2.1.8-beta available for Testing and Voting
Available at:
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/
And:
http://people.apache.org/~pquerna/dev/httpd-2.1.8/
The 2.1.8 tarball bundles a copy APR 1.2.1 and APR-Util 1.2.1.
The 2.1.8 tarball no longer includes the XML Files for generating the
documentation. Only the generated HTML Files are packaged.
All major changes are documented at:
http://people.apache.org/~pquerna/dev/httpd-2.1.8/CHANGES_2.1
Please report on testing experiences and (if applicable) vote on
releasing httpd 2.1.8-BETA. We really want both positive and all
negative experiences with this release. The more bugs we find now, the
better the 2.2.0 GA release will be!
I have done minimal testing on NetBSD 2.0, and Solaris 10/x86. I will
cast my official vote later this week.
Thanks to everyone who helped backport fixes to 2.1.8,
-Paul

Actually it occurs to me, if there are no changes to branches/2.1.8/*
(there shouldn't be) and the RM concurs, rerolling with 1.2.2 apr[-util]
or reinserting the 'missing .xml's' should be no problem, if the tarball
never moved to /dist/httpd/.
That's your call as the RM, though.

Yes, but was that a good idea?
Does it make sense to have, essentially, a binary docs distribution as
part of our source tarball?
Just go all the way and rm -rf docs/manual when building. We've been
talking about it for a while. People are much better off if they either
use the online docs or grab a set of docs that are appropriate to their
needs (windows help, single-language tarball, etc). The docs aren't
viewable in a default install in 2.1 anyway.
Joshua.

We were already removing the .xml$ files, the only change is that now we
don't distribute the orphaned .xml.meta$ and .xml.[language-code]$.

Actually, nobody ever submitted a patch to the xml docs based on the
distribution. Additionally it's always better to look for a checkout in
order to check if the error is already fixed.
I'd rather save bandwith.

s/your modern browser/Internet Explorer only/
Try some file with entities (German files usually have some)
Furthermore the docs project doesn't officially support the browser display
of the xml files. I'm going to separate them rather earlier than later (as
my time allows ;-) anyway.

I'm afraid -1 on beta (+1 to alpha), until I can roll a binary with apr
and apr-util 1.2.2 (the first to run again on Windows).
I thought apr was semi-decoupled, meaning we would include a minimum
recommended apr, but that it would be compiled against a later, system
installed flavor of apr/apr-util if found? In that case it shouldn't
be an issue to take a subversion bump up on apr.

-1 - this doesn't help folks contribute patches to docs.
If you aren't aware, your modern browser can actually display the
.xml.lang flavors of the files, meaning it's easy to make corrections
and submit them to the docs project.

Thanks for RMing. +1 for beta, httpd-tested on all-the-Linuxes here,
plus some manually testing...

Well the mod_dir + mod_cache bug is pretty serious, and affects this
release also. However that said, it's not a regression, but it is worth
noting - mod_cache is inching closer, but still not ready for GA.

NetWare has one issue that will require apr-1.2.2. The problem is in
filepath.c while validating that the path is not above root (trunk rev.
240085). At this point it is only affecting one of the SSI commands and
I don't consider it a showstopper for 2.1.8-beta. But moving to
apr-1.2.2 would be helpful.
+1 Netware

+1 for beta.
Tested on Mac OS X 10.4.2; passes all httpd-test cases.

Builds cleanly as a Solaris v2.8 package, and as an RHEL4 RPM.
Done some basic testing under RHEL4, +1.

So far so good on SLES9 x86_64. MOstly have just tested the proxy
stuff. I was getting a core in 2.1.7, but that has disappeared in 2.1.8.
