Hi! I am trying to understand how accurate the discussion in http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-dev/2015-March/001853.html is nowadays,
That discussion was the latest on Squid numbering. There have been modifications to release timing, but the numbering still follows that plan.
so I can understand the guides in http://wiki.squid-cache.org/DeveloperResources/ReleaseProcess regarding the release process.
Feature changes should be proposed against the "master" branch in our github. If/when accepted they become part of the next Squid-N release series. Which are now on a <https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ReleaseSchedule>.
Point releases within a series should only contain documentation corrections, bug and security vulnerability fixes. Exception may occur at the release maintainers choice.
What I am interested in understanding is if there is a hard commitment on the backwards compatibility between point releases since 4.x. In other words, is there any commitment for no feature changes between 5.x and 5.(x+1)?
Yes. Feature changes should only occur between Squid-(N).x and Squid-(N+m).x with non-0 'm'.
