Thanks for the reply but this doesn't answer my question.
I now that Squid 3.1 is already released in X.Y.0.z. I just wanted to
know if there is any planned date. If you say, most likely in April,
that's already enough. Just need an approximate date for some internal
plannings.

We don't exactly date things here. With everyone working on voluntary time its unpredictable. Though there has been a fairly regular 4-week cycle for new X.Y.0.z beta releases.

For planning and upgrade testing, 3.1.0.6 is a fairly stable point to begins with.

Back before we/I decided to adopt the fluid feature inclusion we had a set of approved features for 3.1. The last of these given a guarantee of being in 3.1 is still grinding it's way through testing (far too slowly). I expect that will take us through March and maybe April before 3.1 gets a chance of even starting the stable waiting period.

There is also a short list of RC bugs which we consider major enough to need fixing before we call it stable. Many of these bugs are only confirmed to exist in 3.0. But they are serious enough that we really NEED someone who can see them in 3.0 to test 3.1 and confirm they are not still hiding.

Last time I had to guesstimate a timeline I said mid-year (june/july) 2009, I've seen no reason to change it for better or worse yet.

Seeing as its june/july time period now I reckon it's also time for an update.

Since I wrote that in March:
* The last holdout feature mentioned has now been removed from the 3.1 blockers list. * 3.1.0.9 will have everything short of bug fixes included by the end of June.
 * Rollout of official beta packages has begun on OS distributions.
* More RC bugs are appearing, but people are more dedicated than ever to fixing them.

So July 1st is looking like the start of the end-game on 3.1 betas.
