[squid-dev] Squid-4 release checklist

[Amos Jeffries]

Hi all,

As you should know, Squid-4 release has been blocked in beta state for
most of a year now.

To make progress the top item on my checklist is that we have these 7
major (or higher) bugs which need to be either fixed or downgraded or
shown that they exist in older versions. When that is done I can move on
to checking the other pieces for a release.

   assertion failed: http.cc:1537:
"!Comm::MonitorsRead(serverConnection->fd)"


* <http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4514>
  Windows Update works via interception ptoxy on 3.5.17, and no works
via transparent proxy on Squid 4.x.

 - FWIW; others have been mentioning various issues with various Squid
versions ever since Windows 10 came out.
 - I am inclined to downgrade this unless someone can reproduce it.

  Secure ICAP segfault in checkForMissingCertificates

* <http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4497>
  CloudFlare and hosted sites cannot be connected via SSL\TLS(with DH)
with NONE/503

 - stuck waiting sufficient information to identify what the problem
actually is. The traces we have so far indicate the network in question
is very noisy with TCP packet retries, duplications, checksum errors,
and outright delivery failures.
 - I am inclined to downgrade unless anyone else is able to reproduce
the issue.

  Memory hits shadow disk entries and vice versa

 - will downgrade unless someone intends to work on it.

 assertion failed: FwdState.cc:270: "!EBIT_TEST(entry->flags,
ENTRY_FWD_HDR_WAIT)"
