It is true to say that Windows only provides embedded mode and so one wouldn't necessarily expect to see new features added which are usable on that platform either. The difference is that Windows doesn't use Apache 1.3 but is Apache 2.2 so to support it isn't really any extra effort on top of what is required to support on UNIX with Apache 2.2. The problem with Apache 1.3 is the special code which is required plus having to maintain an Apache 1.3 instance. At the moment if I really want to build for Apache 1.3 I have to go bring out my old PowerBook which is still running Tiger. That said, Windows will still benefit from some changes likely to be made around new features in Apache 2.3 for mod_session module. So, features in mod_wsgi on Windows aren't totally stagnant and you will still get new stuff related to newer versions of Apache plus anything I do decide to add related to hooking into Apache phases that can work with Apache 2.2. None of this new stuff would work with Apache 1.3 and so why no point looking after Apache 1.3 anymore.
