[squid-users] Squid-2.5.STABLE3 released

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is pleased to announce the availability of
the Squid-2.5.STABLE3 bugfix release.

Of the list of bugs corrected only two are classified as major issues:
 * Squid may crash while processing requests for certain domain
   names on certain platforms
 * external acl lookups does not deal well with queue overload

In addition to the two major bugs mentioned above the 2.5.STABLE3
release also fixes many minor or cosmetic bugs discovered since the
2.5.STABLE2 release. Please see the ChangeLog file and Release Notes
for details.

There is no bugs classified as security related issues corrected this
release relative to 2.5.STABLE2, but one of the the minor bugfixes
corrects issues related to external acl access controls where users
may occasionally be rejected access, and there is also major
improvements in digest authentication compability with various
browsers which should make digest authentication a viable alternative
to Basic authentication for stronger protection of users passwords.

All users or Squid are encouraged to upgrade to Squid-2.5.STABLE3 when
possible, but if you today are running 2.5.STABLE2 and are happy with
the stability of the Squid-2.5.STABLE2 release there is no pressing
needs to upgrade.

Regards
The Squid HTTP Proxy team
