in using an HTML form, storing the credentials within mod_session.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Add a function to the http filters that is able to parse an HTML
form request with the type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_crypto: Initialise SSL in the post config hook.
[Ruediger Pluem, Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_dbd: Add a session implementation capable of storing
session information in a SQL database via the dbd interface. Useful
for sites where session privacy is important. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_crypto: Add a session encoding implementation capable
of encrypting and decrypting sessions wherever they may be stored.
Introduces a level of privacy when sessions are stored on the
browser. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_cookie: Add a session implementation capable of storing
session information within cookies on the browser. Useful for high
volume sites where server bound sessions are too resource intensive.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session: Add a generic session interface to unify the different
attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.
[Graham Leggett]
*) core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests
with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to
original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests
with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or
providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.
Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration
which can accept additional mode and flag data. [Chris Darroch]
*) Introduced ap_expr API for expression evaluation.
This is adapted from mod_include, which is the first module
to use the new API.
[Nick Kew]
*) mod_authz_dbd: When redirecting after successful login/logout per
AuthzDBDRedirectQuery, do not report authorization failure, and use
first row returned by database query instead of last row.
[Chris Darroch]
*) mod_ldap: Correctly return all requested attribute values
when some attributes have a null value.

*) core: check symlink ownership if both FollowSymlinks and
SymlinksIfOwnerMatch are set [Nick Kew]
*) core: fix origin checking in SymlinksIfOwnerMatch

*) Activate mod_cache, mod_file_cache and mod_disk_cache as part of the
'most' set for '--enable-modules' and '--enable-shared-mods'. Include

mod_mem_cache in 'all' as well. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Also install mod_so.h, mod_rewrite.h and mod_cache.h; as these
contain public function declarations which are useful for
third party module authors. PR 42431 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
*) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: pass the output filter information
to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used
as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)
for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct
searches on LDAP servers (in particular MS Active Directory 2003+)
using referrals without the use of the global catalog.
PRs 26538, 40268, and 42557 [Paul J. Reder]
*) ApacheMonitor.exe: Introduce --kill argument for use by the
installer. This will permit the installation tool to remove
all running instances before attempting to remove the .exe.
[William Rowe]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for OCSP validation of client certificates.
PR 41123. [Marc Stern <marc.stern approach.be>, Joe Orton]
Paul Querna
committed
*) mod_serf: New module for Reverse Proxying. [Paul Querna]
*) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain
size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_authnz_ldap, mod_authn_dbd: Tidy up the code to expose authn
parameters to the environment. Improve portability to
EBCDIC machines by using apr_toupper(). [Martin Kraemer]
*) mod_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.

*) mod_ssl: Add support for caching SSL Sessions in memcached. [Paul Querna]

when invoked without variable name(s).

[David M. Lee <dmlee crossroads.com>]
*) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
[Chris Darroch]
*) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
[Chris Darroch]
*) 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 deprecated. Instead, the
AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
*) 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]
*) 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_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
*) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
[Jeff Trawick]
*) 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]

*) 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]

within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.

performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch]

loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
definitions relating to old life_status field.

'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias

support for these directives.
Ruediger Pluem

*) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'

logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]

*) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
*) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
