Hello Squid Users,
Sorry for bothering you once again with this request, but some bugs has been discovered recently and required substantial changes to core components of Squid postponing the Squid-2.5.STABLE7 release for a few days more. We surely hope this is the very last release candidate for 2.5.STABLE7.
The Squid-2.5.STABLE7 release is currently scheduled for Monday Oct 11, but as before it still needs a little more testing before getting a STABLE approval stamp. To aid in this we would be thankful if some of you could test the Squid-2.5.STABLE7-RC3 release candidate before this date in a controlled manner, especially in areas changed by the current patches.
The current release candidate Squid-2.5.STABLE7-RC3 can be found from our web server until Squid-2.5.STABLE7 gets officially released
