4 *** Since 3.0.9 Beta ***
5 - The img-reorder filter is less likely to mess up JavaScript code in
6 img tags. Problem and solution reported by Glenn Washburn in #2014552.
8 *** Version 3.0.9 Beta ***
10 - Added SOCKS5 support (with address resolution done by
11 the SOCKS5 server). Patch provided by Eric M. Hopper.
12 - The "blocked" CGI pages include a block reason that was
13 provided as argument to the last-applying block action.
14 - If enable-edit-actions is disabled (the default since 3.0.7 beta)
15 the show-status page hides the edit buttons and explains why.
16 Previously the user would get the "this feature has been disabled"
17 message after using the edit button.
18 - Forbidden CONNECT requests are treated like blocks by default.
19 The now-pointless treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks action
21 - Not enabling limit-connect now allows CONNECT requests to all ports.
22 In previous versions it would only allow CONNECT requests to port 443.
23 Use +limit-connect{443} if you think you need the old default behaviour.
24 - The CGI editor gets turned off after three edit requests with invalid
25 file modification timestamps. This makes life harder for attackers
26 who can leverage browser bugs to send fake Referers and intend to
27 brute-force edit URLs.
28 - Action settings for multiple patterns in the same section are
29 shared in memory. As a result these sections take up less space
30 (and are loaded slightly faster). Problem reported by Franz Schwartau.
31 - Linear white space in HTTP headers will be normalized to single
32 spaces before parsing the header's content, headers split across
33 multiple lines get merged first. This should prevent problems like:
34 * letting the session-cookies-only action slip
35 some Cookies through unmodified,
36 * only suppressing the first line of a header,
37 thus creating an invalid one, and
38 * to incorrectly block headers with valid timestamps
39 that weren't properly recognized.
40 Headers that could trigger these problems are unlikely to appear
41 in "normal" web traffic, but could be intentionally generated to
42 fool some of Privoxy's header parsers.
43 - Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less
44 likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured.
45 - New config option "hostname" to use a hostname other than
46 the one returned by the operating system. Useful to speed-up responses
47 for CGI requests on misconfigured systems. Requested by Max Khon.
48 - The CGI editor supports the "disable all filters of this type"
49 directives "-client-header-filter", "-server-header-filter",
50 "-client-header-tagger" and "-server-header-tagger".
51 - Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that
52 contain the pattern "/jump/".
53 - The less-download-windows filter no longer messes
54 "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up.
55 - In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and
56 inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee.
57 - The GNUmakefile supports the DESTDIR variable. Patch for
58 the install target submitted by Radoslaw Zielinski.
59 - Embedding the content of configuration files in the show-status
60 page is significantly faster now. For a largish action file (1 MB)
61 a speedup of about 2450 times has been measured. This is mostly
62 interesting if you are using large action files or regularly use
63 Privoxy-Regression-Test while running Privoxy through Valgrind,
64 for stock configuration files it doesn't really matter.
65 - If zlib support is unavailable and there are content
66 filters active but the prevent-compression action is disabled,
67 the show-url-info page includes a warning that compression
68 might prevent filtering.
69 - The show-url-info page provides an OpenSearch Description that
70 allows to access the page through browser search plugins.
71 - Custom client-header filters that rewrite the request line
72 incorrectly no longer cause Privoxy to crash. Reported by din_a4.
73 - The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the
74 PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are slightly
76 - The inspect-jpegs action has been removed.
77 - The send-wafer and send-vanilla-wafer actions have been removed.
78 They weren't particular useful and their behaviour could be emulated
79 with add-header anyway.
80 - Privoxy-Regression-Test has been significantly improved.
81 - Most sections in the default.action file contain tests for
82 Privoxy-Regression-Test to verify that they are working as intended.
83 - Parts of Privoxy have been refactored to increase maintainability.
84 - Building with zlib (if available) is done by default.
88 - Fixed a small memory leak when listen-address only specifies the port.
89 - The source tar balls now include Privoxy-Regression-Test which
90 (upon other things) can be used to automatically detect some
91 packaging problems. Packagers are welcome to give it a try.
92 - Reverted a change in 3.0.7 that caused path patterns to be checked
93 even if the host pattern match already failed. While this doesn't
94 noticeable affect the performance, it makes it less likely to run
95 out of stack space with overly-complex path patterns the user might
97 - Updated the msn, yahoo and google filters to work as advertised again.
98 - The warning message shown by the show-status CGI page is easier to
99 understand. Previously it wasn't clear that the error message
100 is shown below the invalid directive. (Reported by Lee)
101 - When regenerating Content-Disposition headers the more common
102 spelling is used for the name. Previously it was written without caps.
103 - Less confusing log message if the content type isn't overwritten
104 because force-text-type wasn't used but the old type doesn't look
105 like content that would be filtered normally.
106 - Better log messages if the user tries to execute filters that
108 - Treat the non-standard Request-Range headers like standard range
109 headers and suppress them if content filtering is enabled.
110 - Prevent the log messages for CONNECT requests to unacceptable
111 ports from printing the limit-connect argument as [null] if
112 limit-connect hasn't been explicitly enabled.
113 - Don't disable the mingw32 log window if the logfile directive
114 isn't used. While it was an intentional change in 3.0.7 at least
115 one user perceived it as a regression and the same effect can
116 be achieved by disabling all debug directives.
117 - Fixed two minor problems related to the win32 build process: a css
118 file was not being in the installer and the trustfile comment in the
119 config.txt referenced a nonexisting file
120 - Minor documentation fixes.
122 *** Version 3.0.7 Beta ***
124 - Added zlib support to filter content with gzip and deflate
125 encoding. (Patch provided by Wil Mahan)
126 - Dedicated filters and actions are used for header filtering.
127 "filter-client-headers" and "filter-client-headers" are no longer
128 supported, use server-header-filter{} and client-header-filter{}
130 - Tags can be used to change actions based on HTTP headers.
131 - New server-header filter: less-download-windows.
132 - New client-header taggers: css-requests, image-requests,
133 client-ip-address, http-method, allow-post, complete-url,
134 user-agent and privoxy-control.
135 - New server-header taggers: content-type and privoxy-control.
136 - The forward-override{} action allows to change the forwarding
137 settings through the action files, for example based on client
138 headers like the User-Agent, or the request origin.
139 - Socks errors are no longer handled by the CGI page for
140 DNS resolution failures.
141 - CGI pages use favicons to signal whether they are error
142 or control pages. This is useful if you rely heavily on
144 - The show-url-info CGI page shows the forwarding settings.
145 - "Crunch!" log messages (used when Privoxy answers requests
146 by itself) now also contain the reason.
147 - Allow to rewrite the request destination behind the client's back.
148 - Fix socks requests on big-endian platforms. Patch provided by Song Weijia.
149 - Fixes possible deadlocks and crashes on OpenBSD.
150 Patch provided by Ralf Horstmann.
151 - The CGI action editor allows to edit actionfiles with previously
152 forbidden characters like dots.
153 - New trust entries are saved with a comment that contains the
154 trusted referring URL (Suggested by Daniel Griscom).
155 - Filter descriptions are HTML encoded automatically.
156 - New config option "split-large-forms" to work
157 around a browser bug that caused IE6 and IE7 to ignore
158 the Submit button on the edit-actions-for-url CGI page.
159 - New config option "allow-cgi-request-crunching" to allow
160 requests for Privoxy's CGI pages to be blocked, redirected
161 or (un)trusted like ordinary requests.
162 - Empty filter files no longer interrupt the filtering process
163 prematurely and are correctly listed on the show-status CGI page.
164 - New config option "accept-intercepted-requests" to combine
165 Privoxy with any packet filter to build an intercepting proxy
166 for HTTP/1.1 requests (and for HTTP/1.0 requests with Host header set).
167 - fast-redirects{} catch redirects to https URLs as well.
168 - redirect{s@foo@bar@} can be used to redirect to a rewritten
169 version of the original URL.
170 - Trap unsupported gopher proxy requests.
171 - Fixed a bug in the User Manual delivery on Windows
172 (mingw32 only). Images now show up correctly and HTML
173 pages are no longer padded with garbage data.
174 - Fixed several minor memory leaks, most of them discovered with Valgrind.
175 - Only unlink the pidfile if it's actually used.
176 - Retries after connection problems with forced requests
177 aren't blocked again.
178 - On Unix SIGABRT causes a core dump as expected and is no
179 longer treated as normal shutdown signal.
180 - The "access denied" CGI page is more descriptive and
181 allows retries to circumvent the referrer check.
182 - Updated PCRS to handle unexpected PCRE errors properly.
183 Fixed crashes that could occur if Privoxy was build
184 with external PCRE versions newer than Privoxy's internal
185 one. (Reported by Chung-chieh Shan)
186 - Fixed crashes with null bytes in PCRS replacement strings
187 (Patch provided by Felix Gröbert).
188 - Fixed crashes with header time randomization on mingw32.
189 - The CGI style sheet is no longer delivered if the referring
190 page isn't a Privoxy CGI page. This prevents a JavaScript-based
191 Privoxy detection "attack". Note that detecting Privoxy is
192 still possible through other ways and Privoxy was never intended
193 to be invisible anyway.
194 - Added support for AmigaOS 4, fixed build for AmigaOS 3.x.
195 - The show-url-info CGI page displays a warning if Privoxy
196 is currently toggled off.
197 - The show-status CGI page suppresses the edit button
198 for action files if Privoxy has no write access.
199 - Most CGI error pages react properly to HEAD requests.
200 - Requests with RFC 3253 HTTP methods (used by Subversion)
201 are accepted. (Patch provided by Petr Kadlec)
202 - New config option "templdir" to change the location
203 of the CGI templates to make sure customized templates
205 - Better handling of "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" responses.
206 - The background of the PNG pattern is transparent.
207 - Fixed XML syntax errors caused by banners-by-size and banners-by-url.
208 - Fixed crashes and possible action file corruptions
209 when lines containing hashes are written through the CGI editor.
210 - Supports dynamic filters which can contain variables.
211 - Supports tags to change the actions based on client or server headers.
212 - Incorrect actions are logged before program termination.
213 - The "actionsfile" syntax in the configuration file is consistent
214 with the rest of the configuration options and requires the
215 whole file name. This is an incompatible change, if you use
216 an old configuration file you might have to append ".action"
217 to your "actionsfile" directives.
218 - With the configuration file option "enforce-blocks" the
219 "go there anyway" mechanism can be disabled without recompiling
221 - More precise error messages in case of incorrect acl syntax.
222 - Logs a warning if filtering is enabled but impossible due
223 to lack of zlib support or use of the prevent-compression action.
224 - Less noisy handling of Cookie:" and "Connection:" headers.
225 - Improved error messages in case of connection problems.
226 - Fix a command-line-parsing bug that was introduced before 3.0.5
227 beta and caused Privoxy to treat the last argument as configuration
228 file if no configuration file was specified.
229 - Treat unknown command line options as fatal errors instead
230 of silently ignoring them.
231 - Use string functions with length checks more often.
232 - Don't log CONNECT requests twice.
233 - Allow to log the source address for ACL-related connection drops.
234 - Don't ignore applying filters if the server didn't
235 specify a Content-Type. Bug reported by Amuro Namie.
236 - Rejected CONNECT requests are logged with log level info
237 (enabled by default) and the reason for the block.
238 - New command line option "--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname" to
239 intialize the resolver library before chroot'ing. On some systems this
240 reduces the number of files that must be copied into the chroot tree.
241 (Patch provided by Stephen Gildea)
242 - Fix a long-standing memory corruption bug that could cause
243 Privoxy to overwrite a single byte in memory it didn't explicitly
244 allocate (but that probably was allocated anyway due to bucket size).
245 - Send template-based CGI pages as HTTP/1.1 unless the client
247 - Let the first line in connection established responses
248 end in \r\n as required by RFC1945. Reported by Bert van Leeuwen.
249 - If no log file has been specified, disable logging instead of logging
251 - Don't block stderr when in daemon mode.
252 - Ignore missing zero-chunks when filtering chunk-encoded content.
253 Earlier Privoxy versions would buffer and then forward the content
254 unmodified which caused some browsers to simply show empty pages.
255 - Fix double free in cgi_edit_actions_list(). Reported by Venustech AD-LAB.
256 - The code to add X-Forwarded-For headers when the hide-forwarded-for-headers
257 action isn't being used has been removed.
258 - Fixed trustfile feature which previously didn't work without FEATURE_TOGGLE.
260 - Minor code clean-ups, filter and action file updates.
261 (Some of them reported by Davide Alberani, Markus Elfring,
262 Stefan Huehner and Adam Piggott)
264 *** Version 3.0.6 ***
266 - New content filters: no-ping, google, msn, yahoo and blogspot.
267 - New header filters: x-httpd-php-to-html, html-to-xml, xml-to-html
268 and hide-tor-exit-notation.
269 - The special header "X-Filter: No" now disables header filtering as well.
270 - Improved the filters img-reorder, js-annoyances, webbugs,
271 banners-by-size, banners-by-link and ie-exploits to make them
272 less likely to break anything.
273 - Removed outdated URL patterns in default.action and added new ones.
274 - Added redirection from http://p.p/user-manual to http://p.p/user-manual/
275 - Changed webinterface default values for hide-user-agent, hide-referrer
276 and set-image-blocker.

281 - Windows icon stays blue when Privoxy is idle, green when busy.
282 - Integrated Fabian Keil's extensive patch. See:
283 http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy/. Includes the
284 following new or significantly improved actions (among many
287 content-type-overwrite{}
288 crunch-client-header{string}
290 crunch-server-header{string}
291 fast-redirects{check-decoded-url}
292 filter-client-headers
293 filter-server-headers
295 handle-as-empty-document
296 hide-accept-language{}
297 hide-content-disposition{}
298 hide-if-modified-since
299 hide-referrer{conditional-block}
300 overwrite-last-modified{}
302 treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks
304 - Standard-compliant clients are prevented from displaying cached
305 copies of Privoxy's error messages after the cause of the problem
307 - Improved DNS error handling.
308 - Multiple filter files can now be specified in config.
309 - Added jpeg filtering to defend against MS jpeg vulnerability MS04-028
310 with the new inspect-jpegs action.

322 - Increase the compiled in limit of trusted referrers from 64 to 512
323 (for trustfile users).
325 *** Version 3.0.3 ***
327 - Fixed yet another two memory leaks. Process growth seems stopped now.
328 - Further tightened security against malicious toggle-off links.
329 - Excluded text/plain MIME types from filtering. This fixes a
330 couple of client-crashing, download corruption and
331 Privoxy performance issues, whose root cause lies in
332 web servers labelling content of unknown type as text/plain.
333 - Assorted fixes for POSIX compliance, signal handling, graceful
334 termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
335 error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.
336 - Workarounds for client (iTunes etc) and server (PHP < 4.2.3) bugs
337 including the notorious "blank page" problem.
338 - Various filter improvements; most notably the unsolicited-popups
339 filter became less destructive

353 img-reorder, banners-by-size, banners-by-link, webbugs, refresh-tags,
354 html-annoyances, content-cookies and fun filters
355 - Replaced filter "popups" by choice between two modes:
356 - "unsolicited-popups" tries to catch only the unsolicited ones
357 - "all-popups" tries to kill them all (as before)
358 - New filter "tiny-textforms" Help those tiny or hard-wrap textareas.
359 - New filter "jumping-windows" that prevents windows from resizing
360 and moving themselves
361 - New filter "demoronizer" which fixes MS's abuse of std charsets
362 (common cases anyway).
363 - Replaced "nimda" with more general "ie-exploits" filter in which
364 all filters for exploits shall be collected
365 - Improved cookie logging
366 - Rewrote make install target. Added uninstall and install-strip
368 - Fixed a potential (application-level, NOT OS-level!) security
369 problem involving remote toggling and action file manipulation
370 by mailicious websites.
371 - Added ability to chroot (thanks to Sviatoslav Sviridov)
372 - Added more action aliases for prehistoric action names
373 - Add Slackware support to Makefile.
377 - Fixed Windows startmenu items, log window and tray icon menus.
378 - Added warning for bogus install target
379 - Added quicktime-kioskmode filter and improved frameset-borders
380 - Updated default.action based on latest feedback
381 - New PDF doc build process
382 - Add a user contrib module to cvs:

497 - Start a ChangeLog :)
501 *** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes ***
503 - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
504 - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
505 the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
507 - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
508 (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
509 - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
510 Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
511 - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
512 FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
513 - Most URLs hardcoded into Junkbuster were changed to go through a script
514 e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
515 The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
516 http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
518 http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
519 ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by Junkbuster anyway.
520 TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in Junkbuster Corp's
521 copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
522 - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
525 *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
527 - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
530 *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
532 - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
533 (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
534 data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
535 - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
536 is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
537 make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
538 also has a higher name collision risk.
539 - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
540 parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
542 - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
543 that Stefan had placed there.
544 - Improved the re_filterfile
547 *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
549 - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
550 syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
551 is expected - however they seem to work.
552 - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
553 use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
554 the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
555 "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
556 need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
557 To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
558 This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
559 (how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
560 - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
561 one from JunkbusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
562 - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
563 apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
564 popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
565 - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
566 - New source file headers.
567 - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
568 config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
570 - RCS tags on .h files.
571 - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
573 - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
574 - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
575 - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
576 sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
577 has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
578 connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
579 config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
580 moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
581 And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
582 which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
583 (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
584 - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
585 and this function also stores the proxy_args.
586 - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
587 - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
588 - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
589 being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
590 - Version number changes to 2.9.0
