Patch provided by Eric M. Hopper. +- The "blocked" CGI pages include a block reason that was + provided as argument to the last-applying block action. +- If enable-edit-actions is disabled (the default since 3.0.7 beta) + the show-status page hides the edit buttons and explains why. + Previously the user would get the "this feature has been disabled" + message after using the edit button. +- Forbidden CONNECT requests are treated like blocks by default. + The now-pointless treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks action + has been removed. +- Not enabling limit-connect now allows CONNECT requests to all ports. + In previous versions it would only allow CONNECT requests to port 443. + Use +limit-connect{443} if you think you need the old default behaviour. +- The CGI editor gets turned off after three edit requests with invalid + file modification timestamps. This makes life harder for attackers + who can leverage browser bugs to send fake Referers and intend to + brute-force edit URLs. +- Action settings for multiple patterns in the same section are + shared in memory. As a result these sections take up less space + (and are loaded slightly faster). Problem reported by Franz Schwartau. +- Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less + likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured. +- New config option "hostname" to use a hostname other than + the one returned by the operating system. Useful to speed-up responses + for CGI requests on misconfigured systems. Requested by Max Khon. +- The CGI editor supports the "disable all filters of this type" + directives "-client-header-filter", "-server-header-filter", + "-client-header-tagger" and "-server-header-tagger". +- Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that + contain the pattern "/jump/". +- The less-download-windows filter no longer messes + "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up. +- In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and + inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee. +- The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the + PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are less + unreliable. + +*** Version 3.0.8 *** + +- Fixed a small memory leak when listen-address only specifies the port. +- The source tar balls now include Privoxy-Regression-Test which + (upon other things) can be used to automatically detect some + packaging problems. Packagers are welcome to give it a try. +- Reverted a change in 3.0.7 that caused path patterns to be checked + even if the host pattern match already failed. While this doesn't + noticeable affect the performance, it makes it less likely to run + out of stack space with overly-complex path patterns the user might + have added. +- Updated the msn, yahoo and google filters to work as advertised again. +- The warning message shown by the show-status CGI page is easier to + understand. Previously it wasn't clear that the error message + is shown below the invalid directive. (Reported by Lee) +- When regenerating Content-Disposition headers the more common + spelling is used for the name. Previously it was written without caps. +- Less confusing log message if the content type isn't overwritten + because force-text-type wasn't used but the old type doesn't look + like content that would be filtered normally. +- Better log messages if the user tries to execute filters that + don't exist. +- Treat the non-standard Request-Range headers like standard range + headers and suppress them if content filtering is enabled. +- Prevent the log messages for CONNECT requests to unacceptable + ports from printing the limit-connect argument as [null] if + limit-connect hasn't been explicitly enabled. +- Don't disable the mingw32 log window if the logfile directive + isn't used. While it was an intentional change in 3.0.7 at least + one user perceived it as a regression and the same effect can + be achieved by disabling all debug directives. +- Fixed two minor problems related to the win32 build process: a css + file was not being in the installer and the trustfile comment in the + config.txt referenced a nonexisting file +- Minor documentation fixes. + +*** Version 3.0.7 Beta *** + +- Added zlib support to filter content with gzip and deflate + encoding. (Patch provided by Wil Mahan) +- Dedicated filters and actions are used for header filtering. + "filter-client-headers" and "filter-client-headers" are no longer + supported, use server-header-filter{} and client-header-filter{} + instead. +- Tags can be used to change actions based on HTTP headers. +- New server-header filter: less-download-windows. +- New client-header taggers: css-requests, image-requests, + client-ip-address, http-method, allow-post, complete-url, + user-agent and privoxy-control. +- New server-header taggers: content-type and privoxy-control. +- The forward-override{} action allows to change the forwarding + settings through the action files, for example based on client + headers like the User-Agent, or the request origin. +- Socks errors are no longer handled by the CGI page for + DNS resolution failures. +- CGI pages use favicons to signal whether they are error + or control pages. This is useful if you rely heavily on + browser tabs. +- The show-url-info CGI page shows the forwarding settings. +- "Crunch!" log messages (used when Privoxy answers requests + by itself) now also contain the reason. +- Allow to rewrite the request destination behind the client's back. +- Fix socks requests on big-endian platforms. Patch provided by Song Weijia. +- Fixes possible deadlocks and crashes on OpenBSD. + Patch provided by Ralf Horstmann. +- The CGI action editor allows to edit actionfiles with previously + forbidden characters like dots. +- New trust entries are saved with a comment that contains the + trusted referring URL (Suggested by Daniel Griscom). +- Filter descriptions are HTML encoded automatically. +- New config option "split-large-forms" to work + around a browser bug that caused IE6 and IE7 to ignore + the Submit button on the edit-actions-for-url CGI page. +- New config option "allow-cgi-request-crunching" to allow + requests for Privoxy's CGI pages to be blocked, redirected + or (un)trusted like ordinary requests. +- Empty filter files no longer interrupt the filtering process + prematurely and are correctly listed on the show-status CGI page. +- New config option "accept-intercepted-requests" to combine + Privoxy with any packet filter to build an intercepting proxy + for HTTP/1.1 requests (and for HTTP/1.0 requests with Host header set). +- fast-redirects{} catch redirects to https URLs as well. +- redirect{s@foo@bar@} can be used to redirect to a rewritten + version of the original URL. +- Trap unsupported gopher proxy requests. +- Fixed a bug in the User Manual delivery on Windows + (mingw32 only). Images now show up correctly and HTML + pages are no longer padded with garbage data. +- Fixed several minor memory leaks, most of them discovered with Valgrind. +- Only unlink the pidfile if it's actually used. +- Retries after connection problems with forced requests + aren't blocked again. +- On Unix SIGABRT causes a core dump as expected and is no + longer treated as normal shutdown signal. +- The "access denied" CGI page is more descriptive and + allows retries to circumvent the referrer check. +- Updated PCRS to handle unexpected PCRE errors properly. + Fixed crashes that could occur if Privoxy was build + with external PCRE versions newer than Privoxy's internal + one. (Reported by Chung-chieh Shan) +- Fixed crashes with null bytes in PCRS replacement strings + (Patch provided by Felix Gröbert). +- Fixed crashes with header time randomization on mingw32. +- The CGI style sheet is no longer delivered if the referring + page isn't a Privoxy CGI page. This prevents a JavaScript-based + Privoxy detection "attack". Note that detecting Privoxy is + still possible through other ways and Privoxy was never intended + to be invisible anyway. +- Added support for AmigaOS 4, fixed build for AmigaOS 3.x. +- The show-url-info CGI page displays a warning if Privoxy + is currently toggled off. +- The show-status CGI page suppresses the edit button + for action files if Privoxy has no write access. +- Most CGI error pages react properly to HEAD requests. +- Requests with RFC 3253 HTTP methods (used by Subversion) + are accepted. (Patch provided by Petr Kadlec) +- New config option "templdir" to change the location + of the CGI templates to make sure customized templates + aren't "updated". +- Better handling of "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" responses. +- The background of the PNG pattern is transparent. +- Fixed XML syntax errors caused by banners-by-size and banners-by-url. +- Fixed crashes and possible action file corruptions + when lines containing hashes are written through the CGI editor. +- Supports dynamic filters which can contain variables. +- Supports tags to change the actions based on client or server headers. +- Incorrect actions are logged before program termination. +- The "actionsfile" syntax in the configuration file is consistent + with the rest of the configuration options and requires the + whole file name. This is an incompatible change, if you use + an old configuration file you might have to append ".action" + to your "actionsfile" directives. +- With the configuration file option "enforce-blocks" the + "go there anyway" mechanism can be disabled without recompiling + Privoxy. +- More precise error messages in case of incorrect acl syntax. +- Logs a warning if filtering is enabled but impossible due + to lack of zlib support or use of the prevent-compression action. +- Less noisy handling of Cookie:" and "Connection:" headers. +- Improved error messages in case of connection problems. +- Fix a command-line-parsing bug that was introduced before 3.0.5 + beta and caused Privoxy to treat the last argument as configuration + file if no configuration file was specified. +- Treat unknown command line options as fatal errors instead + of silently ignoring them. +- Use string functions with length checks more often. +- Don't log CONNECT requests twice. +- Allow to log the source address for ACL-related connection drops. +- Don't ignore applying filters if the server didn't + specify a Content-Type. Bug reported by Amuro Namie. +- Rejected CONNECT requests are logged with log level info + (enabled by default) and the reason for the block. +- New command line option "--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname" to + intialize the resolver library before chroot'ing. On some systems this + reduces the number of files that must be copied into the chroot tree. + (Patch provided by Stephen Gildea) +- Fix a long-standing memory corruption bug that could cause + Privoxy to overwrite a single byte in memory it didn't explicitly + allocate (but that probably was allocated anyway due to bucket size). +- Send template-based CGI pages as HTTP/1.1 unless the client + asked for HTTP/1.0. +- Let the first line in connection established responses + end in \r\n as required by RFC1945. Reported by Bert van Leeuwen. +- If no log file has been specified, disable logging instead of logging + to stderr. +- Don't block stderr when in daemon mode. +- Ignore missing zero-chunks when filtering chunk-encoded content. + Earlier Privoxy versions would buffer and then forward the content + unmodified which caused some browsers to simply show empty pages. +- Fix double free in cgi_edit_actions_list(). Reported by Venustech AD-LAB. +- The code to add X-Forwarded-For headers when the hide-forwarded-for-headers + action isn't being used has been removed. +- Fixed trustfile feature which previously didn't work without FEATURE_TOGGLE. + Reported by Lee. +- Minor code clean-ups, filter and action file updates. + (Some of them reported by Davide Alberani, Markus Elfring, + Stefan Huehner and Adam Piggott) *** Version 3.0.6 *** @@ -18,7 +233,7 @@ ChangeLog for Privoxy - Changed webinterface default values for hide-user-agent, hide-referrer and set-image-blocker. -*** Version 3.0.5 *** +*** Version 3.0.5 Beta *** - Windows version can be installed/started as a service. - Windows icon stays blue when Privoxy is idle, green when busy. @@ -335,12 +550,12 @@ being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -Copyright : Written by and Copyright (C) 2001 the SourceForge +Copyright : Written by and Copyright (C) 2001-2007 the SourceForge Privoxy team. http://www.privoxy.org/ Based on the Internet Junkbuster originally written by and Copyright (C) 1997 Anonymous Coders and - Junkbusters Corporation. http://www.junkbusters.com + Junkbusters Corporation. http://www.junkbusters.com/ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General @@ -360,4 +575,11 @@ Copyright : Written by and Copyright (C) 2001 the SourceForge or write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. + Note that parts of Privoxy are under licenses that are + GPL-compatible but less restrictive - for details see + Privoxy's source code.
