It mainly contains +bugfixes for the previous betas which introduced IPv6 support, +improved keep-alive support and a bunch of minor improvements. See http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.15/user-manual/whatsnew.html for details. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog for Privoxy -------------------------------------------------------------------- +*** Version 3.0.16 stable *** + +- Added the config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok to + work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes Firefox to hang + if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations. The option is + enabled in the default config file. +- Added the config file option default-server-timeout to control the + assumed default server timeout. Since Privoxy no longer returns + an error message for connection resets on reused client connections, + assuming larger server timeout values appears to actually work + pretty well as long as connections aren't shared. +- Added optional support for FreeBSD's accf_http(9). Use the + configure option --enable-accept-filter to enable it. +- Added fancier Privoxy icons for win32. Contributed by Jeff H. +- In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null. +- Resolve localhost using whatever address family the operating + system feels like. Previous betas would try to use IPv4 as this + is what most users expect, but this didn't work reliably on + GNU/Linux systems. +- In the action lists on CGI pages, actions and their parameters are + no longer separated with a space. The action file parser doesn't + actually allow this and will throw an invalid syntax error if actions + and parameters in the action files are separated. Not adding the + spaces means copy and pasting CGI output into the action files works. +- The default keep-alive timeout has been reduced to 5 seconds to work + around hangs in clients that treat the proxy like any other host and + stop allowing any new connections if the "maximum number of + connections per host" is reached. +- Several webbug URLs that look like they are leading to images are now + blocked as image instead of empty documents. Doing the latter causes + WebKit-based clients to show a "missing image" icon which may mess up + the layout. +- The no-such-domain template is used for DNS resolution + problems with FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT enabled. Previously the + connect-failed template was used. Reported by 'zebul666'. +- Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2 + doesn't seem to allow them. Reported anonymously. +- Don't try to forget connections if connection sharing is disabled. + This wasn't a real problem but caused an unnecessary log message. +- The still undocumented --enable-extended-host-patterns configure + option has a better description. +- Fixed an error message that would claim a write to the server + failed when actually writing to the client failed. +- Log the crunch reason before trying to write to the client. + The log is easier to read that way. +- Several log messages about client connections also mention + the socket number. +- handle-as-empty-document no longer depends on the image blocking + code being enabled. +- Privoxy-Log-Parser is roughly 40% faster in highlighting mode. +- uagen, a Firefox User-Agent generator for Privoxy and Mozilla + browsers has been imported and is available in the tarball's + tools directory. +- The scripts in the tools directory treat unknown parameters + as fatal errors. + *** Version 3.0.15 beta *** - In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the @@ -91,7 +147,7 @@ ChangeLog for Privoxy - The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching for groups and id. -*** Version 3.0.13 beta *** +*** Version 3.0.13 beta *** - Added IPv6 support.
