NCSA httpd 1.0a3 has been released and can be found on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
under /Web/ncsa_httpd/httpd-1.0a3.

IF YOU ARE USING NCSA httpd 1.0a2 OR EARLIER, OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS,
PLEASE UPGRADE OR FORWARD THEM THIS NOTE!

Versions of httpd 1.0 previous to a3 had a serious bug in init_mime which
would cause them to incorrectly type certain files.

All documentation is online, and can be found at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/

<A HREF="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/">That's here.</A>

New in version 1.0a3:

o .htaccess files now affect subdirectories
o Added option FollowSymLinks for security
o Fixed MAJOR bug in init_mime function
o Enhanced Makefile and httpd.h for people compiling httpd themselves
