- Database initialization now works better.
- Can now use a remote database by setting the $DB_SERVER config variable.
- Many bugs fixed or worked around, and privacy holes closed.

New in CGIProxy 2.1.7 (Jul 27, 2013)
- CGIProxy now has message localization: The user can choose an interface in Arabic, English, Farsi, Russian, or Turkish. If you would like support for other languages, please consider translating CGIProxy's messages-- see http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/translate.html for full details.
- The full facebook site now works almost fully through CGIProxy, so it's no longer redirected to the mobile site by default. If it's slow for you or your users, see the comments and suggestions above where %REDIRECTS is set.
- Running under FastCGI now works on servers other than just nginx.
- Resuming partial downloads is now supported, with partial support of the Range: header.
- The JavaScript library (jslib) is now gzipped when possible, to save bandwidth. Should have done this a while ago.
- Fixed error with "-c" in usage message; sorry about that.
- Added support for Content-Security-Policy: header, though it's disabled until the header is better defined and browsers support it.
- Many bugs fixed, making many sites work better.
New in CGIProxy 2.1.6 (Feb 5, 2013)
- Now can run as a FastCGI script.
- Now can run without an external HTTP server, by using its own embedded secure HTTP server.
- Installation is easier, as Perl modules can be automatically installed (including under your home directory) by running "./nph-proxy.cgi install-modules" from the command line. See the $LOCAL_LIB_DIR config option, if you need to install the modules and you're not root.
- Windows support has improved.
- Documentation has been improved, especially for installation.
- Command-line usage is now documented; run "./nph-proxy.cgi -?" for usage.
- There are some new config options, mostly for FastCGI support, the embedded server, and database support.
- Some of the configuration section has been rearranged; most potentially needed config options are now near the top.
- Fixed a bug handling spaces in path when using proxy_encode().
New in CGIProxy 2.1.5b (Nov 12, 2012)
- Added redirection for Gmail to %REDIRECTS ; redirects to HTML-only version.
New in CGIProxy 2.1.5 (Oct 23, 2012)
- Now optionally uses a server-side database to store cookies, which fixes "Bad Request" errors when user has too many cookies. Can use either MySQL or Oracle. Configure this with $DB_DRIVER, $DB_USER, $DB_PASS, and $USE_DB_FOR_COOKIES .
- Now supports a simple mechanism to automatically redirect pages that aren't handled well by CGIProxy. For example, www.facebook.com is redirected to m.facebook.com (mobile), until we can get www.facebook.com working better. This is configured with the %REDIRECTS hash.
- 17 bugs fixed, mostly in JavaScript support but some in Flash and HTML support too.
