>3. What's New in this Release</A
></H1
><P
-> There are only a few improvements and new features since
- <SPAN
+> <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
->Privoxy 3.0.10</SPAN
->, the last stable release:</P
+>Privoxy 3.0.12</SPAN
+> is mainly a bugfix release:</P
><P
> <P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
-> On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and
- reused if the server supports it. Whether or not this improves
- things depends on the connection.
+> 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.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> When dropping privileges, membership in supplementary groups
- is given up as well. Not doing that can lead to Privoxy running
- with more rights than necessary and violates the principle of
- least privilege. Users of the --user option are advised to update.
- Thanks to Matthias Drochner for reporting the problem,
- providing the initial patch and testing the final version.
+> The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
+ larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too
+ early.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Passing invalid users or groups with the --user option
- didn't lead to program exit. Regression introduced in 3.0.7.
+> The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> The match all section has been moved from default.action
- to a new file called match-all.action. As a result the
- default.action no longer needs to be touched by the user
- and can be safely overwritten by updates.
+> The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to
+ the documentation location specified with the directive,
+ not to the Privoxy website.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> The standard.action file has been removed. Its content
- is now part of the default.action file.
+> When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything
+ to the console unless there are errors before the logfile
+ has been opened.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> In some situations the logged content length was slightly too low.
+> The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives
+ on the same line as the directives themselves.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Crunched requests are logged with their own log level.
- If you used "debug 1" in the past, you'll probably want
- to additionally enable "debug 1024", otherwise only passed
- requests will be logged. If you only care about crunched
- requests, simply replace "debug 1" with "debug 1024".
+> Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings,
+ mostly on 64 bit platforms.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the
- crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well.
+> The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset
+ to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more
+ recent Windows versions. Patch by Burberry.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Log messages are shortened by printing the thread id on its
- own (as opposed to putting it inside the string "Privoxy()").
+> The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab
+ windows. Patch by Burberry.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> The config option socket-timeout has been added to control
- the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket.
+> The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error"
+ message box on mingw32.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
- option --disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also
- depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the
- --disable-editor option would disable remote toggling support
- as well.
+> Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering
+ them required control over the configuration file, therefore
+ this isn't seen as a security issue.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
-> Requests with invalid HTTP versions are rejected.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The template symbol @date@ can be used to include a date(1)-like
- time string. Initial patch submitted by Endre Szabo.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> Responses from shoutcast servers are accepted again.
- Problem reported and fix suggested by Stefan.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with
- the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to
- add X-Forwarded-For headers. The latter functionality already
- existed in Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.7 but has been removed
- as it was often used unintentionally (by not using the
- hide-forwarded-for-headers action).
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> A "clear log" view option was added to the mingw32 version
- to clear out all of the lines in the Privoxy log window.
- Based on a patch submitted by T Ford.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The mingw32 version uses "critical sections" now, which prevents
- log message corruption under load. As a side effect, the
- "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well.
- </P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
-> The mingw32 version's task bar icon is crossed out and
- the color changed to gray if Privoxy is toggled off.
+> In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
+ is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
+ skip reason.
</P
></LI
></UL
></P
-><P
-> This release marks a departure for Privoxy development.</P
-><P
-> Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and
- were only released at the end of the development cycle when the code
- was already believed to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release
- contained pretty much the same code, but got a higher version number.
- In the future we intend to release several snapshots between stable releases.
- There will probably still be about two stable releases per year,
- but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the two betas we have now.
- The intentions is to make testing without CVS access easier.</P
