The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-3.4.0.3 beta release! This release contains the final feature polish for 3.4 series. Changes to note: * key=value pairs returned from authentication and external ACL helpers are now treated as annotations on the transaction. This means the %note log format and ICAP/eCAP adaptation are able to receive and handle custom keys and values from these helpers. All users of prior 3.4 beta releases are urged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. All users interested in 3.4 features are encouraged to upgrade and test this release. As usual this release contains all the fixes passed on to 3.3 series alongside its own changes. See the ChangeLog for the list of other minor changes in this release.
