+ Apache HTTP Server 2.4.1 Released
+</h1>
+<p>
+ The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
+ pleased to announce the GA release of version 2.4.1 of the Apache
+ HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is our first GA
+ release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD.
+</p>
+<p>
+ We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and
+ encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Apache HTTP Server 2.4.1 is available for download from:
+</p>
+<dl>
+ <dd><a href="http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi"
+ >http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi</a></dd>
+</dl>
+<p>
+ Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a
+ full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.1 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:

+<dl>
+ <dd><a href="http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html"
+ >http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html</a>
+ </dd>
+</dl>
+<p>
+ 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.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Apache HTTP Server 2.4 provides a number of improvements and enhancements
+ over the 2.2 version. A listing and description of these features is
+ available via:

+ http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/new_features_2_4.html</a></dd>
+</dl>
+<p>
+ 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.

+</dl>
+<p>
+ 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.
