In light of current events, here's a policy statement I'd like to propose for consideration (just a discussion item at this point);
The APR project strongly discourages any release of the APR software with modifications of the API. This includes shipping ".0-dev" pre release source code which has not yet been adopted in an official APR release. Any such use is in violation of the Apache APR trademark. Private releases which include API modifications must not use the name Apache APR and must not use the same publicly installed library and header file names, or must not be installed or configured to be installed to the platform-specific, conventional shared paths such as /usr/bin/, /usr/include, %windir%\system32 etc. Nothing in this policy precludes the application of patches or bug fixes conforming to the released API, although the Apache APR project strongly encourages authors to submit such fixes to the project. Snapshots of the current development trees are available for a short period of time at http://svn.apache.org/snapshots/, these are not provided for redistribution. Developers are encouraged to test against these snapshots or the SVN development tree, propose API enhancements and patches to the project, and participate in the API discussion. See the guidelines at; http://apr.apache.org/patches.html for additional details. thoughts?/
