A terse list of features for Squid-2.0

• Better disk performance (AIO patches from stew@connect.com.au)
• Good multicast ICP support
• Different, customizable peer selection algorithm
• Generate ordered list of peers to fetch object from, deal better with connect(2) failures.
• customizable replacement policy
• HTTP/1.1 Language support
• HTTP/1.1 Vary support?
• HTTP/1.1 persistent connections
• HTTP/1.1 pipeline requests
• Customizable Squid error messages, different languages etc.
• Totally new cachemgr interface (ie 'cache_object://' gunk)
• Support for limiting requests. Similar to the 'DELAY_HACK' stuff in 1.1.x, but more general. Also to allow, e.g. cache-unfriendly sites to be given lower QOS. Limit by user and class of user.
• Re-do ftpget? Make a single ftpget do all requests?
• chroot support
• external port-binding goop
• Turn ICP into HTTP over UDP?
• Rewriting, adding to the HTTP reply stream.
• inline non-blocking DNS lookups?
• Generally, fewer configuration parameters, more automatic adjustments.
• Better "firewall model" and related parent selection stuff.
• Use VM to hold object data or not?
• Keep 'negative caching'?
• Keep UDP_HIT_OBJ?
• Hit Metering
• Use netstrings
