</ul>
</li>
<p>General improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Log when privoxy is toggled on or off via cgi interface.</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>
<li>
- <p>Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message in the
- Windows log viewer.</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>Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message in the
- Windows log viewer.</p>
+ <p>Added support for Brotli decompression. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a
- potentionally more appropriate alternative.</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>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Update download section on the homepage. The downloads are
- available from the website now.</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>
<li>
- <p>Add sponsor FAQ.</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>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete reference to mailing lists hosted at
- SourceForge.</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>Update the "Before the Release" section of the developer
- manual.</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>
- <li>
- <p>Infrastructure improvements:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>Add perl script to generate an RSS feed for the packages
- Submitted by "Unknown".</p>
+ <p>Bump the maximum number of action and filter files to 100 each. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Build system improvements:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>strptime.h: fix a compiler warning about ambiguous else.</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>configure.in: Check for Docbook goo on the BSDs as well.</p>
+ <p>Better detect a mismatch of connection details when figuring out whether or not a connection can be
+ reused.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>GNUMakefile.in: Let the dok-user target remove temporary
- files.</p>
+ <p>Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the "DNS failure" message. Sponsored by: Robert
+ Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error. Sponsored
+ by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <p>Changes between <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.25 beta</span>
- and the previous release:</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>
+ <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>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>
+ <p>Fixed a couple of cppcheck warnings.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Rename LOG_LEVEL_GPC to LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. Only the shadow knows what "GPC" is supposed to stand
+ for.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Upgrade a bunch of links to the homepage to https://.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the use of Brotli compression.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>Updated a bunch of tests that have to expect status code 403 now after r1.168/070e904afa5.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Lowercase the host name in the request line.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>General improvements:</p>
+ <p>Documentation changes:</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>
+ <p>Explain that Privoxy has to be distributed under the GPLv3 (or later) when linked with an MbedTLS
+ version that is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Import the GNU GPLv3 and include it the user manual.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Clarify FEATURE_FORCE_LOAD's description. It allows to bypass blocking not filtering and only does it if
+ blocks aren't enforced. Reported by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>FAQ: Remove Zwiebelfreunde e.V. from the list of fiduciary sponsors As of 2021 they no longer handle
+ donations for foreign organisations due to lack of resources.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>FAQ: Remove an obsolete comment with a link to the long-gone PDF manual.</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>
+ <p>FAQ: Add a link to the TODO list.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'.</p>
+ <p>FAQ: Change the sponsor amounts to USD slightly rounding the converted amounts up to get simple numbers.
+ Receiving USD is apparently easier for SPI and SPI is preferred by sponsors as they can send invoices.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new
- requests. Patch contributed by pursievro.</p>
+ <p>Advertise the client-tags CGI page in the user manual.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal
- errors.</p>
+ <p>Stop advertising the show-version CGI page which no longer exists.</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>
+ <p>Add yet another reason why +prevent-compression may cause problems.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to
- be unique now.</p>
+ <p>Don't claim that contributors need ssh. It's only needed for committers.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is
- logged as well.</p>
+ <p>Replace obsolete CVS instructions with Git instructions.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced (CID
- #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211).</p>
+ <p>Remove an obsolete comment</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <p>Config file changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download
- resumption and Windows updates work with the default
- configuration.</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>
+ <p>Update the 'debug 1' description.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". Reported by ThTomate in #932.</p>
+ <p>Add a missing 'client-specific-tag' directive.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Comment out trusted-cgi-referer pointing to example.org.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to /(.*/)?piwik\.php</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to .connectaserver.de/</p>
</li>
<li>

- Tor is involved and that the whole website (and not just the
- homepage) is available as onion service.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to t.9gag.com/img.gif</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>
+ <p>Block requests to .pixel.parsely.com/ as image</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>
+ <p>Block requests to pixel.wp.com/</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>
- <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</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>
+ <p>Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let the tarball-dist target skip files in ".git".</p>
+ <p>Highlight new log messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let the tarball-dist target work in cwds other than
- current.</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>Make the 'clean' target faster when run from a git
- repository.</p>
+ <p>Only show HTTP version distribution if at least one version has been detected.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Include tools in the generic distribution.</p>
+ <p>Only show crunch statistics if crunches were detected.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let the gen-dist target work in cwds other than current.</p>
+ <p>Warn if the request counts differ.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Sort find output that is used for distribution tarballs to get
- reproducible results.</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>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>
+ <p>Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add regression-tests.action to the files that are
- distributed.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.1</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The gen-dist target which was broken since 2002 (r1.92) has
- been fixed.</p>
+ <p>Include status code distribution in the stats.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove genclspec.sh which has been obsolete since 2009.</p>
+ <p>Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy transferred excluding HTTP headers.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete reference to Redhat spec file.</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>Remove the obsolete announce target which has been commented
- out years ago.</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>Let rsync skip files if the checksums match.</p>
+ <p>Properly highlight the filter results message. Previously a brace got lost.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>
<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
