ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Version 3.0.22 stable ***
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Actually show the FORCE_PREFIX value on the show-status page
+ - Properly deal with Keep-Alive headers with timeout= parameters
+ If the timeout still can't be parsed, use the configured
+ timeout instead of preventing the client from keeping the
+ connection alive. Fixes #3615312/#870 reported by Bernard Guillot.
+ - Not using any filter files no longer results in warning messages
+ unless an action file is referencing header taggers or filters.
+ Reported by Stefan Kurtz in #3614835.
+ - A couple of additional bugs were discovered by Coverity Scan.
+ The changes that are not expected to be user visible are not
+ explicitly mentioned here, for details please have a look at
+ the CVS logs.
+
+- General improvements:
+ -Introduced negative tag patterns NO-REQUEST-TAG and NO-RESPONSE-TAG
+ They apply if no matching tag is found after parsing client
+ or server headers.
+ - Add support for external filters which allow to process the
+ response body with a script or program written in any language
+ the platform supports. External filters are enabled with
+ +external-filter{} after they have been defined in one of the
+ filter files with a header line starting with "EXTERNAL-FILTER:".
+ External filter support is experimental, not compiled by default
+ and not expected to work on all platforms.
+ - Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789
+ - Reject requests with unsupported Expect header values
+ Fixes a couple of Co-Advisor tests.
+ - Normalize the HTTP-version in forwarded requests and responses.
+ This is an explicit RFC 2616 MUST and RFC 7230 mandates
+ that intermediaries send their own HTTP-version in forwarded
+ messages.
+ - Change declared template file encoding to UTF-8.
+ The files already used a subset of UTF-8 anyway and changing
+ the declaration allows to properly display UTF-8 characters
+ used in the action files.
+ This change may require existing action files with ISO-8859-1
+ characters that aren't valid UTF-8 to be converted to UTF-8.
+ Requested by Sam Chen in #582.
+ - Do not pass rejected keep-alive timeouts to the server. It might
+ not have caused any problems (we know of), but doing the right
+ thing shouldn't hurt either.
+ - Let log_error() use its own buffer size #define
+ to make changing the log buffer size slightly less inconvenient.
+ - Turned single-threaded into a "proper" toggle directive with arguments.
+ - CGI templates no longer enforce new windows for some links.
+ - Remove an undocumented workaround (HOST header removal) for
+ an Apple iTunes bug that according to #729900 got fixed in 2003.
+
+- Action file improvements:
+ - The pattern 'promotions.' is no longer being blocked.
+ Reported by rakista in #3608540.
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .microsofttranslator.com/
+ - Disable filter{banners-by-size} for .dgb-tagungszentren.de/
+ - Add adn.speedtest.net as a site-specific unblocker.
+ Support request #3612908.
+ - Disable filter{banners-by-size} for creativecommons.org/
+ - Block requests to data.gosquared.com/. Reported by cbug in #3613653.
+ - Unblock .conrad./newsletter/. Reported by David Bo in #3614238.
+ - Unblock .bundestag.de/.
+ - Unblock .rote-hilfe.de/.
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .facebook.com/plugins/like.php.
+ - Unblock Stackexchange popup URLs that aren't used to serve ads.
+ Reported by David Wagner in #3615179.
+ - Disable fast-redirects for creativecommons.org/.
+ - Unblock .stopwatchingus.info/.
+ - Block requests for .adcash.com/script/.
+ Reported by Tyrexionibus in #3615289.
+ - Disable HTML filters if the response was tagged as JavaScript.
+ Filtering JavaScript code with filters intended to deal with HTML
+ is usually a waste of time and, more importantly, may break stuff.
+ - Use a custom redirect{} for .washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs\.php\?src=
+ Previously enabling the 'Advanced' settings (or manually enabling
+ +fast-redirects{}) prevented some images from being loaded properly.
+ - Unblock "adina*." Fixes #919 reported by Morton A. Goldberg.
+ - Block '/.*DigiAd'
+ - Unblock 'adele*.'. Reported by Adele Lime in #1663.
+
+- Filter file improvements & bug fixes:
+ - Decrease the chances that js-annoyances creates invalid JavaScript.
+ Submitted by John McGowan on ijbswa-users@.
+ - Let the msn filter hide 'related' ads again
+ - Remove a stray '1' in the 'html-annoyances' filter
+ - Prevent img-reorder from messing up img tags with empty src attributes
+ Fixes #880 reported by Duncan.
+
+- Documentation improvements:
+ - Updated the 'Would you like to donate?' section.
+ - Note that invalid forward-override{} parameter syntax isn't
+ detected until the parameter is used.
+ - Add another +redirect{} example: a shortcut for illumos bugs.
+ - Make it more obvious that many operating systems support log
+ rotation out of the box
+ - Fixed dead links. Reported by Mark Nelson in #3614557.
+ - Rephrased the 'Why is the configuration so complicated?' answer
+ to be slightly less condescending. Anonymously suggested in #3615122.
+ - Be more explicit about accept-intercepted-requests's lack of MITM support
+ - Make 'demoronizer' FAQ entries more generic
+ - Add an example hostname to the --pre-chroot-nslookup description
+ - Add an example for a host pattern that matches an IP address
+ - Rename the 'domain pattern' to 'host pattern' as it may contain IP addresses as well
+ - Recommend forward-socks5t when using Tor
+ It seems to work fine and modifying the Tor configuration
+ to profit from it hasn't been necessary for a while now.
+ - Add another redirect{} example to stress that redirect loops can and should be avoided
+ - The usual spelling and grammar fixes. Parts of them were
+ reported by Reuben Thomas in #3615276.
+ - Mention the PCRS option letters T and D in the filter section
+ - Clarify that handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok is still useful
+ and will not be removed without replacement
+ - Note that security issues shouldn't be reported using the bug tracker
+ - Clarify what Privoxy does if both +block{} and +redirect{} apply
+ - Removed the obsolete bookmarklets section.
+
+- Build system improvements
+ - Let --with-group properly deal with secondary groups
+ Patch submitted by Anatoly Arzhnikov in #3615187.
+ - Fix web-actions target
+ - Add a web-faq target that only updates the FAQ on the webserver
+ - Remove already-commented-out non-portable DOSFILTER alternatives
+ - Remove the obsolete targets dok-put and dok-get
+ - Add a sf-shell target
+
