WYSISWYG!!! Don't mess this up!!! Careful with linebreaks too, ie
|
2012-05-03 18:32:18 +00:00
|
|
|
the para tag forces a linebreak. Tags need to be carefully placed as a result
|
2012-06-28 03:42:39 +00:00
|
|
|
to avoid extra blank lines, etc.

</para>

<para>

Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and
|
|
|
|
were only released at the end of the development cycle when the code
|
|
|
|
was already believed to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release
|
|
|
|
contained pretty much the same code, but got a higher version number.
|
|
|
|
In the future we intend to release several snapshots between stable releases.
|
|
|
|
There will probably still be about two stable releases per year,
|
|
|
|
but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the two betas we have now.
|
|
|
|
The intentions is to make testing without CVS access easier.

file named 'config' in the current directory (except Win32 which will look

|
|
for 'config.txt'). If no config_file is found, Privoxy will fail to start.

See: 'config', 'default.action', 'user.action', 'default.filter', and
|
|
|
|
'user.filter'. 'user.action' and 'user.filter' are for personal and local
|
|
|
|
configuration preferences. These are all well commented. Most of the magic is
|
|
|
|
in '*.action' files. 'user.action' should be used for any actions
|
|
|
|
customizations. On Unix-like systems, these files are typically installed in
|
|
|
|
/etc/privoxy. On Windows, then wherever the executable itself is installed.
|
|
|
|
There are many significant changes and advances from earlier versions. The
|
|
|
|
<citetitle>User Manual</citetitle> has an explanation of all configuration

options, and examples: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/.

Be sure to set your browser(s) for HTTP/HTTPS Proxy at <IP>:<Port>, or

whatever you specify in the config file under 'listen-address'. DEFAULT is

localhost:8118. Note that Privoxy ONLY proxies HTTP (and HTTPS) traffic. Do not try it

2012-05-03 18:32:18 +00:00
