Changes with Apache 2.4.26
  *) Evaluate nested If/ElseIf/Else configuration blocks.
     [Luca Toscano, Jacob Champion]

  *) mod_substitute: Fix spurious AH01328 (Line too long) errors on EBCDIC
     systems.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_http2: fail requests without ERROR log in case we need to read interim
     responses and see only garbage. This can happen if proxied servers send
     data where none should be, e.g. a body for a HEAD request. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for Reverse Proxy Request headers.

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: fixed possible deadlock that could occur when connections were 
     terminated early with ongoing streams. Fixed possible hanger with timeout
     on race when connection considers itself idle. [Stefan Eissing]

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: MaxKeepAliveRequests now limits the number of times a 
     slave connection gets reused. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_brotli: Add a new module for dynamic Brotli (RFC 7932) compression.
     [Evgeny Kotkov]

  *) mod_proxy_http2: Fixed bug in re-attempting proxy requests after 
     connection error. Reliability of reconnect handling improved. 
     [Stefan Eissing]

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: better performance, eliminated need for nested locks and
     thread privates. Moving request setups from the main connection to the
     worker threads. Increase number of spare connections kept.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: input buffering and dynamic flow windows for increased 
     throughput. Requires nghttp2 >= v1.5.0 features. Announced at startup
     in mod_http2 INFO log as feature 'DWINS'. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: h2 workers with improved scalability for better scheduling
     performance. There are H2MaxWorkers threads created at start and the
     number is kept constant for now. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: obsoleted option H2SessionExtraFiles, will be ignored and
     just log a warning. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_autoindex: Add IndexOptions UseOldDateFormat to allow the date
     format from 2.2 in the Last Modified column. PR60846.
     [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]

  *) core: Add %{REMOTE_PORT} to the expression parser. PR59938
     [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]

  *) mod_cache: Fix a regression in 2.4.25 for the forward proxy case by
     computing and using the same entity key according to when the cache
     checks, loads and saves the request.
     PR 60577.  [Yann Ylavic]
  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Don't validate timed out responses.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Ensure thread-safety when concurrent healthchecks are
     in use (ProxyHCTPsize > 0).  PR 60071.  [Yann Ylavic, Jim Jagielski]

  *) core: %{DOCUMENT_URI} used in nested SSI expressions should point to the
     URI originally requsted by the user, not the nested documents URI. This
     restores the behavior of this variable to match the "legacy" SSI parser.
     PR60624. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Add ProxyFCGISetEnvIf to fixup CGI environment
     variables just before invoking the FastCGI. [Eric Covener,
     Jacob Champion]

  *) mod_proxy: Allow the per-request environment variable "no-proxy" to
     be used as an alternative to ProxyPass /path !. This is primarily
     to set exceptions for ProxyPass specified in <Location> context.
    Use SetEnvIf, not SetEnv. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Return to 2.4.20-and-earlier behavior of leaving
     a "proxy:fcgi://" prefix in the SCRIPT_FILENAME environment variable by
     default.  Add ProxyFCGIBackendType to allow the type of backend to be
     specified so these kinds of fixups can be restored without impacting
     FPM. PR60576 [Eric Covener, Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_ssl: work around leaks on (graceful) restart. [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0. [Rainer Jung]

  *) Don't set SO_REUSEPORT unless ListenCoresBucketsRatio is greater
     than zero.  [Eric Covener]

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: moving session cleanup to pre_close hook to avoid races with
     modules already shut down and slave connections still operating.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_lua: Support for Lua 5.3

Stefan Eissing's avatar

  *) mod_proxy_http2: support for ProxyPreserverHost directive. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Return HTTP 504 rather than 503 in case of proxy timeout.
     [Luca Toscano]

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: not counting file buckets again stream max buffer limits. 
     Effectively transfering static files in one step from slave to master 
     connection. [Stefan Eissing]
    
  *) mod_http2: comforting ap_check_pipeline() on slave connections
     to facilitate reuse (see https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/128).
     [Stefan Eissing, reported by Armin Abfalterer]
     
  *) mod_http2: http/2 streams now with state handling/transitions as defined
     in RFC7540. Stream cleanup/connection shutdown reworked to become easier
     to understand/maintain/debug. Added many asserts on state and cleanup 
     transitions. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_auth_digest: Use an anonymous shared memory segment by default,
     preventing startup failure after unclean shutdown.  PR 54622.
     [Jan Kaluza]

  *) mod_filter: Fix AddOutputFilterByType with non-content-level filters.
     PR 58856. [Micha Lenk <micha lenk.info>]
 
  *) mod_watchdog: Fix semaphore leak over restarts.  [Jim Jagielski]

Stefan Eissing's avatar
Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: regression fix on PR 59348, on graceful restart, ongoing 
     streams are finished normally before the final GOAWAY is sent. 
     [Stefan Eissing, <slavko gmail.com>]

  *) mod_proxy: Allow the per-request environment variable "no-proxy" to
     be used as an alternative to ProxyPass /path !. This is primarily
     to set exceptions for ProxyPass specified in <Location> context.

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: fixes PR60599, sending proper response for conditional requests
     answered by mod_cache. [Jeff Wheelhouse, Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: rework of stream resource cleanup to avoid a crash in a close
     of a lingering connection. Prohibit special file bucket beaming for
     shared buckets. Files sent in stream output now use the stream pool
     as read buffer, reducing memory footprint of connections.
     [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_fcgi, mod_fcgid: Fix crashes in ap_fcgi_encoded_env_len() when

     modules add empty environment variables to the request. PR 60275.
     [<alex2grad AT gmail.com>]
  *) mod_http2: fix for possible page fault when stream is resumed during 
     session shutdown. [sidney-j-r-m (github)]
     
  *) mod_http2: fix for h2 session ignoring new responses while already
     open streams continue to have data available. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: adding support for MergeTrailers directive. [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: limiting DATA frame sizes by TLS record sizes in use on the 
     connection. Flushing outgoing frames earlier. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: cleanup beamer registry on server reload.  PR 60510.
     [Pavel Mateja <pavel verotel.cz>, Stefan Eissing]
  *) mod_proxy_{ajp,fcgi}: Fix a possible crash when reusing an established
     backend connection, happening with LogLevel trace2 or higher configured,
     or at any log level with compilers not detected as C99 compliant (e.g.
     MSVC on Windows).  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ext_filter: Don't interfere with "error buckets" issued by other

     modules. PR 60375.  [Eric Covener, Lubos Uhliarik]

Stefan Eissing committed
  *) mod_http2: fixes https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/126 e.g. beam
     bucket lifetime handling when data is sent over temporary pools.
