     A new release of Apache 2.0, version 2.0.36, is currently in
     testing and may be released publicly soon after the weekend. The
     changes in 2.0.36 include (along with those [1]covered previously):
     * the AcceptPathInfo directive has been fixed ([2]BZ#8234)
     * a fix for mod_ssl when using virtual host with long hostnames
       ([3]BZ#8572)
     * many fixes and improvements to the worker MPM
     * fix for subrequest handling which resulted in invalid
       Content-Length headers being returned when using certain
       combinations of modules ([4]BZ#7966)
     * fixes for Windows ([5]BZ#8014, [6]BZ#8009)

     An additional change included in 2.0.36 makes the ApacheBench (ab)
     utility use non-blocking connect() calls: previously, the whole
     program would be blocked whenever a new connection was established

Apache Week issue 295

                               Under development

     The hot topic on the development list this week was the recommended
     command used to start the web server in 2.0. A number of changes
     since 1.3 mean that (at least on some platforms) starting the
     server is no longer as simple as running bin/httpd from a freshly
     installed binary build. Several proposals were made to remedy the
     situation; integration of apachectl's start/stop/restart
     functionality into the httpd binary itself proved popular.

     Only one major problem has been found in the 2.0.36 release
     completed [1]last week; problems with semaphore handling
     ([2]BZ#8124) which mean that mod_ssl will stop serving requests
     after a period of time. (The bug also affects mod_rewrite if
     RewriteLogLevel is set above 0). Other changes committed since
     2.0.36 include:
     * SSL CONNECT tunnelling has been fixed in mod_proxy ([3]BZ#8903)
     * fix for using mod_userdir and ScriptAlias to enable CGI in home

     As covered [1]last week, support for apachectl's start/stop/restart
     functionality has been integrated into the httpd binary itself for
     the next release of Apache 2.0, using the -k command line option.
     The intention is that in basic installations, the HTTP server can
     be started by running httpd -k start, and stopped using httpd -k
     stop.

     The naming of release archives was raised as a possible source of
