For those who have not been on the #squid-dev IRC channel lately I can tell that the last weeks has been quite interesting.
The most significant news is that Doug Dixon (aka ganso on the IRC) has volunteered for the role as Squid-3.0.PRE4 release manager. Expect a message from him shortly presenting his ideas on how we can get there. To follow up on a few questions from him regarding the current state: The Squid-3 tree is currently best described as in DEVEL state, even if it is carrying a PRE tag. The reason to this is that the original Squid-3.0 release cycle could not be met due to various events and the tree had to be unlocked again to allow for new developments. The goal now should be to be able to enter PRE state again, with ultimately a PRE4 release from where we can work towards the STABLE release. I do not think there is any major changes waiting in queue for getting into Squid-3, and imho "minor"/"isolated" features like WCCPv2 or a improved COSS may well get into the tree during a PRE cycle. But there is a quite long list of bugs, both verified and to be analyzed ones. Some critical, many not so critical ones.. Developers having new features in queue which they would like to get into Squid-3.0 please speak up now, allowing for Doug to do his job proper. As for all of us his time is somewhat limited and the timeframe currently considered for a PRE4 release is not very distant. Regards Henrik
