12 This file used for inclusion with other documents only.

15 If you make changes to this file, please verify the finished
16 docs all display as intended.
18 This file is included into:
30 FIXME: complete the list of features. change the order: most important
31 features to the top of the list. prefix new features with "NEW".
37 Supports "Connection: keep-alive". Outgoing connections can
38 be kept alive independently from the client. Currently not
39 available on all platforms.
45 Supports IPv6, provided the operating system does so too,
46 and the configure script detects it.
52 Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour
53 based on client and server headers.
59 Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to
60 configure browsers individually.
66 Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client
73 Can be chained with other proxies.
79 Integrated browser-based configuration and control utility at <ulink
80 url="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</ulink>
81 (shortcut: <ulink url="http://p.p/">http://p.p/</ulink>). Browser-based
82 tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
88 Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size,
89 invisible <quote>web-bugs</quote> and HTML annoyances, etc.)
95 Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and
96 user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated
97 actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
103 Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
104 a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
116 Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
122 User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
128 Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
134 Most features are controllable on a per-site or per-location basis.
140 Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
