[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache HTTP Server 2.4.18 Released
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.18 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project
are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.18 of the Apache
HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is our latest GA
release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and
represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is
recommended over all previous releases. This release of Apache is
principally a feature and bug fix release.
We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and
encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.18 is available for download from:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase. For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.4 please see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html
Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.18 includes only
those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release. A summary of all
of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases
is available:
http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html
This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.5.x
and APR-Util version 1.5.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all
features of httpd to operate correctly.
This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/VERSIONING
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.

All a@a.o must be moderated (from non-@apache addresses it hits
the bit bucket). Enjoying some time with kids and dealing with only
critical work email so this one escaped my attention, but if another
ASF member wanted to moderate, volunteers are always welcome.
Usually I catch these within the hour, but not always.

It looks like the announcement never made it to the ASF accouncement
list? The same was true for 2.4.17 but 2.4.16 was announced on that list
too.
Does it make sense to send the announcement there. Of course it has a
unusual delay now but some people might rely on that channel for the info.
Regards,
Rainer
