Apache 1.3.12 Released

The Apache Software Foundation and The Apache Server Project are pleased
to announce the release of version 1.3.12 of the Apache HTTP server.

The primary changes in this version of Apache are those related to the
``cross site scripting'' security alerts described at
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-02.html
http://www.apache.org/info/css-security/index.html

Specifically, charset
handling has been improved and reinforced (including a new directive:
AddDefaultCharset) and server generated pages properly escape ``userland''
input.

A complete listing with detailed descriptions is provided in the
CHANGES file.

NOTE: This official release incorporates a slightly
different version of the original patch for the 'css' issue. In
particular, the AddDefaultCharsetName directive was removed and this
function is now completely handled by the AddDefaultCharset directive. If
you were using this patch, you will need to adjust your configuration file
to reflect this change.

[...]

So, they've applied the famous DeCSS patch, eh?
