[squid-users] Squid 3.0.STABLE22 is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.0.STABLE22 release!

A few large and notable changes:

  * Advisory SQUID-2010:1 "Denial of Service issue in DNS handling" is
resolved by this release.

  * A minor regression has been resolved in configuration file parsing
where an error in a sub-include was not halting Squid properly. In some
setups this could result in squid starting with inconsistent
configuration state. This is now fixed.

  * Under certain conditions of variant handling Squid was downloading
entire copies of objects before passing them on to the client. This has
been resolved by this release.

  * An upper limit has been placed on the number of external_acl_type
result entries which may be cached by Squid. Under some configurations
the result cache could grow to consume enormous amounts of memory.
Appearing as if a memory leak was occurring.
   Users are reminded that the external_acl_type has a cache=N
configuration setting to limit the memory used when the format options
may result in numerous variations.

All Squid-3.0 users are urged to upgrade to this release as soon as
possible.
