The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-4.0.14 release! This release is a bug fix release resolving several issues found in the prior Squid releases. The major changes to be aware of: * Bugs #4404 and #4503: access.log responses marked _ABORTED The past few Squid-4 releases have incorrectly logged several transaction types as ABORTED. This hopefully resolves the remaininginstances of that behaviour. * Make Squid death due to overloaded helpers optional Previous Squid versions would halt the entire Squid process if a helper became too non-responsive and its lookup queue became overloaded. This release allows the Squid handling behaviour to be configured to simulate an ERR helper response instead of always halting. * Crashes on shutdown The Squid shutdown process when set to a short timeout was crashing while cleaning up idle ICAP connections. This resolves the ICAP issues, however some other sources of shutdown crash still remain to be fixed. * Various HTTP/1.1 compliance updates Previous Squid releases have a number of compliance issues with RFC 7230 updated HTTP specifications. This release fixes several issues involved with detecting invalid message framing and required error reponse generation. * General portability and stability changes This release also includes a large number of code cleanup fixes too small to mention individually, but which resolve a lot of portability and build issues. The release size appears to be very large, however the majority of alterations are in documentation and translation updates for Squid-4. All users of Squid-4.0.x are encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. All users of Squid-3 are encouraged to test this release out and plan for upgrades where possible. See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and earlier releases.
