The Squid HTTP Proxy team is pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.0.STABLE19 release!
This release contains a large number of bug fixes on earlier releases.
The most notable change is a collection of bugs within NTLM and
Negotiate authentication. This release builds on many small fixes across
earlier releases with a great simplification of NTLM handling. Which
covers and resolves a wide array of possible issues not formally
reported and a small few which were.
Another fix (Bug 2745) cleans up one final annoyance left after security
advisory 2009:2. This is not a critical problem, but can lead to clients
receiving unnecessary errors (fail-closed) when the network is slowed by
load or long-distance requests.
There are also a number of other bugs fixed in this release.
- Bug 2739: DNS resolver option ndots can't be parsed from resolv.conf
- Bug 2734: some compile errors on Solaris
- Bug 2541: Hang in 100% CPU loop while extracting header details
using a delimiter other than comma
- Add 0.0.0.0 as a to_localhost address
- ESI: Fix libxml2 magics was failing to be detected sometimes
Squid 3.0 users needing NTLM or Negotiate authentication are highly
recommended to upgrade to this release at the earliest opportunity.
Other 3.0 users are encouraged to upgrade as time permits.
