2.2.15 dateert volgens mij van begin vorig jaar en is daarmee ruim een jaar oud. 2.2.17 is van oktober vorig jaar. Gezien de lijst met bugs die sindsdien gefixed is, lijkt de term verouderd mij toch wel op zijn plek?
Changes with Apache 2.2.17
*) prefork MPM: Run cleanups for final request when process exits gracefully
to work around a flaw in apr-util. PR 43857. [Tom Donovan]
*) mod_reqtimeout: Do not wrongly enforce timeouts for mod_proxy's backend
connections and other protocol handlers (like mod_ftp). Enforce the
timeout for AP_MODE_GETLINE. If there is a timeout, shorten the lingering
close time from 30 to 2 seconds. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) Proxy balancer: support setting error status according to HTTP response
code from a backend. PR 48939. [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: If AuthLDAPCharsetConfig is set, also convert the
password to UTF-8. PR 45318.
[Johannes Müller <joh_m gmx.de>, Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: check symlink ownership if both FollowSymlinks and
SymlinksIfOwnerMatch are set [Nick Kew]
*) core: fix origin checking in SymlinksIfOwnerMatch
PR 36783 [Robert L Mathews <rob-apache.org.bugs tigertech.net>]
*) mod_headers: Enable multi-match-and-replace edit option
PR 46594 [Nick Kew]
*) mod_log_config: Make ${cookie}C correctly match whole cookie names
instead of substrings. PR 28037. [Dan Franklin <dan dan-franklin.com>,
Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: Pass the output filter information
to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used
as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
PR 17629, 43939
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Jim Jagielski, Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem]
*) rotatelogs: Fix possible buffer overflow if admin configures a
mongo log file path. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_ssl: Do not do overlapping memcpy. PR 45444 [Joe Orton]
*) vhost: A purely-numeric Host: header should not be treated as a port.
PR 44979 [Nick Kew]
*) core: (re)-introduce -T commandline option to suppress documentroot
check at startup.
PR 41887 [Jan van den Berg <janvdberg gmail.com>]
Changes with Apache 2.2.16

mod_proxy_ajp, mod_proxy_http, mod_reqtimeout: Fix timeout detection
for platforms Windows, Netware and OS2. PR: 49417. [Rainer Jung]
*) core: Filter init functions are now run strictly once per request
before handler invocation. The init functions are no longer run
for connection filters. PR 49328. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_filter: enable it to act on non-200 responses.
PR 48377 [Nick Kew]
*) mod_ldap: LDAP caching was suppressed (and ldap-status handler returns

context. [Eric Covener]

across multiple vhosts. PR 39915. [Joe Orton]

*) apxs: Fix -A and -a options to ignore whitespace in httpd.conf
[Philip M. Gollucci]
*) mod_dir: add FallbackResource directive, to enable admin to specify
an action to happen when a URL maps to no file, without resorting
to ErrorDocument or mod_rewrite. PR 47184 [Nick Kew]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow to set environment variables without explicitly
giving a value. [Rainer Jung]
