+ <h1 class="SECT1"><a name="WHATSNEW" id="WHATSNEW">3. What's New in this Release</a></h1>
+ <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.34</span> fixes a few minor bugs and comes with a couple of general
+ improvements and new features.</p>
+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.34</span> stable:</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>Improve the handling of chunk-encoded responses by buffering the data even if filters are disabled and
+ properly keeping track of where the various chunks are supposed to start and end. Previously Privoxy would
+ merely check the last bytes received to see if they looked like the last-chunk. This failed to work if the
+ last-chunk wasn't received in one read and could also result in actual data being misdetected as
+ last-chunk. Should fix: SF support request #1739. Reported by: withoutname.</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>remove_chunked_transfer_coding(): Refuse to de-chunk invalid data Previously the data could get
+ corrupted even further. Now we simply pass the unmodified data to the client.</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>gif_deanimate(): Tolerate multiple image extensions in a row. This allows to deanimate all the gifs on:
+ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_smilies Fixes SF bug #795 reported by Celejar.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives
- accept 0 as valid value.</p>
+ <p>OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use X509_get_subject_name() instead of X509_get_issuer_name() to
+ get the issuer for generated website certificates so there are no warnings in the browser when using an
+ intermediate CA certificate instead of a self-signed root certificate. Problem reported and patch submitted
+ by Chakib Benziane.</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>
+ <p>can_filter_request_body(): Fix a log message that contained a spurious u.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6
- support.</p>
+ <p>handle_established_connection(): Check for pending TLS data from the client before checking if data is
+ available on the connection. The TLS library may have already consumed all the data from the client
+ response in which case poll() and select() will not detect that data is available to be read. Sponsored by:
+ Robert Klemme.</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>
+ <p>ssl_send_certificate_error(): Don't crash if there's no certificate information available. This is only
+ relevant when Privoxy is built with wolfSSL 5.0.0 or later (code not yet published). Earlier wolfSSL
+ versions or the other TLS backends don't seem to trigger the crash.</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>
+ <p>socks5_connect(): Add support for target hosts specified as IPv4 address Previously the IP address was
+ sent as domain.</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>Add a client-body-tagger action which creates tags based on the content of the request body. Sponsored
+ by: Robert Klemme.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were
- applied to the request.</p>
+ <p>When client-body filters are enabled, buffer the whole request before opening a connection to the
+ server. Makes it less likely that the server connection times out and we don't open a connection if the
+ buffering fails anyway. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.</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>Add periods to a couple of log messages.</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>accept_connection(): Add missing space to a log message.</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>Initialize ca-related defaults with strdup_or_die() so errors aren't silently ignored.</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>make_path: Use malloc_or_die() in cases where allocation errors were already fatal anyway.</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>handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message slightly.</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>receive_client_request(): Reject https URLs without CONNECT request.</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>Include all requests in the statistics if mutexes are available. Previously in case of reused
+ connections only the last request got counted. The statistics still aren't perfect but it's an
+ improvement.</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>Add read_socks_reply() and start using it in socks5_connect() to apply the socket timeout more
+ consistently.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Stop considering client sockets tainted after receving 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>socks5_connect(): Deal with domain names in the socks reply</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>
- </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>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.</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>
- </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>
- </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>
- </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>
- </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>Add a filter for bundeswehr.de that hides the cookie and privacy info banner.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
<p>Action file improvements:</p>
-

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

- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Documentation improvements:</p>
-
<ul>

- (OSXPackageBuilder).</p>
+ <p>Disable filter{banners-by-size} for .freiheitsfoo.de/.</p>
</li>
-

- correct the documentation to say so.</p>
+ <p>Unblock .eff.org/.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Remove bogus section about long and short being preferable to
- int.</p>
+ <p>Stop unblocking .org/.*(image|banner) which appears to be too generous The example URL
+ http://www.gnu.org/graphics/gnu-head-banner.png is already unblocked due to .gnu.org being unblocked.</p>
</li>
-

- tray icon. Reported by Zeno Kugy in #3596395.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Add new contributors since 3.0.19.</p>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .hagalil.com/.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Log message improvements:</p>
-
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining,
- additionally log the socket number.</p>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.5.</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>Highlight more log messages.</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>
- </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>Highlight the Crunch reason only once. Previously the "crunch reason" could also be highlighted when the
+ URL contained a matching string. The real crunch reason only occurs once per line, so there's no need to
+ continue looking for it after it has been found once. While at it, add a comment with an example log
+ line.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Code cleanups:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Remove compatibility layer for versions prior to 3.0 since it
- has been obsolete for more than 10 years now.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Remove the ijb_isupper() and ijb_tolower() macros from
- parsers.c since they aren't used in this file.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Removed the 'Functions declared include:' comment sections
- since they tend to be incomplete, incorrect and out of date and
- the benefit seems questionable.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Various comment grammar and comprehensibility
- improvements.</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>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Relocate ijb_isupper()'s definition to project.h and get the
- ijb_tolower() definition from there, too.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Relocate ijb_isdigit()'s definition to project.h.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Rename ijb_foo macros to privoxy_foo.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Add malloc_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths
- where malloc() failures don't need to be handled gracefully.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Add strdup_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths
- where strdup() failures don't need to be handled gracefully.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Replace strdup() calls with strdup_or_die() calls where it's
- safe and simplifies the code.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix white-space around parentheses.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Add missing white-space behind if's and the following
- parentheses.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Unwrap a memcpy() call in resolve_hostname_to_ip().</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Declare pcrs_get_delimiter()'s delimiters[] static const.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Various optimisations to remove dead code and merge
- inefficient code structures for improved clarity, performance or
- code compactness.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Various data type corrections.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Change visibility of several code segments when compiling
- without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE enabled for clarity.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>In pcrs_get_delimiter(), do not use delimiters ouside the
- ASCII range. Fixes a clang complaint.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to
- see. Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted
- by Matthew Fischer in #3507304.</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>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Use an enum for the type of the action value.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it
- isn't used as boolean.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Turn family mismatches in match_sockaddr() into fatal
- errors.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass
- a header containing either \r or \n.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Change the hashes used in load_config() to unsigned int.
- That's what hash_string() actually returns and using a
- potentiallly larger type is at best useless.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Use privoxy_tolower() instead of vanilla tolower() with manual
- casting of the argument.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Catch ssplit() failures in parse_cgi_parameters().</p>

- <li>
- <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
-
+ <p>uagen:</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>Bump version to 1.2.4.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Log to STDOUT instead of STDERR.</p>
+ <p>Update BROWSER_VERSION and BROWSER_REVISION to 102.0 to match the User-Agent of the current Firefox
+ ESR.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Include the Privoxy version in the output.</p>
+ <p>Explicitly document that changing the 'Gecko token' is suspicious.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Various grammar and spelling corrections in documentation and
- code.</p>
+ <p>Consistently use a lower-case 'c' as copyright symbol.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Additional tests for range requests with filtering
- enabled.</p>
+ <p>Bump copyright.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Tests with mostly invalid range request.</p>
+ <p>Add 'aarch64' as Linux architecture.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Add a couple of hide-if-modified-since{} tests with different
- date formats.</p>
+ <p>Add OpenBSD architecture 'arm64'.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Cleaned up the format of the regression-tests.action file to
- match the format of default.action.</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>Stop using sparc64 as FreeBSD architecture. It hasn't been supported for a while now.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
-
+ <p>Build system:</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>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>The distribution of client requests per connection is included
- in the --statistic output.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>The --accept-unknown-messages option has been removed and the
- behavior is now the default.</p>
+ <p>Makefile: Add a 'dok' target that depends on the 'error' target to show the "You are not using GNU make
+ or did nor run configure" message.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Accept and (mostly) highlight new log messages introduced with
- Privoxy 3.0.20.</p>
+ <p>configure: Fix --with-msan option. Also (probably) reported by Andrew Savchenko.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>uagen:</p>
-
+ <p>macOS build system:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Bump generated Firefox version to 17.</p>
+ <p>Enable HTTPS inspection when building the macOS binary (using OpenSSL as TLS library).</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>GNUmakefile improvements:</p>
-
+ <p>Documentation:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>The dok-tidy target no longer taints documents with a
- tidy-mark</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Change RA_MODE from 0664 to 0644. Suggested by Markus Dittrich
- in #3505445.</p>
+ <p>Add OpenSSL to the list of libraries that may be licensed under the Apache 2.0 license in which case the
+ linked Privoxy binary has to be distributed under the GPLv3 or later.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Remove tidy's clean flag as it changes the scope of
- attributes. Link-specific colors end up being applied to all
- text. Reported by Adam Piggott in #3569551.</p>
+ <p>config: Fix the documented ca-directory default value. Reported by avoidr.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Leave it up to the user whether or not smart tags are
- inserted.</p>
+ <p>Rebuild developer-manual and tidy with 'HTML Tidy for FreeBSD version 5.8.0'.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Let w3m itself do the line wrapping for the config file. It
- works better than fmt as it can honour pre tags causing less
- unintentional line breaks.</p>
+ <p>Update developer manual with new macOS packaging instructions.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>Ditch a pointless '-r' passed to rm to delete files.</p>
+ <p>Note that the FreeBSD installation instructions work for ElectroBSD as well.</p>
</li>
-
<li>
- <p>The config-file target now requires less manual intervention
- and updates the original config.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Change WDUMP to generate ASCII. Add WDUMP_UTF8 to allow UTF-8
- in the AUTHORS file so the names are right.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>Stop pretending that lynx and links are supported for the
- documentation.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>configure improvements:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- <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>
- </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>
+ <p>Note that FreeBSD/ElectroBSD users can try to install Privoxy as binary package using 'pkg'.</p>
