APR and APR-util, portability and miscellaneous utility libraries, have been updated in the Cygwin net distribution to version 0.9.5_2.0.52-1. This version number deserves a bit of explanation: The 0.9.x branch of APR, used by httpd 2.0.x and Subversion 1.x is in an unpleasant limbo between being a subdirectory of the httpd source code, and an independent project in it's own right. Releases of APR itself have been annoyingly sporadic, leading to non-httpd clients of the library (such as Subversion) adopting the practice of treating "whatever is in the apache 2.0.XX tarball" as the latest released version. The current apr 0.9.x branch identifies itself as 0.9.5, presumably working towards an eventual 0.9.5 release - if that ever actually happens. Hence, this package identifies itself as "0.9.5_2.0.52", the apr 0.9.5 development version as snapshotted in the httpd-2.0.52 release. The purpose of this update is to provide anyone working on packaging Apache 2 with up-to-date apr(-util) libraries. Diffs of the upstream CHANGES file since the previous Cygwin package are at the bottom of this message, below the unsubscribe info, if you are particularly curious.
