Mod_layout is a tool that streamlines Apache module, providing a directive for the footer and header sections to include the output from other URIs.
That being said, it's important to note that mod_layout does require Apache 2, so make sure your environment is compatible before you try to install it.
As for the latest release, there are a few updates you should know about. First, mod_layout now supports Apache 2.2, which is great news if you're running a more recent version of the web server. Additionally, the release includes a number of bug fixes and code cleanups that should help make mod_layout easier to use overall. For example, some issues related to duplicating pages have been resolved, while "dead code" that was no longer in use has been eliminated from the module's codebase. Finally, the README has been updated with a clearer example for version 5.1, which should help users get up and running with mod_layout more quickly.
