+1.3.3 of the Apache HTTP server.
+
+This new Apache version is a bugfix release, primarily to fix a
+serious problem with server error reporting introduced in 1.3.2.
+This affected the functionality of most custom ErrorDocuments and
+of some modules that depend on special error output (e.g., mod_speling).
+A side-effect bug that resulted in incorrect error reporting of
+nonexistent .htaccess files has also been fixed.
+
+Additional changes in this release consist of new supported platforms,
+Win32 and Unix portability fixes, ErrorDocument environment enhancements,
+improved protocol behavior to match the HTTP/1.1 revised specification,
+and assorted other features or fixes. Users should review the CHANGES file
+and decide on their upgrade plans. We consider Apache 1.3.3 to be the
+most stable version of Apache available and we strongly recommend that
+users of older versions, especially of the 1.1.x and 1.2.x family, upgrade
+as soon as possible.
