The Squid Web Proxy developers are pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-2.6 Release Candidate 2, fixing a few issues found in the first release candidate plus a bit of cleanup. Squid-2.6 based on the Squid-2.5 codebase, but has many many new enhancements and new features which have been developed by numerous developers over the last three years and have now been rolled into this formal release. Squid-2.6 is planned to be the last major Squid-2 release. Further development will go into the much awaited Squid-3 train of software which is under active development. Please note that Squid-2.6-RC2 is PRERELEASE software and not intended to be run in a production environment. While we believe this software is likely to be free of major defects, it requires considerably more testing before we can consider it to be stable. This new release can be downloaded from our HTTP or FTP servers http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/ ftp://ftp.squid-cache.org/pub/squid-2/DEVEL/ or the mirrors. For a list of mirror sites see http://www.squid-cache.org/Mirrors/http-mirrors.html http://www.squid-cache.org/Mirrors/ftp-mirrors.html Users who download this software must understand that they will not receive support for this PRERELEASE software once Squid-2.6.STABLE is released. Thus users who are not prepared to upgrade to the final version when it is released or do not have time to file bug reports on any bugs or crashes you encounter with this Release Candidate, should continue to run the Squid-2.5.STABLE branch. We openly welcome and encourage bug reports, which can be entered into the Squid Bugzilla at <url:http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/index.cgi>. The most important new additions in this Squid-2.6 release are: * Major rewrite of the code and simplication of the configuration which handles reverse-proxy or transparently intercepting mode of operation * WCCPv2 support * Support for epoll under Linux and kqueue under FreeBSD for heavily loaded servers * ETag and Vary HTTP header support * Numerous authentication improvements * Enhanced operation and integration into Microsoft Windows For a more information on the individual changes see the Squid-2.6 changes page <url:http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/changesets/>, For more information on changes to squid.conf and other notes related to upgrading from Squid-2.5 see the RELEASENOTES <url:http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/RELEASENOTES.html> This Squid-2.6 software was brought to you by Henrik Nordstrom and the rest of the Squid Web Proxy Development team, and in part based on countless third-party contributions made available over the years. Many thanks to all contributors who have either hired Squid developers for developing new features of submitted new features themselves.
