Maybe. My patches are made from an incremental source tree, patched with
NLANR patches from time to time. See the head of the snapshot patch for
a full cronological changelog if you are interested in all the details.

Correct. However, the cronological order is the reverse of the listed
order, file dates or Squid version numbers are irrelevant. I thought I
had spelled this out in the section description(s)?

The lists are patches which apply to that specific version. Patches
appering in both the 2.2.STABLE5 and 2.2.DEVEL3 lists apply to both
versions. The list of old 2.2 patches not yet updated to 2.3 version is
only that.

All my patches for 2.2.STABLE5 are listed in the "My patches to
2.2.STABLE5" section.

If you'd like to take the simple path then grab the snapshot. It is one
huge patch with all my patches and most NLANR patches (I try to include
them all, but sometimes there is a slight delay if NLANR has released a
patch of recently).

Thanks. I hope you enjoy the patches.
