1 --------------------------------------------------------------------
3 --------------------------------------------------------------------
6 - Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
7 option --disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also
8 depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the
9 --disable-editor option would disable remote toggling support
12 *** Version 3.0.10 ***
14 - Ordinary configuration file changes no longer cause program
15 termination on OS/2 if the name of the logfile hasn't been
16 changed as well. This regression probably crept in with the
17 logging improvements in 3.0.7. Reported by Maynard.
18 - The img-reorder filter is less likely to mess up JavaScript code in
19 img tags. Problem and solution reported by Glenn Washburn in #2014552.
20 - The source tar ball now includes Privoxy-Log-Parser,
21 a syntax-highlighter for Privoxy logs. For fancy screenshots see:
22 http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy-log-parser/
23 Documentation is available through perldoc(1).
25 *** Version 3.0.9 Beta ***
27 - Added SOCKS5 support (with address resolution done by
28 the SOCKS5 server). Patch provided by Eric M. Hopper.
29 - The "blocked" CGI pages include a block reason that was
30 provided as argument to the last-applying block action.
31 - If enable-edit-actions is disabled (the default since 3.0.7 beta)
32 the show-status page hides the edit buttons and explains why.
33 Previously the user would get the "this feature has been disabled"
34 message after using the edit button.
35 - Forbidden CONNECT requests are treated like blocks by default.
36 The now-pointless treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks action
38 - Not enabling limit-connect now allows CONNECT requests to all ports.
39 In previous versions it would only allow CONNECT requests to port 443.
40 Use +limit-connect{443} if you think you need the old default behaviour.
41 - The CGI editor gets turned off after three edit requests with invalid
42 file modification timestamps. This makes life harder for attackers
43 who can leverage browser bugs to send fake Referers and intend to
44 brute-force edit URLs.
45 - Action settings for multiple patterns in the same section are
46 shared in memory. As a result these sections take up less space
47 (and are loaded slightly faster). Problem reported by Franz Schwartau.
48 - Linear white space in HTTP headers will be normalized to single
49 spaces before parsing the header's content, headers split across
50 multiple lines get merged first. This should prevent problems like:
51 * letting the session-cookies-only action slip
52 some Cookies through unmodified,
53 * only suppressing the first line of a header,
54 thus creating an invalid one, and
55 * to incorrectly block headers with valid timestamps
56 that weren't properly recognized.
57 Headers that could trigger these problems are unlikely to appear
58 in "normal" web traffic, but could be intentionally generated to
59 fool some of Privoxy's header parsers.
60 - Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less
61 likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured.
62 - New config option "hostname" to use a hostname other than
63 the one returned by the operating system. Useful to speed-up responses
64 for CGI requests on misconfigured systems. Requested by Max Khon.
65 - The CGI editor supports the "disable all filters of this type"
66 directives "-client-header-filter", "-server-header-filter",
67 "-client-header-tagger" and "-server-header-tagger".
68 - Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that
69 contain the pattern "/jump/".
70 - The less-download-windows filter no longer messes
71 "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up.
72 - In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and
73 inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee.
74 - The GNUmakefile supports the DESTDIR variable. Patch for
75 the install target submitted by Radoslaw Zielinski.
76 - Embedding the content of configuration files in the show-status
77 page is significantly faster now. For a largish action file (1 MB)
78 a speedup of about 2450 times has been measured. This is mostly
79 interesting if you are using large action files or regularly use
80 Privoxy-Regression-Test while running Privoxy through Valgrind,
81 for stock configuration files it doesn't really matter.
82 - If zlib support is unavailable and there are content
83 filters active but the prevent-compression action is disabled,
84 the show-url-info page includes a warning that compression
85 might prevent filtering.
86 - The show-url-info page provides an OpenSearch Description that
87 allows to access the page through browser search plugins.
88 - Custom client-header filters that rewrite the request line
89 incorrectly no longer cause Privoxy to crash. Reported by din_a4.
90 - The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the
91 PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are slightly
93 - The inspect-jpegs action has been removed.
94 - The send-wafer and send-vanilla-wafer actions have been removed.
95 They weren't particular useful and their behaviour could be emulated
96 with add-header anyway.
97 - Privoxy-Regression-Test has been significantly improved.
98 - Most sections in the default.action file contain tests for
99 Privoxy-Regression-Test to verify that they are working as intended.
100 - Parts of Privoxy have been refactored to increase maintainability.
101 - Building with zlib (if available) is done by default.
103 *** Version 3.0.8 ***
105 - Fixed a small memory leak when listen-address only specifies the port.
106 - The source tar balls now include Privoxy-Regression-Test which
107 (upon other things) can be used to automatically detect some
108 packaging problems. Packagers are welcome to give it a try.
109 - Reverted a change in 3.0.7 that caused path patterns to be checked
110 even if the host pattern match already failed. While this doesn't
111 noticeable affect the performance, it makes it less likely to run
112 out of stack space with overly-complex path patterns the user might
114 - Updated the msn, yahoo and google filters to work as advertised again.
115 - The warning message shown by the show-status CGI page is easier to
116 understand. Previously it wasn't clear that the error message
117 is shown below the invalid directive. (Reported by Lee)
118 - When regenerating Content-Disposition headers the more common
119 spelling is used for the name. Previously it was written without caps.
120 - Less confusing log message if the content type isn't overwritten
121 because force-text-type wasn't used but the old type doesn't look
122 like content that would be filtered normally.
123 - Better log messages if the user tries to execute filters that
125 - Treat the non-standard Request-Range headers like standard range
126 headers and suppress them if content filtering is enabled.
127 - Prevent the log messages for CONNECT requests to unacceptable
128 ports from printing the limit-connect argument as [null] if
129 limit-connect hasn't been explicitly enabled.
130 - Don't disable the mingw32 log window if the logfile directive
131 isn't used. While it was an intentional change in 3.0.7 at least
132 one user perceived it as a regression and the same effect can
133 be achieved by disabling all debug directives.
134 - Fixed two minor problems related to the win32 build process: a css
135 file was not being in the installer and the trustfile comment in the
136 config.txt referenced a nonexisting file
137 - Minor documentation fixes.
139 *** Version 3.0.7 Beta ***
141 - Added zlib support to filter content with gzip and deflate
142 encoding. (Patch provided by Wil Mahan)
143 - Dedicated filters and actions are used for header filtering.
144 "filter-client-headers" and "filter-client-headers" are no longer
145 supported, use server-header-filter{} and client-header-filter{}
147 - Tags can be used to change actions based on HTTP headers.
148 - New server-header filter: less-download-windows.
149 - New client-header taggers: css-requests, image-requests,
150 client-ip-address, http-method, allow-post, complete-url,
151 user-agent and privoxy-control.
152 - New server-header taggers: content-type and privoxy-control.
153 - The forward-override{} action allows to change the forwarding
154 settings through the action files, for example based on client
155 headers like the User-Agent, or the request origin.
156 - Socks errors are no longer handled by the CGI page for
157 DNS resolution failures.
158 - CGI pages use favicons to signal whether they are error
159 or control pages. This is useful if you rely heavily on
161 - The show-url-info CGI page shows the forwarding settings.
162 - "Crunch!" log messages (used when Privoxy answers requests
163 by itself) now also contain the reason.
164 - Allow to rewrite the request destination behind the client's back.
165 - Fix socks requests on big-endian platforms. Patch provided by Song Weijia.
166 - Fixes possible deadlocks and crashes on OpenBSD.
167 Patch provided by Ralf Horstmann.
168 - The CGI action editor allows to edit actionfiles with previously
169 forbidden characters like dots.
170 - New trust entries are saved with a comment that contains the
171 trusted referring URL (Suggested by Daniel Griscom).
172 - Filter descriptions are HTML encoded automatically.
173 - New config option "split-large-forms" to work
174 around a browser bug that caused IE6 and IE7 to ignore
175 the Submit button on the edit-actions-for-url CGI page.
176 - New config option "allow-cgi-request-crunching" to allow
177 requests for Privoxy's CGI pages to be blocked, redirected
178 or (un)trusted like ordinary requests.
179 - Empty filter files no longer interrupt the filtering process
180 prematurely and are correctly listed on the show-status CGI page.
181 - New config option "accept-intercepted-requests" to combine
182 Privoxy with any packet filter to build an intercepting proxy
183 for HTTP/1.1 requests (and for HTTP/1.0 requests with Host header set).
184 - fast-redirects{} catch redirects to https URLs as well.
185 - redirect{s@foo@bar@} can be used to redirect to a rewritten
186 version of the original URL.
187 - Trap unsupported gopher proxy requests.
188 - Fixed a bug in the User Manual delivery on Windows
189 (mingw32 only). Images now show up correctly and HTML
190 pages are no longer padded with garbage data.
191 - Fixed several minor memory leaks, most of them discovered with Valgrind.
192 - Only unlink the pidfile if it's actually used.
193 - Retries after connection problems with forced requests
194 aren't blocked again.
195 - On Unix SIGABRT causes a core dump as expected and is no
196 longer treated as normal shutdown signal.
197 - The "access denied" CGI page is more descriptive and
198 allows retries to circumvent the referrer check.
199 - Updated PCRS to handle unexpected PCRE errors properly.
200 Fixed crashes that could occur if Privoxy was build
201 with external PCRE versions newer than Privoxy's internal
202 one. (Reported by Chung-chieh Shan)
203 - Fixed crashes with null bytes in PCRS replacement strings
204 (Patch provided by Felix Gröbert).
205 - Fixed crashes with header time randomization on mingw32.
206 - The CGI style sheet is no longer delivered if the referring
207 page isn't a Privoxy CGI page. This prevents a JavaScript-based
208 Privoxy detection "attack". Note that detecting Privoxy is
209 still possible through other ways and Privoxy was never intended
210 to be invisible anyway.
211 - Added support for AmigaOS 4, fixed build for AmigaOS 3.x.
212 - The show-url-info CGI page displays a warning if Privoxy
213 is currently toggled off.
214 - The show-status CGI page suppresses the edit button
215 for action files if Privoxy has no write access.
216 - Most CGI error pages react properly to HEAD requests.
217 - Requests with RFC 3253 HTTP methods (used by Subversion)
218 are accepted. (Patch provided by Petr Kadlec)
219 - New config option "templdir" to change the location
220 of the CGI templates to make sure customized templates
222 - Better handling of "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" responses.
223 - The background of the PNG pattern is transparent.
224 - Fixed XML syntax errors caused by banners-by-size and banners-by-url.
225 - Fixed crashes and possible action file corruptions
226 when lines containing hashes are written through the CGI editor.
227 - Supports dynamic filters which can contain variables.
228 - Supports tags to change the actions based on client or server headers.
229 - Incorrect actions are logged before program termination.
230 - The "actionsfile" syntax in the configuration file is consistent
231 with the rest of the configuration options and requires the
232 whole file name. This is an incompatible change, if you use
233 an old configuration file you might have to append ".action"
234 to your "actionsfile" directives.
235 - With the configuration file option "enforce-blocks" the
236 "go there anyway" mechanism can be disabled without recompiling
238 - More precise error messages in case of incorrect acl syntax.
239 - Logs a warning if filtering is enabled but impossible due
240 to lack of zlib support or use of the prevent-compression action.
241 - Less noisy handling of Cookie:" and "Connection:" headers.
242 - Improved error messages in case of connection problems.
243 - Fix a command-line-parsing bug that was introduced before 3.0.5
244 beta and caused Privoxy to treat the last argument as configuration
245 file if no configuration file was specified.
246 - Treat unknown command line options as fatal errors instead
247 of silently ignoring them.
248 - Use string functions with length checks more often.
249 - Don't log CONNECT requests twice.
250 - Allow to log the source address for ACL-related connection drops.
251 - Don't ignore applying filters if the server didn't
252 specify a Content-Type. Bug reported by Amuro Namie.
253 - Rejected CONNECT requests are logged with log level info
254 (enabled by default) and the reason for the block.
255 - New command line option "--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname" to
256 intialize the resolver library before chroot'ing. On some systems this
257 reduces the number of files that must be copied into the chroot tree.
258 (Patch provided by Stephen Gildea)
259 - Fix a long-standing memory corruption bug that could cause
260 Privoxy to overwrite a single byte in memory it didn't explicitly
261 allocate (but that probably was allocated anyway due to bucket size).
262 - Send template-based CGI pages as HTTP/1.1 unless the client
264 - Let the first line in connection established responses
265 end in \r\n as required by RFC1945. Reported by Bert van Leeuwen.
266 - If no log file has been specified, disable logging instead of logging
268 - Don't block stderr when in daemon mode.
269 - Ignore missing zero-chunks when filtering chunk-encoded content.
270 Earlier Privoxy versions would buffer and then forward the content
271 unmodified which caused some browsers to simply show empty pages.
272 - Fix double free in cgi_edit_actions_list(). Reported by Venustech AD-LAB.
273 - The code to add X-Forwarded-For headers when the hide-forwarded-for-headers
274 action isn't being used has been removed.
275 - Fixed trustfile feature which previously didn't work without FEATURE_TOGGLE.
277 - Minor code clean-ups, filter and action file updates.
278 (Some of them reported by Davide Alberani, Markus Elfring,
279 Stefan Huehner and Adam Piggott)
281 *** Version 3.0.6 ***
283 - New content filters: no-ping, google, msn, yahoo and blogspot.
284 - New header filters: x-httpd-php-to-html, html-to-xml, xml-to-html
285 and hide-tor-exit-notation.
286 - The special header "X-Filter: No" now disables header filtering as well.
287 - Improved the filters img-reorder, js-annoyances, webbugs,
288 banners-by-size, banners-by-link and ie-exploits to make them
289 less likely to break anything.
290 - Removed outdated URL patterns in default.action and added new ones.
291 - Added redirection from http://p.p/user-manual to http://p.p/user-manual/
292 - Changed webinterface default values for hide-user-agent, hide-referrer
293 and set-image-blocker.
295 *** Version 3.0.5 Beta ***
297 - Windows version can be installed/started as a service.
298 - Windows icon stays blue when Privoxy is idle, green when busy.
299 - Integrated Fabian Keil's extensive patch. See:
300 http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy/. Includes the
301 following new or significantly improved actions (among many
304 content-type-overwrite{}
305 crunch-client-header{string}
307 crunch-server-header{string}
308 fast-redirects{check-decoded-url}
309 filter-client-headers
310 filter-server-headers
312 handle-as-empty-document
313 hide-accept-language{}
314 hide-content-disposition{}
315 hide-if-modified-since
316 hide-referrer{conditional-block}
317 overwrite-last-modified{}
319 treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks
321 - Standard-compliant clients are prevented from displaying cached
322 copies of Privoxy's error messages after the cause of the problem
324 - Improved DNS error handling.
325 - Multiple filter files can now be specified in config.
326 - Added jpeg filtering to defend against MS jpeg vulnerability MS04-028
327 with the new inspect-jpegs action.
328 - Removed the "arbitrary" 1000 filter limit - addresses tracker #911950
329 - Thanks to Jindrich Makovicka for a race condition fix for the log
330 file. The race condition remains for non-pthread implementations.
331 Reference patch #1175720. Various other logging enhancements.
332 - A pile of assorted bug fixes, memory leaks, enhancements, etc.
333 - Moved Actions file reporting mechanism to SF tracker.

335 forwarded-connect-retries.
336 - Trap unsupported FTP requests.
337 - Let text/xml be filtered.
338 - Numerous updates to default.action
339 - Increase the compiled in limit of trusted referrers from 64 to 512
340 (for trustfile users).
342 *** Version 3.0.3 ***
344 - Fixed yet another two memory leaks. Process growth seems stopped now.
345 - Further tightened security against malicious toggle-off links.
346 - Excluded text/plain MIME types from filtering. This fixes a
347 couple of client-crashing, download corruption and
348 Privoxy performance issues, whose root cause lies in
349 web servers labelling content of unknown type as text/plain.
350 - Assorted fixes for POSIX compliance, signal handling, graceful
351 termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
352 error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.
353 - Workarounds for client (iTunes etc) and server (PHP < 4.2.3) bugs
354 including the notorious "blank page" problem.
355 - Various filter improvements; most notably the unsolicited-popups
356 filter became less destructive

370 img-reorder, banners-by-size, banners-by-link, webbugs, refresh-tags,
371 html-annoyances, content-cookies and fun filters
372 - Replaced filter "popups" by choice between two modes:
373 - "unsolicited-popups" tries to catch only the unsolicited ones
374 - "all-popups" tries to kill them all (as before)
375 - New filter "tiny-textforms" Help those tiny or hard-wrap textareas.
376 - New filter "jumping-windows" that prevents windows from resizing
377 and moving themselves
378 - New filter "demoronizer" which fixes MS's abuse of std charsets
379 (common cases anyway).
380 - Replaced "nimda" with more general "ie-exploits" filter in which
381 all filters for exploits shall be collected
382 - Improved cookie logging
383 - Rewrote make install target. Added uninstall and install-strip
385 - Fixed a potential (application-level, NOT OS-level!) security
386 problem involving remote toggling and action file manipulation
387 by mailicious websites.
388 - Added ability to chroot (thanks to Sviatoslav Sviridov)
389 - Added more action aliases for prehistoric action names
390 - Add Slackware support to Makefile.
394 - Fixed Windows startmenu items, log window and tray icon menus.
395 - Added warning for bogus install target
396 - Added quicktime-kioskmode filter and improved frameset-borders
397 - Updated default.action based on latest feedback
398 - New PDF doc build process
399 - Add a user contrib module to cvs:

520 - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
521 - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
522 the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
524 - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
525 (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
526 - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
527 Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
528 - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
529 FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
530 - Most URLs hardcoded into Junkbuster were changed to go through a script
531 e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
532 The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
533 http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
535 http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
536 ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by Junkbuster anyway.
537 TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in Junkbuster Corp's
538 copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
539 - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
542 *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
544 - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
547 *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
549 - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
550 (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
551 data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
552 - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
553 is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
554 make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
555 also has a higher name collision risk.
556 - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
557 parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
559 - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
560 that Stefan had placed there.
561 - Improved the re_filterfile
564 *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
566 - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
567 syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
568 is expected - however they seem to work.
569 - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
570 use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
571 the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
572 "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
573 need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
574 To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
575 This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
576 (how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
577 - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
578 one from JunkbusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
579 - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
580 apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
581 popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
582 - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
583 - New source file headers.
584 - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
585 config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
587 - RCS tags on .h files.
588 - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
590 - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
591 - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
592 - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
593 sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
594 has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
595 connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
596 config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
597 moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
598 And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
599 which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
600 (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
601 - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
602 and this function also stores the proxy_args.
603 - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
604 - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
605 - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
606 being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
607 - Version number changes to 2.9.0
