you suggested this already more than a month ago, but nothing happened then... I would also like to see such an alpha-release...
Once mod_ssl works again, I'd support doing a 2.1 release.
I think that'll require me subscribing to openssl-dev and trying to sort out exactly what needs to happen with those callbacks and locks. That's something that may take a little bit for me to do - unless someone is willing to speak up on openssl-dev and figuring out what we *should* be doing. -- justin
