The client + is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering + the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the + "No server or forwarder data received" error message many users + reported. +- More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets + with keep-alive enabled. +- FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from + FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on + all platforms. +- Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections. + Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting + form data with some browser configurations. +- Fixed various latency calculation issues. +- Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a + forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work + in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn't. Now it's confirmed to work + with IE, Firefox and Chrome. + Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang +- Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers + takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate + the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver. +- Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems + using earlier glibc version that don't support AI_ADDRCONFIG. + Anonymously submitted in #2872591. +- A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec + files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for + quite some time. +- Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper + error message. Previously they would be either rejected as + invalid or cause a core dump through abort(). +- Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered. + They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot. +- len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might + differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly. +- The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent() + instead of escape() which doesn't encode all characters that matter. + Anonymously reported in #2832722. +- Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob(). +- Various log message improvements. +- Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests. +- Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics. + +*** Version 3.0.14 Beta *** + +- The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to + reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of + connections problems several users reported. +- If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive, + Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second. +- The error pages for connection timeouts or missing server data use a + Last-Modified date in the past. Retry attempts are detected and Privoxy + removes the If-Modified-Since header to prevent the server from responding + with status code 304 in which case the client would reuse the error message. +- Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support. Previously + Privoxy would claim to allow persistence but not reuse the connection. +- Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request + body of the previous request. Note that Privoxy still has no real + pipeline support and will either serialize pipelined requests or + drop them in which case the client has to resent them. +- Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization + is enabled and the date couldn't be parsed. +- Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced + to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header. +- For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not + setting any Connection header instead of using 'Connection: keep-alive'. +- If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste + a socket slot to remember the connection. +- If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's + Keep-Alive header is removed. +- Fixed a bug on mingw32 where downloading large files failed if + keep-alive support was enabled. +- Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log + timestamps to be occasionally off by about a second. +- No Proxy-Connection header if added if there already is one. +- The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching + for groups and id. + +*** Version 3.0.13 Beta *** + +- Added IPv6 support. Thanks to Petr Pisar who not only provided + the initial patch but also helped a lot with the integration. +- Added client-side keep-alive support. +- The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing + option is enabled. +- The max-client-connections option has been added to restrict + the number of client connections below a value enforced by + the operating system. +- Fixed a regression reintroduced in 3.0.12 that could cause + crashes on mingw32 if header date randomization was enabled. +- Compressed content with extra fields couldn't be decompressed + and would get passed to the client unfiltered. This problem + has only be detected through statical analysis with clang as + nobody seems to be using extra fields anyway. +- If the server resets the Connection after sending only the headers + Privoxy forwards what it got to the client. Previously Privoxy + would deliver an error message instead. +- Error messages in case of connection timeouts use the right + HTTP status code. +- If spawning a child to handle a request fails, the client + gets an error message and Privoxy continues to listen for + new requests right away. +- The error messages in case of server-connection timeouts or + prematurely closed server connections are now template-based. +- If zlib support isn't compiled in, Privoxy no longer tries to + filter compressed content unless explicitly asked to do so. +- In case of connections that are denied based on ACL directives, + the memory used for the client IP is no longer leaked. +- Fixed another small memory leak if the client request times out + while waiting for client headers other than the request line. - The client socket is kept open until the server socket has been marked as unused. This should increase the chances that the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next - request to the same destination. + request to the same destination. Note that this only matters + if connection-sharing is enabled. +- A TODO list has been added to the source tarballs to give potential + volunteers a better idea of what the current goals are.
