[squid-users] Squid 3.1.0.1 beta is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.1.0.1 beta release!

This release is the first formal release of the 3.1 feature branch.
It is primarily intended as a release candidate for testing, although if
found to be working may be used in any capacity.
Please note however; there are still a number of bugs open.

This release has an emphasis on improved RFC standards compliance and
wider protocol support than previous Squid releases.

As a feature release over 3.0 this resolves many of the large issues
found in the earlier Squid-3 releases which were unable to be resolved
there.

     * Connection Pinning
          (for NTLM Authentication Pass through)
     * Quality of Service (QoS) Flow support
          (Zero Penalty Hit)
     * eCAP Adaptation Module support
          (internal variant of ICAP for faster adaptation)
     * TPROXY version 4.1+ support

Also adding the following new capabilities and enhancements to Squid:

     * Minimal squid.conf
     * Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
     * Error Page Localization
     * Error Page CSS styling
     * SSL Bump (for HTTPS Filtering and Adaptation)
     * DNSv6 extensions
     * FTP extensions

... and many other minor features listed in the ChangeLog
