Hi all,

The next version of mod_jk is approaching its release. A code snapshot
(revision 605168) is available at:

http://people.apache.org/~rjung/mod_jk-dev/

It is in the same format as a release download, so easy to build.
Under the same URL you can find the updated documentation.

It would be nice, if we could get some testing feedback from the
community. Feel free to post any observations.

Depending on your feedback we plan to tag the release at the end of the
week.

The most important changes are:

Features/Improvements
---------------------

- allow '*' for the worker name in exclusion rules
  (resp. JkUnMount) which will override all workers
- add new value "All" for JkMountCopy httpd directive
- enhance URI to worker map listing in status worker for Apache httpd.
  We now list maps for all virtual servers and not only the one,
  in which JKStatus itself was called.
- enhance URI to worker map listing.
  Update stale uriworkermap.properties immediately.

The Apache Tomcat team is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of version 1.2.25 of the Apache Tomcat Connectors.

It contains connectors, which allow a web server such as Apache HTTPD,
Microsoft IIS and Sun Web Server to act as a front end to the Tomcat web
application server.

This version contains several enhancements and fixes a number of minor
bugs of the previous versions.

See http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/miscellaneous/changelog.html
for a complete list of changes.

Source distribtions can be downloaded from an Apache Software Foundation
mirror at:

http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi

Binary distributions for a number of different operating systems and
web servers can be downloaded from an Apache Software Foundation mirror at:

http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi

Syncing the release to the download mirrors might take up to 48 hours.

Hi all,

unfortunately we had to withdraw mod_jk 1.2.24. It had a serious
regression bug. To ensure the quality of the new 1.2.25 we invite you to
actively participate in testing.

A code snapshot (revision 562250) is available at:

http://people.apache.org/~rjung/mod_jk-dev/

It is in the same format as a release download, so easy to build.
Under the same URL you can find the updated documentation.

It would be really nice, if we could get some testing feedback from the
community. Feel free to post any observations.

Depending on your feedback we plan to tag the release next week.

The most important changes after 1.2.24 are:

- fix flushing regression bug
- fix behaviour of fail_on_status
- additional soft error mode for fail_on_status
- bug fixes for nsapi plugin (see changelog)

The full change log is available under:

http://people.apache.org/~rjung/mod_jk-dev/docs/miscellaneous/changelog.html

Thanks for your valuable time!

Regards,

Rainer

The Apache Tomcat team needs to withdraw release 1.2.24 of the Apache
Tomcat Connectors.

The release contains a bug that prevents the correct flushing of parts
of responses from the web server to the client. This might result in
unpredicted communication behaviour. We therefore have removed the
source and binary distributions from the origin server.

A fix for the problem has already been committed. We expect release of
version 1.2.25 in sometime next week.

We apologise for any inconvenience,

-- The Apache Tomcat Team
