This is the general rule of most Squid developments. Very little of the new features is developed "just for fun". - New features gets developed by someone directly or indirectly contracting a Squid developer or in some cases submitting a already developed feature. - Bug fixes is maintained primarily for the good of the commercial support customers. Several of the regular Squid developers are available for contracted developments. Myself is available via MARA Systems AB. And Swell Technologies is a well known player in this field quite often hiring Squid developers to fulfill their and their customers needs. And thanks to the commercial Squid support contracts sold by MARA Systems they (we) are able to actively maintain bugfixes of the STABLE Squid releases. Regards Henrik
