[squid-users] Squid 3.3.0.3 beta is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.3.0.3 beta release!

This release adds some polish to the 3.3 beta releases and
fixes additional pieces of the CVE-2012-5643 / SQUID-2012:1
vulnerability.

Due to the serious nature of the vulnerability fix the countdown
to 3.3 stable release has been reset.

Other major change to note:

* kqueue I/O functionality has been bumped up to stable status.

This means --enable-kqueue is no longer required on any system
which provides the kqueue dependencies. It will be built by default.

* kerberos_ldap_group now supports groups supplied on stdin.

This means the squid.conf ACL definition can contain a list of
group names which are passed to the helper per-lookup instead of a
fixed set configured in the helper command line.

All users interested in 3.3 features are encouraged to assist
testing this release.

  As usual this release contains all the fixes passed on to 3.2
  series alongside its own changes.

  See the ChangeLog for the list of other minor changes in this
  release.

Please refer to the release notes at

Upgrade tip:
   "squid -k parse" is starting to display even more useful hints
   about squid.conf changes.
