+ The Apache Group is pleased to announce the release of the long + awaited 1.3.0 version of the Apache HTTP server. A dozen months, + hundreds of patches and over 100 code contributors helped make the + release of 1.3.0 a reality. + +

+ Apache 1.3.0 is the most stable version of Apache currently available; + everyone running 1.2.X servers or earlier should upgrade to 1.3, as we + will stop providing support for the 1.2.X tree, though we may make a + release of 1.2.7. At present, the Win95/NT port of Apache is not + as stable as the UNIX version. Further releases of the 1.3.x tree + will bring the Win95/NT port closer to parity. + +

+ To grab the latest Apache distribution, check out + http://www.apache.org/dist/ + and the huge list of available "International Mirror Sites" at + http://www.apache.org/mirrors/ + +

+ For an overview of new features in 1.3 please read see + + + http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_3.html + +

+ In general, Apache 1.3.0 offers several substantial improvements + over previous versions, including better performance, reliability + and a wider-range of supported platforms, including Windows95 and + NT. + +

Apache 1.3b7 Released

-Apache 1.3b7 is the latest public beta of the forthcoming Apache 1.3 Server -and the second release candidate for 1.3.0. Apache 1.3 includes several new -enhancements, improvements and performance boosts, but the most visible -additions are the ability to run under Microsoft -Windows NT 4.0 & 95 and the new Autoconf-style Interface for Unix. -For a compact summary of the more important changes check out the Announcement and for a detailed log of all changes -check out the CHANGES file. - -

Compilation note:

-Apache 1.2 uses regular expressions for several modules, such as -mod_rewrite. Since system-level "regex" support isn't consistent -across platforms, we have provided Henry Spencer's regex library as a -part of the Apache distribution, but have taken pains to only use it -if the platform requires it. Since we don't have access to all -operating systems out there, we may not have correctly defined the -"WANTHSREGEX" #define for a given platform. If you get a warning -about a missing 'regex.h', set WANTHSREGEX=yes in the 'Configuration', -and submit a Problem Report -indicating you needed to do this for your platform. Include the -output of the command "uname -a". Thanks! +

Apache 1.2.6 is also available for download, though we strongly +urge you to use the 1.3 server. We will not be putting significant +effort towards supporting the 1.2 series.
