strings to insert a literal, single '%'.
[André Malo <nd@perlig.de>]
*) mod_autoindex: AddDescription directives for directories
now work as in Apache 1.3, where no trailing '/' is
specified on the directory name. Previously, the trailing
'/' *had* to be specified, which was incompatible with
Apache 1.3. PR 7990 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix for PR 14556. The expiry calculations in mod_cache were
trying to perform "now + ((date - lastmod) * factor)" where
date == lastmod resulting in "now + 0". The code now follows
the else path (using the default expiration) if date is
equal to lastmod. [rx@armstrike.com (Sergey), Paul J. Reder]
*) Use AP_DECLARE in the debug versions of ap_strXXX in case the
default calling convention is not the same as the one used by
AP_DECLARE. [Juan Rivera <Juan.Rivera@citrix.com>]

PR 14321 [Ken Franken <kfranken@decisionmark.com>]
*) Add --[enable|disable]-v4-mapped configure option to control
whether or not Apache expects to handle IPv4 connections
on IPv6 listening sockets. Either setting will work on
systems with the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option. --enable-v4-mapped
must be used on systems that always allow IPv4 connections on
IPv6 listening sockets. PR 14037 (Bugzilla), PR 7492 (Gnats)
[Jeff Trawick]
*) This fixes a problem where the underlying cache code
indicated that there was one more element on the cache
than there actually was. This happened since element 0
exists but is not used. This code allocates the correct
number of useable elements and reports the number of
actually used elements. The previous code only allowed
MCacheMaxObjectCount-1 objects to be stored in the
cache. [Paul J. Reder]

*) mod_isapi: Fix an issue where the HSE_REQ_DONE_WITH_SESSION

HSE_STATUS_PENDING. This only affected isapi .dll's configured
with the ISAPIFakeAsync on directive. PR 11918
[John DeSetto <jdesetto@radiantsystems.com>, William Rowe]
*) mod_isapi: Fix the issue where all results from mod_isapi would
run through the core die handler resulting in invalid responses
or access log entries. PR 10216 [William Rowe]
*) Improves the user friendliness of the CacheRoot processing
over my last pass. This version avoids the pool allocations
but doesn't avoid all of the runtime checks. It no longer
terminates during post-config processing. An error is logged
once per worker, indicating that the CacheRoot needs to be set.
[Paul J. Reder]
*) Fix a bug where we keep files open until the end of a
keepalive connection, which can result in:
(24)Too many open files: file permissions deny server access
especially on threaded servers. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a bug in which mod_proxy sent an invalid Content-Length
when a proxied URL was invoked as a server-side include within
a page generated in response to a form POST. [Brian Pane]
*) Added code to process min and max file size directives and to

*) Change the CacheRoot processing to check for a required
value at config time. This saves a lot of wasted processing
if the mod_disk_cache module is loaded but no CacheRoot
was provided. This fix also adds code to log an error
and avoid useless pallocs and procesing when the computed
cache file name cannot be opened. This also updates the
docs accordingly. [Paul J. Reder]

that is not a socket. : winnt_accept: AcceptEx failed.

anti-virus software on Windows. PR 8325 [William Rowe]
*) Add the ProxyBadHeader directive, which gives the admin some
control on how mod_proxy should handle bogus HTTP headers from
proxied servers. This allows 2.0 to "emulate" 1.3's behavior if
desired. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Change the LDAP modules to export their symbols correctly
