3 --------------------------------------------------------------------
5 *** Version 2.9.13 Beta ***

9 - ijb.action is now default.action. re_filterfile is now
11 - http://i.j.b/ is now http://p.p/
13 *** Version 2.9.12 Beta ***

18 - More CGI actions editor fixes and improvements.
19 - Win32 command line fix ups.
20 - re_filterfile now has modular sections that can be activated on a
21 per site basis. Some new goodies there too.
22 - +filter now takes arguments to match FILTER sections in re_filterfile
23 for even more flexibility.
24 - Added a new image blocker option: +image-blocker{pattern}, which
25 displays a checkboard patthern and scales better than the logo.
26 - PNG images will be used in place of GIF for JB built-in images
27 if configured with --enable-no-gif.

29 - Improved handling of failed DNS lookups & diagnostics for failed bind
31 - Made --no-daemon mode log to tty instead of logfile.
32 - Various spec file and init script cleanups and improvements (Redhat and
34 - CGI Editor works on OS/2 now.
35 - Fix restart failure where sockets were in TIME_WAIT.
36 - Fixes for actions cgi editor, make sure we have right file.
37 - A --pidfile command line option now, in addition to --help,
38 --version, --no-daemon, --user and configfile. --no-daemon replaces
39 the former -d option and _DEBUG define. --user will drop privileges
40 to the specified user.
41 - Signal handling cleanups (*nix).
42 - CGI actions editor improvements and fixes.
43 - Error handling improvements, especially out of memory.

46 - configure.in threading fixes for Solaris.
47 - Various other minor fixes.
50 *** Version 2.9.11 Beta Changes ***
52 - Add "session" cookie concept where cookies exist for the life
53 of that browser session only (ie never goes to disk).
54 - Checks for correct header length.
55 - Fix user:pass@host.domain.com auth bug.
56 - Better signal handling on *nix.
57 - Fix CFLAGS hard-coded in configure.in
58 - Fix threading bug re: gethostbyname() that caused random
59 URLs to fail in some cases.
62 *** Version 2.9.11 Alpha Changes ***
64 - A web-based editor for the actions file is included (go to http://i.j.b/).
65 - Web-based toggle IJB on/off support.
66 - Cookie handling has changed - the new +no-cookies-keep feature is now the
68 - actionsfile is renamed to ijb.action.
69 - junkbstr.txt is now config.txt on Win32.
70 - Support for running IJB as a UNIX daemon process has improved.
71 - Unix daemon now returns error code on failed start.
72 - Timestamps in logfile and jarfile now.
73 - Fix for the Netscape bug reintroduced in 2.9.9.
74 - make should now abort if gmake (GNU make) not present.
75 - Many other minor bugfixes
76 - Start a ChangeLog :)
80 *** Version 2.9.3 pre-Alpha Changes ***
82 - Amiga support (completely untested by me - I don't have an Amiga)
83 - "tinygif 3" support (redirects blocked images to a specified URL, so
84 the browser doesn't have to load and cache many copies of the same
86 - one case where there were both local and global "referrer" variables
87 (yuck!) clarified by renaming the local one to "refer".
88 - Fixed some places where close() was used instead of close_socket().
89 Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer (joergs at users.sourceforge.net) for these.
90 - Temporary hack to get FORCE_LOAD to work with IE. I just lowercased the
91 FORCE_LOAD_PREFIX. Needs fixing properly.
92 - Most URLs hardcoded into JunkBuster were changed to go through a script
93 e.g. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/redirect.php?v=2.9.3&to=faq
94 The only other URLs left are the GNU GPL:
95 http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html
97 http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/
98 ... and various URLs which will be intercepted by JunkBuster anyway.
99 TODO: Still need to do something with the URLs in JunkBuster Corp's
100 copyright/trademark notice on the bottom of the show-proxy-args page.
101 - PCRE or GNU Regex is now a #define option.
104 *** Version 2.9.2 pre-Alpha Changes ***
106 - Andreas applied the latest version of the FORCE patch.
109 *** Version 2.9.1 pre-Alpha Changes ***
111 - in parsers.c, fixed two #ifdef FORCE to #ifdef FORCE_LOAD
112 (BTW: I think FORCE is precise enough, since loading remote
113 data is the whole purpose of a proxy..)
114 - Set the FORCE_PREFIX (back) to 'IJB-FORCE-LOAD-'. While 'noijb.'
115 is more elegant and looks like a hostname in the URL, it doesn't
116 make clear to the inexperienced user that the proxy is bypassed. It
117 also has a higher name collision risk.
118 - Filled in the function header templates for my functions in
119 parsers.c (again). They obviously got lost in our current
121 - Cut the credit for the §-referrer-option from the config file,
122 that Stefan had placed there.
123 - Improved the re_filterfile
126 *** Version 2.9.0 pre-Alpha Changes ***
128 - Now use PCRE, not GNU REGEX. I have not yet had chance to check the
129 syntax of the block/image/cookie file to ensure that they match what
130 is expected - however they seem to work.
131 - Replaced "configure" script with one generated by "autoconf". Also
132 use a header "config.h" (was ijbconfig.h in my previous release) for
133 the #defines. "config.h" is now generated with "autoheader" from
134 "acconfig.h" and "configure.in". (Note that to install you do not
135 need autoconf or autoheader - just run "./configure".)
136 To see command-line options, run "./configure --help".
137 This is my first ever autoconf script, so it has some rough edges
138 (how PCRE is handled is the roughest).
139 - Error logging code replaced with new module errlog.c, based on the
140 one from JunkBusterMT (but with the threading code removed).
141 - Most of Rodney's 0.21 and 0.21A patches applied. (Marked *). I did not
142 apply all of these, since I had already independently done conditional
143 popup file, conditional image file, and integration of popup code.
144 - ACL, Jar and trust files conditionally compiled.
145 - New source file headers.
146 - Various cosmetic changes. (But I have not consistently ordered the
147 config files - I think that's worthwhile, but it's 1am and I want to
149 - RCS tags on .h files.
150 - RCS tags are const char[] rather than const char *. (Saves 4 bytes
152 - VC++ project files renamed to vc_junkbuster.*.
153 - show-proxy-args now shows status of all conditionals, not just REGEX
154 - Various functions moved around. Most notably all the system-specific
155 sockets code which was spread between jcc.c, bind.c, and connect.c,
156 has been moved to "jbsockets.c". The non-system-specific code from
157 connect.c and socks4.c has been movet to "gateway.c". Also, the
158 config file loader and the global variables it writes to have been
159 moved to "loadcfg.c". (Maybe this should go into loaders.c?)
160 And candidate for the "worst filename ever" award is "miscutil.c",
161 which contains, well, miscellaneous utility functions like zalloc.
162 (Suggestions for a better name for this file are welcome!)
163 - Loaders now use a common function to read a line and skip comments,
164 and this function also stores the proxy_args.
165 - Added ./junkbuster --help (Not for Win32 GUI)
166 - Added ./junkbuster --version (Not for Win32 GUI)
167 - Win32 resources are now all marked as "U.S. English", rather than
168 being a mix of "U.S. English", "U.K. English" and "Irish English".
169 - Version number changes to 2.9.0
