ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Version 3.0.33 UNRELEASED ***
+*** Version 3.0.33 stable ***
- Bug fixes:
- handle_established_connection(): Skip the poll()/select() calls
how to route the request afterwards. This allows to change the
forwarding settings based on information from the https-inspected
request, for example the path.
- Adjust build_request_line() to create a CONNECT request line when
+ - Adjust build_request_line() to create a CONNECT request line when
https-inspecting and forwarding to a HTTP proxy.
Fixes SF bug #925 reported by Wen Yue.
- load_config(): Add a space that was missing in a log message.
- handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message
- create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation
- Fix comment typos
+ - Add a CGI handler for /wpad.dat that returns a
+ Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file.
+ Among other things, it can be used to instruct clients
+ through DHCP to use Privoxy as proxy.
+ For example with the dnsmasq option:
+ dhcp-option=252,http://config.privoxy.org/wpad.dat
+ Initial patch by Richard Schneidt.
+ - listen_loop(): When shutting down gracefully, close listening ports
+ before waiting for the threads to exit.
+ Allows to start a second Privoxy with the same config file
+ while the first Privoxy is still running.
+ - Allow to edit the add-header action through the CGI editor by
+ generalizing the code that got added with the suppress-tag action.
+ Closes SF patch request #146. Patch by Maxim Antonov.
+ - process_encrypted_request(): Improve a log message
+ The function only processes request headers and there
+ may still be unread request body data left to process.
+ - read_http_request_body(): Fix two error messages that used an incorrect variable.
+ - chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.
+ - parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.
+ - receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message
+ - mbedTLS get_ciphersuites_from_string(): Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy().
+ Previously the terminating NUL wasn't copied which resulted
+ in a compiler warning. This didn't cause actual problems as
+ the target buffer was initialized by zalloc_or_die() so the
+ last byte of the target buffer was NUL already.
+ Actually copying the terminating NUL seems clearer, though.
+ - Remove compiler warnings. "log_error(LOG_LEVEL_FATAL, ..." doesn't return
+ but apparently the compiler doesn't know that.
+ Get rid of several "this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]" warnings.
+ - If the the response is chunk-encoded, ignore the Content-Length
+ header sent by the server.
+ Allows to load https://redmine.lighttpd.net/ with filtering enabled.
+ - Store the PEM certificate in a dynamically allocated buffer
+ when https-inspecting. Should prevent errors like:
+ 2021-03-16 22:36:19.148 7f47bbfff700 Error: X509 PEM cert len 16694 is larger than buffer len 16383
+ As a bonus it should slightly reduce the memory usage as most
+ certificates are smaller than the previously used fixed buffer.
+ Reported by: Wen Yue
+ - Don't log the applied actions in process_encrypted_request()
+ Log them in continue_https_chat() instead to mirror chat().
+ Prevents the applied actions from getting logged twice
+ for the first request on an https-inspected connection.
+ - OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use config.privoxy.org as Common Name
+ Org and Org Unit if the real host name is too long to get accepted by OpenSSL.
+ Clients should only care about the Subject Alternative Name
+ anyway and we can continue to use the real host name for it.
+ Reported by Miles Wen on privoxy-users@.
+ - OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.
+ - Improve description of handle_established_connection()
+ - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.
+ - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.
+ - OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Initialize pointer with NULL instead of 0.
- Action file improvements:
- Disable fast-redirects for .microsoftonline.com/.
- Disable fast-redirects for idp.springer.com/.
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .zeit.de/zustimmung
+ - Unblock adv-archiv.dfn-cert.de/
+ - Block requests to eu-tlp01.kameleoon.eu/
+ - Block requests to fpa-events.arstechnica.com/
+ - Unblock nlnet.nl/.
+ - Unblock adguard.com/.
+
+- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
+ - Highlight 'Socket timeout 3 reached: http://127.0.0.1:20000/no-filter/chunked-content/36'
+ - Improve documentation for inactivity-detection mode
+ - Detect date changes when looking for inactivity
+ - Add a --passed-request-statistics-threshold option
+ That can be set to get statistics for requests that
+ were passed.
+ - Add a "inactivity detection" mode
+ Which can be useful for debugging purposes.
+ - Bump version to 0.9.4
+ - Only run print_intro() and print_outro() when syntax highlighting
+ - Rephrase a sentence in the documentation
+ - Highlight 'Client socket 7 is no longer usable. The server socket has been closed.'
+ - Clarify --statistics output
+ by explicitly mentioning that the status codes
+ sent by the server may differ from the ones in
+ "debug 512" messages.
+ - Fix typo in the --statistics output
+ - Remove an unused variable
+ - Highlight 'The peer notified us that the connection on socket 11 is going to be closed'
- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- Remove duplicated word in a comment.
+- regression-tests.action:
+ - Add fetch test for http://p.p/wpad.dat.
+ - Bump for-privoxy-version to 3.0.33 which introduced the wpad.dat support.
+ - Add more tests for the '/send-banner' code.
+ - Add test for OVE-20210203-0001.
+ - Add a test for CVE-2021-20217.
+
+- uagen:
+ - Bump generated Firefox version to 91 (ESR)
+ - Bump version to 1.2.3
+ - Bump copyright
+
+- Build system:
+ - configure: Bump SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
+ - GNUmakefile.in: Fix typo.
+ - configure: Add another warning in case --disable-pthread is used
+ while POSIX threads are available.
+ Various features don't even compile when not using threads.
+ - Add configure option to enable MemorySanitizer.
+ - Add configure option to enable UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.
+ - Add configure option to enable AddressSanitizer.
+ - Bump copyright
+ - Add a configure option to disable pcre JIT compilation.
+ While JIT compilation makes filtering faster it can
+ cause false-positive valgrind complaints.
+ As reported by Gwyn Ciesla in SF bug 924 it also can
+ cause problems when the SELinux policy does not grant
+ Privoxy "execmem" privileges.
+ - configure: Remove obsolete RPM_BASE check
+
+- Windows build system:
+ - Update the build script to use mbed tls version 2.6.11.
+ - Update build script to use the final 8.45 pcre library.
+ - Put all the '--enable-xxx' options in the configure call together.
+
- Documentation:
- contacting: Remove obsolete reference to announce.sgml.
- contacting: Request that the browser cache is cleared before
filter https responses.
- developer-manual: Mention that announce.txt should be updated
when doing a release.
+ - config: Explicitly mention that the CGI pages disclosing the
+ ca-password can be blocked and upgrade the disclosure paragraphs
+ to a warning.
+ - Put all the requested debug options in the config file.
+ Section 11.1 of the Privoxy user manual lists all the debug
+ options that should be enabled when reporting problems or requesting support.
+ Make it easier for users to do the right thing by having all those
+ options present in the config.
+ - Update TODO list item #184 to note that WolfSSL support will
+ (hopefully) appear after the 3.0.34 release
+ - Update max-client-connections's description.
+ On modern systems other than Windows Privoxy should
+ use poll() in which case the FD_SETSIZE value isn't
+ releveant.
+ - Add a warning that the socket-timeout does not apply
+ to operations done by TLS libraries
+ - Make documentation slightly less "offensive" for some people
+ by avoiding the word "hell".
