In the past some patches have been submitted after the merge window closed and had to be deferred to the next Core Update to the frustration of the submitters. Therefore, we now try this and hope that we can make the process better for everyone who is contributing!

Thanks for the reminder, but regarding this Core update, one question is
bothering me:

Did anyone had the chance to test 'squid 4.5' - especially along with
this commit
(https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=eedca6e36c1131ce5542da5ccbfbb5667648c024
=> "squid: Run as many redirectors as we have CPU cores") - in a
productive environment?

During my first tests, I got occasional warnings like "idnsSendQuery FD
8: sendto: (1) Operation not permitted" or "WARNING: All 2/2 redirector
processes are busy" in squid 'cache.log' and I'd like to clarify
possible mistakes in advance.

By now, I'm running the untuned parameters from current 'next' and these
errors haven't appeared for some time now. Furthermore, 'testing tree'
exists, ( ;-) ) but did anyone had a chance to try this?

Best,
Matthias
