*) mod_http2: elimination of fixed master connection buffer for TLS
connections. New scratch bucket handling optimized for TLS write sizes.
File bucket data read directly into scratch buffers, avoiding one
copy. Non-TLS connections continue to pass buckets unchanged to the core
filters to allow sendfile() usage. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: h2_request.c is no longer shared between these
modules. This simplifies building on platforms such as Windows, as module
reference used in logging is now clear. [Stefan Eissing]
*) Scoreboard: Fix a regression in 2.4.20 that causes wrong request data
to be displayed on the status page. PR 59333. [Yann Ylavic, William Rowe]
*) mod_http2: fixed a bug that caused mod_proxy_http2 to be called for window
updates on requests it had already reported done. Added synchronization
on early connection/stream close that lets ongoing requests safely drain
their input filters.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: scoreboard updates that summarize the h2 session (and replace
the last request information) will only happen when the session is idle or
in shutdown/done phase. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new "bucket beam" technology to transport buckets across
threads without buffer copy. Delaying response start until flush or
enough body data has been accumulated. Overall significantly smaller
memory footprint. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: New CGIVar directive can configure REQUEST_URI to represent the
current URI being processed instead of always the original request.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) scoreboard/status: Restore behavior of showing workers' previous Client,
VHost and Request values when idle, like in 2.4.18 and earlier.

faults when files change on the fly.

%k gives increasing numbers per master http2 connection.
New documented variables in env, usable in custom log formats: H2_PUSH,
H2_PUSHED, H2_PUSHED_ON, H2_STREAM_ID and H2_STREAM_TAG.

*) mod_http2: fixed possible read after free when streams were cancelled early
by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed possible deadlock during connection shutdown. Thanks to
@FrankStolle for reporting and getting the necessary data.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed apr_uint64_t formatting in a log statement to user proper
APR def, thanks to @Sp1l.
*) mod_http2: number of worker threads allowed to a connection is adjusting
dynamically. Starting with 4, the number is doubled when streams can be
served without block on http/2 connection flow. The number is halfed, when
the server has to wait on client flow control grants.
This can happen with a maximum frequency of 5 times per second.
When a connection occupies too many workers, repeatable requests
(GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) are cancelled and placed back in the queue. Should that
not suffice and a stream is busy longer than the server timeout, the
connection will be aborted with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM.
This does *not* limit the number of streams a client may open, rather the
number of server threads a connection might use.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: allowing link header to specify multiple "rel" values,
space-separated inside a quoted string. Prohibiting push when Link
parameter "nopush" is present.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: reworked connection state handling. Idle connections accept a
GOAWAY from the client without further reply. Otherwise the
module makes a best effort to send one last GOAWAY to the client.
*) mod_http2: the values from standard directives Timeout and KeepAliveTimeout
properly are applied to http/2 connections.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: idle connections are returned to async mpms. new hook
"pre_close_connection" used to send GOAWAY frame when not already done.
Setting event mpm server config "by hand" for the main connection to
the correct negotiated server.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: keep-alive blocking reads are done with 1 second timeouts to
check for MPM stopping. Will announce early GOAWAY and finish processing
open streams, then close.
[Stefan Eissing]

[Edward Lu]
*) mod_http2: connections how keep a "push diary" where hashes of already
pushed resources are kept. See directive H2PushDiarySize for managing this.
Push diaries can be initialized by clients via the "Cache-Digest" request
header. This carries a base64url encoded. compressed Golomb set as described
in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kazuho-h2-cache-digest/
Introduced a status handler for HTTP/2 connections, giving various counters

Configured as

did not always reach the client, causing some to fail the next request.

[Stefan Eissing]

[Stefan Eissing]

fixes crash on a request that did not produce any response.
[Stefan Eissing]

trailers_out before the end-of-request bucket is sent through the
output filters. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: incoming trailers (headers after request body) are properly
forwarded to the processing engine. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2Push' to en-/disable HTTP/2 server
pushes a server/virtual host. Pushes are initiated by the presence
of 'Link:' headers with relation 'preload' on a response. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: write performance of http2 improved for larger resources,
especially static files. [Stefan Eissing]

abort. Separate parent pool for all workers. worker threads are joined
on planned worker shutdown. [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: when receiving requests for other virtual hosts than the handshake
server, the SSL parameters are checked for equality. With equal
configuration, requests are passed for processing. Any change will trigger
the old behaviour of "421 Misdirected Request".
SSL now remembers the cipher suite that was used for the last handshake.
This is compared against for any vhost/directory cipher specification.

match.
Renegotiation is 403ed when a master connection is present. Exact reason
is given additionally in a request note. [Stefan Eissing]

*) mod_dav: Avoid a potential integer underflow in the lock timeout value sent

core: HTTP trailers could be used to replace HTTP headers
late during request processing, potentially undoing or
otherwise confusing modules that examined or modified
request headers earlier. Adds "MergeTrailers" directive to restore

*) mod_ssl: New directive SSLSessionTickets (On|Off).
The directive controls the use of TLS session tickets (RFC 5077),

Session ticket creation uses a random key created during web
server startup and recreated during restarts. No other key
recreation mechanism is available currently. Therefore using session
tickets without restarting the web server with an appropriate frequency
(e.g. daily) compromises perfect forward secrecy. [Rainer Jung]
