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.
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!
