  *) worker MPM: Fix a problem which could cause httpd processes to
     remain active after shutdown.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Error out on sections that are missing an argument instead of
     silently consuming the section. PR 25460.
     [Geoffrey Young, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Move out of experimental.

  *) Upgraded PCRE to version 5.0. [Brian Pane]

     share same ServerRoot but admin forgot to use ScriptSock.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_cgi: Ensure that all stderr is logged for a script which returns
     a Location header to generate a non-local redirect.  PR 20111.

Changes with Apache 2.1.1

  *) mod_proxy_http: Stream content better - always flush buffered data to
     the client before blocking waiting for new data.  PR 19954.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for command-line option "-t -DDUMP_CERTS" which
     will dump the filenames of all configured SSL certificates to stdout.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Remove a bunch of non-implemented garbage collection
     and cache size directives that are now available through htcacheclean.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add htcacheclean to support/ for assistance with mod_disk_cache.
     [Andreas Steinmetz]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-filter" that
     allows the module to authorize a user based on a complex LDAP
     search filter.  [Brad Nicholes]
  *) mod_usertrack: Run the fixups hook before other modules.
  *) Allow mod_authnz_ldap authorization functionality to be used 
     without requiring the user to also be authenticated through 
     mod_authnz_ldap. This allows other authentication modules to 
     take advantage of LDAP authorization only [PR 28253]
     [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) Log the client IP address when an error occurs disabling nagle on a
     connection, but log at a severity of debug since this error 
     generally means that the connection was dropped before data was
     sent.  Log the client IP address when reporting errors in the core
     output filter.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add ap_log_cerror() for logging messages associated with particular
     client connections.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Add a warning message if the request line read fails.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreHeaders directive.  PR 30399.
     [Rüiger Plü <r.pluem t-online.de>]

  *) mod_rewrite: Removed the MaxRedirects option in favor of the
     core LimitInternalRecursion directive.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_auth_ldap: Handle the inconsistent way in which the MS LDAP
     library handles special characters. PR 24437 [Jess Holle]

  *) Unix MPMs: Shut down the server more quickly when child processes are
     slow to exit.  [Joe Orton, Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_info: Added listing of the Request Hooks and added more build 
     information like 'httpd -V' contains. Changed output to XHTML. 
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_info: Rewrote config tree walk using a recursive function.
     Added ?config option. Added printout of config filename and line numbers.
     [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix type error that prevents proxy-sendchunks from working.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix data corruption by properly setting aside buckets.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_proxy: If a request has a blank body and has a 0 Content-Length
     headers, pass that to the proxy.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Recognize QSA flag in mod_rewrite again.
     [Jan Kratochvil <rcpt-dev.AT.httpd.apache.org jankratochvil.net>]

  *) Restructured mod_auth_ldap to fit the new authentication model.
     The module is now called authnz_ldap and has been moved out of
     the modules/experimental area and into modules/aaa with the other
     auth modules.  Both the authn_ldap provider and the authz_ldap
     handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module.  The 
     authz_ldap handler introduces 3 new "requires" values for handling
     authorization.  These handlers are ldap-user, ldap-group and 
     ldap-dn. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fix some compiler warnings in proxy
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]

  *) mod_ssl: Add SSL_CLIENT_V_REMAIN variable, representing the
     number of days until the client cert expires.  [Joe Orton]

  *) Add test_config hook, run only if httpd is invoked using -t.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Improve error handling for corrupted pid files.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy.c and proxy_util.c: Enable compiling on 2.0-HEAD 
     (for backwards compatibility):
     Avoids mod_ssl.h (not included in 2.0-HEAD) and
     use apr_socket_create_ex for 0.9.x 
     [Mladen Turk]

  *) Added proxy_ajp.c module for proxy support to ajp:// backends.
     [Jean Frederic Clere]

  *) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
     as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there
     is a LNK2001 error when building proxy_http. [Mladen Turk]

  *) Remove LDAP toolkit specific code from util_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Remove deprecated/removed APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS().  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) perchild MPM: Fix thread safety problem in the use of longjmp().
     [Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO <nazonazo super.win.ne.jp>]

  *) Add load balancer support to the scoreboard in preparation for
     load balancing support in mod_proxy. [Mladen Turk]

  *) mod_nw_ssl: Added the directive NWSSLUpgradeable to mod_nw_ssl to 
     allow a non-secure connection to be upgraded to secure connections
     [Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) core: Add Options= syntax to AllowOverride to specify which options
     may be overridden in .htaccess files. PR 29310.
     [Tom Alsberg <alsbergt cs.huji.ac.il>, Paul Querna]

  *) ab: Handle long URLs with an error instead of an buffer overflow.
     PR 28204. [Erik Weide <erik.weidel mplus-technologies.de>, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded
     modules. '-t -D DUMP_MODULES' and '-M' will show all static 
     and shared modules as loaded from the configuration file.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
     that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403. 
     PR 10575.  [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_headers: implement "Early" processing option in post_read_request
     to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
     testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
     ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
     Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
     [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
     Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
     ('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length 
     e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]

  *) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
     file name. PR 29003.  [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]

  *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
     OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
     than the client's.  PR 28665.
     [Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
  *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
     SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
     even when Accept-Encoding is not present.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
