The most important bug fixes in the Squid-2.6.STABLE3 release are:

    - Several memory leaks corrected, some of which could result
      in denial of service conditions.
    - Assertion failure related to Vary/ETag processing, which could
      result in a denial of service condition.
    - Delay pools now works again. Was broken in 2.6.STABLE1 and 2,
      often allowing a lot more bandwidth than the configured limit.
    - Reguests could hang when using the cache_dir max-size option
    - Now implements proper TCP fallback on truncated DNS response
      solving interoperability issues with some DNS servers

In addition there is numerous minor bugfixes and improvements. For more
information on the individual changes see the Squid-2.6 changes page
