47 Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size,
48 invisible <quote>web-bugs</quote>, JavaScript and HTML annoyances,
49 pop-up windows, header manipulation, etc.)
55 Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and
56 user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated
57 actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
62 Commenting out, per Fabian not believing its fully accurate.
65 HTTP/1.1 compliant (but not all optional 1.1 features are supported).
71 Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and
72 generally a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax over
79 Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
91 Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
97 Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
103 User-customizable HTML templates for all proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
109 Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
115 Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
121 Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration
122 more powerful and versatile over-all.
128 Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed, and security holes fixed.
