ChangeLog for Privoxy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+*** Version 3.0.34 stable ***
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Improve the handling of chunk-encoded responses by buffering the data
+ even if filters are disabled and properly keeping track of where the
+ various chunks are supposed to start and end. Previously Privoxy would
+ merely check the last bytes received to see if they looked like the
+ last-chunk. This failed to work if the last-chunk wasn't received in one
+ read and could also result in actual data being misdetected
+ as last-chunk.
+ Should fix: SF support request #1739
+ Reported by: withoutname
+ - remove_chunked_transfer_coding(): Refuse to de-chunk invalid data
+ Previously the data could get corrupted even further.
+ Now we simply pass the unmodified data to the client.
+ - gif_deanimate(): Tolerate multiple image extensions in a row.
+ This allows to deanimate all the gifs on:
+ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_smilies
+ Fixes SF bug #795 reported by Celejar.
+ - OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use X509_get_subject_name()
+ instead of X509_get_issuer_name() to get the issuer for generated
+ website certificates so there are no warnings in the browser when using
+ an intermediate CA certificate instead of a self-signed root certificate.
+ Problem reported and patch submitted by Chakib Benziane.
+ - can_filter_request_body(): Fix a log message that contained a spurious u.
+ - handle_established_connection(): Check for pending TLS data from the client
+ before checking if data is available on the connection.
+ The TLS library may have already consumed all the data from the client
+ response in which case poll() and select() will not detect that data is
+ available to be read.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - ssl_send_certificate_error(): Don't crash if there's no certificate
+ information available. This is only relevant when Privoxy is built with
+ wolfSSL 5.0.0 or later (code not yet published). Earlier wolfSSL versions
+ or the other TLS backends don't seem to trigger the crash.
+ - socks5_connect(): Add support for target hosts specified as IPv4 address
+ Previously the IP address was sent as domain.
+
+- General improvements:
+ - Add a client-body-tagger action which creates tags based on
+ the content of the request body.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - When client-body filters are enabled, buffer the whole request
+ before opening a connection to the server.
+ Makes it less likely that the server connection times out
+ and we don't open a connection if the buffering fails anyway.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - receive_and_send_encrypted_post_data(): Additionally check for data
+ being available. Previously we relied on the TLS library reading more data
+ from the wire than we read in which case the is_ssl_pending() check worked.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
+ - Add periods to a couple of log messages.
+ - accept_connection(): Add missing space to a log message.
+ - Initialize ca-related defaults with strdup_or_die() so errors
+ aren't silently ignored.
+ - make_path: Use malloc_or_die() in cases where allocation errors
+ were already fatal anyway.
+ - handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message slightly.
+ - receive_client_request(): Reject https URLs without CONNECT request.
+ - Include all requests in the statistics if mutexes are available.
+ Previously in case of reused connections only the last request got
+ counted. The statistics still aren't perfect but it's an improvement.
+ - Add read_socks_reply() and start using it in socks5_connect()
+ to apply the socket timeout more consistently.
+ - socks5_connect(): Deal with domain names in the socks reply
+ - Add a filter for bundeswehr.de
+
+- Action file improvements:
+ - Disable filter{banners-by-size} for .freiheitsfoo.de/
+ - Disable filter{banners-by-size} for freebsdfoundation.org/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for consent.youtube.com/
+ - Block requests to ups.xplosion.de/
+ - Block requests for elsa.memoinsights.com/t
+ - Fix a typo in a test.
+ - Disable fast-redirects for launchpad.net/
+ - Unblock .eff.org/
+ - Stop unblocking .org/.*(image|banner) which appears to be too generous
+ It let requests like:
+ https://stats.noblogs.org/piwik.php?action_name=anti%20gentrifizierungs%20fest&idsite=10175&rec=1&r=220192&h=17&m=7&s=44&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmuellemcalling.noblogs.org%2F&urlref=https%3A%2F%2Fmuellemcalling.noblogs.org%2Finfostande%2F&_id=&_idn=1&_refts=0&send_image=0&cookie=1&res=1366x768&pv_id=eqr7jX&pf_net=7&pf_srv=3&pf_tfr=2281&pf_dm1=156
+ pass.
+ The example URL http://www.gnu.org/graphics/gnu-head-banner.png is
+ already unblocked due to .gnu.org being unblocked.
+ - Unblock adfd.org/
+ - Disable filter{banners-by-link} for .eff.org/
+ - Block requests to odb.outbrain.com/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .gandi.net/
+ - Disable fast-redirects{} for .onion/.*/status/
+ - Disable fast-redirects{} for twitter.com/.*/status/
+ - Unblock pinkstinks.de/
+ - Disable fast-redirects for .hagalil.com/
+
+- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
+ - Bump version to 0.9.5.
+ - Highlight more log messages.
+ - Highlight the Crunch reason only once. Previously the "crunch reason"
+ could also be highlighted when the URL contained a matching string.
+ The real crunch reason only occurs once per line, so there's no need
+ to continue looking for it after it has been found once.
+ While at it, add a comment with an example log line.
+
+- uagen:
+ - Update BROWSER_VERSION and BROWSER_REVISION to 102.0
+ to match the User-Agent of the current Firefox ESR.
+ - Explicitly document that changing the 'Gecko token' is suspicious.
+ - Consistently use a lower-case 'c' as copyright symbol.
+ - Bump copyright.
+ - Add 'aarch64' as Linux architecture.
+ - Add OpenBSD architecture 'arm64'.
+ - Stop using sparc64 as FreeBSD architecture.
+ It hasn't been supported for a while now.
+ - Bump version.
+
+- Build system:
+ - Makefile: Add a 'dok' target that depends on the 'error' target
+ to show the "You are not using GNU make or did nor run configure"
+ message.
+ - configure: Fix --with-msan option.
+ Also (probably) reported by Andrew Savchenko.
+
+- Documentation:
+ - Add OpenSSL to the list of libraries that may be licensed under the
+ Apache 2.0 license in which case the linked Privoxy binary has to be
+ distributed under the GPLv3 or later.
+ - config: Fix the documented ca-directory default value
+ Reported by avoidr.
+ - Rebuild developer-manual and tidy with 'HTML Tidy for FreeBSD version 5.8.0'
+ - Update developer manual with new macOS packaging instructions.
+
