  Catch recently added type of Ad DIVs.

Yahoo et al.: Multi URL Untangler
  Target area tags too (finance.yahoo.com).

Yahoo: Clean up Site:
  Add more ad targets.

<body>: Dim white Backgrounds:
  Don't add our color anymore, if the body tag has neither a bgcolor attribute
  nor a corresponding style value (main reason is to avoid overriding of iframe
  transparency).

CSS: CSS URLs to Mem-StyleSrc:
  Also match "@import 'this.css'" notation.

Block: Ad Functions I:
  Don't test for ad strings in code that writes tags to the page (high risk to
  break pages, tag specific filters do that job better).

<iframe>... Remove: Ad Containers - Ad Links,

June 26th:
==========

<meta>: Look for default Script/Style Type
  Replace bogus Content-Style-Types, as they result in our "display:none"
  values being ignored by Firefox (mallinus.stools.net).

Top Sniff: Sel. File Types:
  Fix for XHTML documents with multiple <?xml?> tags.

<base>: Get absolute Href:
  New filter.  Stuffs the last encountered absolute base href into a global
  variable.

CSS: CSS URLs to Mem-StyleSrc,
<link>: CSS URLs to Mem-StyleSrc,
<script>: Script URLs to Mem-ScriptSrc:
  If an absolute base href is present, use that one for relative URLs instead
  of URL-Expander.

  Simplify matching expression.

Block DOM Modification of Links / JSProperties.ptxt:
  Set childNodes.length to zero as well (wanadoo.fr), disable filter while
  using light settings.

Block: Ad Functions I:
  Somewhat experimental changes, may not hold until the next version.

Mark: Comments:
  Also treat "--!>" as closing tag (like browsers do).

<iframe>: Jump out of invisible iFrames:
  Match iframes inside tables, if former include a "location" script (cjb.net).

<iframe>... Remove/Hide: Ad Containers - Ad IDs:
  Don't remove, just hide <span> blocks, the browser knows best when to
  consider it as closed.

Mark: Inline Scripts, <script> Remove: Ad Scripts - Noscript:
  Fix for "<script><script></script><noscript>AD_STRING</noscript>" constructs,
  where - after removing the ad'ish script/noscript block - the browser would
  see the rest of the page as a broken script.

<a>: URL Untangler:
  Just match opening tag, double byte limit, use $NEST.

<a>: Style Links depending on Protocol:
  remove "mms:" from risky protocol list - often used on news sites.

Mark/Block: Named Script Events / Bottom Add: Various JS Code:
  Bugfix (IE only) for previously added Prox onload event:  Fall back to
  delayed loading of "End of File" functions, if the page contains a script
  with "event=onload" attribute.

IncludeExclude.ptxt:
  Change ".p" alias and PayPal form exception for Key-U's board to hopto.org
  (although dead yet again as of today).

  Various additions/removals/changes.

ProxFunctions.js / Proxomitron menu:
  Declare separate function for Proxomitron's own popups, needed for pages that
  block direct access to "window.open" (eBay).

AdComments.ptxt / AdKeys.ptxt:
  Add some more French strings, as the ads there are difficult to block by path
  ("ad" translates to "pub").


June 18th:
==========

Mark: Various: HTML:
  Flag object blocks.

<object>...: Toggle Flash:
  Also target large object blocks, as long as the needed info isn't further
  than 2KB away from the top.  Fall back to inserting embed block correctly,
  if object block is still too large.

<object>...: Toggle BG Sound:
  Add ".au" extension.  Fix small-dimension test.  Don't scan the same code
  twice, i.e. embed blocks inside object blocks.

<object>...: Toggle Media:
  Don't scan embed blocks inside object blocks.

Header Bot Add: Various JS Code / Bottom Add: Various JS Code:
  Bugfix for previously added Prox onload event:  Only prepend original onload
  function if it's still defined (i.e. hasn't been killed by filters).

Top JS Replace:  Ad Scripts:
  Write back functions without ad signs.

ProxFunctions.js:
  Fix "Remove new Targets from Forms" for IE, if target isn't a string.

IncludeExclude files:
  Add keyword "a_adjsex" to allow external ad scripts.


June 13th:
==========

<iframe> Remove: Trackers:
  Also match iFrames with *either* tiny width or height.  Let the webbug test
  match within scripts as well.

<form> Remove: Ad Actions:
  Fail early, but also block huge forms on hit.

Toggle Flash / Toggle Media:
  Fail early.

IncludeExclude.ptxt:
  Don't spoof IP address for chip.de/download.de download servers.
  Allow PayPal forms at CCSP.

ProxStyles.css:
  Bugfix for Netscape Navigator 4.x.

ProxFunctions.js:
  "End of File" functions moved to onload event.  As a side effect the page
  load timer shows higher but more accurate values.  Debug Mode now shows the
  split time, after the page has loaded, before ProxFunctions does its stuff.

  "Remove new Targets from Links" function replaced by a webfilter.  Less
  accurate, but a lot faster.

  Typo resulting in nasty bug - local JS vars became global and could conflict
  with page code - fixed.

Bugfixes and little optimizations for various filters.
