            Apache HTTP Server 2.3.16-beta Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.16-beta of the Apache
HTTP Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is our fifth beta
release (and is considered as our first Release Candidate) to test
new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for
the stable 2.2.x branch. This beta release should not be presumed to
be compatible with binaries built against any prior version, but is
expected to accurately represent the API to be found in Apache HTTPD
2.4.0.

Apache HTTP Server 2.3.16-beta is available for download from:

 http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Apache 2.3 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.3 please see:

 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

Please see the CHANGES_2.3 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes.

This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.5
and APR-Util version 1.4.1 in a separate -deps tarball.  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
2.3, and require minimal or no source code changes.
