Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 13:07:16 -0700 To: apache-announce@apache.org From: Brian Behlendorf <brian@hyperreal.org> Subject: Apache 1.3b7 now available The Apache Group is pleased to announce the release of the 1.3b7 version of Apache, the latest beta release of the Apache HTTP server. 1.3b7 is a second release candidate for Apache 1.3.0. This version is stable under UNIX but remains beta-level under Win32. No new features are expected between 1.3b7 and 1.3.0, so please give this version a good thrashing in order to provide as much feedback as possible to the Apache Group before the release of 1.3.0. To grab the latest Apache distribution, check out http://www.apache.org/dist/ and the huge list of available "International Mirror Sites" at http://www.apache.org/mirrors/ For a full list of specific code changes see src/CHANGES. For an overview of new features in 1.2 please read the CHANGES file in the distribution and the "New Features with Apache 1.3" document at http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_3.html Major changes with this beta: HTTP: fixes for 400 and 408 error codes. WIN32: Child process spawning now uses native Win32 API. This should address many problems people have had on Win32 - it also forced us to modify the related child_spawn calls in the Apache API. Other various stability fixes. Extensive overhaul of the way UNCs are handled. Various mod_rewrite fixes. Various makefile cleanups. Various APACI changes. Various DSO cleanups, better support for AIX, OpenBSD, NetBSD Server's OS family now reported in Server: strings. PORT: added support for NCR MP/RAS 3.0 Security: we now make sure all config files opened by Apache are not special devices. Added "-s" command line option to dump out vhost settings.
