ChangeLog for Internet JunkBuster
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-*** Version 2.9.11 Beta and CVS Changes (WIP 03/07/02) ***
+*** Version 2.9.11 Beta and current CVS Changes (WIP 03/07/02) ***
- **READ**: The default listening PORT is NOW 8118!!! Changed from
8000 due to conflict with NAS (Network Audio Server, whatever that
is.)
+- +filter now takes arguments to match FILTER sections in re_filterfile
+for even more flexibility.
- Added a new image blocker option: +image-blocker{pattern}, which
displays a checkboard patthern and scales better than the logo.
- PNG images will be used in place of GIF for JB built-in images
+*** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes ***
+
+- Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
+- "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
+the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
+image).
+- one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
+(yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
+- Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
+Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
+- Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
+FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
+- Most URLs hardcoded into JunkBuster were changed to go through a script
+e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
+The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
+ http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
+and the home page:
+ http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
+... and various URLs which will be intercepted by JunkBuster anyway.
+TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in JunkBuster Corp's
+copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
+- PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
+
+
+*** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
+
+- Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
+
+
+*** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
+
+- in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
+(BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
+data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
+- Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
+is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
+make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
+also has a higher name collision risk.
+- Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
+parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
+patch war ;-)
+- Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
+that Stefan had placed there.
+- Improved the re_filterfile
+
+
+*** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
+
+- Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
+syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
+is expected - however they seem to work.
+- Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
+use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
+the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
+"acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
+need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
+To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
+This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
+(how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
+- Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
+one from JunkBusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
+- Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
+apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
+popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
+- ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
+- New source file headers.
+- Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
+config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
+get this released!)
+- RCS tags on .h files.
+- RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
+per tag ;-)
+- VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
+- show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
+- Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
+sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
+has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
+connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
+config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
+moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
+And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
+which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
+(Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
+- Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
+and this function also stores the proxy_args.
+- Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
+- Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
+- Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
+being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
+- Version number changes to 2.9.0
