Ralf,
You're right, it' s called CHANGES, not HISTORY. I was reading it from your Web
site's Documentation page ("CHANGES: History of all changes").
The Makefile that's installed into Apache source directory says "existing" but
the CHANGES file
continues to say "official"
Thanks for the info.
By the way I think you're doing, and have done, a great job and a great service
to everyone with mod_ssl.
