Hello All,
The Apache team is getting close to releasing a new version and need a few
people to test the new Windows installer. The installer has been tested with
WinNT and Win2k - however, it could use testing on Win 95/98. This should
be a very simple task compared to the testing we normally do! (x-ing fingers
:)
The latest rc is available at
http://www.apache.org/~wrowe/apache_1.3.17-win32-rc5.msi
The pertinant list
is new-httpd@apache.org (sub at new-httpd-subscribe@apache.org)
Note: Please send any replies on this thread directly to me. Now that I have
your attention, we should probably keep this off of the QA list. :)
Thanks!
Zak
