Apache.org have released a new beta version 2.0.28 of their Web server software.
For the list of changes since the last beta hit Read More... Changes with Apache 2.0.28
*) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c. [Dale Ghent , Brian Pane ]
*) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in the same way as mod_log_confg. [Ian Holsman]
*) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard MPMs. [Cliff Woolley]
*) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization databases. [Mladen Turk ]
*) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk. [Brian Pane ]
