The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-3.4.2 release! This release is a bug fix release resolving several major issues found in the prior Squid releases. The major changes to be aware of: * Bug #3806: Caching responses with Vary header This resolves a regression since Squid-3.2 which prevented HIT for responses with Vary headers. * Bug #3980: FATAL ERROR due to max_user_ip -s option Squid-3.4.1 and older betas could not load configuration files with the max_user_ip ACL -s (strict) flag. * Regression \-unescaping in quoted strings from helpers This issue causes constant authentication failures with NTLM. It can also affect Negotiate authentication when Negotiate/NTLM is being supported by the helper (for example; using negotiate_wrapper). * Regression in URL helper API This issue shows up as URL re-write and redirect helpers written for older Squid versions appearing to bypass wheneer the redirected-to URL contains an '=' character. All users of Squid-3.3 with caching are urged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. All users of Squid-3.4 are urged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. All other users of older Squid versions are encouraged to plan for upgrade to this version as time permits. See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and earlier releases.
