An Anonymous Coward wrote in to tell us that Apache 1.3.9 has made an appearance on the ftp sites.
The webiste doesn't note this, but the ftp directory has a change log and list of new bits in this bug fix release.
Slashdot...faster than reality

I was looking at this story and scratching my head in confusion, since I had ftp.apache.org/dist open in a browser window and I knew there was no 1.3.9 there...then I reloaded and, of course, there it was.
It's official: Reading Slashdot is actually better than relying on primary sources.
Wow, it seems that someone has a lot of time to extoll the virtues of Microsoft products today. Didn't there used to be a log of which domains had connected to Slashdot....?
There's a reason the distribution file was put on the site silently, and not yet officially announced. It's called "letting the 250+ mirrors get it so it's in place world-wide when the announcement is made 24 hours later."
Thanks to this premature unofficial announcement, the main Apache system is getting slashdotted and the mirrors have to compete just to get the files. So no-one is really getting any advantage from the world-wide distributed availability.
The official announcement should be made through all the usual channels (USENET, the apache-announce list, et cetera) sometime to-morrow (Friday) afternoon.
If you can possibly restrain yourself, please wait until to-morrow and go through the mirror system.. thanks!
Get mod_perl and the Apache::ASP module. IT gives you 95% of the ASP object module, including response, request, session, application objects, and embedded scripting in Perl.

Hey all,
I'm currently working on an ASP->JSP translator. An initial release should be available in the October/November time frame.
The translator will do pretty much everything but COM objects (save that for version 2): VBScript becomes Java, ADO becomes JDBC, and the ASP runtime environment (Session, Response, etc) will be mapped to (or wrapped by, haven't gotten there yet) the JSP runtime environment.
The translator will be open source, of course. I'm targeting GNUJSP as my reference implementation. So... if anyone's willing to help out (perhaps with porting some of the 80+ ASP global functions to Java), pop me an email at hardcorejon@hardcorejon.com
I am a nerd. This is news to me. Rob and/or Hemos thought it was newsworthy, and so do I. That is two nerds that think this is news (plural of "nerd" is "nerds", BTW).
I am also a programmer and sysadmin who maintains an Apache server. The fact that they released a new version was unknown to me until I read it here. As part of my job, this info concerns me very much. Therefore it matters to me.
I guess this article fulfills the only obligations that this site must fullfill, namely: 1. at least two nerds must think that this is news 2. it must matter to at least one of those nerds
while ($rantMode eq "true") { I have been following this site since way before it was slashdot, when it was "Chips and Dips" and only got updated once every day or two. I will say to you what I say to everyone who whines about the stories here: "This is a user-driven website. If you do not like the quality or content of the stories, then post stories you want to read about, otherwise SHUT UP OR GET THE HELL OUT!!" }

Slashdot Mirror
1.3 is not the right web server to choose if you want a flying gas can. Still, there is a performance tuning doc at http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/pe rf-tuning.html

Good thing the folks over at FSF didn't think the way you do, or Linux would never have existed.
