*) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize
code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and
ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family.
[William Rowe]
*) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the
current SDK.) [William Rowe]
*) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed
config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett]
*) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version
of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be
relocated. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox]
*) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum
number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of
specifying the maximum number of child processes.
[Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to
be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz]

*) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds.
[Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
*) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers.
[Ian Holsman <ianh@cnet.com>]
*) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]

*) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings
to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time.
[Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
*) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may
improve cache-hit performance under some conditions.
[Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that
support it. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction
pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools
around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the
queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to
state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated
segments for. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
*) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body.
[Greg Stein]
*) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead
property management. [Greg Stein]
*) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and
roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable
ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe]
*) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm
to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an
internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus
string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes
now reuse previous section merges on a <Location > by <Location >
basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk.
[William Rowe]
*) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made
us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected
URI, instead of the originally requested URI.
[Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
*) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to
compute variables. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
*) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should
log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging
the file size. [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
*) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather
than per character. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
*) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to
run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in
robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe]
*) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set
(which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman <ianh@cnet.com>]
*) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other
part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only].
This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32
platform, which is the recommended configuration for native
Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for
cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj <tolj@wapme-systems.de>]
*) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters
must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.)
The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent
container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in <Directory /web/foo>
will override any SetInputFilter directive in <Directory /web>.)
This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter
directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases
where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the
global configuration if the multiple directives were nested.
[William Rowe]
*) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething
was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or
Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType,
but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given
for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html
without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to
use the default content type. [William Rowe]
*) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache
code. [Graham Leggett]
Changes with Apache 2.0.25
*) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so
that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document
root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection
into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using
mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified
user attributes in a page like so:
Hello <!--#echo var="AUTHENTICATE_CN"-->, how are you?
[Graham Leggett]
*) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create
transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection.
[Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview
of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does
not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without
an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with
an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation
won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is
requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the
.html extension is associated with ContentType text/html.
[William Rowe]
*) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...]
and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more
filters by mod_mime filename extension processing.
[William Rowe]
*) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for
keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a
macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it
by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated
the code to check the return code from the macro and
*) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match
up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum
amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no
longer reparse all <Location > blocks when the request uri
hadn't changed.) [William Rowe]
*) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the
ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special
walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example,
with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes
either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase
only runs against real <Directory > blocks.
[William Rowe]
*) Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow
an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed.
[Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
*) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass
the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE
shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the
Loading full blame...
