Apache 2.0 Goes Gold! 325
The Apache Software Foundation's Apache
HTTP Server, version 2.0.35, has now been released for General Availability. You can find the official announcement, and download the server, from their website. Be sure to try a mirror first. Congratulations to the HTTP Server Project for getting the final release out. If you are wondering about it being usable in a production environment, you should poke around Slashdot's servers and see if you are surprised (now if only mod_perl was finished we could move more of our servers over to using the new release).
The HTTP Server Project is now recommending this release for use on production websites. 2.0.35 is now considered their best release and should be used in preference to all older versions (including the 1.3 series). A few of the new features are:
- higher performance over 1.3
- multiple operational models: threaded, hybrid multi-processes and multi-threaded
- specific request processing for Windows, Netware, BeOS, and OS/2
- integrated SSL and WebDAV support
- improved HTTP proxy support
- I/O layering and filtering

The Pipe of Death? Does this conjur up images of developers sitting around a room saying things like.. "Man.. pass the pipe of death.. I need a hit", followed by lots of giggling and an unbelievable craving for chocolate and/or chinese food?
No? Um, ok.. must be just me then..

Really? I guess we'll find out in just a few minutes exactly *how* much more performance 2.0 has over 1.3...

This only PROVES that Microsoft has successfully ported IIS to FreeBSD!! Microsoft's new Rotor runtime for FreeBSD is already paying off handsomely, allowing them to finally ditch NT..

Chocolate cravings... mmm.... those flake ice cream cones are great for those little hunger pangs.
Hopefully however, the pipe of death will not actually conjure up any child processes. Im not quite at that stage in my life yet.
