This + improves scalability for many, but not all configurations.</dd> + + <dt>New Build System</dt> + + <dd>The build system has been rewritten from scratch to be + based on <code>autoconf</code> and <code>libtool</code>. + This makes Apache httpd's configuration system more similar to + that of other packages.</dd> + + <dt>Multiprotocol Support</dt> + + <dd>Apache HTTP Server now has some of the infrastructure in place to + support serving multiple protocols. <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_echo.html">mod_echo</a></code> has + been written as an example.</dd> + + <dt>Better support for non-Unix + platforms</dt> + + <dd>Apache HTTP Server 2.0 is faster and more stable on non-Unix + platforms such as BeOS, OS/2, and Windows. With the + introduction of platform-specific <a href="mpm.html">multi-processing modules</a> (MPMs) and the + Apache Portable Runtime (APR), these platforms are now + implemented in their native API, avoiding the often buggy and + poorly performing POSIX-emulation layers.</dd> + + <dt>New Apache httpd API</dt> + + <dd>The API for modules has changed significantly for 2.0. + Many of the module-ordering/-priority problems from 1.3 should + be gone. 2.0 does much of this automatically, and module ordering + is now done per-hook to allow more flexibility. Also, new calls + have been added that provide additional module capabilities + without patching the core Apache HTTP Server.</dd> + + <dt>IPv6 Support</dt> + + <dd>On systems where IPv6 is supported by the underlying + Apache Portable Runtime library, Apache httpd gets IPv6 listening + sockets by default. Additionally, the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#namevirtualhost">NameVirtualHost</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost">VirtualHost</a></code> directives support + IPv6 numeric address strings (e.g., "<code>Listen + [2001:db8::1]:8080</code>").</dd> + + <dt>Filtering</dt> + + <dd>Apache httpd modules may now be written as filters which act on + the stream of content as it is delivered to or from the + server. This allows, for example, the output of CGI scripts to + be parsed for Server Side Include directives using the + <code>INCLUDES</code> filter in <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code>. The + module <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ext_filter.html">mod_ext_filter</a></code> allows external programs to + act as filters in much the same way that CGI programs can act as + handlers.</dd> + + <dt>Multilanguage Error Responses</dt> + + <dd>Error response messages to the browser are now provided in + several languages, using SSI documents. They may be customized + by the administrator to achieve a consistent look and feel.</dd> + + <dt>Simplified configuration</dt> + + <dd>Many confusing directives have been simplified. The often + confusing <code>Port</code> and <code>BindAddress</code> directives + are gone; only the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> + directive is used for IP address binding; the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> directive specifies the + server name and port number only for redirection and vhost + recognition.</dd> + + <dt>Native Windows NT Unicode Support</dt> + + <dd>Apache httpd 2.0 on Windows NT now uses utf-8 for all filename + encodings. These directly translate to the underlying Unicode + file system, providing multilanguage support for all Windows + NT-based installations, including Windows 2000 and Windows XP. + <em>This support does not extend to Windows 95, 98 or ME, which + continue to use the machine's local codepage for filesystem + access.</em></dd> + + <dt>Regular Expression Library Updated</dt> + + <dd>Apache httpd 2.0 includes the <a href="http://www.pcre.org/">Perl + Compatible Regular Expression Library</a> (PCRE). All regular + expression evaluation now uses the more powerful Perl 5 + syntax.</dd> + + </dl> + </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="module" id="module">Module Enhancements</a></h2> + + + <dl> + <dt><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code></dt> + + <dd>New module in Apache httpd 2.0.
