I'm happy to announce the release of mitmproxy 0.9. This is a major release, with huge improvements to mitmproxy pretty much across the board. So much has happened in the year since the last release that it's difficult to pick out the headlines. Mitmproxy is now faster, more scalable, and works in more tricky corner cases than ever before. Full transparent mode support has landed for both Linux and OSX. Content decoding is much nicer, with a slew of new targets like AMF and Protocol Buffers. We now have a WSGI container that allows you to host web apps right in the proxy. In addition to this, there is a myriad of new features, bugfixes and other small improvements.
There are also changes afoot in the project itself. As a first step, I've moved mitmproxy from the GPLv3 to an MIT license. I hope that this will make it easier for people to use the project in more contexts. Keep an eye out for more changes along these lines soon, geared to broadening participation in the project.
