[squid-users] Squid 3.3.8 is available

The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
of the Squid-3.3.8 release!

This release is a security bug fix release resolving a security
vulnerability issue found in the prior Squid 3.3 releases.

The major change to be aware of is vulnerability SQUID-2013:3.

This vulnerability affects all prior Squid-3.3 releases and allows
any client to send specially crafted HTTP requests which halt the
Squid service. There are no workarounds.

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

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

Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing upgrade to a new
version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report
any identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation
before you "press go". We are still removing the infamous "Bungled
Config" halting points and adding checks, so if something is not
identified please report it.

Please refer to the release notes at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.3/RELEASENOTES.html
when you are ready to make the switch to Squid-3.3

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