[squid-users] Squid 4.2 is available ( debian stretch )

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

Thank you for the new release.

If people want to test against Debian, i've create Debian Stretch packages for Squid 4.2 today. 
I am testing them as we speak and if you want to test them, you can find them here: 
https://downloads.van-belle.nl 

I took the Debian squid GIT sources for this rebuild against Debian Stretch.
Build logs are avaible through the dowloads link.
Drop me a note how they are working, if they are ok, i'll put them on my repo.
I've keept all settings the default in these tests. Only enabled the "localnet" 

Im using the following systemd service settings. 

The defaults, +  ( systemctl edit squid.service ) 
# /etc/systemd/system/squid.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
# The default is 1024, increase this if needed.
LimitNOFILE=4096

For squid 4.1, i changed the logrotate file a bit. 
I added systemd part and changed reload to restart, due to assertion fail. 

A part of : /etc/logrotate.d/squid
        postrotate
            if [ -d /run/systemd/system ] && command systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 && systemctl is-active --quiet squid.service; then
                systemctl reload squid.service
            elif [ -f /var/run/squid.pid ]; then
                test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid || /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
            fi
        endscript

After the upgrade to 4.2, i change the restart back to reload, and no assertion failed anymore in 4.2 :-).  

My questions for 4.2 is: 
Anyone any idea why we see 2x "2018/08/13 16:30:57| Created PID file (/var/run/squid.pid)"  in the start up process?  
I notice this in the cache.log, i tested this with a normal start/stop and restart and reboot.

The Log part. ( from a restart )
