We (MARA Systems, where I work) added message support to the external_acl framework as part of our integration package for the Cerberian content filter service. This integration package is available for Squid-2.5 from http://marasystems.com/cerberian/. The Squid patches found there provides similar functionality in Squid-2.5 as the external_acl functionality provided by Squid-3 (these Squid-2.5 patches are in fact the basis of the external_acl functionality found in Squid-3). Support for these patches can be purchased from MARA Systems if required. > or you got any idea on how soon a stable release of 3 will be available? When the Squid developers are happy with the release and considering it to meet the quality requirements for a STABLE stamp. Hopefully not before very long. As all my previous estimates on Squid releases have always been off by 50-100% or more I have stopped to give esimates on when the next Squid release will be available. What I can tell is tha the more people who help to seriously test the Squid-3 release and write good quality bug reports in our bug reporting tool when finding problems and feedback to squid-dev when things do work the faster the process of releasing the next STABLE relase will be. Related note: squid-users ml is primarily focused on the current STABLE release of Squid. Regards Henrik
