[squid-users] Squid 3.4.2 is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
of the Squid-3.4.2 release!

This release is a bug fix release resolving several major issues
found in the prior Squid releases.

The major changes to be aware of:

* Bug #3806: Caching responses with Vary header

This resolves a regression since Squid-3.2 which prevented HIT for
responses with Vary headers.

* Bug #3980: FATAL ERROR due to max_user_ip -s option

Squid-3.4.1 and older betas could not load configuration files with the
max_user_ip ACL -s (strict) flag.

* Regression \-unescaping in quoted strings from helpers

This issue causes constant authentication failures with NTLM. It can
also affect Negotiate authentication when Negotiate/NTLM is being
supported by the helper (for example; using negotiate_wrapper).

* Regression in URL helper API

This issue shows up as URL re-write and redirect helpers written for
older Squid versions appearing to bypass wheneer the redirected-to URL
contains an '=' character.

 All users of Squid-3.3 with caching are urged to upgrade to this
release as soon as possible.

 All users of Squid-3.4 are urged to upgrade to this release as soon as
possible.

 All other users of older Squid versions are encouraged to plan for
upgrade to this version as time permits.

 See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and earlier
 releases.
