- 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.
+ 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
- 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
- out http://www.apache.org/.
+ 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.
