-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Kinkie brought up the idea of a Squid 4.x release in IRC.
I have mentioned to a few clients who asked when 4.0 would be out that we will probably want it to be a big reason, like changing the language was between the 2.x to 3.x versions. I have usually had in mind a change along the lines of: - libraries building with Erlang/Ada/Go, or - redesigning the whole packaging structure (but we already have SourceLayout without it), or - redesigning the event processing system (but we already did AsyncJob without it). Then again, we actually *are* planning a language change in the next few months. The C++03 to C++11 transition will bring with it a relatively large bump in the minimum toolchain and thus OS support. So while it's not a radical change it is probably worth considering as a good reason for calling the next series 4.0. If we do so we would also need to treat 3.5 as somewhat of an LTE release. That was on the cards anyway for older OS with backports having the same criteria of building on C++03 compilers. The version bump would make it somewhat formal though with us needing to take on the maintenance instead of punting it off to commercial or distro support teams. Are we prepared as a group to go for that? We have most of the coming year to think about this. I just thought I would poke the idea out there early to get maximum length of consideration.
