Apache 2.0.42 Released

Posted by krow on from the still-waiting-for-mod_perl dept.

i-got-a-long-name writes "The Apache HTTP Server Project is proud to announce the fifth public release of Apache 2.0. This is primarily a bug-fix release, including updates to the experimental caching module, the removal of several memory leaks, and fixes for several segfaults, one of which could have been used as a denial-of-service against mod_dav. A complete list of the changes since 2.0.40 are available.". Just keep in mind that if you upgrade be prepared to recompile all of your modules since binary-compatibility is no longer the case. Which I am sure will help with the adoption rate.

    The real question is when it will become mature. That's probably when people start using it and pushing it there with bug reports etc ;)

    this is only the fifth public release of apache 2.0 in two years, since 2.0 was released. why the slow releases? distros are updated more frequently. just thought it was interesting, only the 5th public release, and thought i'd point that out. i really dont care...just making an observation.
