                      Apache HTTP Server 2.2.26 Released

  The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
  pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.26 of the Apache HTTP
  Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is principally a bug fix
  maintenance release.

  We consider the Apache HTTP Server 2.4 release to be the best version
  of Apache available, and encourage users of 2.2 and all prior versions
  to upgrade.  This 2.2 maintenance release is offered for those unable
  to upgrade at this time.  For further details, see:

    http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.4.txt

  Apache HTTP Server 2.4 and 2.2.26 are available for download from:

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

  Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a
  full list of changes.  A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.26 includes only
  those changes introduced since the prior 2.2 release.  A summary of all 
  of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases 
  is available:

    http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

  This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.8
  and APR Utility Library (APR-util) version 1.5.2, bundled with the tar
  and zip distributions.  The APR libraries libapr and libaprutil (and
  on Win32, libapriconv version 1.2.1) must all be updated to ensure
  binary compatibility and address many known security and platform bugs.
  APR-util version 1.5 represents a minor version upgrade from earlier
  httpd 2.2 source distributions.

  This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.0 API and is superceeded
  by the Apache 2.4 API.  Modules written for Apache 2.0 or 2.4 will need
  to be recompiled in order to run with Apache 2.2, and most will 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.
