1 --------------------------------------------------------------------
3 --------------------------------------------------------------------
6 - A "clear log" view option was added to the mingw32 version
7 to clear out all of the lines in the Privoxy log window.
8 Based on a patch submitted by T Ford.
9 - The mingw32 version uses mutex locks now which prevents
10 log message corruption under load. As a side effect,
11 the "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well.
12 - Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
13 option --disable-toggle only. In previous versions it also
14 depended on the action editor and thus configuring with the
15 --disable-editor option would disable remote toggling support
17 - The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with
18 the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to
19 add X-Forwarded-For headers. The latter functionality already
20 existed in Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.7 but has been removed
21 as it was often used unintentionally (by not using the
22 hide-forwarded-for-headers action).
24 *** Version 3.0.10 ***
26 - Ordinary configuration file changes no longer cause program
27 termination on OS/2 if the name of the logfile hasn't been
28 changed as well. This regression probably crept in with the
29 logging improvements in 3.0.7. Reported by Maynard.
30 - The img-reorder filter is less likely to mess up JavaScript code in
31 img tags. Problem and solution reported by Glenn Washburn in #2014552.
32 - The source tar ball now includes Privoxy-Log-Parser,
33 a syntax-highlighter for Privoxy logs. For fancy screenshots see:
34 http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy-log-parser/
35 Documentation is available through perldoc(1).
37 *** Version 3.0.9 Beta ***
39 - Added SOCKS5 support (with address resolution done by
40 the SOCKS5 server). Patch provided by Eric M. Hopper.
41 - The "blocked" CGI pages include a block reason that was
42 provided as argument to the last-applying block action.
43 - If enable-edit-actions is disabled (the default since 3.0.7 beta)
44 the show-status page hides the edit buttons and explains why.
45 Previously the user would get the "this feature has been disabled"
46 message after using the edit button.
47 - Forbidden CONNECT requests are treated like blocks by default.
48 The now-pointless treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks action
50 - Not enabling limit-connect now allows CONNECT requests to all ports.
51 In previous versions it would only allow CONNECT requests to port 443.
52 Use +limit-connect{443} if you think you need the old default behaviour.
53 - The CGI editor gets turned off after three edit requests with invalid
54 file modification timestamps. This makes life harder for attackers
55 who can leverage browser bugs to send fake Referers and intend to
56 brute-force edit URLs.
57 - Action settings for multiple patterns in the same section are
58 shared in memory. As a result these sections take up less space
59 (and are loaded slightly faster). Problem reported by Franz Schwartau.
60 - Linear white space in HTTP headers will be normalized to single
61 spaces before parsing the header's content, headers split across
62 multiple lines get merged first. This should prevent problems like:
63 * letting the session-cookies-only action slip
64 some Cookies through unmodified,
65 * only suppressing the first line of a header,
66 thus creating an invalid one, and
67 * to incorrectly block headers with valid timestamps
68 that weren't properly recognized.
69 Headers that could trigger these problems are unlikely to appear
70 in "normal" web traffic, but could be intentionally generated to
71 fool some of Privoxy's header parsers.
72 - Host information is gathered outside the main thread so it's less
73 likely to delay other incoming connections if the host is misconfigured.
74 - New config option "hostname" to use a hostname other than
75 the one returned by the operating system. Useful to speed-up responses
76 for CGI requests on misconfigured systems. Requested by Max Khon.
77 - The CGI editor supports the "disable all filters of this type"
78 directives "-client-header-filter", "-server-header-filter",
79 "-client-header-tagger" and "-server-header-tagger".
80 - Fixed false-positives with the link-by-url filter and URLs that
81 contain the pattern "/jump/".
82 - The less-download-windows filter no longer messes
83 "Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash" headers up.
84 - In the show-url-info page's "Final results" section active and
85 inactive actions are listed separately. Patch provided by Lee.
86 - The GNUmakefile supports the DESTDIR variable. Patch for
87 the install target submitted by Radoslaw Zielinski.
88 - Embedding the content of configuration files in the show-status
89 page is significantly faster now. For a largish action file (1 MB)
90 a speedup of about 2450 times has been measured. This is mostly
91 interesting if you are using large action files or regularly use
92 Privoxy-Regression-Test while running Privoxy through Valgrind,
93 for stock configuration files it doesn't really matter.
94 - If zlib support is unavailable and there are content
95 filters active but the prevent-compression action is disabled,
96 the show-url-info page includes a warning that compression
97 might prevent filtering.
98 - The show-url-info page provides an OpenSearch Description that
99 allows to access the page through browser search plugins.
100 - Custom client-header filters that rewrite the request line
101 incorrectly no longer cause Privoxy to crash. Reported by din_a4.
102 - The obsolete kill-popups action has been removed as the
103 PCRS-based popup filters can do the same and are slightly
105 - The inspect-jpegs action has been removed.
106 - The send-wafer and send-vanilla-wafer actions have been removed.
107 They weren't particular useful and their behaviour could be emulated
108 with add-header anyway.
109 - Privoxy-Regression-Test has been significantly improved.
110 - Most sections in the default.action file contain tests for
111 Privoxy-Regression-Test to verify that they are working as intended.
112 - Parts of Privoxy have been refactored to increase maintainability.
113 - Building with zlib (if available) is done by default.
115 *** Version 3.0.8 ***
117 - Fixed a small memory leak when listen-address only specifies the port.
118 - The source tar balls now include Privoxy-Regression-Test which
119 (upon other things) can be used to automatically detect some
120 packaging problems. Packagers are welcome to give it a try.
121 - Reverted a change in 3.0.7 that caused path patterns to be checked
122 even if the host pattern match already failed. While this doesn't
123 noticeable affect the performance, it makes it less likely to run
124 out of stack space with overly-complex path patterns the user might
126 - Updated the msn, yahoo and google filters to work as advertised again.
127 - The warning message shown by the show-status CGI page is easier to
128 understand. Previously it wasn't clear that the error message
129 is shown below the invalid directive. (Reported by Lee)
130 - When regenerating Content-Disposition headers the more common
131 spelling is used for the name. Previously it was written without caps.
132 - Less confusing log message if the content type isn't overwritten
133 because force-text-type wasn't used but the old type doesn't look
134 like content that would be filtered normally.
135 - Better log messages if the user tries to execute filters that
137 - Treat the non-standard Request-Range headers like standard range
138 headers and suppress them if content filtering is enabled.
139 - Prevent the log messages for CONNECT requests to unacceptable
140 ports from printing the limit-connect argument as [null] if
141 limit-connect hasn't been explicitly enabled.
142 - Don't disable the mingw32 log window if the logfile directive
143 isn't used. While it was an intentional change in 3.0.7 at least
144 one user perceived it as a regression and the same effect can
145 be achieved by disabling all debug directives.
146 - Fixed two minor problems related to the win32 build process: a css
147 file was not being in the installer and the trustfile comment in the
148 config.txt referenced a nonexisting file
149 - Minor documentation fixes.
151 *** Version 3.0.7 Beta ***
153 - Added zlib support to filter content with gzip and deflate
154 encoding. (Patch provided by Wil Mahan)
155 - Dedicated filters and actions are used for header filtering.
156 "filter-client-headers" and "filter-client-headers" are no longer
157 supported, use server-header-filter{} and client-header-filter{}
159 - Tags can be used to change actions based on HTTP headers.
160 - New server-header filter: less-download-windows.
161 - New client-header taggers: css-requests, image-requests,
162 client-ip-address, http-method, allow-post, complete-url,
163 user-agent and privoxy-control.
164 - New server-header taggers: content-type and privoxy-control.
165 - The forward-override{} action allows to change the forwarding
166 settings through the action files, for example based on client
167 headers like the User-Agent, or the request origin.
168 - Socks errors are no longer handled by the CGI page for
169 DNS resolution failures.
170 - CGI pages use favicons to signal whether they are error
171 or control pages. This is useful if you rely heavily on
173 - The show-url-info CGI page shows the forwarding settings.
174 - "Crunch!" log messages (used when Privoxy answers requests
175 by itself) now also contain the reason.
176 - Allow to rewrite the request destination behind the client's back.
177 - Fix socks requests on big-endian platforms. Patch provided by Song Weijia.
178 - Fixes possible deadlocks and crashes on OpenBSD.
179 Patch provided by Ralf Horstmann.
180 - The CGI action editor allows to edit actionfiles with previously
181 forbidden characters like dots.
182 - New trust entries are saved with a comment that contains the
183 trusted referring URL (Suggested by Daniel Griscom).
184 - Filter descriptions are HTML encoded automatically.
185 - New config option "split-large-forms" to work
186 around a browser bug that caused IE6 and IE7 to ignore
187 the Submit button on the edit-actions-for-url CGI page.
188 - New config option "allow-cgi-request-crunching" to allow
189 requests for Privoxy's CGI pages to be blocked, redirected
190 or (un)trusted like ordinary requests.
191 - Empty filter files no longer interrupt the filtering process
192 prematurely and are correctly listed on the show-status CGI page.
193 - New config option "accept-intercepted-requests" to combine
194 Privoxy with any packet filter to build an intercepting proxy
195 for HTTP/1.1 requests (and for HTTP/1.0 requests with Host header set).
196 - fast-redirects{} catch redirects to https URLs as well.
197 - redirect{s@foo@bar@} can be used to redirect to a rewritten
198 version of the original URL.
199 - Trap unsupported gopher proxy requests.
200 - Fixed a bug in the User Manual delivery on Windows
201 (mingw32 only). Images now show up correctly and HTML
202 pages are no longer padded with garbage data.
203 - Fixed several minor memory leaks, most of them discovered with Valgrind.
204 - Only unlink the pidfile if it's actually used.
205 - Retries after connection problems with forced requests
206 aren't blocked again.
207 - On Unix SIGABRT causes a core dump as expected and is no
208 longer treated as normal shutdown signal.
209 - The "access denied" CGI page is more descriptive and
210 allows retries to circumvent the referrer check.
211 - Updated PCRS to handle unexpected PCRE errors properly.
212 Fixed crashes that could occur if Privoxy was build
213 with external PCRE versions newer than Privoxy's internal
214 one. (Reported by Chung-chieh Shan)
215 - Fixed crashes with null bytes in PCRS replacement strings
216 (Patch provided by Felix Gröbert).
217 - Fixed crashes with header time randomization on mingw32.
218 - The CGI style sheet is no longer delivered if the referring
219 page isn't a Privoxy CGI page. This prevents a JavaScript-based
220 Privoxy detection "attack". Note that detecting Privoxy is
221 still possible through other ways and Privoxy was never intended
222 to be invisible anyway.
223 - Added support for AmigaOS 4, fixed build for AmigaOS 3.x.
224 - The show-url-info CGI page displays a warning if Privoxy
225 is currently toggled off.
226 - The show-status CGI page suppresses the edit button
227 for action files if Privoxy has no write access.
228 - Most CGI error pages react properly to HEAD requests.
229 - Requests with RFC 3253 HTTP methods (used by Subversion)
230 are accepted. (Patch provided by Petr Kadlec)
231 - New config option "templdir" to change the location
232 of the CGI templates to make sure customized templates
234 - Better handling of "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" responses.
235 - The background of the PNG pattern is transparent.
236 - Fixed XML syntax errors caused by banners-by-size and banners-by-url.
237 - Fixed crashes and possible action file corruptions
238 when lines containing hashes are written through the CGI editor.
239 - Supports dynamic filters which can contain variables.
240 - Supports tags to change the actions based on client or server headers.
241 - Incorrect actions are logged before program termination.
242 - The "actionsfile" syntax in the configuration file is consistent
243 with the rest of the configuration options and requires the
244 whole file name. This is an incompatible change, if you use
245 an old configuration file you might have to append ".action"
246 to your "actionsfile" directives.
247 - With the configuration file option "enforce-blocks" the
248 "go there anyway" mechanism can be disabled without recompiling
250 - More precise error messages in case of incorrect acl syntax.
251 - Logs a warning if filtering is enabled but impossible due
252 to lack of zlib support or use of the prevent-compression action.
253 - Less noisy handling of Cookie:" and "Connection:" headers.
254 - Improved error messages in case of connection problems.
255 - Fix a command-line-parsing bug that was introduced before 3.0.5
256 beta and caused Privoxy to treat the last argument as configuration
257 file if no configuration file was specified.
258 - Treat unknown command line options as fatal errors instead
259 of silently ignoring them.
260 - Use string functions with length checks more often.
261 - Don't log CONNECT requests twice.
262 - Allow to log the source address for ACL-related connection drops.
263 - Don't ignore applying filters if the server didn't
264 specify a Content-Type. Bug reported by Amuro Namie.
265 - Rejected CONNECT requests are logged with log level info
266 (enabled by default) and the reason for the block.
267 - New command line option "--pre-chroot-nslookup hostname" to
268 intialize the resolver library before chroot'ing. On some systems this
269 reduces the number of files that must be copied into the chroot tree.
270 (Patch provided by Stephen Gildea)
271 - Fix a long-standing memory corruption bug that could cause
272 Privoxy to overwrite a single byte in memory it didn't explicitly
273 allocate (but that probably was allocated anyway due to bucket size).
274 - Send template-based CGI pages as HTTP/1.1 unless the client
276 - Let the first line in connection established responses
277 end in \r\n as required by RFC1945. Reported by Bert van Leeuwen.
278 - If no log file has been specified, disable logging instead of logging
280 - Don't block stderr when in daemon mode.
281 - Ignore missing zero-chunks when filtering chunk-encoded content.
282 Earlier Privoxy versions would buffer and then forward the content
283 unmodified which caused some browsers to simply show empty pages.
284 - Fix double free in cgi_edit_actions_list(). Reported by Venustech AD-LAB.
285 - The code to add X-Forwarded-For headers when the hide-forwarded-for-headers
286 action isn't being used has been removed.
287 - Fixed trustfile feature which previously didn't work without FEATURE_TOGGLE.
289 - Minor code clean-ups, filter and action file updates.
290 (Some of them reported by Davide Alberani, Markus Elfring,
291 Stefan Huehner and Adam Piggott)
293 *** Version 3.0.6 ***
295 - New content filters: no-ping, google, msn, yahoo and blogspot.
296 - New header filters: x-httpd-php-to-html, html-to-xml, xml-to-html
297 and hide-tor-exit-notation.
298 - The special header "X-Filter: No" now disables header filtering as well.
299 - Improved the filters img-reorder, js-annoyances, webbugs,
300 banners-by-size, banners-by-link and ie-exploits to make them
301 less likely to break anything.
302 - Removed outdated URL patterns in default.action and added new ones.
303 - Added redirection from http://p.p/user-manual to http://p.p/user-manual/
304 - Changed webinterface default values for hide-user-agent, hide-referrer
305 and set-image-blocker.
307 *** Version 3.0.5 Beta ***
309 - Windows version can be installed/started as a service.
310 - Windows icon stays blue when Privoxy is idle, green when busy.
311 - Integrated Fabian Keil's extensive patch. See:
312 http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy/. Includes the
313 following new or significantly improved actions (among many
316 content-type-overwrite{}
317 crunch-client-header{string}
319 crunch-server-header{string}
320 fast-redirects{check-decoded-url}
321 filter-client-headers
322 filter-server-headers
324 handle-as-empty-document
325 hide-accept-language{}
326 hide-content-disposition{}
327 hide-if-modified-since
328 hide-referrer{conditional-block}
329 overwrite-last-modified{}
331 treat-forbidden-connects-like-blocks
333 - Standard-compliant clients are prevented from displaying cached
334 copies of Privoxy's error messages after the cause of the problem
336 - Improved DNS error handling.
337 - Multiple filter files can now be specified in config.
338 - Added jpeg filtering to defend against MS jpeg vulnerability MS04-028
339 with the new inspect-jpegs action.
340 - Removed the "arbitrary" 1000 filter limit - addresses tracker #911950
341 - Thanks to Jindrich Makovicka for a race condition fix for the log
342 file. The race condition remains for non-pthread implementations.
343 Reference patch #1175720. Various other logging enhancements.
344 - A pile of assorted bug fixes, memory leaks, enhancements, etc.
345 - Moved Actions file reporting mechanism to SF tracker.
346 - Two new options for config: enable-remote-http-toggle and
347 forwarded-connect-retries.
348 - Trap unsupported FTP requests.
349 - Let text/xml be filtered.
350 - Numerous updates to default.action
351 - Increase the compiled in limit of trusted referrers from 64 to 512
352 (for trustfile users).
354 *** Version 3.0.3 ***
356 - Fixed yet another two memory leaks. Process growth seems stopped now.
357 - Further tightened security against malicious toggle-off links.
358 - Excluded text/plain MIME types from filtering. This fixes a
359 couple of client-crashing, download corruption and
360 Privoxy performance issues, whose root cause lies in
361 web servers labelling content of unknown type as text/plain.
362 - Assorted fixes for POSIX compliance, signal handling, graceful
363 termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
364 error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.
365 - Workarounds for client (iTunes etc) and server (PHP < 4.2.3) bugs
366 including the notorious "blank page" problem.
367 - Various filter improvements; most notably the unsolicited-popups
368 filter became less destructive
369 - Major revamp of the actions file
371 *** Version 3.0.2 ***
373 - Fixed two memory leaks, one serious
374 - Fixed bug in pcrs which could cause crashes with user-defined filters
375 - Fixed bug in domain name matching

381 - Assorted refinements, optimizations and fixes in the js-annoyances,
382 img-reorder, banners-by-size, banners-by-link, webbugs, refresh-tags,
383 html-annoyances, content-cookies and fun filters
384 - Replaced filter "popups" by choice between two modes:
385 - "unsolicited-popups" tries to catch only the unsolicited ones
386 - "all-popups" tries to kill them all (as before)
387 - New filter "tiny-textforms" Help those tiny or hard-wrap textareas.
388 - New filter "jumping-windows" that prevents windows from resizing
389 and moving themselves
390 - New filter "demoronizer" which fixes MS's abuse of std charsets
391 (common cases anyway).
392 - Replaced "nimda" with more general "ie-exploits" filter in which
393 all filters for exploits shall be collected
394 - Improved cookie logging
395 - Rewrote make install target. Added uninstall and install-strip
397 - Fixed a potential (application-level, NOT OS-level!) security
398 problem involving remote toggling and action file manipulation
399 by mailicious websites.
400 - Added ability to chroot (thanks to Sviatoslav Sviridov)
401 - Added more action aliases for prehistoric action names
402 - Add Slackware support to Makefile.
406 - Fixed Windows startmenu items, log window and tray icon menus.
407 - Added warning for bogus install target
408 - Added quicktime-kioskmode filter and improved frameset-borders
409 - Updated default.action based on latest feedback
410 - New PDF doc build process
411 - Add a user contrib module to cvs:

520 - Support for running IJB as a UNIX daemon process has improved.
521 - Unix daemon now returns error code on failed start.
522 - Timestamps in logfile and jarfile now.
523 - Fix for the Netscape bug reintroduced in 2.9.9.
524 - make should now abort if gmake (GNU make) not present.
525 - Many other minor bugfixes
526 - Start a ChangeLog :)
530 *** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes ***
532 - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
533 - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
534 the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
536 - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
537 (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
538 - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
539 Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
540 - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
541 FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
542 - Most URLs hardcoded into Junkbuster were changed to go through a script
543 e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
544 The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
545 http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
547 http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
548 ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by Junkbuster anyway.
549 TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in Junkbuster Corp's
550 copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
551 - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
554 *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
556 - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
559 *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
561 - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
562 (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
563 data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
564 - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
565 is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
566 make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
567 also has a higher name collision risk.
568 - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
569 parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
571 - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
572 that Stefan had placed there.
573 - Improved the re_filterfile
576 *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
578 - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
579 syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
580 is expected - however they seem to work.
581 - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
582 use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
583 the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
584 "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
585 need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
586 To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
587 This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
588 (how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
589 - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
590 one from JunkbusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
591 - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
592 apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
593 popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
594 - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
595 - New source file headers.
596 - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
597 config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
599 - RCS tags on .h files.
600 - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
602 - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
603 - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
604 - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
605 sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
606 has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
607 connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
608 config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
609 moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
610 And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
611 which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
612 (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
613 - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
614 and this function also stores the proxy_args.
615 - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
616 - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
617 - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
618 being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
619 - Version number changes to 2.9.0
