The above summary is inaccurate, IMO. Currently, Squid3 is better for some production environments and Squid2 is better for some other production environments. If you need ICAP/eCAP, SSL Bump, IPv6, or other new features, try Squid3. If you do not need those features, there is no pressure and you can benefit from Squid2 proven stability and recent improvements that have not been ported to Squid3 yet. HTH, Alex.
