  [Remove entries to the current 2.0 and 2.2 section below, when backported]
  *) mod_proxy: Add a missing assignment in an error checking code path.
     PR 40865. [Andrew Rucker Jones <arjones simultan.dyndns.org>]

  *) mod_mem_cache: Increase the minimum and default value for
     MCacheMinObjectSize from 0 to 1, as a MCacheMinObjectSize of 0 does not
     make sense and leads to a division by zero.  PR 40576.
     [Xuekun Hu <xuekun.hu gmail.com>]

  *) mod_cache: Pass the output filter stack through the store_body()
     hook, giving each cache backend the ability to make a better
     decision as to how it will allocate the tasks of writing to the
     cache and writing to the network. Previously the write to the
     cache task needed to be complete before the same brigade was
     written to the network, and this caused timing and memory issues
     on large cached files. This fix replaces the previous fix for this
     PR below. PR39380 [Graham Leggett]

  *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
     on Win32.  PR 40476.  [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]

  *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
     the accept() mutex lockfile, is depreciated. Instead, the
     AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
     location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Fix address-in-use startup failure caused by corruption of the list of 
     listen sockets in some configurations with multiple generic Listen 
     directives.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
     into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
     mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
     value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
     may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
     weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Add an AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute directive. If
     set, REMOTE_USER will be set to this attribute, rather than the
     username supplied by the user. Useful for example when you want users
     to log in using an email address, but need to supply a userid instead
     to the backend. [Graham Leggett]

  *) Allow mod_dumpio to log at other than DEBUG levels via
     the new DumpIOLogLevel directive. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Implement read-while-caching.
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_disk_cache: NULL fd pointers when closing them, fix missing
     close/flush, remove some unneccessary code duplication instead
     of calling the right helper in replace_brigade_with_cache().
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets 
     the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
     bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Do away with the write-to-file-then-move-in-place
     mentality. [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]

  *) Fix issue which could cause piped loggers to be orphaned and never
     terminate after a graceful restart.  PR 40651.  [Joe Orton, 
     Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_headers: support regexp-based editing of HTTP headers [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_cache: Eliminate a bogus error in the log when a filter returns
     AP_FILTER_ERROR. [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Make caching of large files possible on 32bit machines
     by determining whether the cached file should be copied on disk rather
     than loaded into RAM. PR39380 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_mem_cache: Convert mod_mem_cache to use APR memory pool functions
     by creating a root pool for object persistence across requests. This
     also eliminates the need for custom serialization code.
     [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]

  *) mod_mem_cache: Memory leak fix: Unconditionally free the buffer.
     [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]

  *) mod_proxy: Print the correct error message for erroneous configured
     ProxyPass directives. PR 40439. [serai lans-tv.com]

  *) Allow htcacheclean, httxt2dbm, and fcgistarter to link apr/apr-util
     statically like the older support programs.
     [Eric Covener <covener gmail.com>]

  *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed.  Third-party modules must 
     now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
     [Jeff Trawick]
  *) mod_deflate: Rework inflate output and deflate output filter to fix several
     issues: Incorrect handling of flush buckets, potential memory leaks,
     excessive memory usage in inflate output filter for large compressed
     content. PR 39854. [Ruediger Pluem, Nick Kew, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
     open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
     directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
     to the console.  Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
     and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
     appropriate.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) mod_proxy: don't URLencode tilde in path component
     [Stijn Hoop <stijn sandcat.nl>]

  *) mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects.
     The return value is index to the signaled thread in the
     creted_threads array. We can not use WAIT_TIMEOUT because
     his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads
     to that value. [Mladen Turk]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-3747 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_rewrite: Fix an off-by-one security problem in the ldap scheme
     handling.  For some RewriteRules this could lead to a pointer being
     written out of bounds.  Reported by Mark Dowd of McAfee.
     [Mark Cox]

  *) mod_cache: While serving a cached entity ensure that filters that have
     been applied to this cached entity before saving it to the cache are not
     applied again. PR 40090. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Added cping/cpong support for the AJP protocol.
     A new worker directive ping=timeout will cause CPING packet
     to be send expecting CPONG packet within defined timeout.
     In case the backend is too busy this will fail instead
     sending the full header.  [Mladen Turk]

  *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
     to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
     SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]

  *) mod_proxy: Support environment variable interpolation in reverse
     proxying directives. [Nick Kew]
  *) core: Add the filename of the configuration file to the warning message
     about the useless use of AllowOverride. PR 39992.
     [Darryl Miles <darryl darrylmiles.org>]

  *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
     configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
     The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than 
     the typical administrator is prepared to untangle.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
     within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_cache: Convert all values to seconds before comparing them when
     checking whether to send a Warning header for a stale response.
     PR 39713. [Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat.com>]
  *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their
     final name. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]

  *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
     performed in the event of a fork() failure.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
     [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]

  *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
     loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
     definitions relating to old life_status field.
     [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]

  *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
     in ap_init_scoreboard().  [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
  *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
     [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
  *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
     [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]

  *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can 
     invalidate it.  Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix spurious hostname mismatch warning for valid
     wildcard certificates.  PR 37911.  [Nick Burch <nick torchbox.com>]

  *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
     authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'.  Move the directives
     'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias 
     into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
  *) Authz: Mark the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy' as
