eAccelerator 0.9.5.2 for PHP 5.2.6 released
Steffen writes on Sunday 04 May
We made eAccelerator 0.9.5.2 for PHP 5.2.6 available at our Downloads page.
eAccelerator is a PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.

mod_sed available: input/output content filter
Steffen writes on Wednesday 30 April
Thanks to Basant Kukreja (Sun Microsystems) we can make mod_sed available. He has updated the original sed code to be thread-safe and reentrant and to use APR pools.
Mod_sed is a in-process content filter. Unlike its predecessors, like line_edit, it can filter input as well as output.

ModSecurity 2.5.3 Released
Steffen writes on Saturday 26 April
ModSecurity 2.5.3 was released today with Core Rules 1.6.1. ModSecurity fixes a few minor issues, however the Core Rules fixed a number of issues which may miss detection. Please consider the upgrade to Core Rules 1.6.1 a required upgrade if you are currently running 1.6.0. While you should keep up-to-date with ModSecurity releases, 2.5.3 is not required unless you are running into the issues that have been fixed.
Changes with 2.5.3:
* Fixed issue where the exec action may not be able to execute shell scripts.
* Macros are now expanded in expirevar and deprecatevar.
* Fixed crash if a persistent variable name was more than 126 haracters.
* Updated included Core Ruleset to version 1.6.1 which fixes some false negative issues in the migration to using some 2.5 features.
Windows binary, with LUA and Libxml enabled, can be downloaded from Apache Lounge as always. Updated also libxml2 to version 2.6.32.

Subversion modules svn-1.4.6 available
Tom & Steffen writes on Saturday 29 March
We can make the Subversion 1.4.6 modules for Apache 2.2.4 and up available. It is build with Berkeley db 4.4.20. And it does not require Subversion to be installed on the Apache system (i.e. it is self-contained).
Read notes Here...
What is Subversion?
Subversion (svn) is a free/open-source version control system, a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community. Subversion manages files and directories, and the changes made to them, over time. This allows you to recover older versions of your data, or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of “time machine”.
Subversion can operate across networks, which allows it to be used by people on different computers. At some level, the ability for various people to modify and manage the same set of data from their respective locations fosters collaboration. Progress can occur more quickly without a single conduit through which all modifications must occur. And because the work is versioned, you need not fear that quality is the trade-off for losing that conduit—if some incorrect change is made to the data, just undo that change.

Apache 2.2.8 download build with Visual Studio® 2008
Steffen writes on Saturday 08 March
Build with Visual Studio® 2008 aka VC9 (also zlib and openssl).
The supported Windows I have bumped up, this speed things up at run time some small bit. And also we would not miss functionality that are defined in the newer Windows version.
Minimum system required:
Windows Server 2008
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003 SP1
Windows XP SP2
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
Interesting new in VC9 is:
The compiler contains tuning for the Intel Core microarchitecture during code generation. This tuning is on by default and cannot be disabled as it also helps Pentium 4 and other processors.

Please report any issues.

Installing Apache with SSL on Windows by Microsoft
Steffen writes on Sunday 02 March
This guide will show how to install Apache with SSL on Windows. The guide is based on the Binary from the Apache Lounge :)
Often SSL or TLS is required to secure data from web applications. Sometimes this is just prudent to prevent confidential or sensitive data from being confiscated. Sometimes this is required by regulations like HIPAA or industry bodies, such as the Payment Card Industry.

Binaries for windows are now available at our download page
The final version of ModSecurity 2.5.0 is now available! ModSecurity 2.5.0 is the first release of the 2.5.x branch, the long awaited next stable version of ModSecurity. It introduces many significant features and improvements.
ModSecurity version 2.1.6 (now old Stable) contains four backports from the 2.5 branch. This new release introduces SecUploadFileMode (which can be used to allow daemon processes to inspect intercepted files), enable macro expansion in setenv and fix several small issues.
