  *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
     load a module which is built-in.  This is a common error when
     switching from a DSO build to a static build.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
     clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
     on some platforms.  This gets subversion building properly since
     it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
     and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
     that requirement.  [Sander Striker]

  *) Allow VPATH builds to succeed when configured from an empty
     directory.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Fix 'control reaches end of non-void function' warning in
     server/log.c.  [Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman@collab.net>]

  *) Perchild MPM is now correctly deemed as experimental and is now
     located in server/mpm/experimental.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garabge collecting an expired
     cache entry.  [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
     to begin logging errors immediately.  This provides Win32 users 
     an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
     allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.
     [William Rowe] 
     
  *) Fix subreqs with non-defined Content-Types being served improperly.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Merge in latest GNU config.guess and config.sub files.  PR 7818.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Move 100 - Continue support to the HTTP_IN filter so that filters
     are guaranteed to support 100 - Continue logic without any
     intervention.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add HTTP chunked input trailer support.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Rename and export get_mime_headers as ap_get_mime_headers.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Allow empty Host: header arguments.  PR 7441.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Properly substitute sbindir as httpd's location in apachectl.  PR 7840.

  *) Allow Win32 shebang scripts to follow the path (or omit the .exe
     suffix from the shebang command), and allow ScriptInterpreterSource
     Registry or RegistryStrict to override shebang lines, as 1.3 did.
     [William Rowe]

  *) worker MPM: Fix a situation where a child exited without releasing
     the accept mutex.  Depending on the OS and mutex mechanism this 
     could result in a hang.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Update the instructions for how to get started with mod_example.
     [Stas Bekman]
  
  *) Fix PidFile to default to rel_runtimedir instead of
     rel_logfiledir.  PR 7841.  [Andreas Hasenack <andreas@netbank.com.br>]

  *) Win32: Fix problem that caused rapid performance degradation
     when number of connecting clients exceeded ThreadsPerChild.
     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Fixed a segfault parsing large SSIs on non-mmap systems.
     [Brian Havard]

  *) Proxy was bombing out every second keepalive request, caused by a
     stray CRLF before the second response's status line. Proxy now
     tries to read one more line if it encounters a CRLF where it
     expected a status. PR 10010 [Graham Leggett]

  *) Deprecated the apr_lock.h API. Please see the following files
     for the improved thread and process locking and signaling: 
     apr_proc_mutex.h, apr_thread_mutex.h, apr_thread_rwlock.h,
     apr_thread_cond.h, and apr_global_mutex.h.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Change mod_status to use scoreboard accessor functions so it can
     be used in any MPM without having to be recompiled.
     [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]

  *) Fix parsing of some AP_DECLARE_DATA declarations so that the filter
     handle declarations are recognized.  This fixes problems loading 
     mod_autoindex on some platforms.  [Brian Havard]

  *) add optional fixup hook to proxy [Daniel Lopez <daniel@covalent.net>]

  *) Remind the admin about the User and Group directives when we are
     unable to set permissions on a semaphore.  PR 7812  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) fix possible compilation problem in ssl_engine_kernel.c. PR 7802
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) fix possible infinite loop in mod_ssl triggered by certain
     netscape clients [Doug MacEachern]

  *) fix ProxyPass when frontend is https and backend is http
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Add DASL support to mod_dav
     [Sung Kim <hunkim@cse.ucsc.edu>]

  *) mod_rewrite: updated to use the new APR global mutex type.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fixes for mod_include errors on boundary conditions in which
     "<!--#" occurs at the very end of a bucket
     [Paul Reder, Brian Pane]

  *) worker, prefork, perchild, beos MPMs: Add -DFOREGROUND switch to 
     cause the Apache parent process to run in the foreground (similar to
     -DNO_DETACH except that it doesn't switch session ids).  
     [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Added support for Posix semaphore mutex locking (AcceptMutex posixsem)
     for those platforms that support it. If using the default
     implementation, this is between pthread and sysvsem in priority.
     This implies it's the new default for Darwin. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) AIX: Fix the syntax for setting the LDR_CNTRL and AIXTHREAD_SCOPE
     environment variables in the envvars file.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) worker MPM: Don't create a listener thread until we have a worker
     thread.  Otherwise, in situations where we'll have to wait a while
     to take over scoreboard slots from a previous generation, we'll be
     accepting connections we can't process yet.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow worker MPM to build on systems without pthread_kill().
     [Pier Fumagalli, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Prevent ap_add_output_filters_by_type from being called in
     ap_set_content_type if the content-type hasn't changed.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Performance: implemented the bucket allocator made possible by the
     API change in 2.0.34.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Don't allow initialization to succeed if we can't get a socket
     corresponding to one of the Listen statements.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow all Perchild directives to accept either numerical UID/GID
     or logical user/group names.  [Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>]

  *) Make Perchild compile cleanly and serve pages again. [Ryan Bloom]

  *) implement ssl proxy to support ProxyPass / https:// and the
     SSLProxy* directives [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Update mod_cgid to not do single-byte socket reads for CGI headers
     [Brian Pane]

  *) Made AB's use of the Host: header rfc2616 compliant
     by Taisuke Yamada <tai@iij.ad.jp> [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

  *) The old, legacy (and unused) code in which the scoreboard was totally
     and completely contained in a file (SCOREBOARD_FILE) has been
     removed. This does not affect scoreboards which are *mapped* to
     files using named-shared-memory. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Change bucket brigades API to allow a "bucket allocator" to be
     passed in at certain points.  This allows us to implement freelists
     so that we can stop using malloc/free so frequently.
     [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]

  *) Add support for macro expansion within the variable names in
     <!--#echo--> and <!--#set--> directives [Brian Pane]

  *) Fix some mod_include segfaults [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane, Brad Nicholes]

  *) Update the "RedHat" Layout to match Red Hat Linux version 7. PR BZ-7422
     [Joe Orton] 

  *) add compat layer to support RSA SSLC 1.x and 2.x in mod_ssl
     [Jon Travis, John Barbee, William Rowe, Ryan Bloom, Doug MacEachern]

  *) Add a new parameter to the quick_handler hook to instruct
     quick handlers to optionally do a lookup rather than actually 
     serve content. This is the first of several changes required fix
     several problems with how quick handlers work with subrequests.

  *) worker MPM: Get MaxRequestsPerChild to work again.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) [APR-related] The ordering of the default accept mutex method has
     been changed to better match what's done in Apache 1.3. The ordering 
     is now (highest to lowest): pthread -> sysvsem -> fcntl -> flock.
