|  a short while before Christmas, I wrote up a small document pointing to
|  what I would like to get into 2.1 (...)
|  Varnish 2.1 release plan
|  (...)
| 
| Will 2.1 be backwards compatible with vcl and configuration settings
| from 2.0?
|
| ie, will I be able to just upgrade a binary pre-built package and
| restart the server?

Yes, I don't see any need to break backwards compatibility for 2.1.

 i tried doing url.purge .* and url.purge . to no avail.

url.purge .* will only invalidate the pages. They are not actually
evicted from cache. HTTP PURGE or TTL timeout are the only ways to
actually drop a page from cache, except restarting of course.

 how do i make this thing forget?

I guess the easiest would be a restart.

url.purge does not actively go out and remove the objects; they'll be
picked up by the LRU cleaner after a while.

If you need to recover the memory, you can do a quick «stop» and then
«start» in the CLI, but this will naturally nuke your complete cache, so
it can't be used if you just wanted to remove some bits.

 Hi,

 we currently have very many mailing lists:

 varnish-announceRelease announcements and other important news.
 varnish-bugsBug reports go here.
 varnish-commit  Commit messages go here.
 varnish-dev Discussions regarding Varnish development.
 varnish-distDiscussions regarding Varnish releases and packaging
 varnish-miscDiscussions on miscellaneous topics relating to Varnish
 varnish-testFor testing purposes.

 At the same time, we don't have that much traffic, so having a total of
 seven mailing lists seem a bit excessive.

 I suggest we get rid of -dev, -dist and -test.  -announce and -misc will
 be kept as discussion lists.  -bugs and -commit will continue as
 trac-to-email lists (i.e. not discussion lists).

 Comments?

 What are these non-Linux-specific issues to which the document refers?

The lack of a completion indicator + various implementation bugs.  The
only OS I know of that has a usable implementation is FreeBSD 8.
