Re: [squid-users] Squid 2.4 -> with Suse 7.3 ->

I see that SuSe include my inofficial patchset in their Squid-2.3
distribution so the situation is perhaps not as bad as one could think,
but many of the bugs listed on
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.4/bugs/ will exists.

Note: I do not have a patchset for Squid-2.4 like I had for Squid-2.2
and Squid-2.4, simply because almost all of my patches have now been
integrated into mainstream Squid, including a huge amount of new fixes.
If you want information on my old (now obsolete) patchsets see
http://devel.squid-cache.org/hno/.

The officially recommended Squid version for production use is
Squid-2.4.STABLE3.

I cannot give you a personal measure on stability of the Squid-2.3 or
Squid-2.4 release as the versions I use in production are my heavily
patched Squid-2.2-hno version and my considerably extended versions of
Squid-2.5 (probably more like some future Squid-2.6 version than the
upcoming Squid-2.5 release).
