79 >3. What's New in this Release</A
82 > There are many improvements and new features since <SPAN
85 >, the last stable release:</P
92 > Header filtering can be done with dedicated header filters now. As a result
95 >"filter-client-headers"</SPAN
98 >"filter-server-headers"</SPAN
100 that were introduced with <SPAN
104 the content filters to the headers as, well have been removed again.
115 >3.1. Note to Upgraders</A
118 > A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier
130 Some installers may remove earlier versions completely, including
131 configuration files. Save any important configuration files!
137 On the other hand, other installers may not overwrite any existing configuration
138 files, thinking you will want to do that. You may want to manually check
139 your saved files against the newer versions to see if the improvements have
140 merit, or whether there are new options that you may want to consider.
141 There are a number of new features, but most won't be available unless
142 these features are incorporated into your configuration somehow.

155 which has changed syntax, and will require adjustments to local configs,

196 What constitutes a <SPAN
199 > configuration has changed,
200 and you may want to review which actions are <SPAN
204 default. This is primarily a matter of emphasis, but some features
205 you may have been used to, may now be <SPAN
209 There are also a number of new actions and filters you may want to
210 consider, most of which are not fully incorporated into the default
211 settings as yet (see above).
216 > The default actions setting is now <TT
220 releases had a default setting of <TT
224 users may want to adjust this, as it is fairly conservative by <SPAN
228 standards and past practices. See <A
229 HREF="http://config.privoxy.org/edit-actions-list?f=default"
231 > http://config.privoxy.org/edit-actions-list?f=default</A
233 should try the default settings for a while before turning up the volume.
238 > The default setting has filtering turned <SPAN
245 subsequently means that compression is <SPAN
252 that filtering does not work on compressed pages, so if you use, or want to
253 use, filtering, you will need to force compression off. Example:
265 HREF="actions-file.html#FILTER"
268 HREF="actions-file.html#PREVENT-COMPRESSION"
269 >prevent-compression</A
278 > Or if you use a number of filters, or filter many sites, you may just want
279 to turn off compression for all sites in
293 HREF="actions-file.html#SESSION-COOKIES-ONLY"
294 >session-cookies-only</A
296 off by default now. If you've liked this feature in the past, you may want
297 to turn it back on in <TT
