The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.1.0.14 beta release!
This release contains fixes for a large number of bugs. Mostly annoyance
bugs and behavior corrections.
The most notable change is a collection of bugs within NTLM and
Negotiate authentication. This release builds on many small fixes across
earlier releases with a great simplification of NTLM handling. Which
covers and resolves a wide array of possible issues not formally
reported and a small few which were.
Another fix (Bug 2745) cleans up one final annoyance left after security
advisory 2009:2. This is not a critical problem, but can lead to clients
receiving unnecessary errors (fail-closed) when the network is slowed by
load or long-distance requests.
Some very interesting changes this time around:
- Linux TPROXY support has gained IPv6 capability. With a proviso that
the kernel and associated firewall have been updated to also support it.
We know this has been a blocker problem for some.
- ESI has been fixed up to operate in 'multi-mode' Squid. This means
you can now operate Squid as an ESI accelerator, a non-ESI accelerator
and a forward-proxy in one binary instance if you need to.
- Digest Authentication LDAP has been fixed and now supports TLS.
- Gopher support in 3.x has now been tested and all known issues resolved.
Users of Squid-3.1 needing NTLM, Negotiate, or ESI are encouraged to
move up to this release as soon as possible.
