[squid-users] Squid 3.2.0.4 beta is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.2.0.4 beta release!

This release brings in a lot of polish and completes one more of the
structural bugs/features before release 3.2 can be made.

Looking at the Changelog it seems like not much changed in this beta.
However a number of bugs in memory consumption were fixed, most of these
were also relevant to the 3.1 series and are thus recorded in the
changelog for 3.1.10. As usual this beta contains all the fixes passed
on to 3.1 series alongside its own changes.

Several regressions in the earlier 3.2 beta have been resolved:
  * a digest auth crash
  * HTCP/ICP request accounting in cachemgr SMP support
  * mem-pools accounting in cachemgr
  * HTTP/1.1 advertisement on CONNECT tunnels
  * the cache_dir min-size option has been ported from 2.x

ICAP and eCAP Adaptation features have improved error recovery and
handling. The result should be less client-visible problems even if they
are noted more often in cache.log.

Kerberos authentication support has been updated to build against recent
changes in GSSAPI libraries.

Dynamic SSL certificate generation has been added. This extension to the
ssl-bump feature reduces client certificate popups.

Logging configuration had an upgrade. The directives useragent_log and
referer_log have been replaced by access_log built-in formats. The
forward_log and log_fqdn directives have been obsoleted. The Apache
"combined" format is now available for use as a built-in (this was
documented earlier but not actually working).

Users of earlier 3.2 beta releases are encouraged to test this beta out
and upgrade as soon as possible.
