1. Notice

- -

The Squid Team are pleased to announce the release of Squid-4.5 for testing.

-

This new release is available for download from -http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/ or the -mirrors.

- -

We welcome feedback and bug reports. If you find a bug, please see -http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting -for how to submit a report with a stack trace.

- -

1.1 Known issues -

- -

Although this release is deemed good enough for use in production, please note the existence of -open bugs against Squid-4.

- -

This release adds a dependency on C++11 support in any compiler used to build Squid. -As a result older C++03 -only and most C++0x compilers will no longer build successfully. -GCC 4.9+ and Clang 3.5+ are known to have working C++11 support and are usable. -GCC-4.8 will also build for now despite lack of full C++11 support, but some future features may not be available.

- -

This release does not support LibreSSL. -Due to a bug in the way LibreSSL uses the OpenSSL version macro some changes -necessary to support OpenSSL 1.1 prevent building with LibreSSL.

- - -

1.2 Changes since earlier releases of Squid-4 -

- -

The Squid-4 change history can be -viewed here.

- - -

2. Major new features since Squid-3.5

- -

Squid 4 represents a new feature release above 3.5.

- -

The most important of these new features are: -

-

-

Most user-facing changes are reflected in squid.conf (see below).

- - -

2.1 Configurable helper queue size -

- -

The new queue-size=N option to helpers configuration, allows users -to configure the maximum number of queued requests to busy helpers.

- -

2.2 Helper concurrency channels changes -

- -

helper-mux.pl we have been distributing for the past few years to -encourage use of concurrency is no longer compatible with Squid. If -used it will spawn up to 2^64 helpers and DoS the Squid server.

- -

Helpers utilizing arrays to handle fixed amounts of concurrency -channels MUST be re-written to use queues and capable of handling a -64-bit int as index or they will be vulnerable to buffer overrun and -arbitrary memory accesses.

- -

32-bit helpers need re-writing to handle the concurrency channel ID -as a 64-bit integer value. If not updated they will cause proxies to -return unexpected results or timeout once crossing the 32-bit wrap -boundary. Leading to undefined behaviour in the client HTTP traffic.

- - -

2.3 SSL support removal -

- -

Details in -RFC 6176 -and -RFC 7568

- -

SSLv2 is not fit for purpose. Squid no longer supports being configured with -any settings regarding this protocol. That includes settings manually disabling -its use since it is now forced to disable by default. Also settings enabling -various client/server workarounds specific to SSLv2 are removed.

- -

SSLv3 is not fit for purpose. Squid still accepts configuration, but use -is deprecated and will be removed entirely in a future version. -Squid default behavour is to follow the TLS built in negotiation mechanism -which prefers the latest TLS version. But also to accept downgrades to SSLv3. -Use tls-options=NO_SSLv3 to disable SSLv3 support completely.

- -

A new option tls-min-version=1.N is added in place of sslversion= -to configure the minimum version the TLS negotiation will allow to be used -when an old TLS version is requested by the remote endpoint.

- -

The system Trusted CAs are no longer used by default when verifying client -certificates. The cafile= option should be used instead to -explicitly load the specific CA which signed acceptible client certificates, -even if that CA is one of the system Trusted CAs. -The tls-default-ca option can be used to restore the old -behaviour if needed.

- - -

2.4 Helper Binary Changes -

- -

The basic_msnt_multi_domain_auth helper has been removed. The -basic_smb_lm_auth helper performs the same actions without extra -Perl and Samba dependencies.

- -

The cert_valid.pl testing helper has been renamed to -security_fake_certverify, reflecting the Squid helper naming schema -and that it does not actually perform any certificate checks.

- -

The security_fake_certverify helper is also now built and installed -by default. It is written in Perl so does not require OpenSSL dependencies -for installation. But does use the Perl Crypt::OpenSSL::X509 module for execution. -Building the helper can be controlled using the --enable-security-cert-validators="fake" -option.

- -

The ssl_crtd helper has been renamed to security_file_certgen -and is now built and installed by default whenever OpenSSL support is enabled. -Building the helper can be controlled using the --enable-security-cert-generators="file" -option.

- -

NOTE: The --enable-ssl-crtd option is still required to enable the -sslcrtd_program helper interface within Squid that uses the helper.

- -

The ntlm_smb_lm_auth helper is now built using --enable-auth-ntlm="SMB_LM". -Notice the upper case where it was previously a (wrongly) lower cased acronym.

- - -

2.5 Secure ICAP -

- -

ICAP services can now be used over TLS connections.

- -

To mark an ICAP service as secure, use an icaps:// service URI scheme when -listing your service via an icap_service directive. The industry is using a -Secure ICAP term, and Squid follows that convention, but icaps seems more -appropriate for a scheme name.

- -

Squid uses port 11344 for Secure ICAP by default, following another popular -proxy convention. The old 1344 default for plain ICAP ports has not changed.

- - -

2.6 Improved SMP support -

- -

Use of C++11 atomic operations instead of GNU atomics allows a wider range of -operating systems and compilers to build Squid SMP and multi-process features. -However this does require a C++11 compiler with a recent version of the C++ -standard library.

- -

IpcIo and Mmapped disk I/O modules are now auto-detected properly which -enables Rock storage on more systems by default than previously.

- - -

2.7 Improved process management -

- -

Squid is traditionally refered to as a daemon. But is actually a combination -of daemon and daemon manager processes. This has caused significant problems -integrating it with other third-party daemon managers.

- -

The Squid process which places its PID into the squid.pid file has always -been the process to which control signals are sent. The manager process is -now taking on signal handling instead of the main daemon process. Enabling -integration with daemon managers such as Upstart or systemd which assume the -process they initiated is the daemon with a PID to control.

- -

The squid binary now has a new --foreground command line option, -which (only) prevents daemonizing the master process. -Unlike the old -N option, ---foreground supports SMP workers and multi-process features. ---foreground is particularly useful for use with -z (disk -cache structures creation), as it allows the caller to wait until Squid has -finished.

- -

The squid binary now accepts a --kid command line option which -informs the process which role it is to take on. This aids with debugging -SMP issues with specific process types and resolves some SMP forking issues.

- - -

2.8 Initial GnuTLS support -

- -

Squid can now be built to use GnuTLS in place of OpenSSL for the core -features of receiving TLS connections from clients and making TLS -connections to servers. The GnuTLS support is still very much experimental -and should be tested before use.

- -

SSL-Bump and certificate generation features are not yet supported by -GnuTLS builds. Nor are many other less commonly used Squid TLS/SSL features.

- -

squid.conf directives and configuration options which have undergone -name changes from 'ssl' to 'tls' prefix in Squid-4 have GnuTLS support, unless -explicitly stated otherwise.

- -

Advanced configuration with specific selection of ciphers and similar settings -should still work, but needs the GnuTLS Priority Strings instead of -the OpenSSL options when using GnuTLS. -See -GnuTLS manual -for more details.

- - -

2.9 ESI Custom Parser removal -

- -

The Squid custom ESI (Edge Side Includes) parser has been removed in favour -of better supported and maintained third-party libraries. At least one of libxml2 -or libexpat is now mandatory to build support for the ESI response processor.

- - -

3. Changes to squid.conf since Squid-3.5

- -

There have been changes to Squid's configuration file since Squid-3.5.

-

This section gives a thorough account of those changes in three categories:

-

-

-

- - -

-

New directive to limit the size of a table used for sharing information -about collapsible entries among SMP workers.

- -
force_request_body_continuation
-

New directive to control Squid behaviour on the client connection when -receiving an HTTP request with an Expect:100-continue header.

There have been some changes to Squid's build configuration since Squid-3.5.

-

This section gives an account of those changes in three categories:

-

-

-

- - -

4.1 New options -

- -

-

-
--enable-security-cert-generators
-

New option to control which TLS/SSL dynamic certificate generator -helpers are built and installed.

New option to control which TLS/SSL certificate validation -helpers are built and installed.

-

One fake helper that does not actually perform any -certificate checks is provided for testing and as an example -for writing custom helpers.

- -
--without-cppunit
-

The cppunit testing framework is auto-detected and used when available. -This option can be used to disable it explicitly.

- -
-

- -

4.2 Changes to existing options -

- -

-

-
--enable-auth-basic
-

The MSNT-multi-domain helper has been removed.

-
