+ <p>Changes in <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy 3.0.30</span> stable:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Security/Reliability:</p>
+ <p>Bug fixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Fixed memory leaks when a response is buffered and the buffer limit is reached or Privoxy is running out
- of memory. Commits bbd53f1010b and 4490d451f9b. OVE-20201118-0001. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests. Previously Privoxy would only check
+ the path which resulted in rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs. Reported by withoutname in
+ #1736.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed a memory leak in the show-status CGI handler when no action files are configured. Commit
- c62254a686. OVE-20201118-0002. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs. Previously they would always be
+ treated like a changed host.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed a memory leak in the show-status CGI handler when no filter files are configured. Commit
- 1b1370f7a8a. OVE-20201118-0003. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through https://. Previously Privoxy would
+ use the http headers which may be empty on a reused connection.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixes a memory leak when client tags are active. Commit 245e1cf32. OVE-20201118-0004. Sponsored by:
- Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION. This unbreaks (at least)
+ https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in
+ browser warnings.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed a memory leak if multiple filters are executed and the last one is skipped due to a pcre error.
- Commit 5cfb7bc8fe. OVE-20201118-0005.</p>
+ <p>Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time. Previously Privoxy would crash.
+ Reported by: Kai Raven</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Prevent an unlikely dereference of a NULL-pointer that could result in a crash if
- accept-intercepted-requests was enabled, Privoxy failed to get the request destination from the Host header
- and a memory allocation failed. Commit 7530132349. CID 267165. OVE-20201118-0006.</p>
+ <p>Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would
+ wait for the client to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed memory leaks in the client-tags CGI handler when client tags are configured and memory allocations
- fail. Commit cf5640eb2a. CID 267168. OVE-20201118-0007.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Fixed memory leaks in the show-status CGI handler when memory allocations fail. Commit 064eac5fd0 and
- commit fdee85c0bf3. CID 305233. OVE-20201118-0008.</p>
+ <p>When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not
+ recommended for production builds), the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
+ connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the wrong time.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<p>General improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Added experimental https inspection support which allows to filter https traffic. To enable it, install
- MbedTLS and configure with --with-mbedtls, or install OpenSSL or LibreSSL and configure with
- --with-openssl. Afterwards configure the directives in section 7 of the config file and enable the
- +https-inspection action. Initial MbedTLS-based code contributed by Vaclav Svec, initial OpenSSL support
- contributed by Maxim Antonov. With help from Nedzad Hrnjica and Ho+ Ho+ Ho+. Integration and improvements
- sponsored by Robert Klemme.</p>
+ <p>Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected requests behind the client's back. The
+ documentation already sort of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that it didn't
+ work for https-inspected requests. Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>pcrs: Request JIT compilation if it's supported and the filter isn't dynamic. This can speed up
- filtering.</p>
+ <p>Add support for filtering client request bodies by using CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled
+ with the client-body-filter action. Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added support for Brotli decompression. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Add the new action suppress-tag{} which can be used to prevent a tagger from adding a tag. Patch
+ submitted by Maxim Antonov. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added FEATURE_EXTENDED_STATISTICS to gather statistics for block reasons and filter executions. To
- enable it, configure with --enable-extended-statistics and visit http://config.privoxy.org/show-status.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates. This can happen if Privoxy was
+ previously running with an invalid TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Use the IP_FREEBIND socket option, if defined. This allows Privoxy to bind to not-yet assigned IP
- addresses which is useful in failover environments. Patch by Sam Varshavchik.</p>
+ <p>Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Allow to use extended host patterns and vanilla host patterns at the same time by prefixing extended
- host patterns with "PCRE-HOST-PATTERN:". To enable this, configure with --enable-pcre-host-patterns.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page is requested with no tags configured.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added "Cross-origin resource sharing" (CORS) support. This allows to access Privoxy's CGI interface via
- JavaScript from another domain (white-listed with the new cors-allowed-origin directive). Based on a patch
- by Nedzad Hrnjica. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.</p>
+ <p>Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates using redirects. Currently the redirects
+ lead to the FAQ entries but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using redirects makes
+ this more convenient.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add SOCKS5 username/password support. Based on a patch by Sam, improved by Ivan Romanov. Closes
- Patch#141 and solves TODO#105.</p>
+ <p>Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this
+ a fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Bump the maximum number of action and filter files to 100 each. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>The code compiles with older C compilers again.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed handling of filters with "split-large-forms 1" when using the CGI editor. Reported by withoutname
- in #921.</p>
+ <p>The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Better detect a mismatch of connection details when figuring out whether or not a connection can be
- reused.</p>
+ <p>The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball. It's usually out of date when the source
+ tarball is generated for the release.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Don't send a "Connection failure" message instead of the "DNS failure" message. Sponsored by: Robert
- Klemme</p>
+ <p>Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST log all requests. Previously unencrypted requests were only logged with
- LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST when they weren't crunched (in which case they were logged with LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH). This
- was documented behaviour, but logging all requests seems more useful.</p>
+ <p>windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed locking around localtime() and gmtime().</p>
+ <p>windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Removed OS/2 support. We haven't provided OS/2 packages in years, it complicated the code and it
- depended on a fallback snprintf() implementation which is GPLv2 only.</p>
+ <p>Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove the fallback snprintf() implementation Now that OS/2 support is gone we no longer need it.</p>
+ <p>When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images' directory which is no longer used. The
+ images were relocated to the user-manual directory years ago.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed a bunch of format specifiers log messages.</p>
+ <p>Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Added a missing apostrophe in the 'More Privoxy' menu.</p>
+ <p>Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Explicitly prevent use of FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. It makes no
- sense and does not compile anyway. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fix build without FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Downgrade the 'Graceful termination requested' message to LOG_LEVEL_INFO as it isn't an error. Sponsored
- by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Improved a couple of error messages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>decompress_iob(): Downgrade the no-content message to LOG_LEVEL_RE_FILTER While at it, fix a typo in a
- comment. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a key already exists.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Fixed a couple of cppcheck warnings.</p>
+ <p>The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are enabled at the same time.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Rename LOG_LEVEL_GPC to LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. Only the shadow knows what "GPC" is supposed to stand
- for.</p>
+ <p>Log a message right before exiting gracefully.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove SourceForge references in copyright headers.</p>
+ <p>A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly less memory.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Upgrade a bunch of links to the homepage to https://.</p>
+ <p>When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid the error message is now sent with
+ status code 403 instead of 200.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add 'no-brotli-accepted' filter which prevents the use of Brotli compression.</p>
+ <p>The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when
+ building Debian packages.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Changed license for pcrs to GPLv2+ after getting the permission from Andreas. This allows to
- redistribute Privoxy under the GPLv3 which is required when linking to future mbedTLS versions which are
- expected to be licensed under the Apache 2.0 license only.</p>
+ <p>When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used instead of mbedtls_md5() which is
+ deprecated and causes a warning on Debian GNU/Linux.</p>
</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <ul>
<li>
- <p>Updated a bunch of tests that have to expect status code 403 now after r1.168/070e904afa5.</p>
+ <p>Block requests to eu-tlp03.kameleoon.com/.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Lowercase the host name in the request line.</p>
+ <p>Unblock metrics.sr.ht/.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Only set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it's not already set so distributions can overwrite it through the
- environment.</p>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .fsf.org/.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Disable fast-redirects for .gravater.com/.</p>

</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Documentation changes:</p>
+ <p>Filter file improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Explain that Privoxy has to be distributed under the GPLv3 (or later) when linked with an MbedTLS
- version that is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.</p>
+ <p>A allow-autocompletion filter has been added which changes autocomplete="off" to "on" on input fields to
+ allow autocompletion. Requested by Jamie Zawinski in #370. Filter based on a submission by Aaron
+ Linville.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Import the GNU GPLv3 and include it the user manual.</p>
+ <p>Added an imdb filter.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Clarify FEATURE_FORCE_LOAD's description. It allows to bypass blocking not filtering and only does it if
- blocks aren't enforced. Reported by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Added a sourceforge filter that reduces the amount of ads for proprietary software.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>FAQ: Remove Zwiebelfreunde e.V. from the list of fiduciary sponsors As of 2021 they no longer handle
- donations for foreign organisations due to lack of resources.</p>
+ <p>Added a github filter that removes the annoying "Sign-Up" banner and the Cookie disclaimer.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>FAQ: Remove an obsolete comment with a link to the long-gone PDF manual.</p>
+ <p>Removed a duplicated pcrs command from the js-annoyances filter.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>FAQ: Add a link to the TODO list.</p>
+ <p>The crude-parental filter now provides a short reason when blocking, inserts a link to Privoxy's
+ webinterface and adds a new line at the end of the generated page.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Highlight a few more messages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a handler for tagging messages.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches Previously the error description was highlighted as
+ 'host'.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully and note that the statistics will be imprecise.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fixed perldoc typo.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bump version to 0.9.2.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Privoxy-Regression-Test:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address unless http_proxy is set through the
+ environment.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>FAQ: Change the sponsor amounts to USD slightly rounding the converted amounts up to get simple numbers.
- Receiving USD is apparently easier for SPI and SPI is preferred by sponsors as they can send invoices.</p>
+ <p>Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix to use when building URLs that are supposed
+ to reach Privoxy's CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is supposed to work with the
+ default Privoxy configuration. If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled, and if
+ https inspection is activated with the +https-inspection action, this option can be used with
+ "https://p.p/" provided the system running Privoxy-Regression-Test has been configured to trust the
+ certificate used by Privoxy. Note that there are currently two tests in the official
+ regression-tests.action file that are expected to fail when using "https://p.p/" as privoxy-cgi-prefix.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Advertise the client-tags CGI page in the user manual.</p>
+ <p>Skip the connection-established response in get_status_code() when looking for the status code with a
+ CGI prefix that starts with https://. We care about the status code sent by the impersonated web
+ server.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Stop advertising the show-version CGI page which no longer exists.</p>
+ <p>Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https:// and a "Host:" header.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add yet another reason why +prevent-compression may cause problems.</p>
+ <p>Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like
+ "TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$".</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Don't claim that contributors need ssh. It's only needed for committers.</p>
+ <p>When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the requested page in the log message.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Replace obsolete CVS instructions with Git instructions.</p>
+ <p>Added a --check-bad-ssl option that can be used to verify that Privoxy detects certificate problems when
+ accessing the test sites from badssl.com.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Remove an obsolete comment</p>
+ <p>Bumped version to 0.7.2</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Config file changes:</p>
+ <p>uagen:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Change the suggested default-server-timeout to 5 to match the suggested keep-alive-timeout. Otherwise
- using the defaults would result in Privoxy reducing the default-server-timeout and logging an error
- message. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Update example output.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Update the 'debug 1' description.</p>
+ <p>Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Add a missing 'client-specific-tag' directive.</p>
+ <p>Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Comment out trusted-cgi-referer pointing to example.org.</p>
+ <p>Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR).</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Bumped version to 1.2.2.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Action file improvements:</p>
+ <p>User documentation:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Block requests to /(.*/)?piwik\.php</p>
+ <p>Remove reference to 'How to Report Bugs Effectively'. It was only rendered as text without URL in the
+ README anyway and there's no indication that users read it ...</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the dok-readme target fix the location embedded into the README file. This used to be done by CVS
+ but since the git migration it has to be done through other means.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove 'experimental' warning for client-specific-tag-related directives. They seem to work reliably and
+ there is no obvious reason why we would change the syntax in the near future.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation that explains how the user can create the file
+ herself.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Don't explicitly mention the license for the code coming from 'Anonymous Coders' and Junkbusters. It's
+ obviously licensed under the GNU GPL like the rest of Privoxy or we wouldn't be allowed to distribute
+ it.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Explicitly mention Windows 10 as supported so search engines and users looking for it can find it.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html.</p>

<li>
- <p>Privoxy-Log-Parser:</p>
+ <p>Developer manual:</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <p>Added a --keep-date option to keep the date in highlighted messages.</p>
+ <p>Flesh out the build instructions for Debian.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Highlight new log messages.</p>
+ <p>Remove the packaging instructions for RPM-based systems. They don't work and we don't release RPM
+ packages anymore anyway.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Make gather_loglevel_clf_stats() more tolerant. While at it, count all CLF messages as requests, even if
- the request is invalid.</p>
+ <p>Remove the packaging instructions for Solaris. They don't work and we don't release Solaris packages
+ anymore anyway.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Only show HTTP version distribution if at least one version has been detected.</p>
+ <p>Update the suggested subject for the announce mails.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Only show crunch statistics if crunches were detected.</p>
+ <p>Update upload instructions. ftp://upload.sourceforge.net is no longer functional.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Warn if the request counts differ.</p>
+ <p>Remove a couple of package-dependent upload instructions that don't actually work.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Generate statistics if the log only contains LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages so it can be used with vanilla
- webserver logs. Previously Privoxy-specific "Request:" messages were required.</p>
+ <p>Remove 'cd current' that no longer works.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Align the client-HTTP-version distribution like other distributions</p>
+ <p>Add regression-tests.action to the list of files that should be installed.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Bump version to 0.9.1</p>
+ <p>Stop claiming that there are text versions of the manuals. We stopped building them in 2008
+ (9ed36a3c5e6f12).</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Include status code distribution in the stats.</p>
+ <p>Note that the 'webserver' target creates the link needed for the user-manual.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Let the statistics include the size of the content Privoxy transferred excluding HTTP headers.</p>
+ <p>Suggest to use the master branch as reference when creating the ChangeLog so the steps work when the
+ current branch differs from master which is likely as the developer manual suggests to use a local branch
+ for development.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Get with the program and expect all requests to be logged with LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. It's no longer
- necessary to count both LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST and LOG_LEVEL_CRUNCH messages to get the total number of
- requests.</p>
+ <p>Add the -s flag to the suggested 'git tag' command. We prefer signed tags.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Leverage the LOG_LEVEL_CLF message to gather statistics that where previously taken from
- LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines. This results in less confusing results if https inspection is enabled in which case
- there are two LOG_LEVEL_HEADER lines with request lines. Sponsored by: Robert Klemme</p>
+ <p>Mention that merges into 'master' should be avoided.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Properly highlight the filter results message. Previously a brace got lost.</p>
+ <p>Add git commands that should result in a merge-free history.</p>
</li>
<li>
- <p>Prefer the number of CLF lines to get the total number of requests as it works with older Privoxy
- versions as well.</p>
+ <p>Mention Privoxy-Regression-Test.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add a section id to reduce link churn.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Recommend the dok-tidy target when building docs for the webserver.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add another plug for the privoxy-devel mailing list.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Let the intro link the copyright section in the user manual instead of giving an incomplete summary of
+ the license status.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Clarify that the webserver target uploads to the SourceForge webserver.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Mark the documentation for the Mac OS X installers as out of date and change the SCM name back to
+ CVS.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Fix the location of the installer modules for Mac OS X. They are not actually available through git
+ (yet).</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Don't speak of Privoxy version 3 in the past tense.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update the list of programs required for the release process.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Update description of the webserver target which uses ssh, not scp.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Remove obsolete reference to config.new.</p>
