Joe Orton committed

  *) Change the default (when not present in the config file) setting
     for UseCanonicalName to Off.
     [Joshua Slive]

  *) mod_userdir: The module no longer does any remapping unless the
     UserDir directive is present in the config file.
     [Joshua Slive]

  *) Massively simplify the distributed httpd.conf by removing
     many features and many directives that are at their default
     setting.  Add a selection of example config excerpts for adding
     extra features in the conf/extra/ directory.  Install the
     distributed config and the extra config examples in the
     conf/original/ directory during make install.
     [Joshua Slive, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) NetWare: Reposition mod_asis, mod_actions, mod_cgi, mod_imagemap,
     mod_userdir and mod_autoindex as shared modules rather than 
     built-in modules within the NetWare build.
     [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Rename mod_imap to mod_imagemap.
     [Paul Querna]

     end of the request body to work with really old HTTP servers.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) util_ldap: Keep track of the number of attributes retrieved from 
     LDAP so that all the values can be properly cached even if the

     Andres Salomon <dilinger voxel.net>]

  *) Renamed regex interfaces to be namespace-safe, and moved from
     pcreposix.h header to ap_regex.h: regex_t->ap_regex_t,

     PR 15859.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix incorrect decoding/unescaping for reverse proxies.
     PR 32459, 15207. [Jim Jagielski]

     byte count. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Cache r->err_headers_out headers.  This allows CGI
     scripts to be properly cached.  [Justin Erenkrantz, Sander Striker]

  *) 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

     as supported by Netware, OpenLDAP and Netscape/Mozilla.

  *) 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.

     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.

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

     information like 'httpd -V' contains. Changed output to XHTML.

     [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>]

     [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.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Remove deprecated/removed APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS().  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) perchild MPM: Fix thread safety problem in the use of longjmp().
     [Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO <nazonazo super.win.ne.jp>]

     load balancing support in mod_proxy. [Mladen Turk]

  *) mod_nw_ssl: Added the directive NWSSLUpgradeable to mod_nw_ssl to 
     allow a non-secure connection to be upgraded to secure connections
     [Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) core: Add Options= syntax to AllowOverride to specify which options
     may be overridden in .htaccess files. PR 29310.

     modules. '-t -D DUMP_MODULES' and '-M' will show all static 
     and shared modules as loaded from the configuration file.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
     that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403. 
     PR 10575.  [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
     [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
     SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.

     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
     the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:

     actual server root.  PR 27886.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
     "ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured.  PR 20183.
     [Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]

  *) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize 
     directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread 
     stack size for threads which handle client connections.  Required 
     for some third-party modules on platforms with small default 
     thread stack size.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync.  mod_auth_basic
