18 Jul 2003 - Apache HTTP Server 1.3.28 released
The Apache Software Foundation and The Apache Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.28 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This Announcement notes the significant changes in 1.3.28 as compared to 1.3.27. The Announcement is also available in German from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/httpd/Announcement.txt.de.
This version of Apache is principally a bug and security fix release. A partial summary of the bug fixes is given at the end of the release note document. A full listing of changes can be found in the CHANGES file. Of particular note is that 1.3.28 addresses and fixes 3 potential security issues:
Apache HTTP Server 2.0.47 is available for download from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi - or - http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/httpd/
Apache is the most popular web server in the known universe; over half of the servers on the Internet are running Apache or one of its variants.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APACHE USERS: Apache 1.3 was designed for Unix OS variants. While the ports to non-Unix platforms (such as Win32, Netware or OS2) are of an acceptable quality, Apache 1.3 is not optimized for these platforms. Security, stability, or performance issues on these non-Unix ports do not generally apply to the Unix version, due to software's Unix origin.
Apache 2.0 has been structured for multiple operating systems from its inception, by introducing the Apache Portability Library and MPM modules. Users on non-Unix platforms are strongly encouraged to move up to Apache 2.0 for better performance, stability and security on their platforms.
See The Apache HTTP Server Home Page for more details.
