The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
of the Squid-3.5.1 release!


This release is we believe, stable enough for general production use.

Support for Squid-3.4 bug fixes has now officially ceased. Bugs in 3.4
will continue to be fixed, however the fixes will be added to the 3.5
series. All users of Squid-3.4 are encouraged to plan for upgrades.


A short list of the major new features is:

 * Collapsed Forwarding (ported from Squid-2.7)
 * eCAP version 1.0 support
 * SSL peek-n-splice
 * Authentication helper query extensions (see auth_param)
 * Caching large (>32KB) objects in Rock storage
 * Extended cache HIT/MISS decision control (see send_hit, store_miss)
 * Support named services
 * Upgraded squidclient tool
 * Helper support for concurrency channels
 * Native FTP protocol relay
 * Initial support for PROXY protocol
 * Basic authentication MSNT helper changes

Several features have been removed in 3.5:

 * COSS storage type has been superceded by Rock storage type.
 * dnsserver helper has been superceded by DNS internal client.
 * DNS helper API has been superceded by DNS internal client.

Further details can be found in the release notes or the wiki.

Please be aware that for the SSL-Bump peek-n-splice feature the
ssl_bump directive configuration has changed. Some testers have found
it may require manual attention to redesign the bumping configuratio
on upgrade. Squid does perform auto-upgrade as best it can, but the
result may not meet the intended policy behaviour.
 http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ssl_bump/


Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing upgrade to a new
version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report
any identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation
before you "press go".

Squid is beginning to enforce stricter configuration file syntax and
case sensitivity in 3.5.


All feature additions are considered *experimental* until they have
survived at least one series of releases in general production use.
Please be aware of that when rolling out features which are new in
this series. Not all use-cases have been well tested yet and some may
not even have been implemented. Assistance is still needed despite the
releases general stability level.


Plans for the next series of releases is already well underway. Our
future release plans and upcoming features can be found at:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/RoadMap/Squid3


 See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and earlier
 releases.

 All users of Squid-3.5 beta releases are urged to upgrade to this
release as soon as possible.
