+Version 4.2.0
+=============
+
+Version 4.2.0 of mod_wsgi can be obtained from:
+
+  https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/archive/4.2.0.tar.gz
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+1. The makefiles for building mod_wsgi on Windows are currently broken and
+need updating. As most new changes relate to mod_wsgi daemon mode, which is
+not supported under Windows, you should keep using the last available
+binary for version 3.X on Windows instead.
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+1. Added ``apache.scoreboard()`` function which provides access to a
+dictionary of data derived from the Apache worker scoreboard. In effect this
+provides access to the same information that is used to create the Apache
+server status page.
+
+Note that if ``mod_status`` is not loaded into Apache, or the compile time
+configuration of Apache prohibits the scoreboard from being available, this
+function will return ``None``.
+
+Also be aware that only partial information about worker status, and no
+information about requests, will be returned if the ``ExtendedStatus``
+directive is not also set to ``On``.
+
+Although ``mod_status`` needs to be loaded, it is not necessary to enable
+any URL to expose the server status page.
+
+2. Added a platform plugin for New Relic which will report server status
+information up to New Relic if the ``--with-newrelic`` option is supplied
+when running mod_wsgi express.
+
+That same agent also enables the New Relic Python agent. If you only want
+one or the other, you can instead use the ``--with-newrelic-agent`` and
+``--with-newrelic-platform`` options.
