Recent releases


Changes: This release supports reconnecting to MySQL > 5.0, autodetects little/big endian architectures, and has a new "-U" failsafe option so that proxy access is granted even if the database is down or the user cannot be authenticated.


Changes: This release adds an "-a" switch to pass the client's source port to htons() at will (this is required by some versions of squid, but not all). This release is marked as stable, as it has been extensively tested.


Changes: This release works on Squid 2.5.5 with a very small patch and on Squid 3.0* versions.
