Apache HTTP Server 2.3.11-beta Released

  The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
  pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.11-beta of the Apache HTTP
  Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is our initial Beta release
  of Apache httpd 2.4 to test new technology and features that are incompatible
  or too large for the stable 2.2.x branch. This Beta release should not be
  presumed to be compatible with binaries built against any prior or future
  version, although, as a Beta, the API is in a semi-frozen state.

  Apache HTTP Server 2.3.11-beta is available for download from:

    http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

  Apache 2.3 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
  boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
  introduced since 2.3 please see:

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

  Please see the CHANGES_2.3 file, linked from the download page, for a
  full list of changes.

  This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.2
  and APR-Util version 1.3.10 in a separate -deps tarball.  The APR libraries
  must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly.

  This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API.  Modules written
  for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
  2.3, and require minimal or no source code changes.

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Maven 3.0.3

Maven is a project comprehension and build tool, designed to simplify the process of maintaining a healthy development lifecycle for your project. You can read more here:

   http://maven.apache.org/

Downloads of source and binary distributions are listed in our download section:

   http://maven.apache.org/download.html

A major goal of Maven 3.0.x is to be compatible, to the extent possible, with existing plugins and projects designed for Maven 2.x. Users interested in upgrading to 3.x should have a glance at the compatibility notes for known differences between Maven 3.0 and Maven 2.x:

   http://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-compatibility-notes.html

Users who already use Maven 3.0.x are encouraged to update to this new maintenance release.

If you encounter unexpected problems while using Maven 3.0.3, please feel free to contact us via the Maven developer list:
