When building from a source tarball, first unpack the source:
- tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.28-stable-src.tar.gz
- cd privoxy-3.0.28-stable
+ tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.29-beta-src.tar.gz
+ cd privoxy-3.0.29-beta
To build the development version, you can get the source code by doing:

-This README is included with Privoxy 3.0.28. See https://www.privoxy.org/ for
-more information. The current code maturity level is "stable".
+This README is included with the development version of Privoxy 3.0.29. See

5. DOCUMENTATION
-There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory. In particular, see the
-User Manual there, the FAQ, and those interested in Privoxy development, should
-look at developer-manual.
+There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory, but it may not be

-The source and configuration files are all well commented. The main
-configuration files are: 'config', 'default.action', and 'default.filter'.
+The most up to date source of information on the current development version,

<p>For Unix, *BSD and GNU/Linux, all configuration files are located in <tt class="FILENAME">/etc/privoxy/</tt>
by default. For MS Windows and OS/2 these are all in the same directory as the <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> executable.</p>
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> executable. The name and number of configuration files has changed from previous
+ versions, and is subject to change as development progresses.</p>
<p>The installed defaults provide a reasonable starting point, though some settings may be aggressive by some
standards. For the time being, the principle configuration files are:</p>
<ul>
listening address of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, these <span class="QUOTE">"wake up"</span>
requests must obviously be sent to the <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">old</i></span> listening
address.</p>
+ <p>While under development, the configuration content is subject to change. The below documentation may not be
+ accurate by the time you read this. Also, what constitutes a <span class="QUOTE">"default"</span> setting, may
+ change, so please check all your configuration files on important issues.</p>
