cvs commit: modperl-2.0 README
stas 2002/12/31 20:10:49
Modified: . README
Log:
shape up the README file:
- most important mention up to which Apache version the released version
is expected to work with, to reduce a number of questions on the mod_perl
list, when people try the latest Apache.
- do require Perl 5.6.1, to avoid faulty bug reports
- give credits to TicketMaster

As you can from the repeated bug reports on the modperl list, we want to
explicitly state the highest supported Apache version with the released
mod_perl version (in addition to the lowest). So please make sure to
adjust the top number when releasing a new version. I believe that
2.0.43 is the correct one for the moment.
