Hello,
This is quite good that we finally have a stable release of this (am I right that 4.4 wasn’t considered to be stable?).
'squid 4.4' was "stable", too:
In July 2018, 'squid 4' was "released for production use", see: https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Squid-4
Why do they compare everything to squid 3.5 then?
No idea. Perhaps to make upgrading easier for people running (huge/complex) 3.x-installations? They even still list "missing squid.conf options available in Squid-2.7"! ;-)
But as I read it, 3.x will not be continued, see:
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/RoadMap/Squid3
"We are no longer releasing new Squid series with 3.x numbers."
Best, Matthias
This however removes support for the SMB_LM helper which we still use and I will have to remove that from the CGI. We will have to announce that properly, but I do not think that it is a huge problem because this is Windows 2000 era. Hopefully nobody is using that any more.
I'm not an expert for this - never used it -, but I found this on the above website:
"Major UI changes: ... basic_msnt_multi_domain_auth: Superceeded by basic_smb_lm_auth …"
The latter is not being compiled any more. You removed it from the rootfiles.
Best, Matthias
Apart from that, I hope that we can now stay on the releases in this series until there is a new one.> Best, -Michael
