368 Please use this to report such configuration related problems as missed

370 innocent images being blocked, etc.

376 including error pages should no longer be cached if the problem is fixed,
377 much better DNS error handling, various logging improvements, and
378 configuration updates for better ad blocking and junk elimination.
390 >3.1. Note to Upgraders</H2
392 > A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier
404 Some installers may remove earlier versions completely, including
405 configuration files. Save any important configuration files!
411 On the other hand, other installers may not overwrite any existing configuration
412 files, thinking you will want to do that. You may want to manually check
413 your saved files against the newer versions to see if the improvements have
414 merit, or whether there are new options that you may want to consider.
415 There are a number of new features, but most won't be available unless
416 these features are incorporated into your configuration somehow.
421 > See the full documentation on
425 HREF="actions-file.html#FAST-REDIRECTS"
429 which has changed syntax, and will require adjustments to local configs,

464 > logger, is off by default now.
470 What constitutes a <SPAN
473 > configuration has changed,
474 and you may want to review which actions are <SPAN
478 default. This is primarily a matter of emphasis, but some features
479 you may have been used to, may now be <SPAN
483 There are also a number of new actions and filters you may want to
484 consider, most of which are not fully incorporated into the default
485 settings as yet (see above).
490 > The default actions setting is now <TT
494 releases had a default setting of <TT
498 users may want to adjust this, as it is fairly conservative by <SPAN
502 standards and past practices. See <A
503 HREF="http://config.privoxy.org/edit-actions-list?f=default"
505 > http://config.privoxy.org/edit-actions-list?f=default</A
507 should try the default settings for a while before turning up the volume.
512 > The default setting has filtering turned <SPAN
519 subsequently means that compression is <SPAN
526 that filtering does not work on compressed pages, so if you use, or want to
527 use, filtering, you will need to force compression off. Example:
539 HREF="actions-file.html#FILTER"
542 HREF="actions-file.html#PREVENT-COMPRESSION"
543 >prevent-compression</A
552 > Or if you use a number of filters, or filter many sites, you may just want
553 to turn off compression for all sites in
567 HREF="actions-file.html#SESSION-COOKIES-ONLY"
568 >session-cookies-only</A
570 off by default now. If you've liked this feature in the past, you may want
571 to turn it back on in <TT
580 Some installers may not automatically start
