  *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT.
     This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway
     CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard]
 
  *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly

  *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to 
     always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the 
     OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx 
     always fails. 

     The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to 
     handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for 
     Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then 
     we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c.

  *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support 
     Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and 
     2.7.7.  It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it.

  *) Move Windows DSO code into APR.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause).
     Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw
     at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because
     of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next.
     [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard]

  *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines.

  *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the 
     corresponding APR error codes.  On Unix and Win32, return the 
     proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]

Changes with Apache 2.0a2

  *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other 
     than Win32
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
     small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
     users and groups. [David Reid]

  *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks

  *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
     is called on BeOS. [David Reid]

  *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
     When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
     no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.

  *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
     if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants.  They now use fcntl
     locks.  This allows the server to start and serve pages.

     interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
     up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
     in 2.0.
     [Tony Finch]

  *) BeOS MPM updated.  CGI bug on BeOS fixed.  IP addresses
     now logged correctly on BeOS.
     [David Reid]

  *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
     Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old 
     Makefile.nt

     flag was passed to CreateFile.  ap_puts() added an unnecessary
     '\n'.

  *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
     which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
     confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
     rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
     explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common 
     ones to the example config [dirkx]

  *) Extend external module capability.  To use this, you call
     configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
     including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
     config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
     it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
     expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
     by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
     to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
     can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
     usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
     hampers fancier hacks.
     [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

  *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
     supports the asymetric

                ErrorDocument 301 "Some message

     Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
     has either the following syntaxes

                ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
                ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
                ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"

     The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
     is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
     or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
     is assumed to be a message.

     This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
     of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
     [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

  *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
     syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
     only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
     absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
     breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

  *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process.  This is
     done with --with-module=/path/to/module.  Modules can only be added
     as static modules at this point.
     [Ryan Bloom]

Changes with Apache 2.0a1

  *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
     Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before 
     create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
     to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until 
     ap_initialize() calls setup_lock().  Here is a slight
     rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...

  *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
     [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]

  *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
     APIs.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
     Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
     Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
     passed in and number of bytes written.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file() 
     with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that 
     the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
     [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]

  *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
     bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1).  Plus
     some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
     errno => ap_status_t changes a while back.  Plus a fix to
     chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
     [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]

  *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
  *) SECURITY: More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security 
     problems with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite
     or mod_vhost_alias).
     [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
  
  *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
     [Manoj Kasichainula]

  *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type.  This allows us to write an error
     message without any of the date and time information.  As a part
     of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
     and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
     writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct 
     stderr to the error log on all platforms.
     [Ryan Bloom] 
 
  *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
     This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's 
     don't set errno.  This change allows us to still output a valid
     message on all of our platforms.

     automatically for developers from src/Configure.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
     to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Change all pools to APR contexts.  This is the first step to
     incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]

     allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
     ``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis.  [Roy Fielding]

Changes with Apache MPM

  *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
     dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000. 
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
     [Bill Stoddard]  

  *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility 
     (per default used the config.option file).

  *) MPM BEOS port.  [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]

  *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
     Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
     implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
     be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
     calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
     subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
     of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
     mpm_mpmt_pthread.  [Manoj Kasichainula]

  *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
     amongst the unix MPMs.

  *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
     signal handling for the new world order.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
     of alloc.c for now.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Handle partial large writes correctly.  [Ben Laurie]

  *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
     based on IP/port.  [Ben Laurie]

  *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.

     ["Michael H. Voase" <mvoase midcoast.com.au>]

  *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp.  See docs/buff.txt.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
     changes to the module API... better described by
     docs/initial_blurb.txt.  [Dean Gaudet]

Changes with Apache pthreads

  *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
     buff operations (generally over a network).
     [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]

  *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
     init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(), 
     stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.

     [James Morris <jmorris intercode.com.au>]

  *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to 
     request_rec. [Ryan Bloom] 

  *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls.  These aren't
     needed in a threaded server.

  *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
     [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]


Changes with Apache 1.3.9

  *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
     Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
     was supposed to include a location.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
     explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
     than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
     [Brian Havard]

  *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
     Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
     Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
     and tweak to make Amaya happier.  [Ronald Tschalär]

  *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
     just like the other header files.  [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
     in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
     correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
     an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
     is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures.  [Randy Terbush]

  *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED.  This may solve the
     problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
     output sent to the console.  [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
     routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no 
     pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
     like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
     The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
     now but deprecated.  [dirkx]

  *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
     represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
     files.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
     checking.  Allow compiling on VS 6.0.  [Randy Terbush]

  *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh.  [Tony Finch]

  *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
     assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
     exit - yet).  [Martin Kraemer]

  *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
     src/support/httpd.exp.  [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]

  *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
     searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
     some symbols from libos.  [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
     module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
     usual conventions for the installation procedure).
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
     for other platforms as well.  [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
     types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
     by 'buffer'.  [Martin Kraemer]

Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]

  *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
     response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
     long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.

  *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
     a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
     NULL terminated.  Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]

Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]

  *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
     the header is sent back to the client.  Multiple "Vary" fields
     are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
     "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
     single instances.  This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
     one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
     at all).  PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]

  *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at 
     least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.  
     [Rasmus Lerdorf]

  *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
     immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
     This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
     call.  The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
     the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets 
     are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue 
     is preserved.

  *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
     'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]

  *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
     built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
     install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
     editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
     create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
     used to re- enable/disable a module.  [Wilfredo Sanchez]

  *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
     ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib.  This gives us access to

  *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
     first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
     see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
     message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
     does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
     the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
     the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
     line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
     DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.

     Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's

     All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in 
     the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by 
     MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
