Building was ok - installing was ok. I checked the release notes and on
the first glance didn't find anything we would need to worry about. Will
take a closer look on weekend.

But...:

5.1 is permanently complaining about filedescriptors and I couldn't find
the reason for this so far. Even if I reduce the number during build to
32768 (this is supposedly his maximum), it keeps complaining:

...
2021/08/03 19:19:03 kid1| NOTICE: Could not increase the number of
filedescriptors
2021/08/03 19:19:03 kid1| With 4096 file descriptors available
...

And - it seems that it doesn't like 'privoxy'. Everything seems to
work(!), no seen problems(!), but with 'squid 5.1' I'm getting these
sporadic messages in 'cache_log':

...

Somehow I don't like this. Will report, if I find the reason.

Best,
Matthias
