  *) mod_ldap: Updated to use the new apr-util v1.1 apr_ldap_*_option()
     API for the setting of server and client SSL certificates. Replaced
     LDAPTrustedCA directive with LDAPTrustedGlobalCert and
     LDAPTrustedClientCert directives to correctly support global certs
     (CA certs / Netware client certs) and per connection client certs
     as supported by Netware, OpenLDAP and Netscape/Mozilla.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_proxy: Handle client-aborted connections correctly.  PR 32443.
     [Janne Hietamäki, Joe Orton]

  *) mod_cache: Remove unimplemented CacheForceCompletion directive.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) support/check_forensic: Fix temp file usage
     [Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs computer.org>]

  *) mod_ssl: Add SSLCADNRequestFile and SSLCADNRequestPath directives
     which can be used to configure a specific list of CA names to send
     in a client certificate request.  PR 32848. 
     [Tim Taylor <tim.taylor dfas.mil>]

  *) --with-module can now take more than one module to be statically
     linked: --with-module=<modtype>:<modfile>,<modtype>:<modfile>,...
     If the <modtype>-subdirectory doesn't exist it will be created and
     populated with a standard Makefile.in.  [Erik Abele]

  *) Remove some compiler warnings within the LDAP modules [Graham Leggett]

  *) Add a build script to create a solaris package. [Graham Leggett]

  *) ap_http_scheme() replaced with ap_http_method() - this function
     returns the scheme (http v.s. https).
     [William Rowe]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix a request corruption problem and a buffering problem
     which sometimes prevented proxy-sendchunks from working.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix the RPM spec file so that an RPM build now works. An RPM
     build now requires system installations of APR and APR-util.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Significantly simplify the load balancer scheduling algorithm
     for the proxy BalancerMember weighting. loadfactors (lbfactors)
     are now normalized with respect to each other. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_dumpio: Added to the available module suite; it is an
     I/O logging/dumping module. Placed in the (new) debug module
     subdirectory. mod_bucketeer moved to that directory as well.
     [Jim Jagielski]
  *) core: Add support for APR_TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT to defer accepting
     of a connection until data is available.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) conf: Remove AddDefaultCharset from the default configuration because
     setting a site-wide default does more harm than good. PR 23421.
     [Roy Fielding]

Changes with Apache 2.1.2

  *) mod_proxy: Respect errors reported by pre_connection hooks.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) worker MPM: Fix a problem which could cause httpd processes to
     remain active after shutdown.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Error out on sections that are missing an argument instead of
     silently consuming the section. PR 25460.
     [Geoffrey Young, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Move out of experimental.

  *) Upgraded PCRE to version 5.0. [Brian Pane]
  *) mod_cgid: Catch configuration problem where two web server instances
     share same ServerRoot but admin forgot to use ScriptSock.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_cgi: Ensure that all stderr is logged for a script which returns
     a Location header to generate a non-local redirect.  PR 20111.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Added the Event MPM to more efficiently handle clients during a 
     Keep Alive request.
     [Paul Querna, Greg Ames]

Changes with Apache 2.1.1

  *) mod_proxy_http: Stream content better - always flush buffered data to
     the client before blocking waiting for new data.  PR 19954.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for command-line option "-t -DDUMP_CERTS" which
     will dump the filenames of all configured SSL certificates to stdout.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Remove a bunch of non-implemented garbage collection
     and cache size directives that are now available through htcacheclean.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add htcacheclean to support/ for assistance with mod_disk_cache.
     [Andreas Steinmetz]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-filter" that
     allows the module to authorize a user based on a complex LDAP
  *) mod_usertrack: Run the fixups hook before other modules.
  *) Allow mod_authnz_ldap authorization functionality to be used 
     without requiring the user to also be authenticated through 
     mod_authnz_ldap. This allows other authentication modules to 
     take advantage of LDAP authorization only [PR 28253]
     [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) Log the client IP address when an error occurs disabling nagle on a
     connection, but log at a severity of debug since this error 
     generally means that the connection was dropped before data was
     sent.  Log the client IP address when reporting errors in the core
     output filter.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add ap_log_cerror() for logging messages associated with particular
     client connections.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Add a warning message if the request line read fails.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreHeaders directive.  PR 30399.
     [Rüiger Plü <r.pluem t-online.de>]

  *) mod_rewrite: Removed the MaxRedirects option in favor of the
     core LimitInternalRecursion directive.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_auth_ldap: Handle the inconsistent way in which the MS LDAP
     library handles special characters. PR 24437 [Jess Holle]

  *) Unix MPMs: Shut down the server more quickly when child processes are
     slow to exit.  [Joe Orton, Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_info: Added listing of the Request Hooks and added more build 
     information like 'httpd -V' contains. Changed output to XHTML. 
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_info: Rewrote config tree walk using a recursive function.
     Added ?config option. Added printout of config filename and line numbers.
     [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix type error that prevents proxy-sendchunks from working.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix data corruption by properly setting aside buckets.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_proxy: If a request has a blank body and has a 0 Content-Length
     headers, pass that to the proxy.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Recognize QSA flag in mod_rewrite again.
     [Jan Kratochvil <rcpt-dev.AT.httpd.apache.org jankratochvil.net>]

  *) Restructured mod_auth_ldap to fit the new authentication model.
     The module is now called authnz_ldap and has been moved out of
     the modules/experimental area and into modules/aaa with the other
     auth modules.  Both the authn_ldap provider and the authz_ldap
     handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module.  The 
     authz_ldap handler introduces 3 new "requires" values for handling
     authorization.  These handlers are ldap-user, ldap-group and 
     ldap-dn. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fix some compiler warnings in proxy
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]

  *) mod_ssl: Add SSL_CLIENT_V_REMAIN variable, representing the
     number of days until the client cert expires.  [Joe Orton]

  *) Add test_config hook, run only if httpd is invoked using -t.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Improve error handling for corrupted pid files.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy.c and proxy_util.c: Enable compiling on 2.0-HEAD 
     (for backwards compatibility):
     Avoids mod_ssl.h (not included in 2.0-HEAD) and
     use apr_socket_create_ex for 0.9.x 
     [Mladen Turk]

  *) Added proxy_ajp.c module for proxy support to ajp:// backends.
     [Jean Frederic Clere]

  *) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
     as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there
     is a LNK2001 error when building proxy_http. [Mladen Turk]

  *) Remove LDAP toolkit specific code from util_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
