The Squid Web Proxy developers are pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-2.6.STABLE1 release, celebrating the 10 years anniversary of Squid. Squid-2.6 is based on the Squid-2.5 codebase, but has many new enhancements and features which have been developed over the last three years while Squid-2.5 has been in it's feature frozen STABLE cycle, and these have now been rolled into this formal Squid-2.6 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. 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 The release has passed a wide array of quality checks and is the current release recommended for production use. With this release Squid-2.5 is no longer actively maintained as the developers will focus on the current releases (i.e. 2.6 for production and 3.0 for development/test) The most important new additions in this Squid-2.6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 with and 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> We openly welcome and encourage bug reports should you run into any issues with the new release. Bug reports can be entered into the Squid Bugzilla database at <url:http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/index.cgi>. This Squid-2.6 software was brought to you by Henrik Nordstrom and the rest of the Squid Web Proxy Developer team, and is 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.
