  *) Restructured mod_auth_ldap to fit the new authentication model.
     The module is now called authnz_ldap and has been moved out of
     the modules/experimental area and into modules/aaa with the other
     auth modules.  Both the authn_ldap provider and the authz_ldap
     handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module.  The 
     authz_ldap handler introduces 3 new "requires" values for handling
     authorization.  These handlers are ldap-user, ldap-group and 
     ldap-dn. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fix some compiler warnings in proxy
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]

  *) mod_ssl: Add SSL_CLIENT_V_REMAIN variable, representing the
     number of days until the client cert expires.  [Joe Orton]

  *) Add test_config hook, run only if httpd is invoked using -t.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Improve error handling for corrupted pid files.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy.c and proxy_util.c: Enable compiling on 2.0-HEAD 
     (for backwards compatibility):
     Avoids mod_ssl.h (not included in 2.0-HEAD) and
     use apr_socket_create_ex for 0.9.x 
     [Mladen Turk]

  *) Added proxy_ajp.c module for proxy support to ajp:// backends.
     [Jean Frederic Clere]

  *) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
     as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there
     is a LNK2001 error when building proxy_http. [Mladen Turk]

  *) Remove LDAP toolkit specific code from util_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Remove deprecated/removed APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS().  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) perchild MPM: Fix thread safety problem in the use of longjmp().
     [Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO <nazonazo super.win.ne.jp>]

  *) Add load balancer support to the scoreboard in preparation for
     load balancing support in mod_proxy. [Mladen Turk]

  *) mod_nw_ssl: Added the directive NWSSLUpgradeable to mod_nw_ssl to 
     allow a non-secure connection to be upgraded to secure connections
     [Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) core: Add Options= syntax to AllowOverride to specify which options
     may be overridden in .htaccess files. PR 29310.
     [Tom Alsberg <alsbergt cs.huji.ac.il>, Paul Querna]

  *) ab: Handle long URLs with an error instead of an buffer overflow.
     PR 28204. [Erik Weide <erik.weidel mplus-technologies.de>, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded
     modules. '-t -D DUMP_MODULES' and '-M' will show all static 
     and shared modules as loaded from the configuration file.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
     that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403. 
     PR 10575.  [Paul Querna]

     to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
     testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
     ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
     Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
     [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_log_config: Fix a bug which prevented request completion time
     from being logged for I_INSIST_ON_EXTRA_CYCLES_FOR_CLF_COMPLIANCE
     processing.  PR 29696.  [Alois Treindl <alois astro.ch>]

  *) Add -l option to rotatelogs to let it use local time rather than
     UTC.  PR 24417.  [Ken Coar, Uli Zappe <uli ritual.org>]

  *) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
     Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
     ('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length 
     e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]

  *) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
     file name. PR 29003.  [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]

  *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
     OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
     than the client's.  PR 28665.
     [Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
  *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
     SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
     even when Accept-Encoding is not present.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
     them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3.  PR 28815
     [Ken Coar, Jeff Trawick]
  *) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
     bytes.  [André Malo]

  *) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
     assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
     the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
     ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
     and ap_process_resource_config.  [André Malo]
  *) Include directives no longer refuse to process symlinks on
     directories. Instead there's now a maximum nesting level
     of included directories (128 as distributed). This is configurable
     at compile time using the -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DIR_DEPTH switch.
     PR 28492.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow env clauses also for 'echo' and 'unset' actions.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_deflate: New option for DEFLATE output file (force-gzip),
     new output filter 'INFLATE' for uncompressing responses.
     [Nick Kew <Nick at WebThing dot com>, Ian Holsman]

  *) Added new module mod_version, which provides version dependent
     configuration containers.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_log_config now logs all Set-Cookie headers if the %{Set-Cookie}o
     format is used.  PR 27787.  [André Malo]

  *) Allow Digest providers to return AUTH_DENIED to propagate a 401
     status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) mod_cgid: Don't allow Scriptsock to be specified inside VirtualHost;
     Don't place script socket inside default server root instead of
     actual server root.  PR 27886.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
     "ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured.  PR 20183.
     [Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]

  *) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize 
     directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread 
     stack size for threads which handle client connections.  Required 
     for some third-party modules on platforms with small default 
     thread stack size.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync.  mod_auth_basic
     now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
     and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
     AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
     the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
     [Apache Software Foundation]

  *) Delete some make-generated files in the server directory during 
     "make clean" processing.  PR 26552.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
     accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
     as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
     rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
     mode. PR 25635.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
     the [handler=...] flag.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns
     true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow proxying and RewriteRules in directory context
     for subrequests.  PR 14648, 15114.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow setting of any valid HTTP response code.
