OK, So I have just seen that the squid-cache page is not longer parsable for some reason by my ruby script so I changed the source of the squid version to be from github latest release.
If someone wants to write his own build scripting based on the latest release of squid the next can script can be of some help:
it just works...

It already is working, please test it.URLs look like:SQUID_6_12 is the release git tag. They are by convention named SQUID_MAJOR_MINORThe next release file would be namedThere are several ways to track releases, the one I would find the most convenient is via the'gh' tool (https://cli.github.com/) . Its 'release' subcommand is very powerful.

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- 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/latestAny feedback is welcome--Francesco Chemolli
