squid (2.6.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

  Squid 2.6 introduced a long listing of new features including ICAP support,
  TPROXY support on Linux, epoll() support, WCCPv2 support and new
  authentication helpers.

  Release notes with details of changes can be found in
  
    /usr/share/doc/squid/RELEASENOTES.html

  Changes to the configuration file:

  http_port
    Now takes a list of options in addition to the port address, specifying the
    purpose of this http_port. Default is plain Internet proxy as usual.

  httpd_accel_* for transparent proxy
    Now implemented by the "transparent" http_port option

  httpd_accel_host
    Replaced by defaultsite http_port option and cache_peer originserver option.

  httpd_accel_port
    No longer needed. Server port defined by the cache_peer port.

  httpd_accel_uses_host_header
    Replaced by vhost http_port option

  https_port
    Many new options. Reconstructs URLs as https:// by default.

  cache_peer
    Many new options to support origin servers and SSL encryption

  ssl_engine
    New directive for hardware assisted SSL encryption

  sslproxy_*
    New directives defining how to gateway http->https

  sslpassword_program
    New helper directive to query an external program for SSL key encryption
    password (if any)

  no_cache
    Renamed to cache to better reflect the functionaliy. no_cache still
    accepted.

  cache
    New name for the old no_cache directive.

  cache_vary
    New directive to disable caching of Vary:ing responses

  broken_vary_encoding
    New directive to work around known broken compression modules which hasn't
    understood the meaning of the ETag HTTP header in relation to
    Accept-Encoding.

  logformat
    New directive for defining custom log formats

  cache_access_log
    Renamed to access_log

  access_log
    Select what requests to log where any by what format. Support for multiple
    log files and multiple log formats.

  check_hostnames
    New option to disable the hostname validity/sanity checks usually performed
    by Squid, replacing the similar build time configure option in 2.5.

  allow_underscore
    New option to allow _ in hostnames, replacing the similar build time
    configure option in 2.5 and earlier.

  dns_defnames
    Allow for domain searches. Now possible even when using the internal DNS
    client

  redirect_*
    Renamed to url_rewrite_* to better reflect the functionality of this helper
    (rewriting requested URLs)

  url_rewrite_concurrency
    Activates a new and more efficient helper protocol. Requires changes in the
    helper.

  location_rewrite_*
    New helper hook for rewriting Location headers

  auth_param basic blankpassword
    New option to allow the use of blank passwords.

  auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuse / max_challenge_lifetime
    No longer supported

  auth_param ntlm use_ntlm_negotiate
    Directive no longer supported. Use of NTLM negotiate packet is always on.

  auth_param ntlm keep_alive
    New option to fine-tune the use of HTTP keep-alive in combination with NTLM

  auth_param negotiate
    New Negotiate authentication scheme, the "next generation" scheme in the
    family of Microsoft authentication.

  external_acl_type
    Many new format options %SRCPORT, %MYADDR, %MYPORT, %PATH, %USER_CERT, %ACL,
    %DATA and a few variants. Helper protocol defaults to the simpler "3.0"
    protocol, and there is support for a highly efficient protocol via the
    concurrency= option if supported by the helper.

  refresh_pattern
    Several new HTTP override/ignore options

  read_ahead_gap
    New directive to set the response buffer size.

  collapsed_forwarding
    New directive to enable an alternative optimized forwarding path when there
    is very many concurrent requests for the same URL.

  refresh_stale_hit
    New directive similar to collapsed_forwarding and activates an alternative
    optimized request processing when there is very many concurrent requests for
    the same recently expired URL.
