I agree. Duane and I hope to see Squid3 stable in our environments by the end of 2005 or so. This does not include design fixes (an on-going effort) and features we can live without (e.g., NTLM authentication, LDAP support, or Windows port). If more folks start focusing on Squid3 stability problems (excluding new features), we can indeed see an official STABLE designation within months, I guess. On the other hand, we failed to find Squid developers with enough spare cycles last time we shopped around. Still looking... Alex.
