Hi all, After what feels like ages, we're just about ready to stabilize apache-2.4. Since this is a major upgrade that in many cases require configuration changes, we wanted to do a news item. After some discussion with Lars (Poly-C), here's an initial attempt at a draft.
=== Title: Upgrading Apache from 2.2 to 2.4 Author: Dirkjan Ochtman <d...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2016-01-13 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: www-servers/apache Upstream released the 2.4 version of the Apache HTTPD almost 4 years ago. Though many users have moved to other HTTP servers, Portage still has quite a few reverse dependencies, so it took the small team of maintainers until now to bring Apache 2.4 to stable. In part, this is because Apache 2.4 overhauls some often-used parts of the configuration; chances that you will have to make some changes to your configuration are quite high. On the other hand, apache-2.4.18 includes support for HTTP 2.0, so you get that (almost) for free! Rather than trying to enumerate all the differences here, we'd like to point you to the upstream upgrading document, which can be found here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html For more information on all the new features, start here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html === Please use your usual 72 hours of feedback window fruitfully! Cheers, Dirkjan
