        - Added "mem_pools_limit" configuration option. Semantics of
          "mem_pools" option has also changed a bit to reflect new memory
          management policy.
-       - Reorganized memory pools. Squid now allocates memory in big chunks
-         and distributes that memory among "frequently allocated" objects.
-         There is a configurable limit on the total amount of memory to be
-         allocated for static pools. All requests that exceed that amount are
-         satisfied using malloc library. Support for variable size objects
-         (mostly strings) will be enabled soon.
+       - Reorganized memory pools. Squid now supports a global pool limit
+         instead of individual pool limits. Per-pool limits can be
+         implemented on top of the current scheme if needed, but it is
+         probably hard to guess their values.  Squid distributes pool memory
+         among "frequently allocated" objects.  There is a configurable limit
+         on the total amount of "idle" memory to be kept in reserve. All
+         requests that exceed that amount are satisfied using malloc library.
+         Support for variable size objects (mostly strings) will be enabled
+         soon.
        - memAllocate() has now only one parameter. Objects are always reset
          with 0s. (We actually never used that parameter before; it was
          always set to "clear").
