Apache HTTP Server 2.3.16-beta Released

   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
   pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.16-beta of the Apache
   HTTP Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is our fifth beta
   release (and is considered as our first Release Candidate) to test
   new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for
   the stable 2.2.x branch. This beta release should not be presumed to
   be compatible with binaries built against any prior version, but is
   expected to accurately represent the API to be found in Apache HTTPD
   2.4.0.

   Apache HTTP Server 2.3.16-beta is available for download from:

     http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   Apache 2.3 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
   boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
   introduced since 2.3 please see:

     http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

   Please see the CHANGES_2.3 file, linked from the download page, for a
   full list of changes.

   This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.5
   and APR-Util version 1.4.1 in a separate -deps tarball.  The APR libraries
   must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly.

   This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API.  Modules written
   for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
   2.3, and require minimal or no source code changes.
