                                 Apache Status

   _Apache Site_: [11]www.apache.org
   _Release:_ 1.3.6 (Released 25th March 1999) ([12]local download sites)
   _Beta:_ None

   Apache 1.3.6 is the current stable release. Users of Apache 1.3.4 and
   earlier on Unix systems should upgrade to this version. Read the
   [13]Guide to 1.3.6 for information about changes between 1.3.4 and
   1.3.6 and between 1.2 and 1.3.6.

   Most bugs listed below include a link to the entry in the Apache bug
   database where the problem is being tracked. These entries are called
   "PR"s (Problem Reports). Some bugs do not correspond to problem
   reports if they are found by developers.

Bugs in 1.3.6

   These bugs have been found in 1.3.6 and will be fixed in the next
   release.
     * ASCII/EBCDIC conversions were not handled correctly for ident
       requests. This affects TPF and BS2000 platforms
     * Some warnings are given when compiling on various Macintosh
       platforms.
     * The mod_rewrite directives RewriteLock, RewriteMap do not work
       correctly with virtual hosts. [14]PR#3874
     * IP addresses with specified netmasks (such as 192.168.2.4/24) were
       not correctly handled by mod_acess. [15]PR#4770

                               Under Development

   Patches for bugs in Apache 1.3.6 will be made available in the
   apply_to_1.3.6 subdirectory of the [16]patches directory on the Apache
   site. Some new features and other unofficial patches are available in
   the [17]1.3 patches directory. For details of all previously reported
   bugs, see the Apache [18]bug database and [19]known bugs pages. Many
   common configuration questions are answered in the [20]Apache FAQ.

Netscape Style Passwords Supported

   Netscape web servers use a different password encoding scheme to
   Apache. This means that if you move password protection from a
   Netscape server to an Apache-based one, you will have to re-issue all
   existing users' new passwords. From the next release, Apache will
   support Netscape style encrypted passwords allowing easy migration.

Simple Log File Rotation

   A small third-party utility has been written to allow log files to be
   quickly split and processed. The utility creates a new log file for
   each day with the date as the extension. When a new log file is
   created the old one is post-processed, allowing it to be compressed or
   moved to another location, for example. The utility, logbox, is
   currently available from
   [21]ftp://ftp.lemuria.org/pub/Code/logbox.tar.gz

Support for Tandem Computers machines

   The next release of Apache will compile and run on Tandem Computers
   machines.

                              Next Apache Release

   A new release of the version 1.3 Apache web server is currently being
   worked on. The new release will fix a number of the problems and bugs
   that we've mentioned over the past few months as well as adding a few
   small new features and some improved platform support. It was
   originally anticipated that the new version, 1.3.7, would be released
   this week but last minute testing found an additional problem. Because
   of this, 1.3.7 was not publically released and the next public version
   is likely to be 1.3.8. We will have a full round-up of the new release
   in Apache Week shortly after it becomes available.

                              Apache in the News

   Dr. Dobbs Journal reports on [22]The Negotiator. The story looks at
   one of the Apache Group members who was instrumental in IBM's
   involvement in Apache as well as the recent move by Sun to release
   Java pages code to the the Apache Foundation.
