 <H2><A NAME="core">Core Enhancements:</A></H2>

 <DL>
 <DT><STRONG>Unix Threading</STRONG>
 <DD>On Unix systems with POSIX threads support, Apache can now run in a
     hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode. This should improve
     scalability.

 <DT><STRONG>New Build System</STRONG>
 <DD>The build system has been rewritten from scratch to be based on
     autoconf and libtool. This makes Apache's configuration system more
     similar to that of other packages.

 <DT><STRONG>Multiprotocol Support</STRONG>
 <DD>Apache now has some of the infrastructure in place to support serving
     multiple protocols. mod_echo has been written as an example.

 <DT><STRONG>Better support for non-Unix platforms</STRONG>
 <DD>Apache 2.0 should be faster and more stable on non-Unix platforms such
     as BeOS, OS/2, and Windows. With the introduction of platform-specific
     multiprocessing modules (MPM) and the Apache Portable Runtime, these
     platforms can now avoid using POSIX-emulation functions that are
     sometimes buggy and always hurt performance.
 <DD>A list of the MPM's currently available is <a href="mpm.html">here</a>.
 <DT><STRONG>New API</STRONG>
 <DD>The API for modules has changed significantly for 2.0. Many of the
     module-ordering problems from 1.3 should be gone. 2.0 does much of
     this automatically, and module ordering is now done per-hook to
     allow more flexibility. Also, new calls have been added that should
     allow modules to do more without requiring patching of the core
     Apache server.
