From: Fabian Keil The mingw32 version uses mutex locks now which prevents
- log message corruption under load. As a side effect,
- the "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well.
+> On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and
+ reused if the server supports it. Whether or not this improves
+ things depends on the connection.
+ When dropping privileges, membership in supplementary groups
+ is given up as well. Not doing that can lead to Privoxy running
+ with more rights than necessary and violates the principle of
+ least privilege. Users of the --user option are advised to update.
+ Thanks to Matthias Drochner for reporting the problem,
+ providing the initial patch and testing the final version.
+ Passing invalid users or groups with the --user option
+ didn't lead to program exit. Regression introduced in 3.0.7.
+ The match all section has been moved from default.action
+ to a new file called match-all.action. As a result the
+ default.action no longer needs to be touched by the user
+ and can be safely overwritten by updates.
+ The standard.action file has been removed. Its content
+ is now part of the default.action file.
+ In some situations the logged content length was slightly too low.
+ Crunched requests are logged with their own log level.
+ If you used "debug 1" in the past, you'll probably want
+ to additionally enable "debug 1024", otherwise only passed
+ requests will be logged. If you only care about crunched
+ requests, simply replace "debug 1" with "debug 1024".
+ The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the
+ crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well.
+ Log messages are shortened by not printing the thread id
+ on its own (as opposed to putting it inside "Privoxy()".
+ The config option socket-timeout has been added to control
+ the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket.
Requests with invalid HTTP versions are rejected.
+ The template symbol @date@ can be used to include a date(1)-like
+ time string. Initial patch submitted by Endre Szabo.
+ Responses from shoutcast servers are accepted again.
+ Problem reported and fix suggested by Stefan.
+ The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with
the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to
add X-Forwarded-For headers. The latter functionality already

hide-forwarded-for-headers action).
A "clear log" view option was added to the mingw32 version
+ to clear out all of the lines in the Privoxy log window.
+ Based on a patch submitted by T Ford.
+ The mingw32 version uses "critical sections" now, which prevents
+ log message corruption under load. As a side effect, the
+ "no thread-safe PRNG" warning could be removed as well.
+ The mingw32 version's task bar icon is crossed out and
+ the color changed to gray if Privoxy is toggled off.

The "filter-client-headers" and - "filter-server-headers" actions that were introduced with - Privoxy 3.0.5 to apply content filters to - the headers have been removed and replaced with new actions. - See the What's New section above. -
