The most important bug fixes / additions in the Squid-2.5.STABLE13
release are:

        [Major] connstate related memory leak plugged. A potential
        denial-of-service due to excessive memory usage if not noticed
        in time. (#1522)
        
        [Medium] ftp upload issues fixed. Uploaded ftp:// objects got
        truncated if the transfer took more than read_timeout to
        complete. (#1459)
        
        [Medium] delay pools given too much bandwidth after "-k
        reconfigure". Previously the pools got assigned the double
        bandwidth they should have (or more depending on how many times
        you reconfigured Squid). The issue where currently running
        requests are no longer limited by the delay pools after a
        reconfigure still exists however. (#1481)

In addition there is a number of minor bugfixes and cosmetic
enhancements to further improve your experience of running Squid:

        [Minor] Fails to compile on Solaris and some other platforms
        with undefined reference to setenv (#1435)
        
        [Cosmetic] Added WebDAV REPORT method to know HTTP methods list
        
        [Minor] Squid ntlm_auth (not the Samba provided one) giving odd
        results if --enable-ntlm-fail-open is used (#1022)
        
        [Minor] wbinfo_group.pl doesn't work with Samba 3.0.21 and later
        (#1472)
        
        [Minor] Squid crash when asyncio function counters url accessed
        from Cachemgr CGI (#1464)
        
        [Cosmetic] Linix compile warning about prctl called with too few
        arguments (#1483)

        [Minor] Some 206 responses logged incorrectly (#1511)

        (#1428)

        negotiating persistent connections (#1447)
