+Version 4.7.0
+=============
+
+Version 4.7.0 of mod_wsgi can be obtained from:
+
+  https://codeload.github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/tar.gz/4.7.0
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+* Now releasing parallel ``mod_wsgi-standalone`` package to PyPi. This is
+  the same as the ``mod_wsgi`` package, except that by installing the
+  ``mod_wsgi-standalone`` package, it will automatically trigger the
+  ``mod_wsgi-httpd`` package to install the Apache HTTPD server as part
+  of your Python installation. When you run ``mod_wsgi-express`` it will
+  use that Apache HTTPD server installation.
+
+  The ``mod_wsgi-standalone`` package is required where you need to install
+  ``mod_wsgi-express`` using its own Apache HTTPD installation due to no
+  system Apache HTTPD server package being available, and the installation
+  needs to be done using a ``requirements.txt`` file for ``pip`` or other
+  package install manager. Using ``mod_wsgi-standalone`` will ensure
+  that the ``mod_wsgi-httpd`` package is installed first before attempting
+  to build and install mod_wsgi. This guarantee is not provided by ``pip``
+  if you list ``mod_wsgi-httpd`` and ``mod_wsgi`` packages as two entries.
+
+  The version numbering of the ``mod_wsgi-standalone`` package will follow
+  the ``mod_wsgi`` versioning.
