I see nothing attractive in Squid v3.0.

I don't mean to imply any criticism of the Squid developers.  Indeed, I am 
grateful for their efforts over the years.  It is just that the feature 
set of 3.0 is not geared to my needs.

The ICAP/ESI and authentication improvements seem geared to large 
installations (corporate use), but that's not my environment.  I don't 
run a hierarchy of web proxies.  I have a single Squid installation which 
I use for client performance and bandwidth reduction purposes on a small 
Linux network

What I want is a fast, stable web proxy.  Really, the only desired 
enhancement that comes immediately to mind is full HTTP v1.1 compliance.

Until 3.0 I always ran the current version of Squid.  I'm currently 
running 2.6S18.  My expectation is that my next version of Squid will be 
either 2.6S19 or 2.7S1, depending on how the developer politics shake 
out.

There's nothing terribly wrong with Squid v3.0, but nothing terribly 
desireable about it either.
