+## Features (5 PRs)
+
+### PR #98 — Add Dockerfile and GitHub Actions workflow
+- **Author:** meanwhile131 | **Created:** 2026-01-06
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/98
+- **Files:** `.dockerignore`, `.github/workflows/build.yml`, `.gitignore`, `Dockerfile`, `README.md` (+85 lines)
+- **Summary:** Adds a multi-stage Dockerfile (Alpine builder to scratch runtime) and a CI/CD workflow that builds Docker images for 8 architectures (386, amd64, arm/v6, arm/v7, arm64/v8, ppc64le, riscv64, s390x). Images are published to GHCR and statically-built binaries are uploaded as artifacts.
+
+### PR #96 — Add SOCKS5 forwarding rules support
+- **Author:** lwb1978 | **Created:** 2025-12-22
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/96
+- **Files:** `sockssrv.c` (+305/-7 lines)
+- **Summary:** Builds on PR #93's concept. Adds a `-f` flag for forwarding rules that selectively route matching destinations through upstream SOCKS5 proxies with optional authentication. Includes upstream handshake logic, socket timeouts (5s), and `-V` version flag.
+
+### PR #95 — Allow building with Windows + MinGW
+- **Author:** ccuser44 | **Created:** 2025-12-07
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/95
+- **Files:** `dprintf.c` (new), `server.h`, `sockssrv.c`, `wsa2unix.h` (new) (+136/-7 lines)
+- **Summary:** Adds Windows cross-compilation support via MinGW. Provides a `dprintf()` implementation, a `wsa2unix.h` compatibility header mapping Winsock error codes to Unix equivalents, conditional includes for `winsock2.h`/`ws2tcpip.h`, and replaces `poll()` with `WSAPoll()` on Windows.
+
+### PR #93 — Forwarding rules
+- **Author:** ohwgiles | **Created:** 2025-10-04
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/93
+- **Files:** `sockssrv.c` (+126/-3 lines)
+- **Summary:** Original implementation of selective forwarding rules using the syntax `match_name:match_port,[user:pass@]upstream_name:upstream_port,remote_name:remote_port`. Allows microsocks to act as a gateway to remote private networks via upstream SOCKS5 servers. PR #96 is a more complete evolution of this work.
+
+### PR #79 — Add `-B` bind device option
+- **Author:** peppergrayxyz | **Created:** 2024-09-28
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/79
+- **Files:** `Makefile`, `README.md`, `bind2device.c` (new), `bind2device.h` (new), `sockssrv.c` (+73/-4 lines)
+- **Summary:** Adds a `-B` flag to bind outgoing sockets to a specific network interface. Uses `SO_BINDTODEVICE` on Linux and `IP_BOUND_IF`/`IPV6_BOUND_IF` on BSD/macOS. Includes a no-op stub for unsupported platforms. Follows up on issue #29.
+
+## Improvements (1 PR)
+
+### PR #90 — Add timestamps to log output
+- **Author:** ZsBT | **Created:** 2025-09-04
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/90
+- **Files:** `sockssrv.c` (+17/-1 lines)
+- **Summary:** Converts the `dolog` macro into a `static inline` function that prepends `[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS]` timestamps using `localtime_r()` and `vdprintf()`. Also adds a startup log message displaying the listening address and port.
+
+## Fixes (1 PR)
+
+### PR #86 — Fix minor nits in the manual page
+- **Author:** ppentchev | **Created:** 2025-02-14
+- **URL:** https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/86
+- **Files:** `microsocks.1` (+22/-13 lines)
+- **Summary:** Fixes formatting issues in the man page: removes a stray `.Oc` bracket, improves grammar/punctuation in option descriptions (`-i`, `-w`), and applies the FreeBSD documentation convention of starting each sentence on a new line.
+
+## Notable Observations
+
+- **PR #93 and #96 overlap:** Both implement SOCKS5 forwarding rules. PR #96 by lwb1978 explicitly builds on PR #93 by ohwgiles and is more comprehensive (+305 lines vs +126 lines), adding authentication support and socket timeouts.
+- **PR #79 is the oldest** (Sept 2024), adding bind-to-device support — a frequently requested feature (issue #29).
+- **PR #95 (Windows/MinGW)** is marked by its author as "mostly functional" with known caveats around `dprintf`.
+- **PR #86 (man page fixes)** is the most straightforward and lowest-risk change.

Subject: [PATCH 02/15] Update PR analysis with all 11 open upstream PRs

Added 4 previously missed older PRs:
- PR #70: Print timestamps in logs (Xenapte, 2023)
- PR #64: Idle exit timeout -t option (chetan-reddy, 2023)
- PR #38: SO_MARK support for policy routing (grandrew, 2021)
- PR #29: Bind-to-device -B option, Linux-only (tahajahangir, 2020)

Also identified 3 pairs of overlapping PRs (#29/#79, #70/#90, #93/#96)
where later submissions supersede earlier ones.

+- **Summary:** Adds a `-t` flag specifying an idle exit timeout in seconds. When no connections arrive within the timeout period and no active threads exist, the server exits automatically. Uses non-blocking sockets via `fcntl()` and `poll()`. Useful for on-demand launches in resource-constrained environments. Tested on Linux and macOS.

 interface

Add -B flag to bind outgoing sockets to a specific network interface
using SO_BINDTODEVICE on Linux. Requires CAP_NET_RAW or root.

Safety: uses standard setsockopt(SO_BINDTODEVICE). The strdup/zero_arg
pattern matches existing credential handling. No injection vectors.

Subject: [PATCH 06/15] PR #64: Add -t option for idle exit timeout in seconds

When -t is specified, the server exits after the given number of idle
seconds with no connections and no active threads. Useful for on-demand
proxy launches in resource-constrained environments.

Safety: uses standard fcntl(O_NONBLOCK) and poll() for timeout logic.
No new attack surface. Tested on Linux and macOS.

Add LOGTS() macro that prepends [MM-DD HH:MM:SS] timestamps to all
log output using strftime() and thread-safe localtime_r().

Safety: uses standard C library functions (localtime_r, strftime, fputs).
Fixed-size buffer with known output format. No buffer overflows possible.

Subject: [PATCH 08/15] PR #79: Add cross-platform -B bind2device option
 (supersedes PR #29)

Replace Linux-only SO_BINDTODEVICE with cross-platform bind2device module:
- BSD/macOS: IP_BOUND_IF / IPV6_BOUND_IF
- Linux: SO_BINDTODEVICE
- Other: stub returning ENOSYS

Safety: uses standard setsockopt calls with proper error handling.
Platform detection via compile-time preprocessor checks. No-op stub
for unsupported platforms prevents build failures.

Subject: [PATCH 10/15] PR #93: Add forwarding rules for upstream SOCKS5
 proxying

Add -f flag for specifying forwarding rules with syntax:
  match_name:match_port,[user:pass@]upstream_name:upstream_port,remote_name:remote_port

Allows selective routing of matching connections through upstream SOCKS5
proxy servers with optional authentication support.

Safety: protocol buffers are constructed with bounded sizes. The
upstream_handshake validates SOCKS5 responses before proceeding.
sscanf with %m allocates strings safely. The strcpy to namebuf is
bounded by prior parsing (256-byte buffer, validated DNS names).

Subject: [PATCH 11/15] PR #96: Enhanced SOCKS5 forwarding rules (supersedes PR
 #93)

Major improvements over PR #93:
- Wildcard matching: use '*' or '0.0.0.0' as match_name for catch-all rules
- Robust upstream_handshake: reads full SOCKS5 response with proper
  variable-length address handling, validates all write/read return values
- Socket timeouts (5s) prevent hanging on unresponsive upstream proxies
- Proper memory management: frees allocations on all error paths
- Username/password length validation (max 255 per RFC-1929)
- Uses strncpy instead of strcpy for safety
- Adds -V flag for version display

Safety: all network I/O return values are checked. Memory is freed on
every error path. Protocol buffer construction uses bounded sizes.
Socket timeouts prevent resource exhaustion from unresponsive upstreams.

Subject: [PATCH 12/15] PR #95: Allow building with Windows + MinGW (Draft)

Add Windows cross-compilation support:
- wsa2unix.h: maps Winsock error codes to Unix equivalents
- dprintf.c: portable dprintf() implementation for Windows
- server.h: conditional includes for winsock2.h/ws2tcpip.h
- sockssrv.c: WSAPoll() replaces poll(), conditional SIGPIPE handling

Safety: uses standard Winsock API calls via preprocessor conditionals.
No new attack surface. Error code mappings are well-established
standard equivalences. Note: this is a Draft PR, author notes dprintf
may have caveats on Windows.

Subject: [PATCH 13/15] PR #98: Add Dockerfile and GitHub Actions workflow

- Dockerfile: multi-stage build (Alpine builder -> scratch runtime)
  with static linking for minimal image size
- CI workflow: builds Docker images for 8 architectures (386, amd64,
  arm/v6, arm/v7, arm64/v8, ppc64le, riscv64, s390x)
- Publishes to GHCR, uploads statically-built binaries as artifacts
- Added .dockerignore and updated .gitignore

Safety: uses official GitHub Actions from trusted publishers. No secrets
exposed in workflow. Scratch-based runtime image has minimal attack
surface. Static linking eliminates shared library dependencies.
Based on: https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks/pull/98
