24 July 2015: mitmproxy 0.13
============================

* Upstream certificate validation. See the --verify-upstream-cert,
  --upstream-trusted-confdir and --upstream-trusted-ca parameters. Thanks to
  Kyle Morton (github.com/kyle-m) for his work on this.
* Add HTTP transparent proxy mode. This uses the host headers from HTTP
  traffic (rather than SNI and IP address information from the OS) to
  implement perform transparent proxying. Thanks to github.com/ijiro123 for
  this feature.
* Add ~src and ~dst REGEX filters, allowing matching on source and
  destination addresses in the form of <IP>:<Port>
* mitmproxy console: change g/G keyboard shortcuts to match less. Thanks to
  Jose Luis Honorato (github.com/jlhonora).
* mitmproxy console: Flow marking and unmarking. Marked flows are not
  deleted when the flow list is cleared. Thanks to Jake Drahos
  (github.com/drahosj).
* mitmproxy console: add marking of flows
* Remove the certforward feature. It was added to allow exploitation of
  #gotofail, which is no longer a common vulnerability. Permitting this
  hugely increased the complexity of packaging and distributing mitmproxy.

3 June 2015: mitmproxy 0.12.1
=============================

* mitmproxy console: mouse interaction - scroll in the flow list, click on
  flow to view, click to switch between tabs.
* Update our crypto defaults: SHA256, 2048 bit RSA, 4096 bit DH parameters.
* BUGFIX: crash under some circumstances when copying to clipboard.
* BUGFIX: occasional crash when deleting flows.

  and many options that were previously manipulated directly via a
  keybinding have been moved there.
* mitmproxy console: Big improvement in palettes. This includes improvements
  to all colour schemes. Palettes now set the terminal background colour by
  default, and a new --palette-transparent option has been added to disable
  this.
* mitmproxy console: g/G shortcuts throughout mitmproxy console to jump
  to the beginning/end of the current view.
* mitmproxy console: switch  palettes on the fly from the options screen.
* mitmproxy console: A cookie editor has been added for mitmproxy console
  at long last.

* Improvements to the mitmproxywrapper.py helper script for OSX.
* Don't take minor version into account when checking for serialized file
  compatibility.
* Fix a bug causing resource exhaustion under some circumstances for SSL
  connections.
* Revamp the way we store interception certificates. We used to store these
  on disk, they're now in-memory. This fixes a race condition related to
  cert handling, and improves compatibility with Windows, where the rules
  governing permitted file names are weird, resulting in errors for some
  valid IDNA-encoded names.
* Display transfer rates for responses in the flow list.
* Many other small bugfixes and improvements.

25 August 2013: pathod 0.9.2
============================

* Adapt to interface changes in netlib

16 June 2013: mitmproxy 0.9.1
=============================

* Use "correct" case for Content-Type headers added by mitmproxy.
* Make UTF environment detection more robust.
* Improved MIME-type detection for viewers.
* Always read files in binary mode (Windows compatibility fix).

  backgrounds.
* Stream flows to file as responses arrive with the "W" shortcut in
  mitmproxy.
* Extend the filter language, including ~d domain match operator, ~a to
  match asset flows (js, images, css).
* Follow mode in mitmproxy ("F" shortcut) to "tail" flows as they arrive.
* --dummy-certs option to specify and preserve the dummy certificate
  directory.
* Server replay from the current captured buffer.
* Huge improvements in content views. We now have viewers for AMF, HTML,
  JSON, Javascript, images, XML, URL-encoded forms, as well as hexadecimal
  and raw views.
* Add Set Headers, analogous to replacement hooks. Defines headers that are set
  on flows, based on a matching pattern.
* A graphical editor for path components in mitmproxy.
* A small set of standard user-agent strings, which can be used easily in
  the header editor.
* Proxy authentication to limit access to mitmproxy
* pathod: Proxy mode. You can now configure clients to use pathod as an
  HTTP/S proxy.
* pathoc: Proxy support, including using CONNECT to tunnel directly to
  targets.
* pathoc: client certificate support.
* pathod: API improvements, bugfixes.

15 May 2013: pathod 0.9 (version synced with mitmproxy)

16 November 2012: pathod 0.3
============================

A release focusing on shoring up our fuzzing capabilities, especially with
pathoc.

* pathoc -q and -r options, output full request and response text.
* pathod -q and -r options, add full request and response text to pathod's
  log buffer.
* pathoc and pathod -x option, makes -q and -r options log in hex dump
  format.
* pathoc -C option, specify response codes to ignore.
* pathoc -T option, instructs pathoc to ignore timeouts.
* pathoc -o option, a one-shot mode that exits after the first non-ignored
  response.
* pathoc and pathod -e option, which explains the resulting message by
  expanding random and generated portions, and logging a reproducible
  specification.
* Streamline the specification language. HTTP response message is now
  specified using the "r" mnemonic.
* Add a "u" mnemonic for specifying User-Agent strings. Add a set of
  standard user-agent strings accessible through shortcuts.
* Major internal refactoring and cleanup.
* Many bugfixes.

22 August 2012: pathod 0.2
==========================

* Add pathoc, a pathological HTTP client.
* Add libpathod.test, a truss for using pathod in unit tests.
* Add an injection operator to the specification language.
* Allow Python escape sequences in value literals.
* Allow execution of requests and responses from file, using the new + operator.
* Add daemonization to Pathod, and make it more robust for public-facing use.
* Let pathod pick an arbitrary open port if -p 0 is specified.
* Move from Tornado to netlib, the network library written for mitmproxy.
* Move the web application to Flask.
* Massively expand the documentation.

5 April 2012: mitmproxy 0.8
===========================

* Detailed tutorial for Android interception. Some features that land in
  this release have finally made reliable Android interception possible.
* Upstream-cert mode, which uses information from the upstream server to
  generate interception certificates.
* Replacement patterns that let you easily do global replacements in flows
  matching filter patterns. Can be specified on the command-line, or edited
  interactively.
* Much more sophisticated and usable pretty printing of request bodies.
  Support for auto-indentation of Javascript, inspection of image EXIF
  data, and more.
* Details view for flows, showing connection and SSL cert information (X
  keyboard shortcut).
* Server certificates are now stored and serialized in saved traffic for
  later analysis. This means that the 0.8 serialization format is NOT
  compatible with 0.7.
* Many other improvements, including bugfixes, and expanded scripting API,
  and more sophisticated certificate handling.

20 February 2012: mitmproxy 0.7
===============================

* New built-in key/value editor. This lets you interactively edit URL query
  strings, headers and URL-encoded form data.
* Extend script API to allow duplication and replay of flows.
* API for easy manipulation of URL-encoded forms and query strings.
* Add "D" shortcut in mitmproxy to duplicate a flow.
* Reverse proxy mode. In this mode mitmproxy acts as an HTTP server,
  forwarding all traffic to a specified upstream server.
* UI improvements - use unicode characters to make GUI more compact,
  improve spacing and layout throughout.
* Add support for filtering by HTTP method.
* Add the ability to specify an HTTP body size limit.
* Move to typed netstrings for serialization format - this makes 0.7
  backwards-incompatible with serialized data from 0.6!

* Significant improvements in speed and responsiveness of UI.
* Many minor bugfixes and improvements.

7 August 2011: mitmproxy 0.6
============================

* New scripting API that allows much more flexible and fine-grained
  rewriting of traffic. See the docs for more info.
* Support for gzip and deflate content encodings. A new "z"
  keybinding in mitmproxy to let us quickly encode and decode content, plus
  automatic decoding for the "pretty" view mode.
* An event log, viewable with the "v" shortcut in mitmproxy, and the
  "-e" command-line flag in mitmdump.
* Huge performance improvements: mitmproxy interface, loading
  large numbers of flows from file.
* A new "replace" convenience method for all flow objects, that does a
  universal regex-based string replacement.
* Header management has been rewritten to maintain both case and order.
* Improved stability for SSL interception.
* Default expiry time on generated SSL certs has been dropped to avoid an
  OpenSSL overflow bug that caused certificates to expire in the distant
  past on some systems.
* A "pretty" view mode for JSON and form submission data.
* Expanded documentation and examples.
* Countless other small improvements and bugfixes.

27 June 2011: mitmproxy 0.5
===========================

* An -n option to start the tools without binding to a proxy port.
* Allow scripts, hooks, sticky cookies etc. to run on flows loaded from
  save files.
* Regularize command-line options for mitmproxy and mitmdump.
* Add an "SSL exception" to mitmproxy's license to remove possible
  distribution issues.
* Add a --cert-wait-time option to make mitmproxy pause after a new SSL
  certificate is generated. This can pave over small discrepancies in
  system time between the client and server.
* Handle viewing big request and response bodies more elegantly. Only
  render the first 100k of large documents, and try to avoid running the
  XML indenter on non-XML data.
* BUGFIX: Make the "revert" keyboard shortcut in mitmproxy work after a
  flow has been replayed.
* BUGFIX: Repair a problem that sometimes caused SSL connections to consume
  100% of CPU.
