[squid-announce] Squid 6.13 is available

[Francesco Chemolli]

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
of the Squid-6.13 release

This release is, we believe, stable enough for general production use.
We encourage all users of Squid-6 to upgrade to this version.
It contains:
- several bug fixes
- portability and build improvements
- documentation improvements

Further details, release notes, and source archives can be found at
https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/tag/SQUID_6_13
(look for the "Bootstrapped sources" links there).
As a reminder, we no longer directly distribute our releases
over FTP, rsync, or through mirrors.

Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when upgrading 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".

This is the last version of the Squid 6 series we release before
version 7 is branched tomorrow, the 2nd of February 2025,
as per our Release Schedule
(see https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ReleaseSchedule).

It is only fitting that these releases are happening during FOSDEM,
the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting.
