-                Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released
+            Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released
 
-   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project
-   are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.2 of the Apache
-   HTTP Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is our 2nd 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 version of Apache is
-   principally a security and bug fix release, including the following
-   security fix:
-
-    *) SECURITY: CVE-2012-0883 (cve.mitre.org)
-       envvars: Fix insecure handling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH that could
-       lead to the current working directory to be searched for DSOs.
-
-   Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 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_2.4.2 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 1.4.x
-   and APR-Util version 1.4.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.
-
-   NOTE to Windows users: AcceptFilter None has replaced Win32DisableAcceptEx 
-        and the feature appears to have interoperability issues with mod_ssl.
-        Apache 2.4.2 may not yet be suitable for all Windows servers.  There 
-        is not yet a Windows binary distribution of httpd 2.4, but this is
-        expected to be remedied soon as various dependencies graduate from
-        beta to GA.
