Let me tell what I've been working on so far for 1.2:

    Asynchronous I/O thanks to Stewart Forster.
    Persistent/Pipeline connections between client<->squid
    FTP now handled internally, no more ftpget.
    Accepting HTTP connections on multiple ports
    Lots of code/implementation cleanup.
    Reworking the store.c module so there is middle ground
    between the "VM" and "NOVM" models (in progress).

As of right now, there are still some serious bugs, but I should
have a version out sometime this week.
