------------------------ WWWOFFLE Announcement ------------------------

The new version of WWWOFFLE is now available (version 2.7c).

This contains a collection of small bug fixes and some small feature
improvements.  The main improvements are a workaround for browsers
that cannot understand multiple cookies on one line and no longer
requesting deflated data due to server problems.


Bug Fixes:
 Install two DLLs for the Win32 version.  Don't crash for HTTP servers that send
 headers prefixed with whitespace.  Make the "edit selected entry" option work.
 Don't write uncompressed data to the cache with a header saying it is
 compressed.  Be more lenient in detecting spiders that cannot make requests.
 The wwwoffle-tools programs now handle dir names as if they had http:// in
 front.  Disallow wwwoffle requests for protocols that WWWOFFLE does not
 handle.  Use the command line config filename in error messages.  Fix to allow
 compilation on SGI IRIX.  Handle XHTML style tags when modifying HTML.  Updated
 setuid/setgid code.  Some memory leaks removed and potential crashes removed
 due to using lint).

New Features:
 Split up Set-Cookie headers since browsers can't handle them.  
 Don't request deflated data since WWWOFFLE and servers don't agree on format.
 Added a form on the monitor options page to stop monitoring a URL.
 The confirm-requests option now asks for confirmation for page reloads.

Documentation:
 Update FAQ to reference privoxy as well as JunkBuster.
 Describe how to modify htdig templates to work with WWWOFFLE.
