Hello

This is to let you know that version 3.0.2 of Privoxy has been released

Release Notes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

3.0.2 is a maintenance release of Privoxy 3.0, which fixes a couple of
bugs, further optimizes the configuration, and adds some minor new
functionality along the way.

We think that the upgrade is worthwile for everybody, but recommend it
especially to users of Mac OSX, and to everyone whose systems enjoy long
uptimes, since they will particularly profit from the included bug fixes
and workarounds.

Oh, and don't ask us what happened to version 3.0.1. We won't tell ;)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog for Version 3.0.2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Fixed two memory leaks, one serious
- Fixed a bug in pcrs which could cause crashes with user-defined filters
- Fixed a bug in domain name matching
- Assorted small fixes (Win32 menu, CGI URL editor, ..)

- Added basic support for the OPTIONS and TRACE http methods
- Added workaround for Bug in Max OSX that made Privoxy crash
  occasionally
- Refined the default action file through >400 items of user feedback
- Filter changes:
  - Assorted refinements, optimizations and fixes in the js-annoyances,
    img-reorder, banners-by-size, banners-by-link, webbugs, refresh-tags,
    html-annoyances, content-cookies and fun filters
  - Replaced filter "popups" by choice between two modes:
    - "unsolicited-popups" tries to catch only the unsolicited ones
    - "all-popups" tries to kill them all (as before)
  - New filter "tiny-textforms" to help those tiny or hard-wrap
    textareas.
  - New filter "jumping-windows" that prevents windows from resizing
    and moving themselves
  - New filter "demoronizer" which fixes MS's abuse of std charsets
    (common cases anyway).
  - Replaced "nimda" with more general "ie-exploits" filter in which
    all filters for IE exploits shall be collected
- Improved cookie logging
- Rewrote make install target. Added uninstall and install-strip
  targets.
- Fixed a potential (application-level, NOT OS-level!) security
  problem involving remote toggling or action file manipulation
  by mailicious websites.
- Added ability to chroot (thanks to Sviatoslav Sviridov)
- Added more action aliases for prehistoric action names
- Added Slackware support to Makefile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE TO UPGRADERS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
