+ <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>
+ <ul>
+ <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>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>General improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Log when privoxy is toggled on or off via cgi interface.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message in the Windows log viewer.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message in the Windows log viewer.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a potentionally more appropriate alternative.</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>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add sponsor FAQ.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove obsolete reference to mailing lists hosted at SourceForge.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update the "Before the Release" section of the developer manual.</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>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Build system improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>strptime.h: fix a compiler warning about ambiguous else.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>configure.in: Check for Docbook goo on the BSDs as well.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>GNUMakefile.in: Let the dok-user target remove temporary files.</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>
+ </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.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <div class="SECT2">
+ <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="UPGRADERSNOTE" id="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>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>
- Fixed last-chunk-detection for responses where the content was
- small enough to be read with the body, causing Privoxy to wait
- for the end of the content until the server closed the connection
- or the request timed out. Reported by "Karsten" in #3028326.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Responses with status code 204 weren't properly detected as
- body-less like RFC2616 mandates. Like the previous bug, this
- caused Privoxy to wait for the end of the content until the
- server closed the connection or the request timed out. Fixes
- #3022042 and #3025553, reported by a user with no visible name.
- Most likely also fixes a bunch of other AJAX-related problem
- reports that got closed in the past due to insufficient
- information and lack of feedback.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Fixed an ACL bug that made it impossible to build a blacklist.
- Usually the ACL directives are used in a whitelist, which worked
- as expected, but blacklisting is still useful for public proxies
- where one only needs to deny known abusers access.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Added LOG_LEVEL_RECEIVED to log the not-yet-parsed data read from
- the network. This should make debugging various parsing issues a
- lot easier.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- The IPv6 code is enabled by default on Windows versions that
- support it. Patch submitted by oCameLo in #2942729.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- In mingw32 versions, the user.filter file is reachable through
- the GUI, just like default.filter is. Feature request 3040263.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Added the configure option --enable-large-file-support to set a
- few defines that are required by platforms like GNU/Linux to
- support files larger then 2GB. Mainly interesting for users
- without proper logfile management.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Logging with "debug 16" no longer stops at the first nul byte
- which is pretty useless. Non-printable characters are replaced
- with their hex value so the result can't span multiple lines
- making parsing them harder then necessary.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Privoxy logs when reading an action, filter or trust file.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Fixed incorrect regression test markup which caused a test in
- 3.0.16 to fail while Privoxy itself was working correctly. While
- Privoxy accepts hide-referer, too, the action name is actually
- hide-referrer which is also the name used one the final results
- page, where the test expected the alias.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- CGI interface improvements:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- In finish_http_response(), continue to add the 'Connection:
- close' header if the client connection will not be kept
- alive. Anonymously pointed out in #2987454.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Apostrophes in block messages no longer cause parse errors
- when the blocked page is viewed with JavaScript enabled.
- Reported by dg1727 in #3062296.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Fix a bunch of anchors that used underscores instead of
- dashes.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Allow to keep the client connection alive after crunching the
- previous request. Already opened server connections can be
- kept alive, too.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- In cgi_show_url_info(), don't forget to prefix URLs that only
- contain http:// or https:// in the path. Fixes #2975765
- reported by Adam Piggott.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Show the 404 CGI page if cgi_send_user_manual() is called
- while local user manual delivery is disabled.
- </p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Action file improvements:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- Enable user.filter by default. Suggested by David White in
- #3001830.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block .sitestat.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002725.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block .atemda.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002723.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block js.adlink.net/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002720.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block .analytics.yahoo.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002713.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block sb.scorecardresearch.com, too. Reported by dg1727 in
- #2992652.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Fix problems noticed on Yahoo mail and news pages.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Remove the too broad yahoo section, only keeping the
- fast-redirects exception as discussed on ijbswa-devel@.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Don't block adesklets.sourceforge.net. Reported in #2974204.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block chartbeat ping tracking. Reported in #2975895.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Tag CSS and image requests with cautious and medium settings,
- too.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Don't handle view.atdmt.com as image. It's used for
- click-throughs so users should be able to "go there anyway".
- Reported by Adam Piggott in #2975927.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Also let the refresh-tags filter remove invalid refresh tags
- where the 'url=' part is missing. Anonymously reported in
- #2986382. While at it, update the description to mention the
- fact that only refresh tags with refresh times above 9
- seconds are covered.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- javascript needs to be blocked with +handle-as-empty-document
- to work around Firefox bug 492459. So move .js blockers from
- +block{Might be a web-bug.} -handle-as-empty-document to
- +block{Might be a web-bug.} +handle-as-empty-document.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- ijbswa-Feature Requests-3006719 - Block 160x578 Banners.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Block another omniture tracking domain.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Added a range-requests tagger.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Added two sections to get Flickr's Ajax interface working
- with default pre-settings. If you change the configuration to
- block cookies by default, you'll need additional exceptions.
- Reported by Mathias Homann in #3101419 and by Patrick on
- ijbswa-users@.
- </p>
- </li>
- </ul>
+ <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>
- Documentation improvements:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- Explicitly mention how to match all URLs.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Consistently recommend socks5 in the Tor FAQ entry and
- mention its advantage compared to socks4a. Reported by David
- in #2960129.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Slightly improve the explanation of why filtering may appear
- slower than it is.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Grammar fixes for the ACL section.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Fixed a link to the 'intercepting' entry and add another one.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Rename the 'Other' section to 'Mailing Lists' and reword it
- to make it clear that nobody is forced to use the trackers
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Note that 'anonymously' posting on the trackers may not
- always be possible.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- Suggest to enable debug 32768 when suspecting parsing
- problems.
- </p>
- </li>
- </ul>
+ <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>
- Privoxy-Log-Parser improvements:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- Gather statistics for ressources, methods, and HTTP versions
- used by the client.
- </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>
- <tt class="FILENAME">standard.action</tt> has been merged into
- the <tt class="FILENAME">default.action</tt> file.
- </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.

- 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=
