v2.0 for OS/2

Apache HTTP Server v2.0 was released for general availability on the 5th April 2002. The OS/2 distribution ZIP includes a standard install tree (no source). The source can be downloaded from http://httpd.apache.org/. The build supports loadable modules though it should be noted that modules built for v1.3.x will not work with it. Look for the LoadModule directives in the httpd.conf file to see what's included.

New features in v2.0

With Apache Server v2.0 comes a serious reorganization of code that makes it much easier to take full advantage of a platform's features, especially non-unix platforms like OS/2. The OS/2 specific enhancements that have been implemented in Apache v2.0 include

Multi-threaded, multi-process design for greatly reduced memory consumption, better performance & high stability. An access violation causes only the death of the offending thread, not the whole server. The fork() system call is not used to create server processes, removing the memory problems that v1.3 could encounter.
Bypassing of the EMX unix compatibility library for both file and network I/O by using OS/2 API calls directly for better performance.

Comments, questions and bug reports can be sent to bjh@apache.org or posted to the Apache for OS/2 mailing list.
