Hello Squid Users,

The Squid developers is currently preparing a Squid-2.5.STABLE7 release but it still needs a little more testing before getting a STABLE approval stamp. To aid in this we would be thankful if some of you could test the Squid-2.5.STABLE7-RC2 release candidate in a controlled manner, especially in areas changed by the current patches.

The current release candidate Squid-2.5.STABLE7-RC2 can be found from our web server until Squid-2.5.STABLE7 gets officially released
