Software Update: Apache 1.3.17

Seyn tipped us about a new Apache release. Due to issues with the release of .15 and .16, this one has only been named 1.3.17. The die-hards probably have it already, but still worth mentioning. The Windows binary is not there yet, but the source code can be pulled down:

The Apache Software Foundation and The Apache Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.17 of the Apache HTTP server. Version 1.3.15 was not released due to problems when tagging the tree. Version 1.3.16 was not released due to some last minute bug fixes required after it was tagged.

This version of Apache is primarily a bug fix release, addressing some broken functionality present in the 1.3.14 release and various Win32 issues. There are, however, a few new features and improvements. A summary of the new features is given at the end of this document.

We consider Apache 1.3.17 to be the best version of Apache available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions, especially of the 1.1.x and 1.2.x family, upgrade as soon as possible. No further releases will be made in the 1.2.x family.
