The first part is true. It's good to see that you have done your homework. :) As for the second part, that may not be true, necessarily. > > > I have assumed that the reason they were not available was because the > bugs fixed with the two releases were not a problem for Windows. > That may very well be, but only the individual(s) creating the binaries can say with certainty.

If ASF will not or cannot provide binaries (I don't blame it for not providing them, given the overhead associated with doing so), it should provide recommendations (not to be confused with endorsements). > > > How do I go about getting the page updated?

I'm sure that others can answer this question (unfortunately, I cannot), but Nick Kew (a frequent poster to this list, and ASF developer, if I'm not mistaken) seems to be plugged into the development pipeline. Presumably, you would need commit access to modify the documentation yourself. Perhaps someone else on this list can provide more information if you wish to gain commit access. > > > Thanks > > Peter > Be well! -Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
