  *) Fix Win32 cgi 500 errors when QUERY_ARGS or other strings include
     extended characters (non US-ASCII) in non-utf8 format.  This brings
     Win32 back into CGI/1.1 compliance, and leaves charset decoding up
     to the cgi application itself.  [William Rowe]

  *) Major overhaul of mod_dav, mod_dav_fs and the experimental/cache
     modules to bring them up to the current apr/apr-util APIs.
     [William Rowe]

  *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache most frequently observed when
     serving the same file to multiple clients on an MP machine.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) mod_rewrite can now set cookies  (RewriteRule (.*) - [CO=name:$1:.domain])
     [Brian Degenhardt <bmd@mp3.com>, Ian Holsman]

  *) Fix perchild to work with apachectl by adding -k support to perchild.
     PR 10074  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a silly htpasswd.c logic error that incorrectly reported that
     both -c and -n had been used.  PR 9989  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fixed a mod_include error case in which no HTTP response was sent
     to the client if an shtml document contained an unterminated SSI
     directive [Brian Pane]

  *) Improve ap_get_client_block implementation by using APR-util brigade
     helper functions and relying on current filter assumptions.

Changes with Apache 2.0.38

  *) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR.  The removes the annoying warning about
     tmpnam being unsafe.   [Ryan Bloom]

  *) We must set the MIME-type for .shtml files to text/html if we want them
     to be parsed for SSI tags.  Add the config for that to the default 
     config file so that it is easier to enable .shtml parsing.
     [Dave Dyer <ddyer@real-me.net>]

  *) Fixed a problem with 'make install' on ReliantUnix.
     [Jean-frederic Clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]

  *) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by
     another handler.  This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory
     is requested, there is no DirectoryIndex, and mod_autoindex isn't
     loaded.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files.
     PR 9866  [Brian Pane]

  *) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'.  This allows packagers to install
     into a directory different from the one that was configured.  This 
     also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3.  We cannot use prefix=,
     because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at 
     configuration time.  This means that there is no variable prefix 
     to replace.  [Andreas Hasenack <andreas@netbank.com.br>]

  *) AIX 4.3.2 and above: Define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
     These levels of AIX don't have a thundering herd problem with
     accept().  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart.  For
     certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we
     should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the
     mutex during restart processing.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
     early perl 5.x versions.  This is consistent with a build/install
     from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist 
     to work on systems with perl 5.6.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
     Tru64 (and probably some other platforms).  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length.  This also fixes a
     hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Added log rotation based on file size to the RotateLog support
     utility. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fix some casting in mod_rewrite which broke random maps.

  *) allow POST method over SSL when per-directory client cert
     authentication is used with 'SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate' enabled
     and a client cert was found in the ssl session cache.

Doug MacEachern committed
  *) 'SSLOptions +OptRengotiate' will use client cert in from the ssl
     session cache when there is no cert chain in the cache.  prior to
     the fix this situation would result in a FORBIDDEN response and
     error message "Cannot find peer certificate chain"
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) ap_finalize_sub_req_protocol() shouldn't send an EOS bucket if
     one was already sent.  PR 9644  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix the display of the default name for the mime types config
     file.  PR 9729  [Matthew Brecknell <mbrecknell@orchestream.com>]

  *) Fix the working directory *for WinNT/2K/XP services only* to
     change to the Apache directory (one level above the location 
     of Apache.exe, in the case that Apache.exe resides in bin/.)
     Solves the case of ServerRoot /foo paths where /foo was not
     on the same drive as /winnt/system32.  [William Rowe]

  *) Make 2.0's "AcceptMutex" startup message now "completely"
     match how 1.3 does it. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Implement a fixed size memory cache using a priority queue
     [Ian Holsman]

  *) Fix apxs to allow "apxs -q installbuilddir" and to allow
     querying certain other variables from config_vars.mk.  PR 9316  
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Added the "detached" attribute to the cgi_exec_info_t internals
     so that Win32 and Netware won't create a new window or console
     for each CGI invoked.  PR 8387
     [Brad Nicholes, William Rowe]

  *) Consolidated the command line parameters and attributes that are

     manipulated by the optional function ap_cgi_build_command() in
     mod_cgi into a single structure.
  *) Get rid of uninitialized value errors with "apxs -q" on certain
     variables.  [Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org>]

  *) Fix apxs to allow it to work when the build directory is somewhere
     besides server-root/build.  PR 8453  
     [Jeff Trawick and a host of others]

  *) Allow ap_discard_request_body to be called multiple times in the
     same request.  Essentially, ap_http_filter keeps track of whether
     it has sent an EOS bucket up the stack, if so, it will only ever
     send an EOS bucket for this request.  
     [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Greg Stein]

  *) Remove all special mod_ssl URIs.  This also fixes the bug where
     redirecting (.*) will allow an SSL protected page to be viewed
     without SSL.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix the binary build install script so that the build logic
     created by "apxs -g" will work when the user has a binary
     build.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow instdso.sh to work with full paths to the shared module.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) NetWare: Enabled CGI functionality and added mod_cgi as a built
     in module for NetWare  [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Changed cgi and piped log behavior to accept 65536 characters
     on Win32 (matching Linux) before deadlocking between outputing
     client stdin, slurping the output from stdout and then the stderr
     stream.  PR 8179  [William Rowe]

  *) Fixed Win32 wintty.exe support to assure the window title is valid.
     Elimiates possible gpfault or garbage title without the -t option.
     [William Rowe]

  *) Rewrite mod_cgi, mod_cgid, and mod_proxy input handling to use
     brigades and input filters.  [Justin Erenkrantz]
  *) Allow ap_http_filter (HTTP_IN) to return EOS when there is no request
     body.  [Justin Erenkrantz]
    
  *) NetWare: Piping log entries through RotateLogs using the 
     CustomLogs directive is finally supported now that we have

     the pipes and spawning functionality working.
  *) Detect overflow when reading the hex bytes forming a chunk line.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Allow RewriteMap prg:'s to take command-line arguments.  PR 8464.
     [James Tait <JTait@wyrddreams.demon.co.uk>]

  *) Correctly return 413 when an invalid chunk size is given on
     input.  Also modify ap_discard_request_body to not do anything
     on sub-requests or when the connection will be dropped.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix the TIME_* SSL var lookups to be threadsafe.  PR 9469.
     [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Ensure that apr_brigade_write() flushes in all of the cases that
     it should to avoid conditions in some modules that could cause
     large amounts of data to be buffered.  [Cliff Woolley]
