We have 5 new features in 3.HEAD now and it seems to be stable

See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Squid-3.4 for the list of what I am
classifying as a new feature.

That will mean probably June or July for a stable release.
I let this earlier plan slide a bit. But am now contemplating a
branching again. With an eye on getting a new release out soonish.
If you have anything ready or almost ready for commit, please ensure
that it gets into review in the coming days. I am going to be continuing
the strict "no feature backports" line after branching. The exact date
is not yet set, but I can not even leverage that around interesting
features until they have been put forward for review.
Also, the days coming up to branch will likely see a few more
widespread cleanup and polishing patches from me going in. So ready
features will want to avoid extra work by getting in beforehand.
2. Basic collapsed forwarding. The code works in non-SMP mode, but I
need to finish SMP support before I can submit the patch for Squid
Project review. This may take a few weeks.
As 2.7 feature parity this one is eligible for consideration as a
back-ports where other features are not.
If this feature in a state that would be happy submitting a non-SMP
version for 3.4 with SMP support coming later? There are quite a few
installations of 2.7 needing this feature that would be able to cope
with non-SMP for a bit longer in exchange for all the other 3.x
benefits. They will be forced to wait even longer without those other
3.x benefits as it is now.
Any update/answers to that?
