Apache Server Nears 2.0
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Apache httpd project has released a new beta of their apache 2.0 server (v32)". For those who have not been following the 2.0 development, this is the third beta that has been produced. The new version of Apache sports the new APR API and a new method for filtered I/O, and has been rewritten to make use of a hybrid thread/process model. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of 2.0, hopefully we will see a full release of the open source version in the near future.
So it's even more efficient at reading a file off a disk and shooting it out on port 80?
Really, aren't we to the point where the only thing we can get is more bloated and less efficient? Is there ever a point when software is "finished", in the open source world? Have we fallen victim to constant tinkering just because we can?
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
