Dropping the VS16 downloads.
It is advised to upgrade to VS17, all VS16 binaries and modules are compatible with VS17.
Note on PHP: Only PHP 8.2 and 8.1 (build with 3.0.x) is running as module.
It is strongly advised to run e.g. PHP with mod_fcgid.
VS17 is now only Win64.
VS16 Win32 is hardly downloaded.
Do you need still a VS17 Win32 ?
Please comment.

Hi,
Good decision !
I have just, for Wampserver, stopped the 32bit support and there will be no more Apache, PHP, MySQL and MariaDB addons in 32bit.
Sincerely. |

The current today VS16 is the last.
No response to the question if you need still a VS17 Win32 ? |

I am using the Win32 package.
I'm self-hosting a hobbyist website on a Win10 32bit computer. I know that 32bit Windows is fading out and I understand that most Apache users moved to 64bit long time ago but I would like to continue running the machine as long as Win10 32bit is supported by Microsoft.
I suppose that there are other, non-professional users like me who are doing the same. Low downloads don't mean that no one is using it.

I understand the reasoning as to why Steffen wishes to drop 32-bit builds, but equally can appreciate there are users out there who wish to host the latest Apache release on 32-bit platforms.
If it's any help as a hobbyist, going forward, you can always build your own set of 32-bit Apache binaries using the following site HowTo:- https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=8609.
This HowTo is still being updated to track package updates. |

Thank you for the howto. Looks challenging... Don't know if I'm able to get it work.
Even Win32 is dying, Apache (more precise: this Win32 build for it) is the first application I'm using that stops supporting it. Even the newest PHP 8.2 still publishs binaries for. Truely this will change (for good reason) when Microsofts support ends in 2025, but I think until then it's worth to keep things running.
Just my two cent, I'm not the maintainer, of course. |
