As far as I remember there was a desire to release 2.2.7 soon as 2.2.6 introduced some incompatibilities with mod_fastcgi and mod_perl on Windows due to changes to avoid file descriptor leaks on Windows. Other Bill worked hard on the needed fixes in APR and so the original plan was to wait on the next APR 1.2.x release containing these fixes before releasing 2.2.7. But it turned out that Bill's fixes for APR could not be backported to 1.2.x due to APR's versioning rules. Then Bill proposed a patch for 2.2.x in the STATUS file which I commented on:
http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/httpd-2.0-2.2-procattr-bugfix-log.c.patch Is this patch now essentially the show stopper for 2.2.7 (as we want to fix the situation on Windows that started with 2.2.6)? Or do we have to wait for the next 1.2.x APR release to solve this issue (or possible other issues)? I saw that besides many other things Bill worked a lot on the Windows make files for APR. Are they a wanted prerequisite for 2.2.7? Regards Rüdiger
