Great, thanks!

And on the other side of the tracks, if you need Nginx 1.28 with brotli compression, this guide is a good one:

I wonder what's going on at CWP. Previously they provided new Apache versions rather quickly. However, the currently included version is Apache/2.4.62 which they added on August 7, 2024. That's more than a year old! And the newest version they provide via "Apache rebuild" is even older: 2.4.57. Isn't that a big security risk?

Possibly a security weak spot, but consider that the CWP team leans into LTS branches of software, befitting an Enterprise Linux base (slow moving, break as little as possible). Manually following Starburst's guide (linked above) will get you 2.4.66 -- not difficult to do the update.
