<DT><STRONG>Unix Threading</STRONG>
|
|
<DD>On Unix systems with POSIX threads support, Apache can now run in a
|
|
hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode. This should improve
|
|
scalability.
|
|
|
|
<DT><STRONG>New Build System</STRONG>
|
|
<DD>The build system has been rewritten from scratch to be based on
|
|
autoconf and libtool. This makes Apache's configuration system more
|
|
similar to that of other packages.
|
|
|
|
<DT><STRONG>Multiprotocol Support</STRONG>
|
|
<DD>Apache now has some of the infrastructure in place to support serving
|
|
multiple protocols. mod_echo has been written as an example.
|
|
|
|
<DT><STRONG>Better support for non-Unix platforms</STRONG>
|
|
<DD>Apache 2.0 should be faster and more stable on non-Unix platforms such
|
|
as BeOS, OS/2, and Windows. With the introduction of platform-specific
|
|
multiprocessing modules (MPM) and the Apache Portable Runtime, these
|
|
platforms can now avoid using POSIX-emulation functions that are
|
|
sometimes buggy and always hurt performance.
|
|
<DD>A list of the MPM's currently available is <a href="mpm.html">here</a>.
|
|
<DT><STRONG>New API</STRONG>
|
|
<DD>The API for modules has changed significantly for 2.0. Many of the
|
|
module-ordering problems from 1.3 should be gone. 2.0 does much of
|
|
this automatically, and module ordering is now done per-hook to
|
|
allow more flexibility. Also, new calls have been added that should
|
|
allow modules to do more without requiring patching of the core
|
|
Apache server.
