It has been moved to X-Git-Tag: APACHE_2_0_BETA_CANDIDATE_1~2 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c9f2bccd51ceed00b72609edbddb5efff0d1d15;p=apache Remove the Announcement file from the build tree. It has been moved to the Apache web site, in preparation for the first tag using the new tag and release strategy. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@87974 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 --- diff --git a/Announcement b/Announcement deleted file mode 100644 index 2443394e91..0000000000 --- a/Announcement +++ /dev/null @@ -1,112 +0,0 @@ - -Apache 2.0beta1 Released -------------------------- - -After two long years of development he Apache Group is pleased to announce -the release of the first public beta 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. With this version of Apache, -we have also added support for filtered I/O. This allows modules to modify -the output of other modules before it is sent to the client. This release also -greatly improves the performance and robustness of Apache on the -Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. This beta includes support for IPv6 -on all platforms that support IPv6. - -This version of Apache is known to work on many versions of Unix, BeOS, -OS/2, and Windows. Because of many of the advancements in Apache 2.0, -the initial release of Apache is expected to perform equally well on all -supported platforms. - -There are new snapshots of the Apache httpd source available every 6 -hours from http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/apache-2.0/ - please -download and test if you feel brave. We don't guarantee anything -except that it will take up disk space, but if you have the time and -skills, please give it a spin on your platforms. - -Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since -April of 1996. The May 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 running on more than 60% of the -Internet web servers. - -For more information, please check out http://www.apache.org/httpd.html - -Known problems with Apache 2.0b1 - - *) WARNING: Apache 2.0b1 is not expected to run on Windows 95, 98 or ME. - The intitial production release of Apache 2.0 is expected to run on - these consumer operating systems, but they cannot be recommended as - production environments due to the lack of integrated security and - robustness. - - *) The canonical paths are being overhauled. This affects especially - Win32 users with this release. Due to this transitional state, - file with names containing non-ASCII characters may refuse serve. - This is in preparation for the next release, users will be able to - serve any Unicode named files with Apache/Win32 on Windows NT/2000. - - *) Win32 users will see no message when Apache 2.0b1 is started as a - console. While normal for unix, this differs from the behavior in - Apache 1.3 on Windows. - - -Changes with Apache 2.0b1 - - *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6, - Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the - Listen, NameVirtualHost, and directives support IPv6 - numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080"). - [Jeff Trawick] - - *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in - modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but - we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories - are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom] - - *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom] - - *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of - which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack - for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the - necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC - was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make - the scripts a bit easier. - [Ryan Bloom] - - *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout - on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick] - - *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and - be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects - that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules - didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly. - [Ryan Bloom] - - *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer - available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick] - - *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] - - *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts - after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom] - - *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a - content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to - have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we - can compute the content-length in the byterange filter. - [Ryan Bloom] - - *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows. - [Allan Edwards] - - *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way - they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been - called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when - the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool. - [Jeff Trawick] -
