130 *** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes ***
132 - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
133 - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
134 the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
136 - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
137 (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
138 - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
139 Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
140 - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
141 FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
142 - Most URLs hardcoded into Junkbuster were changed to go through a script
143 e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
144 The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
145 http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
147 http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
148 ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by Junkbuster anyway.
149 TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in Junkbuster Corp's
150 copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
151 - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
154 *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
156 - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
159 *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
161 - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
162 (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
163 data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
164 - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
165 is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
166 make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
167 also has a higher name collision risk.
168 - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
169 parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
171 - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
172 that Stefan had placed there.
173 - Improved the re_filterfile
176 *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
178 - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
179 syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
180 is expected - however they seem to work.
181 - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
182 use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
183 the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
184 "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
185 need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
186 To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
187 This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
188 (how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
189 - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
190 one from JunkbusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
191 - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
192 apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
193 popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
194 - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
195 - New source file headers.
196 - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
197 config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
199 - RCS tags on .h files.
200 - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
202 - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
203 - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
204 - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
205 sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
206 has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
207 connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
208 config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
209 moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
210 And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
211 which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
212 (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
213 - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
214 and this function also stores the proxy_args.
215 - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
216 - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
217 - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
218 being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
219 - Version number changes to 2.9.0
