ApacheLounge is now running for a few days 2.3.15, it is the upcoming 2.4 and expected the latest beta, download at http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=4376 .
Using all the new authorization directives, so mod_access_compat is not active. Win32DisableAcceptEx is not more, using now the new AcceptFilter http none.
All looks fine till now, see/feel no difference over 2.2, only memory usage is quite better, ~70% less here sofar. Speed is on par with 2.2.
Hardly architectural changes that impact webmasters. Most new stuff is under the hood, mostly in the area of (code) optimization. For people with rather normal/simple configs, there is probably not much reason to upgrade for now. But if you have more complex setups, the changes may be very useful. On the other hand 2.4 has active development, so always consider to upgrade, it is advised.
Here some new, which dev's are mentioning to promote 2.4:
- per module / per directory loglevel
- some functions that were provided by third-party modules are now included (mod_ratelimit, mod_proxy_html, mod_remoteip)
- the new auth syntax allows to express complex authorization configurations without having to resort to hacks with mod_rewrite.
- the memory usage should be a bit lower (there are no numbers yet by ASF)
- the new expression parser allows to express complex conditions for RewriteCond, SetEnvIf(Expr), Request)Header, etc. This can greatly simplify the configuration in some cases.
- mod_ldap now allows searching in subgroups, has much better logging, better handling of timeouts to the ldap server, etc.
- mod_proxy_balancer has interesting new features (taking node gracefully offline, etc.)

Also nice is the <IF....> Syntax
What AFAIK didn't work in 2.2 was to have a different url in reverse proxy situation. At least it didn't work for me.
So in 2.2 it was
ProxyPass /app/ http://localhost/app/
ProxyPassReverse /app/ http://localhost/app/
with 2.4 for me it works to rewrite also calls from javascript.
in 2.4
ProxyPass /something/ http://localhost/app/
ProxyPassReverse /something/ http://localhost/app/ |
