[squid-announce] Squid 5.9 is available

[Francesco Chemolli]

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-5.9 release!


This release is a bug fix release resolving some issues
found in the prior Squid releases.

The major changes to be aware of:

* Improve reply_body_max_size matching accuracy

This bug shows up as cache.log entries at debug level >=3
stating "HttpReply.cc(..) receivedBodyTooLarge: (negative number) >? -1"

In such cases, reply_body_max_size configuration would be
ignored, resulting in undercounting of traffic.

* Fix build issues highlighted by the most recent versions of
  GCC and Clang.

* Portability fixes for ESI, bundled GnuRegex, and GnuTLS


All users of Squid-5 are encouraged to upgrade as time permits.

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