Importance (low/medium/severe) and scope of required work (trivial/normal/high).

[x] adblock2privoxy compilation fail with GHC 8.4.3 https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/25 fix compilation Medium - A2P still can be used with GHC 8.0, but needs to be future proof, severity would increase as time passes and older GHC would be phased out from distros Normal - Proposed solution seems not to severe to achieve and there are many examples titled tweak for ghc-8.4
[ ] TODO: remove matched element conversion https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/24 implement new feature Medium - Most elements are removed by created css files after conversion of ## rules, but some sites require that browser completely does not know existence of certain elements therefore they need to be removed prior to being feed to the client High - Design feature from ground up
[x] translated records get dot in front which has adverse effects https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/23 use prepared patch to fix rules for privoxy Severe - Without this many false positive catches may happen Trivial - patch is ready for implementation
[x] disregarding information following $ https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/22 implement new feature Severe - Adblock is designed to use filters on certain conditions such as ~third-party to specify whether filter should be used on third-party or first domains. Current implementation uses that filter for all conditions High - Requires writing similar converter as in case of ab2p-popup-filter or ab2p-handle-as-image-s but also for script, stylesheet, subdocument and others
[x] empty rules https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/21 add exceptions for conversion of rules not leading to any host or particular pattern Low - workarounds are present Normal - Probably requires few regex additions to current converter implementation
[x] element hidding whitelists undesired behaviour https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/20 redesign whitelist expception handling Low - workarounds are present & it could interfere with browsing only or rare Normal - Probably requires few regex additions to current converter implementation
[x] *easylist go.. rule breaks many sites** https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/19 use prepared patch to fix rules for privoxy Severe - Without this many false positive catches may happen Trivial - patch is ready for implementation
[x] adblock2privoxy segmentation fault https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/18 make sure element hiding directory is empty before new rules are created Severe - typical race condition which in worst case scenario can lead to system crash Trivial - if exists rm -r ${css_dir}\* before any ## rules are created
[x] ab2p.common.css causes breakage on some sites https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/17
separate ab2p-elemhide-common-filter from ab2p-elemhide-filter
add all hosts from rules with $generichide to {-filter{ab2p-elemhide-common-filter}}

Medium - about 1% of all sites using element hiding rules may not use generic hide Trivial/High - Above steps are trivial, but getting converter to process all $generichide rules an add them in right way required coding new feature from ground up

[x] version string of filter is truncated if it not composed only of digits https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/16 cosmetic change to the task file Low - does not change any behavior of converter, just descriptive value Trivial - small change required
[x] expired rules are not used https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/15 implement way for a2p to use other filtersets than only those designed for adblock (eg. adguard) Low - without this quite number of rules are skipped, but workaround is present Normal - several conditions may have to be added for accepting list other than those for adblock
[x] conversion errors - not abp specific https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/14 related to bug 22 as it requires additional convertions currently not implemented
/#
?
Low - cases are rare and in case of #?# undocumented, but they happen Normal - Few changes in regex may be needed to address this issue
[x] unblock rules too unspecific for certain sites https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/13 duplicate of issue 17, but better describes problem
[ ] add support pre-processor directives for filters https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/12 use only filters which will be understood Medium - cases where several approaches are taken for specific software to handle given problem are out there and specially present in lists designed for adguard High - Implement feature from ground up
[x] css file could use new line for site specific rules https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/11 implement proper :style() conversion for css files
High - Over 10 thousands rules Trivial/High - trivial if only Elements=4000 is changed to Elements=1, but may be high as would require change to way in which css files are created
[x] Double rules on filters are too broad https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/10 limit converter to generate only one rule line per record Medium - I would say high as it leads to creating too many broad rules, but workarounds are present Normal - probably requires fixes here and there
[x] privoxy crash due to bad filter combination https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/7 simple template change, fix ready Severe - without fix privoxy crashes Trivial - patch is ready
[x] adblock2privoxy errors out on several records https://github.com/essandess/adblock2privoxy/issues/6 implementing new conversion methods where privoxy needs to inject javascript High - affects hundreds of pages which require parts of scripts to be blocked prior to being used by the browser High - Design feature from ground up
