- <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.26</span> stable is a bug-fix release for the previously released 3.0.25
- beta which introduced client-specific tags and included a couple of minor improvements.</p>
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.31</span> fixes two security issues that were discovered while preparing
+ the 3.0.30 release. The issues also affect earlier Privoxy releases.</p>
+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.31</span> stable:</p>
<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Security/Reliability:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Prevent an assertion from getting triggered by a crafted CGI request. Commit 5bba5b89193fa.
+ OVE-20210130-0001. Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed a memory leak when decompression fails "unexpectedly". Commit f431d61740cc0.
+ OVE-20210128-0001.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
<li>
<p>Bug fixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Fixed crashes with "listen-addr :8118" (SF Bug #902). The regression was introduced in 3.0.25 beta and
- reported by Marvin Renich in Debian bug #834941.</p>
+ <p>Fixed detection of insufficient data for decompression. Previously Privoxy could try to decompress a
+ partly uninitialized buffer.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.30</span> stable:</p>
+ <ul>
<li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Log when privoxy is toggled on or off via cgi interface.</p>
+ <p>Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests. Previously Privoxy would only check
+ the path which resulted in rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs. Reported by withoutname in
+ #1736.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs. Previously they would always be
+ treated like a changed host.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message in the Windows log viewer.</p>
+ <p>Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through https://. Previously Privoxy would
+ use the http headers which may be empty on a reused connection.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message in the Windows log viewer.</p>
+ <p>Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION. This unbreaks (at least)
+ https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in
+ browser warnings.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a potentionally more appropriate alternative.</p>
+ <p>Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time. Previously Privoxy would crash.
+ Reported by: Kai Raven</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would
+ wait for the client to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not
+ recommended for production builds), the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
+ connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the wrong time.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the uninstall target remove the config file even if DESTDIR is set and properly announce the
+ deletion of the configuration files.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Update download section on the homepage. The downloads are available from the website now.</p>
+ <p>Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected requests behind the client's back. The
+ documentation already sort of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that it didn't
+ work for https-inspected requests. Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add support for filtering client request bodies by using CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled
+ with the client-body-filter action. Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add the new action suppress-tag{} which can be used to prevent a tagger from adding a tag. Patch
+ submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates. This can happen if Privoxy was
+ previously running with an invalid TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add sponsor FAQ.</p>
+ <p>Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete reference to mailing lists hosted at SourceForge.</p>
+ <p>Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page is requested with no tags configured.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update the "Before the Release" section of the developer manual.</p>
+ <p>Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates using redirects. Currently the redirects
+ lead to the FAQ entries but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using redirects makes
+ this more convenient.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this
+ a fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The code compiles with older C compilers again.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball. It's usually out of date when the source
+ tarball is generated for the release.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images' directory which is no longer used. The
+ images were relocated to the user-manual directory years ago.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Improved a couple of error messages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a key already exists.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are enabled at the same time.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Log a message right before exiting gracefully.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly less memory.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid the error message is now sent with
+ status code 403 instead of 200.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when
+ building Debian packages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used instead of mbedtls_md5() which is
+ deprecated and causes a warning on Debian GNU/Linux.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Infrastructure improvements:</p>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Add perl script to generate an RSS feed for the packages Submitted by "Unknown".</p>
+ <p>Block requests to eu-tlp03.kameleoon.com/.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Unblock metrics.sr.ht/.</p>

+ <p>Block requests for trc-events.taboola.com/.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <p>Filter file improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>strptime.h: fix a compiler warning about ambiguous else.</p>
+ <p>A allow-autocompletion filter has been added which changes autocomplete="off" to "on" on input fields to
+ allow autocompletion. Requested by Jamie Zawinski in #370. Filter based on a submission by Aaron
+ Linville.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>configure.in: Check for Docbook goo on the BSDs as well.</p>
+ <p>Added an imdb filter.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>GNUMakefile.in: Let the dok-user target remove temporary files.</p>
+ <p>Added a sourceforge filter that reduces the amount of ads for proprietary software.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Added a github filter that removes the annoying "Sign-Up" banner and the Cookie disclaimer.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Removed a duplicated pcrs command from the js-annoyances filter.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>The crude-parental filter now provides a short reason when blocking, inserts a link to Privoxy's
+ webinterface and adds a new line at the end of the generated page.</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>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</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>Highlight a few more messages.</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>Add a handler for tagging messages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches Previously the error description was highlighted as
+ 'host'.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully and note that the statistics will be imprecise.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed perldoc typo.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.2.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</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>Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address unless http_proxy is set through the
+ environment.</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 $PRIVOXY_LISTEN_ADDRESS. Original patch
- contributed by pursievro.</p>
+ <p>Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix to use when building URLs that are supposed
+ to reach Privoxy's CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is supposed to work with the
+ default Privoxy configuration. If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled, and if
+ https inspection is activated with the +https-inspection action, this option can be used with
+ "https://p.p/" provided the system running Privoxy-Regression-Test has been configured to trust the
+ certificate used by Privoxy. Note that there are currently two tests in the official
+ regression-tests.action file that are expected to fail when using "https://p.p/" as privoxy-cgi-prefix.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'.</p>
+ <p>Skip the connection-established response in get_status_code() when looking for the status code with a
+ CGI prefix that starts with https://. We care about the status code sent by the impersonated web
+ server.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new requests. Patch contributed by
- pursievro.</p>
+ <p>Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https:// and a "Host:" header.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal errors.</p>
+ <p>Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like
+ "TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$".</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>When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the requested page in the log message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to be unique now.</p>
+ <p>Added a --check-bad-ssl option that can be used to verify that Privoxy detects certificate problems when
+ accessing the test sites from badssl.com.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is logged as well.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced (CID #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211).</p>
+ <p>Bumped version to 0.7.2</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <p>uagen:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download resumption and Windows updates work with the
- default configuration.</p>
+ <p>Update example output.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". Reported by ThTomate in #932.</p>
+ <p>Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR).</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bumped version to 1.2.2.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
+ <p>User documentation:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.</p>
+ <p>Remove reference to 'How to Report Bugs Effectively'. It was only rendered as text without URL in the
+ README anyway and there's no indication that users read it ...</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3.</p>
+ <p>Let the dok-readme target fix the location embedded into the README file. This used to be done by CVS
+ but since the git migration it has to be done through other means.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Mention the new mailing lists were appropriate. As the archives have not been migrated, continue to
- mention the archives at SF in the contacting section for now.</p>
+ <p>Remove 'experimental' warning for client-specific-tag-related directives. They seem to work reliably and
+ there is no obvious reason why we would change the syntax in the near future.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is running as intercepting proxy without getting
- all requests.</p>
+ <p>Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>A bunch of links were converted to https://.</p>
+ <p>Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation that explains how the user can create the file
+ herself.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Rephrase onion service paragraph to make it more obvious that Tor is involved and that the whole website
- (and not just the homepage) is available as onion service.</p>
+ <p>Don't explicitly mention the license for the code coming from 'Anonymous Coders' and Junkbusters. It's
+ obviously licensed under the GNU GPL like the rest of Privoxy or we wouldn't be allowed to distribute
+ it.</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>Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output.</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>Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation.</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>
+ <p>Explicitly mention Windows 10 as supported so search engines and users looking for it can find it.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a FAQ entry for tainted sockets.</p>
+ <p>Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>More sections in the documentation have stable URLs now.</p>
+ <p>Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>FAQ: Explain why 'ping config.privoxy.org' is not expected to reach a local Privoxy installation.</p>
+ <p>Upgrade a couple of links to https://.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Note that donations done through Zwiebelfreunde e.V. currently can't be checked automatically.</p>
+ <p>Don't prefer the SourceForge patch tracker over the privoxy-devel mailing list. While at it, link to the
+ SourceForge patch tracker.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Updated section regarding starting Privoxy under OS X.</p>
+ <p>Mention http-inspection in the 'my browser warns me about unauthenticated content' FAQ entry.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use dedicated start instructions for FreeBSD and ElectroBSD.</p>
+ <p>Simplify the 'Is there is a license or fee?' FAQ entry.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Removed release instructions for AIX. They haven't been working for years and unsurprisingly nobody
- seems to care.</p>
+ <p>Add another +redirect{} example.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Removed obsolete reference to the solaris-dist target.</p>
+ <p>Explicitly mention that interested sponsors should include the link target in their first mail.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Updated the release instructions for FreeBSD.</p>
+ <p>Clarify that only Privoxy team members can object to new sponsors and link to the list of current team
+ members.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Removed unfinished release instructions for Amiga OS and HP-UX 11.</p>
+ <p>Note that sponsor URLs may not contain keyword spam.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added a pointer to the Cygwin Time Machine for getting the last release of Cygwin version 1.5 to use for
- building Privoxy on Windows.</p>
+ <p>Garbage collect doc/webserver/images which isn't referenced anymore.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Various typos have been fixed.</p>
+ <p>Update the method to reach the proxy settings in Firefox.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update proxy_setup.jpg description to refer to Firefox.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Regenerate proxy_setup.jpg with a more recent Firefox (78.0).</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Regenerate files-in-use.jpg without obsolete standard.action with modern colors and a slightly better
+ quality.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update URL to the actionsfile tracker.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update a support request URL.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Rephrase the 'Can Privoxy run as service' FAQ entry and remove an obsolete paragraph.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the 'Where can I get updated Actions Files?' entry link to the gitweb version of
+ default.action.master.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update a link to the default.action file.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update URLs for trackers and mailing lists.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Replace CVS reference with git.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Mention regression-tests.action in the config file.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Explicitly mention in the config file that access to the CA key should be limited to Privoxy.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>List more client-specific-tag examples for inspiration.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add additional headers to the client-header-order example.</p>
</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Infrastructure improvements:</p>
- <ul>
<li>
- <p>The website is no longer hosted at SourceForge and can be reached through https now.</p>
+ <p>Note that actions aren't updated after rewrites.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>The mailing lists at SourceForge have been deprecated, you can subscribe to the new ones at:
- https://lists.privoxy.org/</p>
+ <p>Explicitly mention that upgrading from http to https with a client-header filter is not supported</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Migrating the remaining services from SourceForge is work in progress (TODO list item #53).</p>
+ <p>Note that protocol and host have to be added when rewriting the destination host for https-inspected
+ requests.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Explicitly mention that the CA key is used to sign certificates.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Put openssl command in 'command' tags.</p>
+ </li>

<li>
- <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <p>Developer manual:</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>Flesh out the build instructions for Debian.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove the packaging instructions for RPM-based systems. They don't work and we don't release RPM
+ packages anymore anyway.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove the packaging instructions for Solaris. They don't work and we don't release Solaris packages
+ anymore anyway.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update the suggested subject for the announce mails.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update upload instructions. ftp://upload.sourceforge.net is no longer functional.</p>
</li>

+ <p>Add regression-tests.action to the list of files that should be installed.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Include tools in the generic distribution.</p>
+ <p>Stop claiming that there are text versions of the manuals. We stopped building them in 2008
+ (9ed36a3c5e6f12).</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let the gen-dist target work in cwds other than current.</p>
+ <p>Note that the 'webserver' target creates the link needed for the user-manual.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Sort find output that is used for distribution tarballs to get reproducible results.</p>
+ <p>Suggest to use the master branch as reference when creating the ChangeLog so the steps work when the
+ current branch differs from master which is likely as the developer manual suggests to use a local branch
+ for development.</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>Add the -s flag to the suggested 'git tag' command. We prefer signed tags.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add regression-tests.action to the files that are distributed.</p>

</li>
<li>

+ <p>Mention Privoxy-Regression-Test.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove obsolete reference to Redhat spec file.</p>
+ <p>Add a section id to reduce link churn.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove the obsolete announce target which has been commented out years ago.</p>
+ <p>Recommend the dok-tidy target when building docs for the webserver.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let rsync skip files if the checksums match.</p>
+ <p>Add another plug for the privoxy-devel mailing list.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the intro link the copyright section in the user manual instead of giving an incomplete summary of
+ the license status.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Clarify that the webserver target uploads to the SourceForge webserver.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Mark the documentation for the Mac OS X installers as out of date and change the SCM name back to
+ CVS.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix the location of the installer modules for Mac OS X. They are not actually available through git
+ (yet).</p>
+ </li>

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix a hide-referrer{conditional-block} test that expected an acceptable Referer to be removed.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Explain why the "Set Header = Host: whatever.example.org" test is expected to fail when using a CGI
+ prefix that starts with "https://".</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Explain why a connection-sharing test is known to fail when using "https://p.p/" as CGI prefix.</p>

+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy infrastructure:</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 "Default level
- offset" directive is reached. The purpose of this directive is to make it more convenient to skip similar
- tests in a given file without having to remove or disable the tests completely.</p>
+ <p>Import a Privoxy logo for the website.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let test level 17 depend on FEATURE_64_BIT_TIME_T instead of FEATURE_PTHREAD which has no direct
- connection to the time_t size.</p>
+ <p>Update Tor onion service to HiddenServiceVersion 3.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fix indentation in perldoc examples.</p>
+ <p>Display the "model" photos in a single row and remove placeholder images.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Don't overlook directives in the first line of the action file.</p>
+ <p>Regenerate homepage with updated sponsor list.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Bump version to 0.7.</p>
+ <p>Use the '/sponsor' redirect for the link to the sponsor page.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fix detection of the Privoxy version now that https:// is used for the website.</p>
