經過5個月漫長的等待與研發過程,全球最多網站主機使用的免費伺服器軟體Apache,終於在日前正式推出了新版本Apache 2.2.2,取代原先的2.2.0,建議所有使用Apache網頁伺服器軟體的網站更新,這次也首度推出Windows平台的2.2系列版本。
另外,針對原本Apache 2.0系列的用戶,也推出Apache 2.0.58的更新版本。
同時,還針對原本Apache 1.0系列的用戶,推出Apache 1.3.35的更新版本。
Apache 2.2.2正式版的更新列表如下(大多是安全性更新和效率改進):

     non-SSL request is processed for an SSL vhost (such as the
     "HTTP request received on SSL port" error message when an 400 
     ErrorDocument is configured, or if using "SSLEngine optional").
     PR 37791.  [Rüdiger Plüm, Joe Orton]
  *) SECURITY: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_imagemap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting

     [Mark Cox]
  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Flushing of the output after each AJP chunk is now
     configurable at runtime via the 'flushpackets' and 'flushwait' worker
     params. Minor MMN bump. [Jim Jagielski]

     PR 38403. [Jim Jagielski]
  *) mod_isapi: Fix compiler errors on Unix platforms.
     [William Rowe]

     connection: keep-alive and do not close backend connection if the client
     sent connection: close. PR 38524. [Ruediger Pluem, Joe Orton]
  *) mod_disk_cache: Return the correct error codes from bucket read 
     failures, instead of APR_EGENERAL.
     [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>]
  *) Add APR/APR-Util Compiled and Runtime Version numbers to the
     output of 'httpd -V'. [William Rowe]
  *) http: If a connection is aborted while waiting for a chunked line, 
     flag the connection as errored out.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

     [Ruediger Pluem]
  *) Fix mis-shifted 32 bit scope, masked to 64 bits as a method.
     [Will Rowe, Joe Orton]
  *) mod_proxy: Fix KeepAlives not being allowed and set to
     backend servers. PR 38602. [Ruediger Pluem, Jim Jagielski]
  *) Fix instdso.sh "sed syntax error" installation issue on some
     platforms.  PR 38108.  [Masaoki Kobayashi <masaoki techfirm.co.jp>]

     child process. [Ruediger Pluem]
  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Crosscheck the length of the body chunk with the length of
     the ajp message to prevent mod_proxy_ajp from reading beyond the buffer
     boundaries and thus revealing possibly sensitive memory contents to the
     client. [Ruediger Pluem]
  *) Ensure that the proper status line is written to the client, fixing
     incorrect status lines caused by filters which modify r->status without 
     resetting r->status_line, such as the built-in byterange filter.
     [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_speling: Stop crashing with certain non-file requests. [Jeff Trawick]
  *) mod_cache: Make caching of reverse proxies possible again. PR 38017.
     [Ruediger Pluem]

     using Solaris make (amoung others) and avoid breakage in ./buildconf
     when srclib/apr[-util] are symlinks rather than directories proper.
     [William Rowe]
  *) Avoid Server-driven negotiation when a script has emitted an 
     explicit Status: header.  PR 38070.  [Nick Kew]
