The most important bug fixes in the Squid-2.6.STABLE5 release are:

      * Some memory leaks corrected, some of which could result in
        denial of service conditions after some time.
      * Assertion failure related to Vary/ETag processing, which could
        maybe result in a denial of service condition.
      * Delay pools now assigns bandwidth fairly among competing
        connections.
      * Port 563 removed from the default set of SSL ports.
