Shown after installing
o You can find the configuration files for this package in the
       directory /usr/local/etc/squid.

     o The default cache directory is /var/squid/cache/.
       The default log directory is /var/log/squid/.

       Note:
       You must initialize new cache directories before you can start
       squid.  Do this by running "squid -z" as 'root' or 'squid'.
       If your cache directories are already initialized (e.g. after an
       upgrade of squid) you do not need to initialize them again.

     o When using DiskD storage scheme remember to read documentation:
         http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DiskDaemon
       and alter your kern.ipc defaults in /boot/loader.conf. DiskD will not
       work reliably without this. Last recomendations were:

         kern.ipc.msgmnb=8192
         kern.ipc.msgssz=64
         kern.ipc.msgtql=2048

     o The pre-translated error pages are no longer included into the port.
       If you need them install www/squid-langpack port as well.

     o The default configuration will deny everyone but the local host and
       local networks as defined in RFC 1918 for IPv4 and RFCs 4193 and
       4291 for IPv6 access to the proxy service.  Edit the "http_access
       allow/deny" directives in /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf
       to suit your needs.

     o If AUTH_SQL option is set, please, don't forget to install one of
       following perl modules depending on database you like:
         databases/p5-DBD-mysql (MySQL)
         databases/p5-DBD-mysql4 (MariaDB)
         databases/p5-DBD-Pg
         databases/p5-DBD-SQLite

     To enable Squid, set squid_enable=yes in either
     /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf.d/squid
     Please see /usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid for further details.

     Note:
     If you just updated your Squid installation from an earlier version,
     make sure to check your Squid configuration against the 3.4 default
     configuration file /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf.sample.

     /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf.documented is a fully annotated
     configuration file you can consult for further reference.

     Additionally, you should check your configuration by calling
     'squid -f /path/to/squid.conf -k parse' before starting Squid.

Update squid1.2.beta14 -> beta16.

Note: the b14 -> b15 change will loose your cache unless you take
the steps on http://squid.nlanr.net/ to recover it.

Read the Changelog for details, this is a fairly large update.

Define NO_LATEST_LINK for net/ncftp3 and www/squid12 because these are unstable betas with better versions in the tree.  (There are probably more but these were the only ones I could pull off the top of my head.)

Peter Wemm (peter)
Update from 1.2.beta11 -> 1.2beta14 Major changes:   - the URL and SHA cache key methods are gone, MD5 is the only option.   - the swap.state system has been redesigned as a transaction log for     much faster restarts and crash recovery.   - SIZE on ftp binary transfers.   - Lots of bug fixes and code cleanups.

From the web page; http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/1.2.beta/

WARNING, with beta12 we are starting to stuff object metadata into
the beginning of objects on disk.  With beta13 we have changed the
"swap.state" file format to binary instead of text. When you run this
version for the first time you WILL LOSE YOUR CACHE!

The previous warning still stands:
This is BETA software. Do not run this on your production systems.
Logfile formats are subject (and likely) to change at any time without
warning.

Update this for the benefit of the new broken patch.  Tell it to look at Index: like posix says, rather than going into dummy mode.  The distributed patches are generated with standard cvs and don't have ache's hack (which doesn't work when new files are added anyway).

Initial squid 1.2beta8 port.  As the squid www page says: "We are currently in a beta-test period for Squid-1.2. If you like seeing Squid coredump frequently, please join us!"

"This is BETA software. Do not run this on your production systems.
Logfile formats are subject (and likely) to change at any time without
warning.

Here is a brief list of the major features of this version:
   HTTP/1.1 persisitent connections.
   Lower VM usage; in-transit objects are not held fully in memory.
   Totally independent swap directories.
   Customizable error texts.
   FTP supported internally; no more ftpget.
   Asynchronous disk operations (optional, requires pthreads library).
   Internal icons for FTP and gopher directories.
   snprintf() used everywhere instead of sprintf().
   ...and many more!
"
As well, there is support for using MD5 or SHA hashes of URL's in the
cache index for space (and speed?) savings, SNMP support, poll(2) is
used by default, etc.

Please see  http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/1.2.beta/  before using.
