Re: Similar to 'nother acl

Regarding my recent query concerning the squid.conf line that didn't work:
acl ourhosts srcdomain scu.edu.au

After reading Roger's query I now understand that the syntax has changed to:
acl ourhosts srcdomain .scu.edu.au

Thanks for your posting Roger.

I notice that someone else wrote that this information is in the release
notes on the web site. I had already made an extensive reading of the doco
when I made this posting and I still can't find any "release notes" on the
web site. I wonder if this syntax change is worth putting a little note
in the README with the distribution? I certainly could've saved myself some
work if it had been more obviously documented.
