<b>Apache 1.3 Beta 6 Released</b>
==========================
The Apache Group is pleased to announce the release of the 1.3b6 version
of Apache, the latest beta release of the Apache HTTP server. 1.3b6 is
a 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 1.3b6 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
<a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/";>http://www.apache.org/dist/</a>
and the huge list of available "International Mirror Sites" at
<a
href="http://www.apache.org/mirrors/";>http://www.apache.org/mirrors/</a>

distribution and the "New Features with Apache 1.3" document at

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of
1996. The Web Server Survey by Netcraft (<a
href="http://www.netcraft.co.uk/Survey/";>http://www.netcraft.co.uk/Survey/</a>)
found that more web servers were using Apache than any other software. Apache
and its derivatives are run on over 50% of all web domains on the Internet.
The Apache project has been organized to provide an open-source, secure,
efficient and extensible server which provides HTTP services in sync with the
current HTTP standards. For more information about the Apache project check
