The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the
availability of the Squid-3.1.0.12 beta release!

This release is primarily a Security update on prior 3.1 releases.

The major changes are for advisory SQUID-2009:2. This is for multiple
vulnerabilities in both request and response processing. The cause is
the same, but there are many variations of possible attack.
