-IMPORTANT CHANGES
-
- REALLY BIG NEWS! August 2002: The long-awaited, oft-delayed stable version
- of Privoxy 3.0 is finally released! This is way behind schedule, but better
- late than never. The developers all hope the wait was worth it.
-
-
- NEWS! As of 03/24/02, the name of this project has been changed from
- ijbswa/Junkbuster to Privoxy. This is reflected in many of the included
- files.
-
-
- WARNING! If upgrading from earlier versions of this project via RPM packages,
- the new package will delete any previously installed 'Junkbuster' packages.
-
+CHANGES
- IMPORTANT! READ! Configuration Change as of 17 Mar 2002: The default listening
- port is now 8118 due to conflicts with port 8000 assignment. You will need to
- change your browser if upgrading!!! And maybe firewall, etc.
+ For a list of changes in this release, please have a
+ look at the "ChangeLog", the "What's New" section or

CONFIGURATION
- See: 'config', 'default.action', 'user.action', and 'default.filter'.
