-The security fixes are:
-<ul>
- <li> A problem with the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, allowed access to

-</ul>
-The main new features include:
-<ul>
-<li>Support for a directory-based configuration system. If any of the configuration directives
-point to directories instead of files, all files in that directory (and in subdirectories)
-will be also parsed as configuration files
-<li>Support name-based virtual hosting without needing to specify

-<li>Administrators who are nervous about their full server version details being public can
