May 2016, Privoxy 3.0.25 (beta) OS X installer V1.0 released.

Version Support

This installer supports Macs with Intel 32 bit processors running OS X 10.4 or 10.5.

What's New

This release adds several new features and a few bug-fixes. The significant new features are the reason for beta status, and are:

  - Added support for client-specific tags which allow Privoxy
    admins to pre-define tags that are set for all requests from
    clients that previously opted in through the CGI interface.
    They are useful in multi-user setups where admins may
    want to allow users to disable certain actions and filters
    for themselves without affecting others.
    In single-user setups they are useful to allow more fine-grained
    toggling. For example to disable request blocking while still
    crunching cookies, or to disable experimental filters only.
    This is an experimental feature, the syntax and behaviour may
    change in future versions.

  - Dynamic filters and taggers now support a $listen-address variable
    which contains the address the request came in on.
    For external filters the variable is called $PRIVOXY_LISTEN_ADDRESS.
    Original patch contributed by pursievro.
  - Add client-header-tagger 'listen-address'.
  - Include the listen-address in the log message when logging new requests.
    Patch contributed by pursievro.
  - Turn invalid max-client-connections values into fatal errors.
  - The show-status page now shows whether or not dates before 1970
    and after 2038 are expected to be handled properly.
    This is mainly useful for Privoxy-Regression-Test but could
    also come handy when dealing with time-related support requests.
  - On Mac OS X the thread id in log messages are more likely to
    be unique now.
  - When complaining about missing filters, the filter type is logged
    as well.

One significant bug-fix:

  - Always use the current toggle state for new requests.
    Previously new requests on reused connections inherited
    the toggle state from the previous request even though
    the toggle state could have changed.
