Apache 2.0.44 Released 198
rbowen writes "The Apache Software Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Apache 2.0.44, which addresses a number of security issues. Download it from your favorite mirror." Rich notes that it fixes some important security problems (under Windows) for the Windows version. Also interesting is that now there truly is a split between a development and regular releases, adopting the Linux kernel model, with 2.1 being the dev Apache tree and 2.0 being the release tree.

- Why do you guys post every single minor release?
- Damn, I just loaded 2.0.x! Stop updating the software so fast!
- I'm still using 1.9.x.
- I just downloaded it. Now what?
Ad nauseum.
Under Windows? (Score:5, Funny)
I fixed that server security problem a long time ago...I just moved my Windows server from underneath the window to the rack beside the window.

I was going to mod this up as +1 Funny, but I was afraid that nobody would "get it." So, here's the reverse dns lookup so everybody understands.

Duh.
There are other non-free good solutions (Score:5, Funny)
If you are willing to use a non-free solution like IIS, then a non-free product based upon Apache that provides SSL should be attractive to you. I am referring to IHS (IBM HTTP Server) which is a value added (to Apache) product from IBM.
hmmm, this is great! (Score:5, Funny)
I wonder... does this mean there are some security problems left in the Windows Version under OSes other than Windows?

So I guess there are quite a few people using it.
You have a buddy that runs Apache2 so all the sudden quite a few people must be using it? What kind of clusterfart extrapolation is that?

Your statement is so dumb and stupid, I don't know where to begin debunking it.
Almost every statement is a generalization.
"The sky is blue" - but not when it's cloudy or at night.
"This item costs x$" - but not if you add in taxes, transportation to get to the store.
"My table is flat" - but not if you take into account the small inperfections on the wodden surface and the tiny tilt it sure has.
"Windows is a security nightmare" - but not if you spend day and night securing the computer, maintaining virus-scanners and install and test all patches.
The ability to generalize is a basic ability of a thinking being.
P.S.: Seriously, why should anybody want to use Windows as a webserver? The only reason I can think of is when you are locked into MS-only technology like ASP which rules out Apache anyway. So why? Just because the computer came with Windows? Because Bill Gates tells you?
