I am unable to separate many of the bug fixes from most other changes in that commit. I am a fan of surgical fixes, but, sometimes, significant code changes are required to address a set of bugs. One could, of course, ignore most of the bugs fixed by the official commit and just make sure that v5 does not violate the opening() MUST that triggered this thread, but I see no point in doing that -- we will end up chasing one known bug after another, sometimes in circles, and often via painful triage. > Others include altering the fundamental AsyncJob API behaviour - > affecting every feature in Squid at their most fundamental levels. I disagree with the above summary. > That amount of change is not going into a "stable" release of > Squid. FWIW, IMHO, Squid v5 is much better with those changes than it is without them. Once tested, the changes do not violate any fundamental stability principles that I know of. However, I think it is best to let the maintainer (i.e. you) make v5 admission decisions. I am just providing feedback to facilitate informed decisions. > I will consider patches for just the bug 5055 issue though. To avoid misunderstanding, (the backport of) the official set of fixes is what I am offering for your consideration. If others can address all those bugs using smaller patches, great! Otherwise, I recommend backporting the comprehensive fix and am happy to assist with that.
