-<P>The Apache Group is pleased to announce the release of the 1.3b7 version
- of Apache, the latest beta release of the Apache HTTP server. 1.3b7 is
- a second release candidate for Apache 1.3.0.
-
-<P>This version is stable under UNIX but remains beta-level under Win32. No
- new features are expected between 1.3b7 and 1.3.0, so please give this
- version a good thrashing in order to provide as much feedback as possible
- to the Apache Group before the release of 1.3.0.

-<LI>HTTP: fixes for 400 and 408 error codes.
-<LI>WIN32:
- <UL>
- <LI>Child process spawning now uses native Win32 API.
- This should address many problems people have had
- on Win32 - it also forced us to modify the
- related child_spawn calls in the Apache API.
- <LI>Other various stability fixes.

-<LI>Added "-s" command line option to dump out vhost settings.

+<P>
+ The Apache Group is pleased to announce the release of the long
+ awaited 1.3.0 version of the Apache HTTP server. A dozen months,
+ hundreds of patches and over 100 code contributors helped make the
+ release of 1.3.0 a reality.
+
+<P>
+ Apache 1.3.0 is the most stable version of Apache currently available;
+ everyone running 1.2.X servers or earlier should upgrade to 1.3, as we
+ will stop providing support for the 1.2.X tree, though we may make a
+ release of 1.2.7. At present, the Win95/NT port of Apache is not
+ as stable as the UNIX version. Further releases of the 1.3.x tree
+ will bring the Win95/NT port closer to parity.

-<H2>Compilation note:</H2>
-Apache 1.2 uses regular expressions for several modules, such as
-mod_rewrite. Since system-level "regex" support isn't consistent
-across platforms, we have provided Henry Spencer's regex library as a
-part of the Apache distribution, but have taken pains to only use it
-if the platform requires it. Since we don't have access to all
-operating systems out there, we may not have correctly defined the
-"WANTHSREGEX" #define for a given platform. If you get a warning
-about a missing 'regex.h', set WANTHSREGEX=yes in the 'Configuration',
-and submit a <A HREF="http://bugs.apache.org/">Problem Report</A>
-indicating you needed to do this for your platform. Include the
-output of the command "uname -a". Thanks!
+<P>Apache 1.2.6 is also available for download, though we strongly
+urge you to use the 1.3 server. We will not be putting significant
+effort towards supporting the 1.2 series.
