The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.70 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is our latest GA release of Apache HTTPD and is recommended over all previous releases.
We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.70 is available for download from:
Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.70 includes only those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release. A summary of all of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases is available:
This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), minimum version 1.5.x, and APR-Util, minimum version 1.5.x. Some features may require the 1.6.x version of both APR and APR-Util. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly.
When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.
