      <dt>General-purpose expression parser</dt>
      <dd>A new expression parser allows to specify
          <a href="expr.html">complex conditions</a> using a common syntax

          directive allows more fine grained control which directives are
          allowed in <code>.htaccess</code> files. </dd>

      <dt>Config file variables</dt>
      <dd>It is now possible to <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#define">Define</a></code>
          variables in the configuration, allowing a clearer representation
          if the same value is used at many places in the configuration.
      </dd>

      <dt>Reduced memory usage</dt>
      <dd>Despite many new features, 2.4.x tends to use less memory than
      2.2.x.</dd>

      <dd>A new hook, <code>check_config</code>, has been added which runs
          between the <code>pre_config</code> and <code>open_logs</code>
          hooks.  It also runs before the <code>test_config</code> hook
          when the <code>-t</code> option is passed to
          <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>.  The <code>check_config</code> hook
          allows modules to review interdependent configuration directive
          values and adjust them while messages can still be logged to the
          console.  The user can thus be alerted to misconfiguration problems
          before the core <code>open_logs</code> hook function redirects
          console output to the error log.</dd>

      <dt>Expression Parser Added</dt>

      <dd>We now have a general-purpose expression parser, whose API is
          exposed in <var>ap_expr.h</var>.  This is adapted from the
          expression parser previously implemented in
          <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>.</dd>

      <dt>Authorization Logic Containers</dt>

      <dd>Authorization modules now register as a provider, via
      ap_register_auth_provider(), to support advanced authorization logic,
      such as <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_authz_core.html#requireall">&lt;RequireAll&gt;</a></code>.</dd>

      <dt>Small-Object Caching Interface</dt>

      <dd>The <var>ap_socache.h</var> header exposes a provider-based
      interface for caching small data objects, based on the previous
      implementation of the <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code> session cache.
      Providers using a shared-memory cyclic buffer, disk-based dbm
      files, and a memcache distributed cache are currently
      supported.</dd>

      <dt>Cache Status Hook Added</dt>

      <dd>The <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> module now includes a new
      <code>cache_status</code> hook, which is called when the caching
      decision becomes known. A default implementation is provided
      which adds an optional <code>X-Cache</code> and
      <code>X-Cache-Detail</code> header to the response.</dd>
