Thread: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache HTTP Server 2.3.6-alpha Released

From the Apache developers:

Apache HTTP Server 2.3.6-alpha Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.6-alpha of the Apache HTTP
Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is principally an alpha release
to test new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for
the stable 2.2.x branch. This alpha release should not be presumed to
be compatible with binaries built against any prior or future version.


Apache HTTP Server 2.3.6-alpha is available for download from:

Download - The Apache HTTP Server Project

Apache 2.3 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase. For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.3 please see:

Overview of new features in Apache HTTP Server 2.4 - Apache HTTP Server

Please see the CHANGES_2.3 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes.

This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.2
and APR-Util version 1.3.9 in a separate -deps tarball. The APR libraries
must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly.

This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.3, and require minimal or no source code changes.

Just wonder if anyone has used or tried the new Apache builds? Are there really any major improvements?

Not me, yet. Still on 2.2.x. I think a lot of people, like myself, prefer to wait until 2.3 is complete before it's used in a production environment.

Still would be curious to hear from anyone who has tested it.
