Apache httpd 2.4.26 released

Which includes super fun stuff like if you're proxying to a back end by name it only resolves the IP on either start-up or first connection (not sure which), unless you specifically add a static DNS resolver IP address and do some variable stuff. When your upstream DNS resolver stuff could change, that tends to mean you need to install DNSMasq and similar locally and point your nginx to it.

Fixed in Plus, not in the open source product.

So nobody's fixed this in a fork?

Supporting a fork, or even a patch set, is a lot of work. Especially if you know full well that it's never going to be accepted upstream.

And unless you support it solidly and long-term, nobody would really use it: paid support from Ngnix is much less risk.
