What’s New in 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.
