Apache is the world's most popular HTTP server, being quite possibly the best around in terms of functionality, efficiency, security and speed.

Release Notes: New features include loadable MPMs, major improvements to OCSP support, mod_lua, dynamic reverse proxy configuration, improved authentication/authorization, FastCGI proxy, a new expression parser, and a small object caching API.


Release Notes: This major release features loadable MPMs, major improvements to OCSP support, mod_lua, dynamic reverse proxy configuration, improved authentication/authorization, a FastCGI proxy, a new expression parser, and a small object caching API.


Release Notes: This release was updated to reflect the OpenSSL project's release 0.9.8m of the openssl library, and addresses the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack. This release further addresses security issues within mod_proxy_ajp, mod_isapi, and mod_headers respectively.


Release Notes: This release is intended as the final release of version 1.3 of the Apache HTTP Server, which has reached end-of-life status. It fixes a security issue in mod_proxy in order to prevent chunk-size integer overflows on platforms where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long).


Release Notes: This version of Apache is principally an alpha release to test new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for the stable 2.2.x branch.

2.0 came out in March of 2001 (released at ApacheCon 2001) 2 is what you call a major release version, 2.2 was nearly a major release and had lots of fixes and new features. 2.4 is supposed to have quite a few new features. You just have to get used to open source projects, their version numbers don't grow as fast as proprietary (read: commercial) software.

Mod Rewrite Rules!
Apache is great. I don't think I could live without mod rewrite. I get so much use out of it and will never switch to IIS

mod_rewrite
@ manuel: yes, you can use it in windows. It works also in a package like xampp for example.
