-
- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.22</span> stable is mainly a
- bug-fix release, it also has a couple of new features, though. Note that

+ <h1 class="SECT1"><a name="WHATSNEW" id="WHATSNEW">3. What's New in this Release</a></h1>
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.29</span> fixes a couple of memory leaks and introduces https inspection
+ which allows to filter encrypted requests and responses.</p>
+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.29</span> stable:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Bug fixes:</p>
-
+ <p>Security/Reliability:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Fixed a memory leak when rejecting client connections due to
- the socket limit being reached (CID 66382). This affected Privoxy
- 3.0.21 when compiled with IPv6 support (on most platforms this is
- the default).</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>Fixed an immediate-use-after-free bug (CID 66394) and two
- additional unconfirmed use-after-free complaints made by Coverity
- scan (CID 66391, CID 66376).</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>
-
<li>
- <p>Actually show the FORCE_PREFIX value on the show-status
- page.</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>Properly deal with Keep-Alive headers with timeout= parameters
- If the timeout still can't be parsed, use the configured timeout
- instead of preventing the client from keeping the connection
- alive. Fixes #3615312/#870 reported by Bernard Guillot.</p>
+ <p>Fixes a memory leak when client tags are active. Commit 245e1cf32. OVE-20201118-0004. Sponsored by:
+ Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Not using any filter files no longer results in warning
- messages unless an action file is referencing header taggers or
- filters. Reported by Stefan Kurtz in #3614835.</p>
+ <p>Fixed a memory leak if multiple filters are executed and the last one is skipped due to a pcre error.
+ Commit 5cfb7bc8fe. OVE-20201118-0005.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fixed a bug that prevented Privoxy from reusing some reusable
- connections. Two bit masks with different purpose unintentionally
- shared the same bit.</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>
-
<li>
- <p>A couple of additional bugs were discovered by Coverity Scan.
- The fixes that are not expected to affect users are not
- explicitly mentioned here, for details please have a look at the
- CVS logs.</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>Fixed memory leaks in the show-status CGI handler when memory allocations fail. Commit 064eac5fd0 and
+ commit fdee85c0bf3. CID 305233. OVE-20201118-0008.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
<p>General improvements:</p>
-
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Introduced negative tag patterns NO-REQUEST-TAG and
- NO-RESPONSE-TAG. They apply if no matching tag is found after
- parsing client or server headers.</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>Add support for external filters which allow to process the
- response body with a script or program written in any language
- the platform supports. External filters are enabled with
- +external-filter{} after they have been defined in one of the
- filter files with a header line starting with "EXTERNAL-FILTER:".
- External filter support is experimental, not compiled by default
- and known not to work on all platforms.</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>Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789.</p>
+ <p>Added support for Brotli decompression. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Reject requests with unsupported Expect header values. Fixes a
- couple of Co-Advisor tests.</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>Normalize the HTTP-version in forwarded requests and
- responses. This is an explicit RFC 2616 MUST and RFC 7230
- mandates that intermediaries send their own HTTP-version in
- forwarded messages.</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>Server 'Keep-Alive' headers are no longer forwarded. From a
- user's point of view it doesn't really matter, but RFC 2616
- (obsolete) mandates that the header is removed and this fixes a
- Co-Advisor complaint.</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>Change declared template file encoding to UTF-8. The templates
- already used a subset of UTF-8 anyway and changing the
- declaration allows to properly display UTF-8 characters used in
- the action files. This change may require existing action files
- with ISO-8859-1 characters that aren't valid UTF-8 to be
- converted to UTF-8. Requested by Sam Chen in #582.</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>Do not pass rejected keep-alive timeouts to the server. It
- might not have caused any problems (we know of), but doing the
- right thing shouldn't hurt either.</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>
-
<li>
- <p>Let log_error() use its own buffer size #define to make
- changing the log buffer size slightly less inconvenient.</p>
+ <p>Bump the maximum number of action and filter files to 100 each. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Turned single-threaded into a "proper" toggle directive with
- arguments.</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>CGI templates no longer enforce new windows for some
- links.</p>
+ <p>Better detect a mismatch of connection details when figuring out whether or not a connection can be
+ reused.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Remove an undocumented workaround ('HOST' header removal) for
- an Apple iTunes bug that according to #729900 got fixed in
- 2003.</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>
-
- <li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
-
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>The pattern 'promotions.' is no longer being blocked. Reported
- by rakista in #3608540.</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>
-

- #3613653.</p>
+ <p>Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the use of Brotli compression.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Unblock .conrad./newsletter/. Reported by David Bo in
- #3614238.</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>Unblock .bundestag.de/.</p>
+ <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>Documentation changes:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Explain that Privoxy has to be distributed under the GPLv3 (or later) when linked with an MbedTLS

+ blocks aren't enforced. Reported by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Unblock Stackexchange popup URLs that aren't used to serve
- ads. Reported by David Wagner in #3615179.</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>Disable HTML filters if the response was tagged as JavaScript.
- Filtering JavaScript code with filters intended to deal with HTML
- is usually a waste of time and, more importantly, may break

</li>
-
<li>

<ul>
<li>
- <p>Let --with-group properly deal with secondary groups. Patch
- submitted by Anatoly Arzhnikov in #3615187.</p>
+ <p>Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight new log messages.</p>

+ <p>Warn if the request counts differ.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <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>Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.1</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Include status code distribution in the stats.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fix web-actions target.</p>
+ <p>Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy transferred excluding HTTP headers.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Add a web-faq target that only updates the FAQ on the
- webserver.</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 already-commented-out non-portable DOSFILTER
- alternatives.</p>
