Squid 3.4.1 is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
of the Squid-3.4.1 release!


This release is we believe, stable enough for general production use.

Support for Squid-3.3 bug fixes has now officially ceased. Bugs in 3.3
will continue to be fixed, however the fixes will be added to the 3.4
series. All users of Squid-3.3 are encouraged to plan for upgrades.


A short list of the major new features is:

 * Helper protocol extensions
 * SSL Server Certificate Validator
 * Store-ID
 * TPROXY Support for OpenBSD 5.1+ and FreeBSD 9+
 * Transaction Annotations
 * Multicast DNS


Further details can be found in the release notes or the wiki.

Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing upgrade to a new
version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report any
identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation
before you "press go".
Squid is beginning to enforce stricter configuration file syntax and
case sensitivity in 3.4.


All feature additions are considered *experimental* until they have
survived at least one series of releases in general production use.
Please be aware of that when rolling out features which are new in this
series. Not all use-cases have been well tested yet and some may not
even have been implemented. Assistance is still needed despite the
releases general stability level.


Plans for the next series of releases is already well underway. Our
future release plans and upcoming features can be found at:

 See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and earlier
 releases.

 All users of Squid-3.4 beta releases are urged to upgrade to this
release as soon as possible.
