  *) Allow unescaped error logs via compile time switch
     "-DAP_ERROR_LOG_UNESCAPED".
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff modperlcookbook.org>, André Malo]

  *) proxy_http fix: mod_proxy hangs when both KeepAlive and 
     ProxyErrorOverride are enabled, and a non-200 response without a 
     body is generated by the backend server. (e.g.: a client makes a 
     request containing the "If-Modified-Since" and "If-None-Match" 
     headers, to which the backend server respond with status 304.)
     [Graham Wiseman <gwiseman fscinternet.com>, Richard Reiner]
  *) mod_ssl: Add support for distributed session cache using 'distcache'.
     [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]

  *) mod_dav: Disallow requests with an unescaped hash character in

  *) Add forensic logging module (mod_log_forensic).
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache cache_insert() due to cache size
     becoming negative.  PR: 21285, 21287
     [Bill Stoddard, Massimo Torquati, Jean-Jacques Clar]
  *) mod_proxy with ProxyErrorOverride On in a reverse-proxy configuration attaches
     a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header. 
     PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]

  *) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
     header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
     redirects.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix some piped log problems: bogus "piped log program '(null)'
     failed" messages during restart and problem with the logger
     respawning again after Apache is stopped.  PR 21648, PR 24805.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>' 
     in the initial container.  PR 25414. 
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) Clean up httpd -V output: Instead of displaying the MPM source
     directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) Fixed cache-removal order in mod_mem_cache.
     [Jean-Jacques Clar, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Add fatal exception hook for use by debug modules.  The hook is only
     available if the --enable-exception-hook configure parm is used.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ssl/mod_status: Re-enable support for output of SSL session
     cache information in server-status page.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Remove the shmht session cache, shmcb should be used
     instead.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_logio: Account for some bytes handed to the network layer prior to
     dropped connections.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_autoindex: new directive IndexStyleSheet 
    [Tyler Riddle <triddle_1999 yahoo.com>, Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

  *) mod_setenvif: Fix the regex optimizer, which under circumstances
     treated the supplied regex as literal string. PR 24219.
     [André Malo]

  *) Log an error when requests for URIs which fail to map to a valid 
     filesystem name are rejected with 403.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Switch to APR 1.0 API.

  *) Fix mod_include's expression parser to recognize strings correctly
     even if they start with an escaped token.  [André Malo]

  *) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
     is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases

     that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
     incompatible change of mod_include's external API.  [André Malo]
  *) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
     PR 14223.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Catch an edge case, where strange subsequent RewriteRules
     could lead to a 400 (Bad Request) response.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
     the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
     strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493.  [André Malo]

  *) Change Listen directive to bind to all addresses when a hostname is
     not specified.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.

     the ENGINE functions but the engine header files are missing.

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
     [André Malo]

     hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
     the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,
     which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_speling: Recognize AcceptPathInfo setting for the particular
     location. Default is to reject path information. PR 21059.

  *) Fix a compile failure with recent OpenSSL and picky compilers
     (e.g., OpenSSL 0.9.7a and xlc_r on AIX).  [Jeff Trawick]

     the INCLUDE path to be defined properly.

  *) change directive name from 'compressionlevel' to 'deflatecompressionlevel'

  *) Extend mod_negotiation to evaluate the environment variables
     no-gzip and gzip-only-text/html the same way as mod_deflate does.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix some problems reporting errors with mapping
     programs (RewriteMap prg:/something).  [Jeff Trawick]

     the truncated line.  PR 15857.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

     file.  PR 16813.  [Justin Erenkrantz]
