About Privoxy:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting
privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access,
and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk.
Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit
individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone
systems and multi-user networks. It is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Notes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the another maintenance release of Privoxy which fixes more bugs,
further refines the configuration based on half a year's worth of user
feedback, and works around some known third-party problems.
Upgrading from 3.0.2 is recommended.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog for Version 3.0.3:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed yet another two memory leaks. Process growth looks stopped now.
- Further tightened security against malicious toggle-off links.
- Excluded text/plain MIME types from filtering. This fixes a
couple of client-crashing, download corruption and
Privoxy performance issues, whose root cause lies in
web servers labelling content of unknown type as text/plain.
- Assorted fixes for POSIX compliance, signal handling, graceful
termination, compiler warnings, OSX support, Win32 systray,
error logging, hostname wildcards, correct detection of NetBSD.
- Workarounds for client (iTunes etc) and server (PHP < 4.2.3) bugs
including the notorious "blank page" problem.
- Various filter improvements; most notably the unsolicited-popups
filter became less destructive
- Major revamp of the actions file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE TO UPGRADERS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading from 3.0.2 shouldn't require any particular caution. Note,
however, that you can dump any exceptions that you might have made in
user.action to work around the (now-fixed) "blank page" problem.
Upgraders from 3.0.0 should look out for the new (and gone!) filters, and
adapt their custom configurations accordingly. Most notably, the "popups"
filter is gone and has been replaced by two variants: "all-popups" that
kills all popups, and the new "unsolicited-popups" which tries to spare
the requested ones.
