You basically can't unless you have it saved somewhere. The snapshots is
only saved for at most 2 days (current and yesterday snapshot).
Squid-2.5 is still under active development and not yet released. We do
not want people to try out other development versions Squid than the
latest greatest, and if there is problems with the latest DEVEL version
reports on this should be sent to squid-dev@squid-cache.org, or
alternatively squid-bugs@squid-cache.org, not squid-users.

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with the current
Squid-2.5.DEVEL version, but I can promise that if we get a correct bug
report the problem will be fixed promptly.

When there is an official "PRE-STABLE" release for public beta testing
it will be permanently archived, and we will also start to keep a
detailed record of bugfixes applied to the Squid version (i.e. the
information available from the "Known bugs" pages of previous Squid
versions).

The release cycle of a Squid version goes like

 * Active development. .DEVEL
 * Public beta testing, .PRE-STABLE
 * Official release, .STABLE1
 * First bugfix release, .STABLE2
 * Second bugfix release, .STABLE3
 * ...

At or shortly after time of the PRE-STABLE release, the cycle for the
next Squid version is started. i.e. when 2.5.PRE-STABLE sees the light,
Squid-2.6 will start its cycle as 2.6.DEVEL..

The current status of Squid-2.5 is that it is at the very end of it's
DEVEL stage, mostly having bugfixes, cleanups and minor additions.
During the last couple of weeks Squid-2.5 has undergone quite massive
cleanups, and a few bugfixes. It is not too unlikely that some of these
fixes will uncover other bugs previously undetected.
