[Massimo]

Hi all,

i've seen there is this new build, is it 100% backword compatible with 2.2.17?

(i've read some problems about htpasswd etc..)

thanks

2.2.21 seems to be running fine over here, and I even took the
opportunity to upgrade to PHP 5.3.8 (as module).

The one thing to remember about builds after 2.2.17 is that if you have
crypt digests for any of your passwords stored in .htpasswd files, you
will need to regenerate them. MD5 is apparently not affected by this
issue, and it also appears to be only an OS/2 thing, as we've not found
any mention of it on any of the regular Apache sites.

For more on the htpasswd issue see
