0 in which case
- the timeout detection failed to account for the real latency.</p>
+ <p>Fixed handling of filters with "split-large-forms 1" when using the CGI editor. Reported by withoutname
+ in #921.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Reject URLs with invalid port. Previously they were parsed
- incorrectly and characters between the port number and the first
- slash were silently dropped as shown by curl test 187.</p>
+ <p>Better detect a mismatch of connection details when figuring out whether or not a connection can be
+ reused.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives
- accept 0 as valid value.</p>
+ <p>Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the "DNS failure" message. Sponsored by: Robert
+ Klemme</p>
</li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix a race condition on Windows that could cause Privoxy to
- become unresponsive after toggling it on or off through the
- taskbar icon. Reported by Tim H. in #3525694.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6
- support.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() in
- case of socks5 connection failures with "debug 2" enabled.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() if a
- filter contained nul bytes in the replacement text.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and
- server connections.</p>
+ <p>Let LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST log all requests. Previously unencrypted requests were only logged with
+ LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST when they weren't crunched (in which case they were logged with LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH). This
+ was documented behaviour, but logging all requests seems more useful.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were
- applied to the request.</p>
+ <p>Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in
- a different order than the one in which they arrived.</p>
+ <p>Removed OS/2 support. We haven't provided OS/2 packages in years, it complicated the code and it
+ depended on a fallback snprintf() implementation which is GPLv2 only.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>New directive tolerate-pipelining to allow client-side
- pipelining. If enabled (3.0.20 beta enables it by default),
- Privoxy will keep pipelined client requests around to deal with
- them once the current request has been served.</p>
+ <p>Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>New --config-test option to let Privoxy exit after checking
- whether or not the configuration seems valid. The limitations
- noted in TODO #22 and #23 still apply. Based on a patch by
- Ramkumar Chinchani.</p>
+ <p>Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire
- before the end of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in
- #1049575.</p>
+ <p>Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Increase the hard-coded maximum number of actions and filter
- files from 10 to 30 (each). It doesn't significantly affect
- Privoxy's memory usage and recompiling wasn't an option for all
- Privoxy users that reached the limit.</p>
+ <p>Explicitly prevent use of FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. It makes no
+ sense and does not compile anyway. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Add support for chunk-encoded client request bodies.
- Previously chunk-encoded request bodies weren't guaranteed to be
- forwarded correctly, so this can also be considered a bug fix
- although chunk-encoded request bodies aren't commonly used in the
- real world.</p>
+ <p>Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Add support for Tor's optimistic-data SOCKS extension, which
- can reduce the latency for requests on newly created connections.
- Currently only the headers are sent optimistically and only if
- the client request has already been read completely which rules
- out requests with large bodies.</p>
+ <p>Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error. Sponsored
+ by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>After preventing the client from pipelining, don't signal
- keep-alive intentions. When looking at the response headers
- alone, it previously wasn't obvious from the client's perspective
- that no additional responses should be expected.</p>
+ <p>decompress_iob(): Downgrade the no-content message to LOG_LEVEL_RE_FILTER While at it, fix a typo in a
+ comment. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Stop considering client sockets tainted after receiving a
- request with body. It hasn't been necessary for a while now and
- unnecessarily causes test failures when using curl's test
- suite.</p>
+ <p>Fixed a couple of cppcheck warnings.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Allow HTTP/1.0 clients to signal interest in keep-alive
- through the Proxy-Connection header. While such client are rare
- in the real world, it doesn't hurt and couple of curl tests rely
- on it.</p>
+ <p>Rename LOG_LEVEL_GPC to LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. Only the shadow knows what "GPC" is supposed to stand
+ for.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Only remove duplicated Content-Type headers when filters are
- enabled. If they are not it doesn't cause ill effects and the
- user might not want it. Downgrade the removal message to
- LOG_LEVEL_HEADER to clarify that it's not an error in Privoxy and
- is unlikely to cause any problems in general. Anonymously
- reported in #3599335.</p>
+ <p>Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.</p>
+ <p>Upgrade a bunch of links to the homepage to https://.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their
- code block. It's required when compiling with gcc 2.95 which is
- still used on some platforms. Initial patch submitted by Simon
- South in #3564815.</p>
+ <p>Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the use of Brotli compression.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Optionally try to sanity-check strptime() results before
- trusting them. Broken strptime() implementations have caused
- problems in the past and the most recent offender seems to be
- FreeBSD's libc (standards/173421).</p>
+ <p>Changed license for pcrs to GPLv2+ after getting the permission from Andreas. This allows to
+ redistribute Privoxy under the GPLv3 which is required when linking to future mbedTLS versions which are
+ expected to be licensed under the Apache 2.0 license only.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>When filtering is enabled, let Range headers pass if the range
- starts at the beginning. This should work around (or at least
- reduce) the video playback issues with various Apple clients as
- reported by Duc in #3426305.</p>
+ <p>Updated a bunch of tests that have to expect status code 403 now after r1.168/070e904afa5.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Do not confuse a client hanging up with a connection time out.
- If a client closes its side of the connection without sending a
- request line, do not send the CLIENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_RESPONSE,
- but report the condition properly.</p>
+ <p>Lowercase the host name in the request line.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as
- they are escaped.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>On Windows, the logfile is now written before showing the GUI
- error message which blocks until the user acknowledges it.
- Reported by Adriaan in #3593603.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Remove an unreasonable parameter limit in the CGI interface.
- The new parameter limit depends on the memory available and is
- currently unlikely to be reachable, due to other limits in both
- Privoxy and common clients. Reported by Andrew on
- ijbswa-users@.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Decrease the chances of parse failures after requests with
- unsupported methods were sent to the CGI interface.</p>
+ <p>Only set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it's not already set so distributions can overwrite it through the
+ environment.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
-
+ <p>Documentation changes:</p>
<ul>

- versions are released on their own.</p>

- <p>Add DragonFly to the list of BSDs on which Privoxy is known to
- run.</p>
+ <p>Change the suggested default-server-timeout to 5 to match the suggested keep-alive-timeout. Otherwise
+ using the defaults would result in Privoxy reducing the default-server-timeout and logging an error
+ message. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>

</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Log message improvements:</p>
-
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining,
- additionally log the socket number.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to /(.*/)?piwik\.php</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Log the client socket and its condition before closing it.
- This makes it more obvious that the socket actually gets closed
- and should help when diagnosing problems like #3464439.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to .connectaserver.de/</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>In case of SOCKS5 failures, do not explicitly log the server's
- response. It hasn't helped so far and the response can already be
- logged by enabling "debug 32768" anyway. This reverts v1.81 and
- the follow-up bug fix v1.84.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to pixel.inforsea.com/</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Relocate the connection-accepted message from listen_loop() to
- serve(). This way it's printed by the thread that is actually
- serving the connection which is nice when grepping for thread ids
- in log files.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to t.vi-serve.com/</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>

- improvements.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to .pixel.parsely.com/ as image</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Remove a pointless fflush() call in chat(). Flushing all
- streams pretty much all the time for no obvious reason is
- ridiculous.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to pixel.wp.com/</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Relocate ijb_isupper()'s definition to project.h and get the

</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fix white-space around parentheses.</p>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .consensu.org/delivery/pixel\.php and block the requests as image instead</p>

+ <p>Add fast-redirects{} exception for sourcepoint.vice.com/</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>In pcrs_get_delimiter(), do not use delimiters outside the
- ASCII range. Fixes a clang complaint.</p>
+ <p>Unblock adaway.org/ Reported by DRS David Soft in AF#945.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to
- see. Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.</p>
+ <p>Change two block reasons that previously were the same. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted
- by Matthew Fischer in #3507304.</p>
+ <p>Added a +delay-response{} test.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Shorten ssplit()'s prototype by removing the last two
- arguments. We always want to skip empty fields and ignore leading
- delimiters, so having parameters for this only complicates the
- API.</p>
+ <p>Updated the location of the development version of default.action.master.</p>
</li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Use an enum for the type of the action value.</p>
- </li>
-
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
+ <ul>
<li>
- <p>Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it
- isn't used as boolean.</p>
+ <p>Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Turn family mismatches in match_sockaddr() into fatal
- errors.</p>
+ <p>Highlight new log messages.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass
- a header containing either \r or \n.</p>
+ <p>Make gather_loglevel_clf_stats() more tolerant. While at it, count all CLF messages as requests, even if
+ the request is invalid.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Change the hashes used in load_config() to unsigned int.
- That's what hash_string() actually returns and using a
- potentially larger type is at best useless.</p>
+ <p>Only show HTTP version distribution if at least one version has been detected.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Use privoxy_tolower() instead of vanilla tolower() with manual
- casting of the argument.</p>
+ <p>Only show crunch statistics if crunches were detected.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Catch ssplit() failures in parse_cgi_parameters().</p>
+ <p>Warn if the request counts differ.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Add an 'Overwrite condition' directive to skip any matching
- tests before it. As it has a global scope, using it is more
- convenient than clowning around with the Ignore directive.</p>
+ <p>Generate statistics if the log only contains LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages so it can be used with vanilla
+ webserver logs. Previously Privoxy-specific "Request:" messages were required.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Log to STDOUT instead of STDERR.</p>
+ <p>Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Include the Privoxy version in the output.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.1</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Various grammar and spelling corrections in documentation and
- code.</p>
+ <p>Include status code distribution in the stats.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Additional tests for range requests with filtering
- enabled.</p>
+ <p>Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy transferred excluding HTTP headers.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Tests with mostly invalid range request.</p>
+ <p>Get with the program and expect all requests to be logged with LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. It's no longer
+ necessary to count both LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST and LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH messages to get the total number of
+ requests.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Add a couple of hide-if-modified-since{} tests with different
- date formats.</p>
+ <p>Leverage the LOG_LEVEL_CLF message to gather statistics that where previously taken from
+ LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines. This results in less confusing results if https inspection is enabled in which case
+ there are two LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines with request lines. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Cleaned up the format of the regression-tests.action file to
- match the format of default.action.</p>
+ <p>Properly highlight the filter results message. Previously a brace got lost.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Remove the "Copyright" line from print_version(). When using
- --help, every line of screen space matters and thus shouldn't be
- wasted on things the user doesn't care about.</p>
+ <p>Prefer the number of CLF lines to get the total number of requests as it works with older Privoxy
+ versions as well.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
-
+ <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Improve the --statistics performance by skipping sanity checks
- for input that shouldn't affect the results anyway. Add a
- --strict-checks option that enables some of the checks again,
- just in case anybody cares.</p>
+ <p>Turn curl's globbing mode off so we can allow more characters in URLs.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The distribution of client requests per connection is included
- in the --statistic output.</p>
+ <p>Allow '[' and ']' in URLs.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The --accept-unknown-messages option has been removed and the
- behavior is now the default.</p>
+ <p>Include the action file when complaining about missing Sticky Actions.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Accept and (mostly) highlight new log messages introduced with
- Privoxy 3.0.20.</p>

- <li>

- <li>
- <p>Let w3m itself do the line wrapping for the config file. It

- <p>On Haiku, do not pass -lpthread to the compiler. Haiku's
- pthreads implementation is contained in its system library,
- libroot, so no additional library needs to be searched. Patch
- submitted by Simon South in #3564815.</p>
+ <p>Skip patterns that have already been converted. It should now be safe to "convert" a file multiple
+ times. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Additional Haiku-specific improvements. Disable checks
- intended for multi-user systems as Haiku is presently
- single-user. Group Haiku-specific settings in their own section,
- following the pattern for Solaris, OS/2 and AmigaOS. Add
- additional library-related settings to remove the need for
- providing configure with custom LDFLAGS. Submitted by Simon South
- in #3574538.</p>
