A large number of the show-stopper bugs have been fixed along with general improvements to the ICAP support.
While this release is not deemed ready for production use, we believe it is ready for wider testing by the community.

Squid 3.0 represents a major rewrite of Squid and has a number of new features.
The most important of these are:
Edge Side Include implementation (www.esi.org)
ICAP implementation (www.i-cap.org)
-
Better support for reverse proxy setups. The httpd_accel_* directives are now gone, replaced by http(s)_port options and cache_peer based request forwarding
-
Better support for SSL
-
Better support for external ACLs
Finer control over cacheability (refresh_pattern)
-
Custom log formats and the ability to log different requests to different log files
Most user-facing changes are reflected in squid.conf (see below).
Some of the features found in Squid-2.6 is not available in Squid-3.
+Some has been dropped as they are not needed. Some has not yet been forward-ported to Squid-3 and may appear in a later release.
+
+
+
refresh_stale_hit option. Not yet ported.
+
ability to follow X-Forwarded-For. Not yet ported.
+
Full caching of Vary/ETag using If-None-Match. Only basic Vary cache supported. Not yet ported.
+
Mapping of server error messages. Not yet ported.
+
http_access2 access directive. Not yet ported.
+
Location header rewrites. Not yet ported.
+
umask directive. Not yet ported.
+
wais_relay. Feature dropped as it's equivalent to cache_peer + cache_peer_access.

- The NEGOTIATE packet is required to support NTLMv2 and a
- number of other negotiable NTLMSSP options, and also makes it
- more likely the negotiation is successful. Enabling this parameter
- will also solve problems encountered when NT domain policies
- restrict users to access only certain workstations. When this is off,
- all users must be allowed to log on the proxy servers too, or they'll
- get "invalid workstation" errors - and access denied - when trying to
- use Squid's services.
- Use of ntlm NEGOTIATE is incompatible with challenge reuse, so
- enabling this parameter will OVERRIDE the max_challenge_reuses and
- max_challenge_lifetime parameters and set them to 0.

- ignore-no-cache ignores any ``Pragma: no-cache'' and
- ``Cache-control: no-cache'' headers received from a server.
- The HTTP RFC never allows the use of this (Pragma) header
- from a server, only a client, though plenty of servers
- send it anyway.
-
ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
liable for problems which it causes.

- Better support for reverse proxy setups. The httpd_accel_* directives are now gone, replaced by http(s)_port options and cache_peer based request forwarding
- Better support for SSL
- Better support for external ACLs
Finer control over cacheability (refresh_pattern)
- Custom log formats and the ability to log different requests to different log files

- differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
- directives.
-
- use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header

- Accept certificates even if they fail to
- verify.
- NO_DEFAULT_CA
- Don't use the default CA list built in

- DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
- Don't verify the peer certificate

Takes an optional log format:
+
COSS file system:
- These files log client request activities. Has a line every HTTP or
- ICP request. The format is:
- access_log [ [acl acl ...]]
- access_log none [acl acl ...]]
-
- Will log to the specified file using the specified format (which
- must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match
- ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses).
- If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this file.
+ The coss file store is experimental, and still lacks much
+ of the functionality found in 2.6.
- To disable logging of a request use the filepath "none", in which case
- a logformat name should not be specified.
+ overwrite-percent=n, not yet ported to Squid-3.
- To log the request via syslog specify a filepath of "syslog":

auth_param
-
New option for basic scheme:

Removed Basic auth option
- "concurrency" concurrency
- The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
- The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
- one request at a time.
+ blankpasswor, not yet ported to squid-3.
auth_param basic concurrency 0
-
Removed NTLM options:
-
- "max_challenge_reuses" number
- The maximum number of times a challenge given by a ntlm authentication
- helper can be reused. Increasing this number increases your exposure
- to replay attacks on your network. 0 (the default) means use the
- challenge is used only once. See also the max_ntlm_challenge_lifetime
- directive if enabling challenge reuses.
- auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0
-
- "max_challenge_lifetime" timespan
- The maximum time period a ntlm challenge is reused over. The
- actual period will be the minimum of this time AND the number of
- reused challenges.
- auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 2 minutes
-
- "use_ntlm_negotiate" on|off
- Enables support for NTLM NEGOTIATE packet exchanges with the helper.
- The configured ntlm authenticator must be able to handle NTLM
- NEGOTIATE packet. See the authenticator programs documentation if
- unsure. ntlm_auth from Samba-3.0.2 or later supports the use of this
- option.
- The NEGOTIATE packet is required to support NTLMv2 and a
- number of other negotiable NTLMSSP options, and also makes it
- more likely the negotiation is successful. Enabling this parameter
- will also solve problems encountered when NT domain policies
- restrict users to access only certain workstations. When this is off,
- all users must be allowed to log on the proxy servers too, or they'll
- get "invalid workstation" errors - and access denied - when trying to
- use Squid's services.
- Use of ntlm NEGOTIATE is incompatible with challenge reuse, so
- enabling this parameter will OVERRIDE the max_challenge_reuses and
- max_challenge_lifetime parameters and set them to 0.
- auth_param ntlm use_ntlm_negotiate off
-
-
New NTLM option:
+
Removed digest options:
- "keep_alive" on|off
- If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
- Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
- off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
- the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
- supported by the proxy.

New options:
-
- concurrency=n concurrency level per process. Use 0 for old style

- wait for a new reply. (default 0 for no grace period)

refresh_pattern
New options:
- ignore-no-cache
ignore-no-store
- ignore-private
- ignore-auth
refresh-ims
- ignore-no-cache ignores any ``Pragma: no-cache'' and
- ``Cache-control: no-cache'' headers received from a server.
- The HTTP RFC never allows the use of this (Pragma) header
- from a server, only a client, though plenty of servers
- send it anyway.
-
ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
liable for problems which it causes.
- ignore-private ignores any ``Cache-control: private''
- headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
- the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
- liable for problems which it causes.
-
- ignore-auth caches responses to requests with authorization,
- irrespective of ``Cache-control'' headers received from
- a server. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
- this feature could make you liable for problems which
- it causes.
-
refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
ensures that the client will receive an updated version
if one is available.
