Later, we always wait some time, to see if issues pop up. And need testing.

Vote has passed, no changes in the RC.

Thanks all for testing !!

Tomorrow or Thursday we release.

Antivirus throwing up warnings...

Desktop\httpd-2.4.68-rc1-Win64\Apache24\bin\luac.exe
Desktop\httpd-2.4.68-rc1-Win64\Apache24\bin\brotli.exe
Desktop\httpd-2.4.68-rc1-Win64\Apache24\bin\lua.exe
Desktop\httpd-2.4.68-rc1-Win64\Apache24\bin\xmlcatalog.exe
Desktop\httpd-2.4.68-rc1-Win64\Apache24\bin\xmlwf.exe

Never had this happen before with an apachelounge build.

Which AV product are you using?

On my Windows 11 platform, Microsoft Defender (1.453.11.0) finds no issues with the files in the 2.4.68-rc1 release candidate folder. Have just tried a manual scan to confirm.

Yes, on my platform Windows 11 Defender also does not find viruses, but:

Maybe false positive or old definitions?

this is concerning but even more concerning is that they released it knowing about this...

comparing both version affected dependencies seems it wasn't changed too much so I wonder why this is different, I don't think I gonna install this in my server.

Did you even read the virustotal reports? 1 out of 71 security vendors flagged brotli.exe and lua.exe as malicious ... What did you expect Steffen to do?

Just to add, Apache Lounge builds are created using the latest available release of Microsoft Visual Studio 18.

The May releases of VS18 contain updated code optimizations, and optional changes to heap management in executables (Segment Heap) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2026/release-notes. The Apache Lounge builds are not using this Segment Heap feature.

It's entirely possible that the newly compiled code is being interpreted as false positives by some AV products, that have yet to fine-tune their signatures for the revised Microsoft coding.

What's clear is the source code for the binaries mentioned above (lua, brotli, and libxml2), hasn't changed since the previous release of Apache Lounge httpd, so the only real difference is the compiler.

I don't consider these AV alerts a major cause for concern.
