The most prominent improvements are SOCKS5 support and -zlib support for the default Privoxy builds. - -See http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.10/user-manual/whatsnew.html for details. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- -ChangeLog for Privoxy --------------------------------------------------------------------- - -*** Version 3.0.10 *** - -- Ordinary configuration file changes no longer cause program - termination on OS/2 if the name of the logfile hasn't been - changed as well. This regression probably crept in with the - logging improvements in 3.0.7. Reported by Maynard. -- The img-reorder filter is less likely to mess up JavaScript code in - img tags. Problem and solution reported by Glenn Washburn in #2014552. -- The source tar ball now includes Privoxy-Log-Parser, - a syntax-highlighter for Privoxy logs. For fancy screenshots see: - http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy-log-parser/ - Documentation is available through perldoc(1). - -*** Version 3.0.9 Beta *** - -- Added SOCKS5 support (with address resolution done by - the SOCKS5 server). Patch provided by Eric M. Hopper. -- The "blocked" CGI pages include a block reason that was - provided as argument to the last-applying block action. -- If enable-edit-actions is disabled (the default since 3.0.7 beta) - the show-status page hides the edit buttons and explains why. - Previously the user would get the "this feature has been disabled" - message after using the edit button. -- Forbidden CONNECT requests are treated like blocks by default. - The now-pointless treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks action - has been removed. -- Not enabling limit-connect now allows CONNECT requests to all ports. - In previous versions it would only allow CONNECT requests to port 443. - Use +limit-connect{443} if you think you need the old default behaviour. -- The CGI editor gets turned off after three edit requests with invalid - file modification timestamps. This makes life harder for attackers - who can leverage browser bugs to send fake Referers and intend to - brute-force edit URLs. -- Action settings for multiple patterns in the same section are - shared in memory. As a result these sections take up less space - (and are loaded slightly faster). Problem reported by Franz Schwartau. -- Linear white space in HTTP headers will be normalized to single - spaces before parsing the header's content, headers split across - multiple lines get merged first. This should prevent problems like: - * letting the session-cookies-only action slip - some Cookies through unmodified, - * only suppressing the first line of a header, - thus creating an invalid one, and - * to incorrectly block headers with valid timestamps - that weren't properly recognized. - Headers that could trigger these problems are unlikely to appear - in "normal" web traffic, but could be intentionally generated to - fool some of Privoxy's header parsers. -- Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less - likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured. -- New config option "hostname" to use a hostname other than - the one returned by the operating system. Useful to speed-up responses - for CGI requests on misconfigured systems. Requested by Max Khon. -- The CGI editor supports the "disable all filters of this type" - directives "-client-header-filter", "-server-header-filter", - "-client-header-tagger" and "-server-header-tagger". -- Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that - contain the pattern "/jump/". -- The less-download-windows filter no longer messes - "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up. -- In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and - inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee. -- The GNUmakefile supports the DESTDIR variable. Patch for - the install target submitted by Radoslaw Zielinski. -- Embedding the content of configuration files in the show-status - page is significantly faster now. For a largish action file (1 MB) - a speedup of about 2450 times has been measured. This is mostly - interesting if you are using large action files or regularly use - Privoxy-Regression-Test while running Privoxy through Valgrind, - for stock configuration files it doesn't really matter. -- If zlib support is unavailable and there are content - filters active but the prevent-compression action is disabled, - the show-url-info page includes a warning that compression - might prevent filtering. -- The show-url-info page provides an OpenSearch Description that - allows to access the page through browser search plugins. -- Custom client-header filters that rewrite the request line - incorrectly no longer cause Privoxy to crash. Reported by din_a4. -- The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the - PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are slightly - less unreliable. -- The inspect-jpegs action has been removed. -- The send-wafer and send-vanilla-wafer actions have been removed. - They weren't particular useful and their behaviour could be emulated - with add-header anyway. -- Privoxy-Regression-Test has been significantly improved. -- Most sections in the default.action file contain tests for - Privoxy-Regression-Test to verify that they are working as intended. -- Parts of Privoxy have been refactored to increase maintainability. -- Building with zlib (if available) is done by default. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ -About Privoxy: ------------------------------------------------------------------ - -Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for -protecting privacy, modifying web page data, managing cookies, -controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other -obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible -configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs -and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems -and multi-user networks. - -Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm). - -At present, Privoxy is known to run on Windows(95, 98, ME, 2000, -XP, Vista), Linux (Ubuntu, RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo and -others), Mac OSX, OS/2, AmigaOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and -various other flavors of Unix. - -In addition to the traditional features of ad and junk blocking, and cookie -management, Privoxy adds these features: - - * Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to - configure browsers individually. - - * Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client - headers. - - * Can be chained with other proxies. - - * Integrated browser based configuration and control utility - at http://config.privoxy.org/ (shortcut: http://p.p/). Browser-based - tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling. - - * Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection). - - * Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads). - - * User-customizable HTML templates for all proxy-generated pages (e.g. - "blocked" page). - - * Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes. - - * Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix). - - * Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, - configuration more powerful and versatile over-all. - - * Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed. - -Download location: - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11118 - -Home Page: - http://www.privoxy.org/ - - - - Privoxy Developers
