  *) Major improvements in concurrent processing for AB by enabling
     non-blocking connect()s and preventing APR from doing blocking
     read()s. Also implement fatal error checking for apr_recv().

  *) Fix Win32 NTFS Junctions (symlinks).  PR 8014  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix Win32 'short name' aliases in httpd.conf directives.
     PR 8009  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix generation of default httpd.conf when the layout paths are
     disjoint.  PR 7979, 8227.  [Justin Erenkrantz]
  *) Swap downgrade-1.0 and force-response-1.0 conditional checks so
     that downgraded responses can have force-response.  PR 8357.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix perchild MPM so that it can be configured with the move to the
     experimental directory.  [Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>]

  *) Fix perchild MPM so that it uses ap_gname2id for groups instead of
     ap_uname2id. [Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>]

  *) Fix AcceptPathInfo. PR 8234  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) [Security] Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
     explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent 
     to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log. 
     Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning 
     messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
     the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
     the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
     minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
  *) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would
     omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list
     would appear to the right of the column headings instead of
     underneath them. PR 8016  [David Shane Holden <dpejesh@yahoo.com>]

  *) Moved the call to apr_mmap_dup outside the error branch so
     that it would actually get called. This fixes a core dump
     at init everytime you use the MMapFile directive. PR 8314

  *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
     load a module which is built-in.  This is a common error when
     switching from a DSO build to a static build.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
     clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
     on some platforms.  This gets subversion building properly since
     it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
     and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
     that requirement.  [Sander Striker]

  *) Allow VPATH builds to succeed when configured from an empty
     directory.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Fix 'control reaches end of non-void function' warning in
     server/log.c.  [Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman@collab.net>]

  *) Perchild MPM is now correctly deemed as experimental and is now
     located in server/mpm/experimental.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garabge collecting an expired
     cache entry.  [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
     to begin logging errors immediately.  This provides Win32 users 
     an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
     allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.
     [William Rowe] 
     
  *) Fix subreqs with non-defined Content-Types being served improperly.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Merge in latest GNU config.guess and config.sub files.  PR 7818.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Move 100 - Continue support to the HTTP_IN filter so that filters
     are guaranteed to support 100 - Continue logic without any
     intervention.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add HTTP chunked input trailer support.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Rename and export get_mime_headers as ap_get_mime_headers.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Allow empty Host: header arguments.  PR 7441.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Properly substitute sbindir as httpd's location in apachectl.  PR 7840.

  *) Allow Win32 shebang scripts to follow the path (or omit the .exe
     suffix from the shebang command), and allow ScriptInterpreterSource
     Registry or RegistryStrict to override shebang lines, as 1.3 did.
     [William Rowe]

  *) worker MPM: Fix a situation where a child exited without releasing
     the accept mutex.  Depending on the OS and mutex mechanism this 
     could result in a hang.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Update the instructions for how to get started with mod_example.
     [Stas Bekman]
  
  *) Fix PidFile to default to rel_runtimedir instead of
     rel_logfiledir.  PR 7841.  [Andreas Hasenack <andreas@netbank.com.br>]

  *) Win32: Fix problem that caused rapid performance degradation
     when number of connecting clients exceeded ThreadsPerChild.
     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Fixed a segfault parsing large SSIs on non-mmap systems.
     [Brian Havard]

  *) Proxy was bombing out every second keepalive request, caused by a
     stray CRLF before the second response's status line. Proxy now
     tries to read one more line if it encounters a CRLF where it
     expected a status. PR 10010 [Graham Leggett]

  *) Deprecated the apr_lock.h API. Please see the following files
     for the improved thread and process locking and signaling: 
     apr_proc_mutex.h, apr_thread_mutex.h, apr_thread_rwlock.h,
     apr_thread_cond.h, and apr_global_mutex.h.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Change mod_status to use scoreboard accessor functions so it can
     be used in any MPM without having to be recompiled.
     [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]

  *) Fix parsing of some AP_DECLARE_DATA declarations so that the filter
     handle declarations are recognized.  This fixes problems loading 
     mod_autoindex on some platforms.  [Brian Havard]

  *) add optional fixup hook to proxy [Daniel Lopez <daniel@covalent.net>]

  *) Remind the admin about the User and Group directives when we are
     unable to set permissions on a semaphore.  PR 7812  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) fix possible compilation problem in ssl_engine_kernel.c. PR 7802
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) fix possible infinite loop in mod_ssl triggered by certain
     netscape clients [Doug MacEachern]

  *) fix ProxyPass when frontend is https and backend is http
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Add DASL support to mod_dav
     [Sung Kim <hunkim@cse.ucsc.edu>]

  *) mod_rewrite: updated to use the new APR global mutex type.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fixes for mod_include errors on boundary conditions in which
     "<!--#" occurs at the very end of a bucket
     [Paul Reder, Brian Pane]

  *) worker, prefork, perchild, beos MPMs: Add -DFOREGROUND switch to 
     cause the Apache parent process to run in the foreground (similar to
     -DNO_DETACH except that it doesn't switch session ids).  
     [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Added support for Posix semaphore mutex locking (AcceptMutex posixsem)
     for those platforms that support it. If using the default
     implementation, this is between pthread and sysvsem in priority.
     This implies it's the new default for Darwin. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) AIX: Fix the syntax for setting the LDR_CNTRL and AIXTHREAD_SCOPE
     environment variables in the envvars file.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) worker MPM: Don't create a listener thread until we have a worker
     thread.  Otherwise, in situations where we'll have to wait a while
     to take over scoreboard slots from a previous generation, we'll be
     accepting connections we can't process yet.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow worker MPM to build on systems without pthread_kill().
     [Pier Fumagalli, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Prevent ap_add_output_filters_by_type from being called in
     ap_set_content_type if the content-type hasn't changed.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Performance: implemented the bucket allocator made possible by the
     API change in 2.0.34.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Don't allow initialization to succeed if we can't get a socket
     corresponding to one of the Listen statements.  [Jeff Trawick]
