download experimental v1.90pre2
Changelog
- 1.90pre1
- Much more complex body filtering rules
- Preliminary page blocking by content (not really usable)
- Support for compressed content-concoding; transfer-encoding is ignored, so it may cause major trouble with some http/1.1 servers. Just untested.
- Basic referrer forging support
- Cookie "expires=" field removal support -> you can still use pages which require cookies without major loss of privacy
- Some statistics support (not really usable)
- Removed M$-Windows support- 1.90pre2
- Fixes
Possibly some day to come (version 2.0)
- Site-dependent HTTP-referrers. This way you can open sites directly, which normally can be reached only by clicking a link on a certain site.
- Page blocking based on keywords.
Other things ToDo
- Update/merge the documentation to match the current features. Any volunteers?
- Update documentation coded directly into the program, such as links to the original JunkBuster site, version information, etc..
- Use automake/autoconf to simplify compilation. Separate Makefiles for systems without a sh-compatible shell.
Bugs
- Probably tons of them. This code is hardly tested, although the new body filtering seems quite stable.
Don't hesitate to report bugs. I want to know about them! Please always tell me the exact URL (if the problem is related to a specific site) and your configuration settings.
