The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-5.8 release!
This release is a bug fix release resolving several issues
found in the prior Squid-5 releases.
The major changes to be aware of:
* Bug 5162: mgr:index URL do not produce MGR_INDEX template
This bug shows up as Squid producing just the text "mgr_index" instead
of the intended template contents when the cache manager API is
requested. Breaking the use of third-party cache management tools and
also cachemgr.cgi auto-detection of support for those tools.
* Bug 5241: Block all non-localhost requests by default
This release changes the default squid.conf to disable the rule:
http_access allow localnet
This change affects new Squid installs only.
* Bug 5241: Block to-localhost, to-link-local requests by default
This release adds a predefined ACL named "to_linklocal" which matches
traffic attempting to access link-local network services. Such traffic
can be a problem for proxy operating within Cloud services or container
hosting.
Squid installations which have enabled:
http_access deny to_localhost
May wish to also enable:
http_access deny to_linklocal
All users of Squid-5 are encouraged to upgrade as soon as
possible.
Users of Squid-4 holding back due to earlier release issues
are encouraged to test this version for upgrade.
See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and
earlier releases.
