  recommended over all previous releases. This version of Apache is
  principally a security and bug fix release, including the following

  Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
  boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
  introduced since 2.4 please see:

  This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x
  and APR-Util version 1.4.x. 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
  2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.

  When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
  that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
  than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
  using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.
