--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2003-065 2004-02-04 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : privoxy Version : 3.0.3 Release : 1 Summary : Privoxy - privacy enhancing proxy Description : Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering 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. Privoxy is based on the Internet Junkbuster. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Fixed two memory leaks. Process growth seems 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ 5f8c5cebf24f1b7b6873bc24cf8c4634 SRPMS/privoxy-3.0.3-1.src.rpm 644aa404da1bf5520caa26de854796eb i386/privoxy-3.0.3-1.i386.rpm 53c7fac328773589663e44acd83ba7d6 i386/debug/privoxy-debuginfo-3.0.3-1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
