Changes with Apache 2.0.48

  *) mod_rewrite: Perform child initialization on the rewrite log lock.
     This fixes a log corruption issue when flock-based serialization
     is used (e.g., FreeBSD).  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Don't respect the Server header field as set by modules and CGIs.
     As with 1.3, for proxy requests any such field is from the origin
     server; otherwise it will have our server info as controlled by
     the ServerTokens directive.  [Jeff Trawick]

Changes with Apache 2.0.47

  *) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0192]: Fixed a bug whereby certain sequences
     of per-directory renegotiations and the SSLCipherSuite directive
     being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one
     could result in the weak ciphersuite being used in place of the
     strong one.  [Ben Laurie]

  *) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0253]: Fixed a bug in prefork MPM causing
     temporary denial of service when accept() on a rarely accessed port
     returns certain errors.  Reported by Saheed Akhtar 
     <S.Akhtar@talis.com>.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0254]: Fixed a bug in ftp proxy causing denial
     of service when target host is IPv6 but proxy server can't create
     IPv6 socket.  Fixed by the reporter.  [Yoshioka Tsuneo
     <tsuneo.yoshioka@f-secure.com>]

  *) SECURITY [VU#379828] Prevent the server from crashing when entering
     infinite loops. The new LimitInternalRecursion directive configures
     limits of subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests, after
     which the request will be aborted.  PR 19753 (and probably others).

  *) core_output_filter: don't split the brigade after a FLUSH bucket if
     it's the last bucket.  This prevents creating unneccessary empty
     brigades which may not be destroyed until the end of a keepalive
     connection.
     [Juan Rivera <Juan.Rivera@citrix.com>]

  *) Add support for "streamy" PROPFIND responses.
     [Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman@collab.net>]

  *) mod_cgid: Eliminate a double-close of a socket.  This resolves
     various operational problems in a threaded MPM, since on the
     second attempt to close the socket, the same descriptor was
     often already in use by another thread for another purpose.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_negotiation: Introduce "prefer-language" environment variable,
     which allows to influence the negotiation process on request basis
     to prefer a certain language.  [André Malo]

  *) Make mod_expires' ExpiresByType work properly, including for
     dynamically-generated documents.  [Ken Coar, Bill Stoddard]

Changes with Apache 2.0.46

  *) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0245]: Fixed a bug causing apr_pvsprintf() to crash 
     by sending an overly long string.  This can be triggered remotely 
     through mod_dav, mod_ssl, and other mechanisms.  Reported by David
     Endler <DEndler@iDefense.com>.
     [Joe Orton <jorton@redhat.com>]

  *) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0189]: Fixed a denial-of-service vulnerability
     affecting basic authentication on Unix platforms related to
     thread-safety in apr_password_validate().  The problem was reported
     by John Hughes <john.hughes@entegrity.com>.

  *) Fix for mod_dav.  Call the 'can_be_activity' callback, if provided,
     when a MKACTIVITY request comes in.
     [Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman@collab.net>]

  *) Perform run-time query in apxs for apr and apr-util's includes.
  *) run libtool from the apr install directory (in case that is different
     from the apache install directory) [Jeff Trawick]
  *) configure.in: Play nice with libtool-1.5. [Wilfredo Sanchez]

  *) If mod_mime_magic does not know the content-type, do not attempt to
     guess.  PR 16908.  [Andrew Gapon <agapon@telcordia.com>]

  *) ssl session caching(shmht) : Fix a SEGV problem with SHMHT session
     caching. PR 17864.
     [Andreas Leimbacher <andreasl67@yahoo.de>, Madhusudan Mathihalli]

  *) Add a delete flag to htpasswd.
     [Thom May]

  *) Fix mod_rewrite's handling of absolute URIs. The escaping routines
     now work scheme dependent and the query string will only be
     appended if supported by the particular scheme.  [André Malo]

  *) Add another check for already compressed content in mod_deflate.
     PR 19913. [Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO <nazonazo@super.win.ne.jp>]

  *) Fixes for VPATH builds; copying special.mk and any future .mk files 
     from the source tree as well as the build tree (now creates a usable
     configuration for apxs), and eliminated redundant -I'nclude paths.
     [William Rowe]

  *) Code fixes, constness corrections and ssl_toolkit_compat.h updates
     for SSLC and OpenSSL toolkit compatibility.  Still work remains to
     be done to cripple features based on the limitations of RSA's binary 
     distribution of their SSL-C toolkit.
     [William Rowe, Madhusudan Mathihalli, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Linux 2.4+: If Apache is started as root and you code 
     CoreDumpDirectory, coredumps are enabled via the prctl() syscall.
     [Greg Ames]

  *) ap_get_mime_headers_core: allocate space for the trailing null
     when folding is in effect.
     PR 18170 [Peter Mayne <PeterMayne@SPAM_SUX.ap.spherion.com>]

  *) Fix --enable-mods-shared=most and other variants.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) mod_log_config: Add the ability to log the id of the thread 
     processing the request via new %P formats.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Use appropriate language codes for Czech (cs) and Traditional Chinese
     (zh-tw) in default config files. PR 9427.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_auth_ldap: Use generic whitespace character class when parsing
     "require" directives, instead of literal spaces only. PR 17135.
     [André Malo]

  *) Hook mod_rewrite's type checker before mod_mime's one. That way the
     RewriteRule [T=...] Flag should work as expected now. PR 19626.
     [André Malo]

  *) htpasswd: Check the processed file on validity. If a line is not empty
     and not a comment, it must contain at least one colon. Otherwise exit
     with error code 7. [Kris Verbeeck <Kris.Verbeeck@ubizen.com>, Thom May]

  *) Fix a problem that caused httpd to be linked with incorrect flags
     on some platforms when mod_so was enabled by default, breaking 
     DSOs on AIX.  PR 19012  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) By default, use the same CC and CPP with which APR was built.
     The user can override with CC and CPP environment variables.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix ap_construct_url() so that it surrounds IPv6 literal address
     strings with [].  This fixes certain types of redirection.
     PR 19207.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) forward port of buffer overflow fixes for htdigest. [Thom May]

  *) Added AllowEncodedSlashes directive to permit control of whether
     the server will accept encoded slashes ('%2f') in the URI path.
     Default condition is off (the historical behaviour).  This permits
     environments in which the path-info needs to contain encoded
     slashes.  PR 543, 2389, 3581, 3589, 5687, 7066, 7865, 14639.  [Ken Coar]
  *) When using Redirect in directory context, append requested query
     string if there's no one supplied by configuration. PR 10961.
     [André Malo]

  *) Unescape the supplied wildcard pattern in mod_autoindex. Otherwise
     the pattern will not always match as desired. PR 12596.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_autoindex now emits and accepts modern query string parameter
     delimiters (;). Thus column headers no longer contain unescaped
     ampersands. PR 10880  [André Malo]

  *) Enable ap_sock_disable_nagle for Windows. This along with the 
     addition of APR_TCP_NODELAY_INHERITED to apr.hw will cause Nagle 
     to be disabled for Windows. [Allan Edwards]

  *) Correct a mis-correlation between mpm_common.c and mpm_common.h;
     This patch reverts us to pre-2.0.46 behavior, using the 
     ap_sock_disable_nagle noop macro, because ap_sock_disable_nagle 
     was never compiled on Win32. [Allan Edwards, William Rowe]

  *) Fix a build problem with passing unsupported --enable-layout
     args to apr and apr-util.  This broke binbuild.sh as well as
     user-specified layout parameters.  PR 18649 [Justin Erenkrantz,
     Jeff Trawick]

  *) If a Date response header was already set in the headers array,
     this value was ignored in favour of the current time. This meant
     that Date headers on proxied requests where rewritten when they
     should not have been. PR: 14376 [Graham Leggett]

  *) Add code to buildconf that produces an httpd.spec file from
     httpd.spec.in, using build/get-version.sh from APR.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Fixed a segfault when multiple ProxyBlock directives were used.
     PR: 19023 [Sami Tikka <sami.tikka@f-secure.com>]

  *) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0134] OS2: Fix a Denial of Service vulnerability 
     identified and reported by Robert Howard <rihoward@rawbw.com> that 
     where device names faulted the running OS2 worker process.
     The fix is actually in APR 0.9.4.  [Brian Havard]
