Hi! I am trying to understand how accurate the discussion in

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'.

HTH

It does. Thanks, Amos!
