[users@httpd] Apache 2.1 when?

[db <db...@traceroute.dk>]

Hi all

I've searched http://httpd.apache.org/ but couldn't find the info I was 
looking for, so I hope someone here can help me.
I want to write a module for apache 2.x, but as far as I could see the module 
API is not "stable" yet. I'm guessing this will happen around the next stable 
2.X release? Which will be apache 2.1? But when will this happen? (I'm not 
expecting a precise date, but is it one month or one year from now?)

I've found a lot of tutorials on module writing, but most of them are out of 
date and/or not very comprehensive, so does anyone know if there is a "2.1 
module api" documentation in development?

The 2.0 module-API is stable, and the developers have stated that it
will remain binary compatible to future 2.0 versions.

The 2.1 module API will not be binary compatible with 2.0, but I
believe it will be source-compatible.

2.1 is currently somewhere between alpha and beta.  It should go to
beta shortly.  When the final release (which will be called 2.2) will
happen is anyone's guess.  If I was forced, I would guess the end of
this year.

I don't think a complete doc exists.  But the doxygen stuff should be
a good reference:
