<sect>Major new features since Squid-@SQUID_RELEASE_OLD@
<p>Squid-@SQUID_RELEASE@ represents a new feature release above Squid-@SQUID_RELEASE_OLD@.

<p>The most important of these new features are:
<itemize>
	<item>Cache Manager changes
</itemize>

<p>Most user-facing changes are reflected in squid.conf (see further below).

<sect1>Cache Manager changes<label id="mgr">
<p>For more information about the Cache Manager feature, see <url url="https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheManager/Index" name="wiki">.

<p>
<descrip>
	<tag>non_peers</tag>
	<p>Removed the <em>mgr:non_peers</em> report. Squid still ignores
	unexpected ICP responses but no longer remembers the details that comprised
	the removed report. The senders of these ICP messages are still reported to
	cache.log at debugging level 1 (with an exponential backoff).
