I usually fix up the old conf file with the changes needed for the new version, if any. Detailed procedure: 1. Some time before the upgrade: Clean existing old configuration to only have the actual configuration and notes related to why it is configured in a certain manner, not the full Squid documentation (for this you have squid.conf.default). Also take the time to review the configuration to make sure it is configured like intended 2. Backup of old configuration and maybe Squid version. 3. Upgrade of squid. 4. Update squid.conf to make the new Squid version happy with the local configuration. See output of "squid -k parse" for obvious things which need to be corrected, release notes for things you should know about the new release and hints how to fix the incompabilities seen by "squid -k parse" and squid.conf.default for up to date documentation about squid.conf syntax. 5. Restart Squid to run the new version.
