The old -ADNS code has been removed, and the giant (ugly) state machine has -been banished. These have been replaced by a threaded connection -system. Not only did this make the source code cleaner, but it should -improve performance on SMP machines. +Well so much for the 1.4.0 version being the best tinyproxy---there +were bugs. The most serious was that anonymous filtering was not +actually working. Another bug fix is that on Debian systems (and +maybe others) child threads would not be closed if they had been +created after tinyproxy had been started. Finally, if +MaxClientRequests was set to 0, the status of the thread was not going +back to T_WAITING. -Another change to tinyproxy is the new configuration file. Take a look -at doc/tinyproxy.conf for an example of how to configure tinyproxy. If -you have any experience configuring the Apache web server you will -immediately see similarities between the tinyproxy and Apache -configuration files. In other words, we liberally copied from the -Apache style. +Okay, now on to the new features. There is only one feature which is +the new Connect log level. This is basically "Info" without info's +noise. -The access control list (ACL) feature of tinyproxy has been greatly -expanded. tinyproxy now allows you to selectively allow or deny a much -more specific set of IP addresses or subnets. In the same vein, -tinyproxy can be configured to only bind to one address on a -multi-homed machine. +There are a couple of features which I'm working on for the next +release. There has been requests for logging on tunnelled +connections. Also, some people would like HTTP filtering on tunnelled +connections. -If this version is not the best tinyproxy released, than it's pretty -darn close.
\ No newline at end of file +So, the above bugs are fixed, hopefully there are no other ones. The +new features will be worked into the next few releases.
