- 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.

-><P
-> 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.
- </P

-><P
-> 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.
- </P

-><LI
-><P
-> 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.
- </P

-><P
-> Linear white space in HTTP headers will be normalized to single
- spaces before parsing the header's content, headers split across
- multiple lines get merged first.
- </P

-><P
-> Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less
- likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured.
- </P

-><LI
-><P
-> 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.

-><P
-> 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".
- </P

-><LI
-><P
-> Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that
- contain the pattern "/jump/".
- </P

-> The less-download-windows filter no longer messes
- "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up.

-><P
-> In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and
- inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee.

-> The GNUmakefile supports the DESTDIR variable. Patch for
- the install target submitted by Radoslaw Zielinski.
- </P

-><LI
-><P
-> Embedding the content of configuration files in the show-status
- page is significantly faster now. For a largish action file (1 MB)
- a speedup of about 2450 times has been measured. This is mostly
- interesting if you are using large action files or regularly use
- Privoxy-Regression-Test while running Privoxy through Valgrind,
- for stock configuration files it doesn't really matter.

-> If zlib support is unavailable and there are content
- filters active but the prevent-compression action is disabled,
- the show-url-info page includes a warning that compression
- might prevent filtering.
- </P

-><P
-> The show-url-info page provides an OpenSearch Description that
- allows to access the page through browser search plugins.
- </P

-><LI
-><P
-> The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the
- PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are slightly
- less unreliable.
- </P

-><LI
-><P
-> The inspect-jpegs action has been removed.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The send-wafer and send-vanilla-wafer actions have been removed.
- They weren't particular useful and their behaviour could be emulated
- with add-header anyway.

-><P
-> Privoxy-Regression-Test has been significantly improved.
- </P

-> Most sections in the default.action file contain tests for
- Privoxy-Regression-Test to verify that they are working as intended.

-> Parts of Privoxy have been refactored to increase maintainability.

-> Building with zlib (if available) is done by default.

-><P
-> Ordinary configuration file changes no longer cause program
- termination on OS/2 if the name of the logfile hasn't been
- changed as well. This regression probably crept in with the
- logging improvements in 3.0.7. Reported by Maynard.

-> The img-reorder filter is less likely to mess up JavaScript code in
- img tags. Problem and solution reported by Glenn Washburn in #2014552.

-> The source tar ball now includes Privoxy-Log-Parser,
