page https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi says Stable Release -
Latest Version:,, 2.4.46 (released 2020-08-07)
Seen at https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Stable Release - Latest Version:
2.4.46 (released 2020-08-07)
I just followed the url link at :
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/httpd/Announcement2.4.html
Then this https://httpd.apache.org/ seems similar, yet slightly
different.
I am guessing that all of this is in flow and changing now.

Sorry for the late reply.
I tend to watch the pre-release tarballs and also tend to build from
trunk. I don't post much on the mail list anymore as there is not much
interest in old Solaris 10 on big old Fujitsu SPARC64. I still have that
running and likely will for years. Some folks won't migrate. Just ask
about the battles with the Python people. That is another story.
So I see https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/httpd/
There one may click on Announcement2.4.html which has links to the
download page https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
So I likely fell onto a link that goes to the wrong place. Nothing too
serious.

Hi,
Did you reach the URL from httpd.a.o?
If yes, can you tell from where because we shouldn't point to 'dev'. I
guess that 'release' would be expected.
Anyway, see below, there is a known small time window where things can
look odd.

Right.
The 2.4.48 has been put in the dist/release directory yesterday morning.
Our release/announcement process ask for a 1 or 2 days delay so that
mirrors have time to replicate (see step 16 at [1]).
So, all this will be sorted out when the official announcement will be made.
Also, to answer another remark I got in private, the date at the top of
Announcement2.4.html for 2.4.48 will be updated automatically by our
announcement script. (see line 248 of [2])
So yes, there is a small time window where things may look strange and
one could wonder what it really up to date. I'll have a look to see if
we can easily avoid it.
