Apr-util-1.5.2 released

[zEitEr]

Is this installable with CB 1.2?

Yes, you should re-build apache, to get all the benefits of the new version, if you use Apache 2.4.x with CB 1.2:

Not too sure whether it is possible to use apr-util 1.5.2 with Apache 2.2.x; and it seems it's rather not possible.

And is it something that is worth the upgrade?

Yes, just check the links in the first post here in the thread

You are correct. It seems Apache 2.2.x got apr-util bundled in, so it would not be possible to upgrade apr-util to 1.5.2 in Apache 2.2.x. But I have not done much testing, because I only run Apache 2.4.x

Hello,

Apache 2.4.7 is schedule to be released within 72 hours.
This version of Apache now requires apr-util 1.5.0 or greater. (1.5.3 is the current version)

As such, I've added code to all CustomBuild scripts to change the Apache version down to 2.4.6 if apache 2.4 is set to be used, and 2.4.7+ is in the versions.txt, when old_apr_util=yes is set.
It will also give you a bolded messsage that it's doing it.

If you are using the option:

old_apr_util=yes

with apache 2.4, it's recommended you now change it to

old_apr_util=no

Note that the previous crypted password issue has already been resolved.
