Just for completeness - excerpts from the official announcement which came today: ;-) ***SNIP*** The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-4.5 release! This release is a security and bug fix release resolving several issues found in the prior Squid releases. The major changes to be aware of: * Bug 4253: ssl_bump prevents access to some web contents ... * Redesign forward_max_tries to count TCP connection attempts ... * Fix client_connection_mark ACL handling of clientless transactions ... * Multiple NetDB behaviour updates ... * The logformat code %>handshake is added ... * Use pkg-config for detecting libxml2 ... All users of Squid-4 with SSL-Bump functionality are urged to upgrade as soon as possible. All other users of Squid-4 are encouraged to upgrade as time permits. All users of Squid-3 are encouraged to upgrade where possible. ***SNAP*** The last sentence says it all... Best, Matthias --===============7575780397446196741==--
