The first version of mod_gzip ever written was for 2.0, not 1.3.x.
It was coded against the very first Alpha that had the filtering
code to make sure it would work OK. It did.
In December of last year when we realized how far away a
release of Apache 2.0 really is we punted and went BACKWARDS
and wrote the 1.3.x version of mod_gzip. mod_gzip now works all
the way back to 1.3.6 and even farther if you comment out the
ap_regexec() calls which didn't exist prior to that.
It currently works fine for 2.0 but I am NOT going to release any module
I have written for Apache 2.0 until there is an OFFICIAL ( non-beta )
release of the Server itself. mod_gzip isn't the only one we have
ready to go for 2.0.
The filtering stuff is still changing. I don't want any version of a
2.0 module out there until I am sure it doesn't need to be
rewritten ( or re-tested ) It just wouldn't be a good idea.
