Announcing Privoxy v.3.0.12
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Privoxy 3.0.12-stable is primarily a bugfix release.
|
|
|
|
See http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.12/user-manual/whatsnew.html for details.

ChangeLog for Privoxy
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
*** Version 3.0.12 ***
|
|
|
|
- The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose
|
|
select() implementation modifies the timeout structure.
|
|
Previously the timeout was triggered even if the connection
|
|
didn't stall. Reported by cyberpatrol.
|
|
- The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
|
|
larger than 2GB. Previously the connection was closed too
|
|
early.
|
|
- The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.
|
|
- The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to
|
|
the documentation location specified with the directive,
|
|
not to the Privoxy website.
|
|
- When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything
|
|
to the console unless there are errors before the logfile
|
|
has been opened.
|
|
- The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives
|
|
on the same line as the directives themselves.
|
|
- Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings,
|
|
mostly on 64 bit platforms.
|
|
- The mingw32 version explicitly requests the default charset
|
|
to prevent display problems with some fonts available on more
|
|
recent Windows versions. Patch by Burberry.
|
|
- The mingw32 version uses the Privoxy icon in the alt-tab
|
|
windows. Patch by Burberry.
|
|
- The timestamp and the thread id is omitted in the "Fatal error"
|
|
message box on mingw32.
|
|
- Fixed two related mingw32-only buffer overflows. Triggering
|
|
them required control over the configuration file, therefore
|
|
this isn't seen as a security issue.
|
|
- In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
|
|
is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
|
|
skip reason.

About Privoxy:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for
|
|
enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling
|
|
access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a
|
|
flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and
|
|
tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user
|
|
networks.
|
|
|
|
Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GPL2.
|
|
|
|
Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI).

|
|
|
|
At present, Privoxy is known to run on Windows(95, 98, ME, 2000,
|
|
XP, Vista), Linux (Ubuntu, RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo and
|
|
others), Mac OSX, OS/2, AmigaOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and
|
|
various other flavors of Unix.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the core features of ad blocking and cookie management,
|
|
Privoxy provides many supplemental features, that give the end-user
|
|
more control, more privacy and more freedom:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Can keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them later on.
|
|
|
|
* Supports tagging which allows to change the behaviour based on client
|
|
and server headers.
|
|
|
|
* Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to
|
|
configure browsers individually.
|
|
|
|
* Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and
|
|
client headers.
|
|
|
|
* Can be chained with other proxies.
|
|
|
|
* Integrated browser based configuration and control utility at
|
|
http://config.privoxy.org/ (shortcut: http://p.p/). Browser-based
|
|
tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
|
|
|
|
* Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size,
|
|
invisible "web-bugs", JavaScript and HTML annoyances, pop-up windows,
|
|
etc.)
|
|
|
|
* Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and user
|
|
settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated actions
|
|
files won't overwrite individual user settings.
|
|
|
|
* Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration
|
|
files, and a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
|
|
|
|
* Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
|
|
|
|
* GIF de-animation.
|
|
|
|
* Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
|
|
|
|
* Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
|
|
|
|
* User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g.
|
|
"blocked" page).
|
|
|
|
* Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
|
|
|
|
* Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
|
|
|
|
* Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis,
|
|
configuration more powerful and versatile over-all.
