Apache 2.0alpha3 Released
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Apache Group is pleased to announce the release of the third public
|
|
alpha release of Apache 2.0.
|
|
|
|
Apache 2.0 offers numerous enhancements, improvements and performance
|
|
boosts over the 1.3 codebase. The most visible and noteworthy addition
|
|
is the ability to run Apache in a hybrid thread/process mode on any
|
|
platform that supports both threads and processes. This has shown to
|
|
improve the scalability of the Apache HTTPD server significantly in our
|
|
early testing, on some versions of Unix. This release also greatly
|
|
improves the performance and robustness of Apache on Windows Operating
|
|
Systems. Lastly we are proud to announce support for BeOS in this
|
|
version of the server.
|
|
|
|
Apache 2.0a3 under UNIX has undergone some testing, there are
|
|
known issues in the current release, including at least one small memory
|
|
leak. This should be considered a ``developers version'' including only
|
|
the source and no pre-compiled binaries. It is anticipated that a
|
|
binary-release will be available for the first beta release. If you do
|
|
not feel comfortable compiling code, the Apache Group strongly recommends
|
|
that you wait for a more stable beta release before you try this version.
|
|
|
|
Apache 2.0a3 under Windows has undergone some testing as well. There
|
|
are known issues in the current release with regards to Apache on windows
|
|
95 and 98. We are working through those problems, and hope to have them
|
|
fixed for future releases of the 2.0 alpha.
|
|
|
|
Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April
|
|
of 1996. The February 2000 WWW server site survey by Netcraft (see:
|
|
http://www.netcraft.co.uk/Survey/) found that more web servers were
|
|
using Apache than any other software, and Apache hit an all time high of,
|
|
running on 58% of the Internet.
|
|
|
|
The Apache project has been organized in an attempt to answer some of
|
|
the concerns regarding active development of a public domain HTTP server
|
|
for UNIX. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and
|
|
extensible server which provides HTTP services in sync with the current
|
|
HTTP standards.
