Apache 2.2.0正式版推出

全球最多網站主機使用的免費伺服器軟體Apache（11月統計，佔有率達到全球網站主機的69.89%），日前正式推出了2.2.0版本，取代原先的2.0.55，建議所有使用Apache網頁伺服器軟體的網站更新。

新的Apache 2.2，增加了Smart Filtering, Improved Caching, AJP Proxy, Proxy Load Balancing, Graceful Shutdown support, Large File Support, the Event MPM, and refactored Authentication/Authorization等等功能，算是相當重大的改進。

目前全球7440萬個網站中，有超過5200萬台伺服器使用Apache系列伺服器軟體，微軟的IIS系列佔20.55%，SUN的佔有率為2.54%，其它的則不到0.79%。

Apache 2.2.0正式版的更新列表如下（大多是安全性更新和效率改進）：

*) mod_negotiation: Minor performance tweak by reusing already calculated
strlen.
[Ruediger Pluem, Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]

*) Remove support for 'On' and 'Off' for AuthBasicProvider and
AuthDigestProvider. [Joshua Slive, Justin Erenkrantz]

whether or not Apache will ever use the actual physical port
when constructing the canonical port number. [Jim Jagielski]

*) mod_dav: Fix a null pointer dereference in an error code path during the
handling of MKCOL.
[Ruediger Pluem, Ghassan Misherghi <ghassanm ucdavis.edu>]

match for scheme and host, but case sensitive for the rest of
the path. [Jim Jagielski, Ruediger Pluem]

*) Require use of APR >= 1.2.0 and APR-util >= 1.2.0 when configured
to use external copies of the libraries. [Joe Orton]
