Changes with Apache 2.0.31-dev
  *) Added new functions ap_add_(input|output)_filter_handle to
     allow modules to bypass the usual filter name lookup when
     adding hard-coded filters to a request [Brian Pane]

  *) caching should now work on subrequests (still very experimental)

  *) The Win32 mpm_winnt now has a shared scoreboard.  [William Rowe]

  *) Change ap_get_brigade prototype to use apr_off_t instead of apr_off_t*.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Refactor ap_rgetline so that it does not use an internal brigade.
     Change ap_rgetline's prototype to return errors.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Remove mod_auth_db.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Do not install unnecessary pcre headers like config.h and internal.h.
     [Joe Orton <joe@manyfish.co.uk>]

  *) Change in quick_hanlder behavior for subrequests. it now passes DONE
     (as it does for a normal request). quick_handled sub-requests now work
     in mod-include [Ian Holsman]

  *) Change SUBREQ_CORE so that it is a 'HTTP_HEADER' filter instead of
     'CONTENT' one, as it needs to run AFTER all content headers

  *) Rename BeOS MPM directive RequestsPerThread to MaxRequestsPerThread.
     [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) Split out blocking from the mode in the input filters.

  *) Cause Win32 to capture all child-worker process errors in
     Apache to the main server error log, until the child can
     open its own error logs.  [William Rowe]

  *) HPUX 11.*: Do not kill the child process when accept() 
     returns ENOBUFS on HPUX 11.*. (ported from a 1.3 patch
     by [madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com])
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Fix a problem in the parsing of the <Proxy foo> directive.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) rewrite of mod_ssl input filter for better performance and less
     memory usage [Doug MacEachern]

  *) allow quick_handler to be run on subrequests. [Ian Holsman]
  *) mod_dav now asks its provider to place content directly into the
     filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider
     API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein]

  *) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure
     we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails.
     This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process
     the returned socket if it was non-NULL.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter
     to avoid segfaults.  [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what
     data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs.  MMN
     bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of
     the core_dir_config structure.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the
     wrong config to ap_get_remote_host().  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by
     using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of
     750.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when
     the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane]

  *) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core, 
     mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable
     modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former
     compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule
     directives.  [William Rowe]

  *) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by
     duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include
     directory, including in the build tree.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_ssl adjustments to help with using toolkits other than OpenSSL:
      Use SSL functions/macros instead of directly dereferencing SSL
      structures wherever possible.
      Add type-casts for the cases where functions return a generic pointer.
      Add $SSL/include to configure search path.
     [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]

  *) Moved several pointers out of the shared Scoreboard so it is
     more portable, and will present the vhost name across server
     generation restarts.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix SSLPassPhraseDialog exec: and SSLRandomSeed exec:

  *) Fix the main bug for FreeBSD and threaded MPM's. There are
     still issues (see STATUS) but at least the server will now
     run without crashing the machine.
     [David Reid, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix a typo in mod_deflate's m4 config section.
     [albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)]

  *) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections
     and handling CONNECT:
     (1) PR #9190  Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts.
     (2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by 
         the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was.  
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core
     modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously
     listed as config_log_module).  PR #9338
     [James Watson <ap2bug@sowega.org>]

  *) Fix LimitRequestBody directive by placing it in the HTTP
     filter.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix mod_proxy seg fault when the proxied server returns 
     an HTTP/0.9 response or a bogus status line.
     [Adam Sussman]

  *) Prevent mod_proxy from truncating one character off the
     end of the status line returned from the proxied server.
     [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]

  *) Eliminate loop in ap_proxy_string_read().

     [William Rowe]

  *) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman]

  *) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent
     returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases,
     when using Multiviews.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working
     together reliably [Greg Ames]

  *) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config
     phase.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause
     problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during
     child process exits.  [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert]

  *) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]

  *) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4
     vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of
     that address.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm
     used to find "<!--#" tokens in mod_include [Brian Pane]

  *) Miscellaneous small performance fixes: optimized away various
     string copy operations and removed large temp buffers from
     the stack [Brian Pane]

  *) Fixed startup segfault that occurred when a VirtualHost
     directive had a port but no address [Brian Pane]

  *) Allow htdbm to work with multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
  *) Win32: Made change to apr_sendfile() to return APR_ENOTIMPL
     if oslevel < WINNT.  This should fix several problems reported
     Against 2.0.28 on Windows 98 [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Win32: Fix bug that could cause CGI scripts with QUERY_STRINGS
     to fail. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Change core code to allow an MPM to set hard thread/server
     limits at startup.  prefork, worker, and perchild MPMs now have 
     directives to set these limits.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
     successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
     eliminates a number of spurious
     setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.
