Recent releases
- 15 Mar 2010 14:25
Changes: This release was updated to reflect the OpenSSL project's release 0.9.8m of the openssl library, and addresses the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack. This release further addresses security issues within mod_proxy_ajp, mod_isapi, and mod_headers respectively.
- 05 Feb 2010 16:04
Changes: This release is intended as the final release of version 1.3 of the Apache HTTP Server, which has reached end-of-life status. It fixes a security issue in mod_proxy in order to prevent chunk-size integer overflows on platforms where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long).
- 05 Feb 2010 16:04
Changes: This version of Apache is principally an alpha release to test new technology and features that are incompatible or too large for the stable 2.2.x branch.
- 25 Aug 2009 08:05
Changes: This version of Apache is principally a security and bugfix release. Notably, it bundles the APR Library version 1.3.8 and APR Utility Library version 1.3.9, which address a security concern that may be triggered by some third party modules.
- 15 Dec 2008 18:08
Changes: When the ap_http_header_filter processes an error bucket, The passed brigade is cleaned up before returning AP_FILTER_ERROR down the filter chain. Error responses set by filters were being coerced into 500 errors, sometimes appended to the original error response. A configuration option to insert strings in HTML HEAD has beena dded. A new LogFormat parameter, %k, logs the number of keepalive requests on this connection for this request.

2.0 came out in March of 2001 (released at ApacheCon 2001) 2 is what you call a major release version, 2.2 was nearly a major release and had lots of fixes and new features. 2.4 is supposed to have quite a few new features. You just have to get used to open source projects, their version numbers don't grow as fast as proprietary (read: commercial) software.
Is version 2 the latest?
Can anyone tell me if they stopped developing apache? Seems version 2 is around for a couple of years already.
Mod Rewrite Rules!
Apache is great. I don't think I could live without mod rewrite. I get so much use out of it and will never switch to IIS

You should check out www.wampserver.com/en/, their install comes with mod-rewrite!
mod_rewrite
@ manuel: yes, you can use it in windows. It works also in a package like xampp for example.
