No, it would have been already there if I didn't forget to copy them to the
WWW server after I rolled them today at the cops station :)
They're up now, at
<http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0-b6/src>
Sources only... Whoever tries to build them is more than welcome (meaning
I'm going to shoot you if you don't) to tell so, report problems and so on.
For B6, I didn't update the Makefiles for Win32, so, those still need to be
fixed, but they should work on any platform where APR has been ported to.
The APR version included is quite old, pre SMS (those who don't know what it
is, SMS is a huge piece of code that was committed some weeks ago dealing
with memory and so on, even though I trust David Reid and he told me it was
OK, I'd rather bundle an older and more secure version, found to compile
almost everywhere) and I'm planning to update to the more recent one after I
hear what comes up with Apache 2.0b21 (shouldn't change anything, just some
testing).
It's not "yet" a "beta" as it doesn't include documentation (especially for
the WARP protocol, and Jean Frederic will kill me if I don't write it - he's
in France, much closer to me than you guys in California, and so way more
scary :), and because there are still some WatchDog tests not working.
Apart from all this bullshit, it's _way_ more stable than the previous one,
the new protocol (WARP/0.9, getting close to 1.0 if this one proves
satisfactory) holds much better than the previous one (in several tests I
made, approximately 50000 hits, I never dropped the socket - whohooo!).
So, have fun, try it out, and get me some feedback :)
Cheers...
Pier
