+ <p>
+ <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.25</span> beta introduces
+ client-specific tags and includes a couple of minor improvements. It
+ will be followed by a stable release in the near future.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ </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>
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ General improvements:
+ </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>
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Include the listen-address in the log message when logging
+ new requests. Patch contributed by pursievro.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal errors.
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to
+ be unique now.
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Action file improvements:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download
+ resumption and Windows updates work with the default
+ configuration.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Unblock ".ardmediathek.de/". Reported by ThTomate in #932.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Documentation improvements:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Remove obsolete FAQ entry about a bug in PHP 4.2.3.
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is
+ running as intercepting proxy without getting all requests.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ A bunch of links were converted to https://.
+ </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>
+ </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>
+ </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>
+ </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>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Add a FAQ entry for tainted sockets.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ More sections in the documentation have stable URLs now.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ FAQ: Explain why 'ping config.privoxy.org' is not expected to
+ reach a local Privoxy installation.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Note that donations done through Zwiebelfreunde e.V.
+ currently can't be checked automatically.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Updated section regarding starting Privoxy under OS X.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Use dedicated start instructions for FreeBSD and ElectroBSD.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Removed release instructions for AIX. They haven't been
+ working for years and unsurprisingly nobody seems to care.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Removed obsolete reference to the solaris-dist target.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Updated the release instructions for FreeBSD.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Removed unfinished release instructions for Amiga OS and
+ HP-UX 11.
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Various typos have been fixed.
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The mailing lists at SourceForge have been deprecated, you
+ can subscribe to the new ones at: https://lists.privoxy.org/
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Migrating the remaining services from SourceForge is work in
+ progress (TODO list item #53).
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Build system improvements:
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Let the tarball-dist target skip files in ".git".
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Let the tarball-dist target work in cwds other than current.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Make the 'clean' target faster when run from a git
+ repository.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Include tools in the generic distribution.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Let the gen-dist target work in cwds other than current.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Sort find output that is used for distribution tarballs to
+ get reproducible results.
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Add regression-tests.action to the files that are
+ distributed.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The gen-dist target which was broken since 2002 (r1.92) has
+ been fixed.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Remove genclspec.sh which has been obsolete since 2009.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Remove obsolete reference to Redhat spec file.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Remove the obsolete announce target which has been commented
+ out years ago.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Let rsync skip files if the checksums match.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <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 "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>
+ </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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Fix indentation in perldoc examples.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Don't overlook directives in the first line of the action
+ file.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Bump version to 0.7.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Fix detection of the Privoxy version now that https:// is
+ used for the website.

+ <a name="UPGRADERSNOTE">3.1. Note to Upgraders</a>
+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier
+ versions of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ The recommended way to upgrade <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is to backup your old
+ configuration files, install the new ones, verify that <span
+ class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is working correctly and
+ finally merge back your changes using <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">diff</span> and maybe <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">patch</span>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There are a number of new features in each <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> release and most of them have to
+ be explicitly enabled in the configuration files. Old
+ configuration files obviously don't do that and due to syntax
+ changes using old configuration files with a new <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> isn't always possible anyway.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Note that some installers remove earlier versions completely,
+ including configuration files, therefore you should really save
+ any important configuration files!
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ On the other hand, other installers don't overwrite existing
+ configuration files, thinking you will want to do that
+ yourself.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ In the default configuration only fatal errors are logged now.
+ You can change that in the <a href="config.html#DEBUG">debug
+ section</a> of the configuration file. You may also want to
+ enable more verbose logging until you verified that the new
+ <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version is working as
+ expected.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Three other config file settings are now off by default: <a
+ href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-TOGGLE">enable-remote-toggle</a>, <a
+ href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-REMOTE-HTTP-TOGGLE">enable-remote-http-toggle</a>,
+ and <a href=
+ "config.html#ENABLE-EDIT-ACTIONS">enable-edit-actions</a>. If
+ you use or want these, you will need to explicitly enable them,
+ and be aware of the security issues involved.
