We, of course, welcome donations and could use money for domain registering, - buying software to test Privoxy with, and, of course, - for regular world-wide get-togethers (hahaha). If you enjoy the software and feel - like helping us with a donation, just drop us a note - and get your name on the list of contributors.

is developed by unpaid volunteers + and thus our current running costs are pretty low. Nevertheless, we + have plans that will cost money in the future. We would like to get + this money through donations made by our users.

If you are a vendor of a web-related software like a browser, web server - or proxy, and would like us to ensure that Privoxy has therefore become an associated + project of Software in the Public + Interest, which allows us to receive tax-deductible donations + in most western countries. Before donating you should probably read on, + though, to learn what we want your money for.

First of all we intend to transfer our domain to SPI to make sure + there's no single point of failure and the bill gets paid and the + site keeps running even if a some of the currently active developers + were to suddenly disappear for a while.

We would also like to spend some money on more reliable hosting, + on hardware to help make sure Privoxy - runs smoothly with your product, you might consider supplying us with a - copy or license. We can't, however, guarantee that we will fix all potential - compatibility issues as a result.

If you enjoy our software and feel like helping out with a donation, + please have a look at + SPI's donation page + to see what the options are. Small donations help too.

    3. What's New in this Release

    There are only a few improvements and new features since - Privoxy 3.0.10, the last stable release:

    Privoxy 3.0.12 is mainly a bugfix release:

    • On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and - reused if the server supports it. Whether or not this improves - things depends on the connection. +> The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose + select() implementation modifies the timeout structure. + Previously the timeout was triggered even if the connection + didn't stall. Reported by cyberpatrol.

    • When dropping privileges, membership in supplementary groups - is given up as well. Not doing that can lead to Privoxy running - with more rights than necessary and violates the principle of - least privilege. Users of the --user option are advised to update. - Thanks to Matthias Drochner for reporting the problem, - providing the initial patch and testing the final version. +> The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files + larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too + early.

    • Passing invalid users or groups with the --user option - didn't lead to program exit. Regression introduced in 3.0.7. +> The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.

    • The match all section has been moved from default.action - to a new file called match-all.action. As a result the - default.action no longer needs to be touched by the user - and can be safely overwritten by updates. +> The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to + the documentation location specified with the directive, + not to the Privoxy website.

    • The standard.action file has been removed. Its content - is now part of the default.action file. +> When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything + to the console unless there are errors before the logfile + has been opened.

    • In some situations the logged content length was slightly too low. +> The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives + on the same line as the directives themselves.

    • Crunched requests are logged with their own log level. - If you used "debug 1" in the past, you'll probably want - to additionally enable "debug 1024", otherwise only passed - requests will be logged. If you only care about crunched - requests, simply replace "debug 1" with "debug 1024". +> Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings, + mostly on 64 bit platforms.

    • The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the - crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well. +> The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset + to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more + recent Windows versions. Patch by Burberry.

    • Log messages are shortened by printing the thread id on its - own (as opposed to putting it inside the string "Privoxy()"). +> The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab + windows. Patch by Burberry.

    • The config option socket-timeout has been added to control - the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket. +> The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error" + message box on mingw32.

    • Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure - option --disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also - depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the - --disable-editor option would disable remote toggling support - as well. +> Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering + them required control over the configuration file, therefore + this isn't seen as a security issue.

    • Requests with invalid HTTP versions are rejected. -

    • The template symbol @date@ can be used to include a date(1)-like - time string. Initial patch submitted by Endre Szabo. -

    • Responses from shoutcast servers are accepted again. - Problem reported and fix suggested by Stefan. -

    • The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with - the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to - add X-Forwarded-For headers. The latter functionality already - existed in Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.7 but has been removed - as it was often used unintentionally (by not using the - hide-forwarded-for-headers action). -

    • A "clear log" view option was added to the mingw32 version - to clear out all of the lines in the Privoxy log window. - Based on a patch submitted by T Ford. -

    • The mingw32 version uses "critical sections" now, which prevents - log message corruption under load. As a side effect, the - "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well. -

    • The mingw32 version's task bar icon is crossed out and - the color changed to gray if Privoxy is toggled off. +> In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests + is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the + skip reason.

    This release marks a departure for Privoxy development.

    Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and - were only released at the end of the development cycle when the code - was already believed to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release - contained pretty much the same code, but got a higher version number. - In the future we intend to release several snapshots between stable releases. - There will probably still be about two stable releases per year, - but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the two betas we have now. - The intentions is to make testing without CVS access easier.
