I recall that earlier whenever there was a new squid major release,
there used to be release notes found on downloads page.
You can find release notes in bootstrapped Squid sources linked from
GitHub releases page[1]. For example, for Squid v7.1, that file is
called squid-7.1/doc/release-notes/release-7.html (and it can be found
inside squid-7.1.tar.bz2 archive provided at [1]). A copy of that file
is also available in the same archive as squid-7.1/RELEASENOTES.html.
We could provide that file as a stand-alone release artifact, linked
from every release on [1], but I am worried about increasing noise and
sliding down the slippery slope -- there are other files in archives
that others may find useful, and each will be increasingly difficult to
locate as we add them as stand-alone artifacts...
That HTML file is generated so it is not found in the source code
repository. That should change when we switch from SGML to Markdown (and
require some automated post-processing/indexing at commit time). When
that happens, we could easily add the corresponding link to our release
descriptions at [1] AFAICT.
HTH,

[1] https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases
This release notes used to provide section wise details of changes from
previous major version.
Like What's new, What directive is deprecated / removed, What directive
is replaced / changed.
And it used to be extremely helpful to upgrade from one major version to
another.
We could just refer to it and change our squid.conf accordingly. And
also make use of some new features added to new version.
However ever since migration to Github, I can not find such a release
notes.
Github release page does not arrange the change log in section wise
manner like earlier.
If such a release notes still exists then can you please provide link to
it? I am sorry if I completely overlooked it.
Or if not then can such release notes be provided for easy reference?
Thank you
Amish
