This is, however, still a beta -release and there are known issues that will be fixed before the final 1.3 -release. The UNIX side is already stable now. - -As a premiere, this version of Apache comes with the new Apache Autoconf-style -Interface (APACI) for out-of-the-box building and installing the complete -Apache package. Actually APACI provides the commonly known and expected -configure interface to the old Apache source configuration scripts. It is -able to batch-control any existing Apache configuration options (usually -specified manually in src/Configuration) and provides some additional features -like on-the-fly adding third-party modules to the build process or configuring -and installing the suEXEC mechanism. - -Additionally this Apache version the first time provides greatly improved -support for loading Apache modules through dynamic shared object (DSO) files -under runtime through the improved mod_so. Apache currently supports this -feature under Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, SunOS, IRIX, OSF1 and UnixWare. -Actually all distributed Apache modules now can be build and installed as -shared objects by individually enabling DSO for them via APACI's ---enable-shared option. For building third-party modules outside the Apache -source tree a new support tool named `apxs' is provided which hides the -platform-dependend DSO-build mechanism and automates the installation and -activation of those DSO files. - -Finally, this version of Apache attempts to protect against namespace -collisions by prefacing ``external'' functions, including API functions, -with the ap_ prefix. If you have or use an external module, the module -will need to be updated and/or recompiled in order to use the new -function names. - -Please be sure to read the CHANGES file and the New Features with Apache -1.3 document (at http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_3.html). -This is particularly important if you are using non-IP based virtual hosts. - -Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April -of 1996.
