For more information about Polipo, please see

I'm not really happy about this version, since it still has a number
of known bugs.  However, it would appear to be better in all ways than
the last stable version, so it doesn't make sense to delay it further.

Please find a somewhat incomplete changelog attached.

14 April 2014: Polipo 1.1.0:

  * Proper va_list handling for AMD64 and other RISC-like architectures
    (Juliusz Chroboczek and Aleksandar Kuktin).
  * Implemented work-around for broken Content-Range headers.
  * Use 1024 instead of 32 as the length of the listen queue.
  * Implemented the ability to control the permissions set on the log file.
  * Implemented the ability to scrub private information from logs.
  * Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect logging to syslog (thanks
    to Sami Farin).
  * Tweaked the portable version of mktime_gmt.  This will hopefully
    fix the time issues on Windows.  Thanks to MaxWell and Greg.
  * Changed chunk allocator to use larger arenas on 64-bit arches.
  * Fixed a bug that could prevent saving objects on disk.  Thanks to
    Ming Fu.
  * Fixed a bug that could prevent parsing large headers.  Thanks to
    Ming Fu.
  * Fixed an issue that could cause crash messages to go into the disk
    cache.
  * Fixed a bug that could cause the default chunk memory to be incorrect
    on FreeBSD machines.  Thanks to Frank Behrens.
  * Fixed a number of bugs in the validation of Range requests.  Thanks to
    Ken Brazier.
  * Inhibited range requests for non-200 instances, as this breaks some
    client software.  Thanks to Ken Brazier.
  * Fix a integer overflow in processing client requests.
  * Implement authentication on tunnelled connections.  Thanks to
    Stephen Dolan.
  * Implement ability to include Cache-Control: no-transform in all
    requests.  Thanks to Nick Osborn.
  * Fix a bug in the DNS code that would cause us to ignore CNAMES
    after a DNS timeout.
  * Fixed a crash that occurs when a server sends a malformed
    Cache-Control: header (CVE-2009-3305). Thanks to Stefan Fritsch.
  * Removed support for read-only caches.  Nobody ever used it.
  * Changed the default value of diskCacheWriteoutOnClose to 64kB.
  * Cleaned up naming of Windows support functions. Thanks to Honglei Jiang.
  * Added support for forbidden tunnels (thanks to Richard Zidlicky).
  * Fixed a bug that prevented parsing of extremely long literal IPv6
    addresses (thanks to Jan Braun).
  * Added support for DOS-style absolute pathnames.  Thanks to Gisle Vanem.
  * Fixed a bug that could cause infinite revalidation loops.  Thanks to
    David Rothlisberger.
  * Fixed a bug that could provide incorrect caching information to clients.
    Thanks to William Manley.
  * Support MSVC 2010.  Thanks to Greg Hazel.
  * Work-around buggy clients that send HTTP:// in uppercase.  Thanks
    to David Rothlisberger.
  * Save Cache-Control values to the disk cache.  Thanks to Ruben Alleres.
  * Allow ~ in logFile.  Thanks to P.J. Hades.
  * Fixed a bug that could cause infinite revalidation loops with servers
    that perform sloppy packetisation (IIS, I'm looking at you).
  * Fail expectations on the local interface.  This might or might not be
    what CVE-2011-3596 is about, difficult to say since nobody is speaking
    to me.
