           <li>
-            <p>Fixed a DoS issue in case of client requests with incorrect
-            chunk-encoded body. When compiled with assertions enabled (the
-            default) they could previously cause Privoxy to abort(). Reported
-            by Matthew Daley.</p>
+            <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 multiple segmentation faults and memory leaks in the
-            pcrs code. This fix also increases the chances that an invalid
-            pcrs command is rejected as such. Previously some invalid
-            commands would be loaded without error. Note that Privoxy's pcrs
-            sources (action and filter files) are considered trustworthy
-            input and should not be writable by untrusted third-parties.</p>
+            <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>

+        <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>Fixed an 'invalid read' bug which could at least theoretically
-            cause Privoxy to crash. So far, no crashes have been
-            observed.</p>
+            <p>On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to
+            be unique now.</p>
           </li>
 
           <li>
-            <p>Compiles with --disable-force again. Reported by Kai
-            Raven.</p>
+            <p>When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is
+            logged as well.</p>

           <li>
-            <p>Client requests with body that can't be delivered no longer
-            cause pipelined requests behind them to be rejected as invalid.
-            Reported by Basil Hussain.</p>
+            <p>A couple of harmless coverity warnings were silenced (CID
+            #161202, CID #161203, CID #161211).</p>

         <ul>
           <li>
-            <p>If a pcrs command is rejected as invalid, Privoxy now logs the
-            cause of the problem as text. Previously the pcrs error code was
-            logged.</p>
+            <p>Filtering is disabled for Range requests to let download

-            <p>The tests are less likely to cause false positives.</p>

+          <li>
+            <p>Add FAQ entry for crashes caused by memory limits.</p>

+
+          <li>
+            <p>Mention the new mailing lists were appropriate. As the

+            at SF in the contacting section for now.</p>
+          </li>
+
+          <li>
+            <p>Note that the templates should be adjusted if Privoxy is

+          </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

+            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
