My list of critical bugs:

   - Many of the 2.5 patches not yet forward ported or othewise solved
     (many thanks to Guido for working hard at this)

   - Bug #624: Assertion error on bad range requests

   - Bug #772: Problems with failed PUT/POST requests

   - Bug #829: icp_access denied assertion failure

   - Bug #897: Extra CRLF Added After Headers

   - Bug #1155: ESI parsers need to be made modular

   - Bug #1201: assertion failed: cbdata.cc:402: "c->locks > 0"

   - Bug #1224: Segmentation fault on failed PUT/POST request

   - Bug #1233: Squid-2.5.STABLE8RC4 Problem with website using gzip compression

I haven't yet inclued 1244 in this list, and I don't even consider 1218 as
a blocker for Squid-3.0.STABLE (just slightly annoying).

And a lot of bugs...

And would also lure more people into running this in production, even when
we know it is not close to production quality.

For me a PRE release is a milestone where we are reasonably confident in
the stability but which may not yet have all the planned features. And I
am sorry but the current shape of Squid-3 is not there.
