Changes with Apache 2.1.0-dev

  [Remove entries to the current 2.0 section below, when backported]
  *) Overhaul handling of LDAP error conditions, so that the util_ldap_*
     functions leave the connections in a sane state after errors have
     occurred. PR 27748, 17274, 17599, 18661, 21787, 24595, 24683, 27134,
     27271 [Graham Leggett]

  *) RPM spec file changes: changed default dependancy to link to db4
     instead of db3. Fixed complaints about unpackaged files.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Fix handling of IPv6 numeric strings in mod_proxy.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
     bytes.  [André Malo]

  *) Fix a potential SEGV in the 'shmcb' session cache when session data
     size is greater than the size of the cache. PR 27751
     [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]

  *) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
     assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Prevent Win32 pool corruption at startup [Allan Edwards]

  *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
     the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
     ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
     and ap_process_resource_config.  [André Malo]
  *) htpasswd no longer refuses to process files that contain empty
     lines.  [André Malo]

  *) Restore the ability to disable the use of AcceptEx on Win9x systems
     automatically. PR 28529.  [André Malo]

  *) ap_set_sub_req_protocol and ap_finalize_sub_req_protocol are now
     exported on Win32 as well.  PR 28523.
     [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]

  *) Include directives no longer refuse to process symlinks on
     directories. Instead there's now a maximum nesting level
     of included directories (128 as distributed). This is configurable
     at compile time using the -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DIR_DEPTH switch.
     PR 28492.  [André Malo]

  *) Recursive Include directives no longer crash. The server stops
     including configuration files after a certain nesting level (128
     as distributed). This is configurable at compile time using the
     -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DEPTH switch. PR 28370.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow env clauses also for 'echo' and 'unset' actions.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow 'echo' also for ErrorHeaders.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_cgi: Handle output on stderr during script execution on Unix
     platforms; preventing deadlock when stderr output fills pipe buffer.
     PR 22030.  [Joe Orton, Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_deflate: New option for DEFLATE output file (force-gzip),
     new output filter 'INFLATE' for uncompressing responses.
     [Nick Kew <Nick at WebThing dot com>, Ian Holsman]

  *) Added new module mod_version, which provides version dependent
     configuration containers.  [André Malo]

  *) Accept URLs for the ServerAdmin directive. If the supplied
     argument is not recognized as an URL, assume it's a mail address.
     PR 28174.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite no longer confuses the RewriteMap caches if
     different maps defined in different virtual hosts use the
     same map name. PR 26462.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_log_config now logs all Set-Cookie headers if the %{Set-Cookie}o
     format is used.  PR 27787.  [André Malo]

  *) Fix a bunch of cases where the return code of the regex compiler
     was not checked properly. This affects: mod_setenvif, mod_usertrack,
     mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ftp and core. PR 28218.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_usertrack: Escape the cookie name before pasting into the
     regexp.  [André Malo]

  *) Enable special ErrorDocument value 'default' which restores the
     canned server response for the scope of the directive.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) Allow Digest providers to return AUTH_DENIED to propagate a 401
     status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) Allow RequestHeader directives to be conditional. PR 27951.
     [Vincent Deffontaines <vincent gryzor.com>, André Malo]

  *) mod_logio no longer removes the EOS bucket. PR 27928.
     [Bojan Smojver <bojan rexursive.com>]

  *) mod_rewrite no longer turns forward proxy requests into reverse proxy
     requests. PR 28125  [ast domdv.de, André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite now officially supports RewriteRules in <Proxy> sections.
     PR 27985.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_cgid: Don't allow Scriptsock to be specified inside VirtualHost;
     Don't place script socket inside default server root instead of
     actual server root.  PR 27886.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) work around MSIE Digest auth bug - if AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack
     is set in r->subprocess_env allow mismatched query strings to pass.
     PR 27758.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>, Geoffrey Young]

  *) Satisfy directives now can be influenced by a surrounding <Limit>
     container.  PR 14726.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
     "ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured.  PR 20183.
     [Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]

  *) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize 
     directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread 
     stack size for threads which handle client connections.  Required 
     for some third-party modules on platforms with small default 
     thread stack size.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) mod_rewrite: Support for recognizing SSL variables in RewriteCond
     using the new "SSL:" format.  [Joe Orton, Madhusudan Mathihalli]

  *) mod_setenvif: Remove "support" for Remote_User variable which
     never worked at all. PR 25725.  [André Malo]

  *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync.  mod_auth_basic
     now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
     and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
     AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) mod_isapi: send_response_header() failed to copy status string's 
     last character.  PR 20619.  [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

  *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
     the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
     [Apache Software Foundation]

  *) FreeBSD: Use the httpready accept filter instead of dataready on
     newer levels of the OS.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

  *) Delete some make-generated files in the server directory during 
     "make clean" processing.  PR 26552.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Unix MPMs: Stop dropping connections when the file descriptor
     is at least FD_SETSIZE.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
     accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
     as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
     rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
     mode. PR 25635.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
     the [handler=...] flag.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns
     true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.
     [André Malo]

  *) Allow proxying of resources that are invoked via DirectoryIndex.
     PR 14648.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow proxying and RewriteRules in directory context
     for subrequests.  PR 14648, 15114.  [André Malo]

     PR 25917.  [André Malo]

     [André Malo]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for distributed session cache using 'distcache'.
     [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]

  *) mod_dav: Disallow requests with an unescaped hash character in

     the Request-URI.  PR 21779.  [Amit Athavale <amit_athavale lycos.com>]
  *) mod_proxy with ProxyErrorOverride On in a reverse-proxy configuration attaches
     a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header. 
     PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]

  *) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
     header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
