Not that I can remember.
The only reduction in range processing capabilities I am aware of
having been done in Squid is that we no longer split linear cache
misses into ranges.
You are ofcourse welcome to correct me if I am wrong here.
Merging ranges isn't that hard, but requires code to detect that what
is cached is only a range and some ETag logics to safely identify two
fragments as being from the same entity, but there has never been any
consensus on how partial objects should be stored or updated so
nothing has got done..
