                        Issue 170: 20th August 1999

     _In this issue_
     * [6]Apache 1.3.9 Released
     * [7]Apache Status
     * [8]Under development

                             Apache 1.3.9 Released

   Apache 1.3.9 was released on 20th August 1999 and is now the latest
   version of the Apache server. The previous release was 1.3.6 (versions
   1.3.7 and 1.3.8 were never made publically available). Apache 1.3.9 is
   available in source form for compiling on Unix or Windows, in
   pre-compiled form for many common versions of Unix, and pre-compiled
   as an single-file installer on Windows. All the pre-compiled forms
   also include full source code. All all available for download from any
   [9]Apache local download site.

   This is a bug fix and minor upgrade release, with a few new features.
   Users on Unix systems should upgrade to fix various bugs. Users on
   Windows systems will find a number of useful fixes and improvements so
   should definitely upgrade.

New features

   The main new features in 1.3.9 (compared to 1.3.6) are:
     * A New Mass virtual hosting module has been added making it easy to
       have sites with many hundred (or thousand) virtual hosts. [10]More
       Details.
     * Sites with a large number of virtual hosts will find Apache starts
       up and restarts much faster as the checking of all the document
       root directories can be disabled. [11]More Details.
     * Support for XML 1.0. Although XML is not currently used within the
       core of Apache, a number of add-on modules will find this useful.
       [12]More Details.
     * A new authentication module which conforms to the latest digest
       authentication draft standard has been added. This module is
       marked as experimental but should be used instead of the old
       mod_digest module which was not supported by browsers. [13]More
       Details.
     * The directives used to configure environment variables passed to
       CGI scripts (such as SetEnv) can now be altered on a per-directory
       basis. This means they can now be used inside .htaccess files.
       [14]More Details
     * A change to the automatic index generation module, mod_autoindex
       allows the ReadmeName and Headername files to be determined by
       multiviews or be server-parsed documents.
     * Changes to the directive "SetEnvIf" to allow it to test
       environment vaiables as well as the request protocol. [15]More
       Details.
     * Updated support for Mac OS X [16]More Details), Tandem, and TPF
       platforms.
     * Lots of updates to allow DSO support for various platforms.
     * A New directive allows the mod_usertrack module to customise the
       name of the cookie used for tracking users. [17]More Details.
     * Add "force-no-vary" variable to allow servers to work around
       clients that choke on "Vary" fields in the response header.
       [18]More Details.
     * The problem with Basic Authentication passwords on Windows with
       Apache 1.3.6 has been fixed.
     * A new encoding method for Basic Authentication passwords, SHA1,
       has been added. This allows compatibility with passwords used on
       Netscape servers. [19]More Details.
     * The Windows version of Apache has been updated so that it can be
       compiled with Visual Studio 6 and use InstallShield 5.5 for the
       installer.
     * Changes to Apache on Windows to bring it into line with the
       behaviour on Unix: CGI scripts now run non-buffered on the NT
       platform, error messages sent by CGI scripts are now correctly
       logged to the error log, graceful restarts are now correctly
       handled. [20]More Details.

                                 Apache Status

   _Apache Web Server Site_: [21]www.apache.org
