ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Version 3.0.13 Beta ***
+
+- Added IPv6 support. Thanks to Petr Pisar who not only provided
+ the initial patch but also helped a lot with the integration.
+- Added client-side keep-alive support. This should also allow
+ NTLM authentication through Privoxy, but this hasn't been
+ confirmed yet.
+- The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing
+ option is enabled.
+- The max-client-connections option has been added to restrict
+ the number of client connections below a value enforced by
+ the operating system.
+- Fixed a regression reintroduced in 3.0.12 that could cause
+ crashes on mingw32 if header date randomization was enabled.
+- Compressed content with extra fields couldn't be decompressed
+ and would get passed to the client unfiltered. This problem
+ has only be detected through statical analysis with clang as
+ nobody seems to be using extra fields anyway.
+- If the server resets the Connection after sending only the headers
+ Privoxy forwards what it got to the client. Previously Privoxy
+ would deliver an error message instead.
+- Error messages in case of connection timeouts use the right
+ HTTP status code.
+- If spawning a child to handle a request fails, the client
+ gets an error message and Privoxy continues to listen for
+ new requests right away.
+- The error messages in case of server-connection timeouts or
+ prematurely closed server connections are now template-based.
+- If zlib support isn't compiled in, Privoxy no longer tries to
+ filter compressed content unless explicitly asked to do so.
+- In case of connections that are denied based on ACL directives,
+ the memory used for the client IP is no longer leaked.
+- Fixed another small memory leak if the client request times out
+ while waiting for client headers other than the request line.
+- The client socket is kept open until the server socket has
+ been marked as unused. This should increase the chances that
+ the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next
+ request to the same destination. Note that this only matters
+ if connection-sharing is enabled.
+- A TODO list has been added to the source tarballs to give potential
+ volunteers a better idea of what the current goals are. Donations
+ are still welcome too: http://www.privoxy.org/faq/general.html#DONATE
+
+*** Version 3.0.12 ***
+
+- 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.
+- The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
+ larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too
+ early.
+- The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.
+- The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to
+ the documentation location specified with the directive,
+ not to the Privoxy website.
+- When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything
+ to the console unless there are errors before the logfile
+ has been opened.
+- The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives
+ on the same line as the directives themselves.
+- Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings,
+ mostly on 64 bit platforms.
+- The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset
+ to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more
+ recent Windows versions. Patch by Burberry.
+- The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab
+ windows. Patch by Burberry.
+- The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error"
+ message box on mingw32.
+- Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering
+ them required control over the configuration file, therefore
+ this isn't seen as a security issue.
+- In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
+ is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
+ skip reason.

*** Version 3.0.11 ***
- On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and
- The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the
crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well.
- Log messages are shortened by printing the thread id on its
- own (as opposed to putting it inside the string "Privoxy()".
+ own (as opposed to putting it inside the string "Privoxy()").
- The config option socket-timeout has been added to control
the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket.
- Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
