I've seen this question asked many times and I've never seen a definitive answer to the actual question being asked. When were Windows binaries discontinued from apache.org?

Subject: Re: possible FAQ: are Windows binaries for httpd no longer released?There are release binaries for Windows, see http://www.apachelounge.com/download/, or you can compile from the source codes yourself.

Thanks in advance for any clarity.Taken together, these findings make me think that Windows binary releases may have ceased formally some time after the release of 2.2.25.Please note that this is not a complaint. It's more a check of my sanity and a hope to be pointed in the right direction :-).On a related note, I also noticed that no Windows binary exists for the 2.4 branch, not even an old version.
I'm unable to find Windows binaries for 2.2.26; only 2.2.25 is available at apache.org and on all mirrors. I searched the FAQ and the mailing list archive and the only relevant thing I found is (emphasis mine):
Q. Why isn't there a binary for my platform?
A. ...The sole exception to these practices is the Windows package. Unlike most Unix and Unix-like platforms,
Windows systems do not come with a bundled software development environment, so we do prepare binary kits for
Windows when we make a release. Again, however, it's a voluntary thing and only a limited number of the developers
have the capability to build the InstallShield package, so the Windows release may lag somewhat behind the source
release. This lag should be no more than a few days at most.
If that's correct, can anyone point me to information about the specific configuration settings and build environment used for the 2.2.25 release? If I'm to build from source, I'd like to replicate the build as accurately as possible.
