Public bug reported:

I am requesting a FFe for Rapache 0.7 "early eagle" available and tested
for one mont in Rapache-devel PPA.

New release include more features and bugfix that we consider stable (~1
month of testing).

Major points for this release are:

Reworked UI
The edges of the user interface has been rounded a little.

* most notably: the “Virtualhost Editor” window is very polished and has not 
anymore horizontal tabs.
* Virtualhost and Module editors have a link to the respective online 
documentation. This is something very simple to implement, yet much needed.


Plugins for more advanced capabilities
Rapache enjoys now a handful plugins to let you perform common tasks easily:

* the advanced tab lets you configure less often needed things like the server 
admin e-mail, the custom error log location (along with the error log level), 
enable or disable apache’s directory listing and to setup your own default 
documents policy.
* the basic security plugin it’s basically an interface to the basic_auth 
module of Apache. This is simple but incredibly handy, you can quickly set up 
an access list (namely creating users and assigning a password to them) to any 
virtualhost. Useful for disabling or enabling access to any virtualhost with a 
click or to restrict the access to a given site without having to resort to any 
server-side technology other than Apache.
* SSL We provide a Gui to quickly set-up an https:// enabled Virtualhost. 
Certificate Request creation is provided and even certificates self signing is 
available. It takes 5-6 clicks to be in business with Apache+SSL
* We now store last 20 backups of every virtualhost you edit within Rapache. 
That means that if something goes wrong, you can quickly restore the previous 
version.
* You can also now edit the virtualhosts source at hand and save it directly 
from Rapache. You will enjoy syntax highlighting as you deserve (hey, everyone 
deserves syntax highlighting).

Apache status

* Rapache now shows Apache’s status changing its own icon color. So you can see 
at a glance if Apache is up or not.
* We put some new item in the menu bar to allow users to start/stop/restart 
Apache.
* The new “Log Files” tab allows the user to quickly browse the logs.
* Every error you get on Apache restart will be shown to the user inside a tab 
in the main window.
