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. - -Apache 1.3.3 is available for download from +1.3.4 of the Apache HTTP server. + +This new Apache version incorporates over 90 significant improvements +to the server, including avoidance of some denial-of-service attacks, +support for 3rd-party WebDAV modules, a complete overhaul of content +negotiation, optional column sorting for fancy indexes, the ability to +set a DefaultLanguage, and many fixes to improve consistency, portability, +and squish bugs. A complete listing is provided in the src/CHANGES file. + +Of special note are the many changes to the Apache configuration process. +The default path layout generated by the "configure" script has been +changed to be more consistent with the traditional Apache layout, and +several new command-line options have been added to make compilation +easier. Please see the README.configure and INSTALL files for complete +information. In addition, we have moved all of the server configuration +directives to a single file (httpd.conf-dist), updated mime.types, and +improved the examples for first-time installers. Finally, a few of the +rarely-used command-line options for httpd have been changed to be more +consistent with the help options of other programs. + +We consider Apache 1.3.4 to be the best 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. No further releases +will be made in the 1.2.x family. + +Apache 1.3.4 is available for download from http://www.apache.org/dist/ |
