Hi Squid Users,
there are some ongoing changes on how we distribute the squid sources; some of them have already happened, some more will happen in the upcoming weeks.
The end state we are aiming to settle on is to distribute Squid via Github Releases (https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases) .
Each Squid release has been and will continue to be tagged in git with the SQUID_MAJ_MIN tag, which will be the official release point. Signed release tarballs will be made available as Github release assets. These are already available at https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases for every squid version from 1.0.0alpha to 6.12.
We will no longer provide patches, these can be obtained from git.

We have decommissioned the rsync and ftp distribution points on www.squid-cache.org, and are no longer advertising Squid mirrors on the website. We are very thankful to Squid mirror operators and volunteers for their continued support through the years.
In the next few weeks we will rework the "Download" section of the squid website (https://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/) to point to Github for downloading instead of self-hosting tarballs, patches etc.
Our plans moving forward:
- we will restart announcing new releases to the squid-announce mailing list
see https://www.squid-cache.org/Support/mailing-lists.html
see https://www.squid-cache.org/Support/mailing-lists.html
- anyone wanting to track Squid releases can:
- use git tags
- use the 'gh' tool from github (https://cli.github.com/)
- rely on the 'releases' github page: https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases
- to only track the latest supported release: https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/latest
Any feedback is welcome
