boosts over the 2.2 codebase. For an overview of new features

full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.3 includes only
those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release. A summary of all

This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x
and APR-Util version 1.4.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all
features of httpd to operate correctly.
This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.

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.
NOTE to Windows users: The issues with AcceptFilter None replacing
Win32DisableAcceptEx appears to have resolved starting with version
2.4.3 make Apache httpd 2.4.x suitable for Windows servers.
