Modified: htdocs/manual invoking.html Log: Try to avoid some confusion from the changing of command line arguments, by documenting the meanings of the arguments for each different version of Apache. This is important since the current live site now documents the "new" behaviour (for -L, -l, h) even though there is no released Apache for which that documentation is valid. Even after releasing 1.3.4 users of older versions will be accessing the documentation.
