eliminate the need for explicitly coding MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer

*) This fixes a problem where the underlying cache code
indicated that there was one more element on the cache
than there actually was. This happened since element 0

*) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install
from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist
to work on systems with perl 5.6. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
Tru64 (and probably some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]

*) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length. This also fixes a
hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Added log rotation based on file size to the RotateLog support
utility. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Fix some casting in mod_rewrite which broke random maps.
PR 9770 [Allan Edwards, Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
*) allow POST method over SSL when per-directory client cert
authentication is used with 'SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate' enabled
and a client cert was found in the ssl session cache.
*) 'SSLOptions +OptRengotiate' will use client cert in from the ssl
session cache when there is no cert chain in the cache. prior to
the fix this situation would result in a FORBIDDEN response and
error message "Cannot find peer certificate chain"

*) ap_finalize_sub_req_protocol() shouldn't send an EOS bucket if
one was already sent. PR 9644 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix the display of the default name for the mime types config
*) Fix the working directory *for WinNT/2K/XP services only* to
change to the Apache directory (one level above the location
of Apache.exe, in the case that Apache.exe resides in bin/.)
Solves the case of ServerRoot /foo paths where /foo was not
on the same drive as /winnt/system32. [William Rowe]
*) Make 2.0's "AcceptMutex" startup message now "completely"
match how 1.3 does it. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Implement a fixed size memory cache using a priority queue
[Ian Holsman]
*) Fix apxs to allow "apxs -q installbuilddir" and to allow
querying certain other variables from config_vars.mk. PR 9316
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Added the "detached" attribute to the cgi_exec_info_t internals
so that Win32 and Netware won't create a new window or console
for each CGI invoked. PR 8387
[Brad Nicholes, William Rowe]
*) Consolidated the command line parameters and attributes that are
manipulated by the optional function ap_cgi_build_command() in
mod_cgi into a single structure.
[Brad Nicholes]
*) Get rid of uninitialized value errors with "apxs -q" on certain
*) Fix apxs to allow it to work when the build directory is somewhere
besides server-root/build. PR 8453
[Jeff Trawick and a host of others]
*) Allow ap_discard_request_body to be called multiple times in the
same request. Essentially, ap_http_filter keeps track of whether
it has sent an EOS bucket up the stack, if so, it will only ever
send an EOS bucket for this request.
[Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Greg Stein]
*) Remove all special mod_ssl URIs. This also fixes the bug where
redirecting (.*) will allow an SSL protected page to be viewed
without SSL. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Fix the binary build install script so that the build logic
created by "apxs -g" will work when the user has a binary
build. [Jeff Trawick]

*) Allow instdso.sh to work with full paths to the shared module.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) NetWare: Enabled CGI functionality and added mod_cgi as a built
in module for NetWare [Brad Nicholes]
*) Changed cgi and piped log behavior to accept 65536 characters
on Win32 (matching Linux) before deadlocking between outputing
client stdin, slurping the output from stdout and then the stderr
stream. PR 8179 [William Rowe]
*) Fixed Win32 wintty.exe support to assure the window title is valid.
Elimiates possible gpfault or garbage title without the -t option.

*) Rewrite mod_cgi, mod_cgid, and mod_proxy input handling to use
brigades and input filters. [Justin Erenkrantz]

body. [Justin Erenkrantz]

*) Allow RewriteMap prg:'s to take command-line arguments. PR 8464.
*) Correctly return 413 when an invalid chunk size is given on
input. Also modify ap_discard_request_body to not do anything
on sub-requests or when the connection will be dropped.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix the TIME_* SSL var lookups to be threadsafe. PR 9469.
[Cliff Woolley]
*) Ensure that apr_brigade_write() flushes in all of the cases that
it should to avoid conditions in some modules that could cause
large amounts of data to be buffered. [Cliff Woolley]
*) Fix problem where mod_cache/mod_disk_cache was incorrectly
stripping the content_type from cached responses.
[Bill Stoddard]
*) apachectl passes through any httpd options. Note: apachectl
should be used in preference to httpd since it ensures that any
appropriate environment variables have been set up.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix the combination of mod_cgid, mod_setuexec, and mod_userdir.
*) Fix suexec execution of CGI scripts from mod_include.
*) Fix segfaults at startup on some platforms when mod_auth_digest,
mod_suexec, or mod_ssl were used as DSO's due to the way they
were tracking the current init phase since DSO's get completely
unloaded and reloaded between phases. PR 9413.
*) Fix mod_include's handling of regular expressions in
*) Fix the worker MPM deadlock problem [Brian Pane]
*) Modify the module documentation to allow for translations.
[Yoshiki Hayashi, Joshua Slive]
*) Fix a file permissions problem which prevented mod_disk_cache
from working on Unix. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add "-k start|restart|graceful|stop" support to httpd for the Unix
MPMs. These have semantics very similar to the old apachectl
commands of the same name. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
*) Make sure that the runtime dir is created by make install.
PR 9233. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix an unusual set of ./configure arguments that could cause
mod_http to be built as a DSO, which it currently doesn't
support. PR 9244.
*) Win32: Fix bug in apr_sendfile() that caused incorrect operation
of the %X, %b and %B logformat options. PR 8253, 8996.

*) If content-encoding is already present, do not run deflate (PR 9222)
*) The APLOG_NOERRNO flag to ap_log_[r]error() is now deprecated.
It is currently ignored and it will be removed in a future release
of Apache. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Removed documentation references to the no-longer-supported
"make certificate" feature of mod_ssl for Apache 1.3.x. Test
certificates, if truly desired, can be generated using openssl
commands. PR 8724. [Cliff Woolley]

*) Remove SSLLog and SSLLogLevel directives in favor of having
mod_ssl use the standard ErrorLog directives. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) OS/390: LIBPATH no longer has to be manually uncommented in
envvars to get apachectl to set up httpd properly. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_isapi: All mod_isapi directives, excluding ISAPICacheFile,
may now be specified to the <File/Directory > container, rather
than by vhost. [William Rowe]
*) mod_isapi: Experimental support for faux async support for ISAPI
modules. [William Rowe]
*) mod_isapi: Major refactoring of the code to rely on apr internals
rather than MS APIs (using our own mod_isapi.h headers for ISAPI
symbol definitions.) [William Rowe]
*) mod_isapi: Fixed the return string length from GetServerVariable
