## Changes in 2.X

The GoAhead web server was originally written by Michael O'Brien when he founded GoAhead Software. Since the acquisition of GoAhead by Oracle, Oracle asked Embedthis to support existing GoAhead customers and to offer commercial licenses for GoAhead. Embedthis has now significantly upgraded GoAhead with features and security fixes. GoAhead is now more popular than ever.
