“Apache 2.0 offers numerous enhancements, improvements and
performance boosts over the 1.3 codebase. The most visible and
noteworthy addition is the support for the lightweight process
model known as threads. This means the beta works well on Windows
and improves the scalability of the Apache HTTPD server
significantly.”
‘We’ve taken the Web Server and added some critical elements
that will help it grow in the years to come. For instance, Apache
2.0 allows system administrators to tailor their Web server
specifically for their site and machines, using the
multi-processing module support and the filtered input/output,’
said Ryan Bloom, Vice President Apache Portable Run-Time
Project.”
