The list is growing...

Here is a summary of my pending patches to 2.1.PRE1:

[bugfix]
* Squid-2.1.PRE1: Close server connection on unsupported protocol
  Close the server connection when Squid tries to handle a
  unsupported protocol (https).

[new feature]
* Squid-2.1.PRE1: Allow signature customizations
  Allow people to customize the signature by using
  %T == time
  %h == visible host name
  %s == squid version
  The use of %s is required, or the default signature will be added.

[bugfix]
* Squid-2.1.PRE1: Failed to find headers
  The whitespace URL changes in 2.1.PRE1 caused Squid to lose
  track of the request headers on all requests..

[bugfix]
* Squid-2.1.PRE1: va_list and ... is not the same thing
  vprintf_f was declared using ... when it should use va_list.
  (reported by "Pavel A. Perikov" <pavel@tvcell.ru>)

[bugfix]
* Squid-2.1.PRE1: proxy_auth coredump
  2.1.PRE1 core dumps when validating a users password

[new feature]
* Squid-2.0.PATCH2: Log headers at when a loop detected
  Log full request headers when a request loop is detected.
  Used for debugging purposes.
  Alex provided a much shorter version of this patch.

--- beginning of last summary ---

[bugfix]
* Squid-2.0.PATCH2: Don't cache authenticated FTP requests
  Security fix: Authenticated FTP objects should not be cached.
  Minor cleanup of FTP authentication.

[bugfix / new feature]
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: Make cachemgr send proxy authentication
  Make cachemgr send proxy authentication header, to enable it
  to be used when proxy_auth is enforced.

[new features]
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: Various authentication issues
  This patch fixes a numer of authentication issues:
  o FTP icons
  o Authentication when running as a accelerator
  o Auto-logon to peer cached. Useful if you are a leaf cache
    and your parent requires authentication.
  o Auto-logon to HTTP servers. Useful if your organisation
    has a account on a server, and you don't want every user
    to know the password.
  The current snapshow contains a updated version of this patch.

[bugfix]
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: Fix FTP icons when used in a hierarchy
  FTP icons (and some other things) was broken if visible_hostname
  contained uppercase characters and Squid was used in a hierarcy.

[new feature]
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: configure --disable-poll option
  Since poll is reportedly broken on some platforms --disable-poll
  can be used to force configure to ignore poll, in the same way
  as --enable-poll can be used to force it to use poll.

[new / changed feature]
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: proxy_auth user ACL
  Changed proxy_auth ACL type to consist of a list of valid users.
  REQUIRED == any (same as ident ACL). ACL type user changed to
  ident since this is what it really is.
  This patch is also updated in the current 2.1.PRE1 snapshot.

[new feature]
* Squid-1.2.beta25: Option for not rewriting Host: headers
  A option for not rewriting Host: headers on redireced requests.
  May be useful if you run Squid as a accelerator and do not want
  to maintain a local host table of accelerated hosts.

[new feature / bugfix]
* Squid-1.2.beta24-1: Log HTTP version in common format
  Squid did not log request HTTP version in common format.

---- END OF LIST ---

Of these the following should be regarded as 2.0 bugfixes:

* Squid-2.0.PATCH2: Don't cache authenticated FTP requests
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: Fix FTP icons when used in a hierarchy
* Squid-2.0.RELEASE: Make cachemgr send proxy authentication
* Squid-2.1.PRE1: Close server connection on unsupported protocol
