Reported by "Karsten" in #3028326. +- 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. +- 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. +- 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. +- The IPv6 code is enabled by default on Windows versions that support it. Patch submitted by oCameLo in #2942729. - Time will tell if this causes problems for earlier Windows - versions, but if it does, it should be easy enough to fix. -- Feature Requests 3040263 :: Add "user.filter" to "Edit" menu - - add an "Edit User Filters" menu item to the Privoxy Windows systray icon and - change the "Edit Filters" menu item to "Edit Default Filters" -- Add configure option --enable-large-file-support. It sets a few defines - that are required by platforms like GNU/Linux to support files larger - then 2GB. -- In log_error(), log as much of %N "strings" as the buffer allows. - Previously we'd stop at the first nul byte which is pretty useless. - While at it, replace non-printable characters in %N "strings" with - their hex value so the result can't span multiple lines and \r's - don't cause a mess. -- create a log record when reading an action, filter or trust file. +- In mingw32 versions, the user.filter file is reachable through the + GUI, just like default.filter is. Feature request 3040263. +- 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. +- 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. +- Privoxy logs when reading an action, filter or trust file. - Fixed incorrect regression test markup which caused a test in 3.0.16 to fail while Privoxy itself was working correctly.
