[Remove entries to the current 2.0 section below, when backported]
Paul Querna
committed
*) 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]
*) 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]
Bradley Nicholes
committed
*) mod_authnz_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-filter" that
allows the module to authorize a user based on a complex LDAP
search filter. [Brad Nicholes]
*) mod_usertrack: Run the fixups hook before other modules.
PR 29755. [Paul Querna]
*) 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]

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]

[Justin Erenkrantz]

[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]

(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]
Justin Erenkrantz
committed

PR 28204. [Erik Weide <erik.weidel mplus-technologies.de>, Paul Querna]
*) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded
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_headers: implement "Early" processing option in post_read_request
to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]
*) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
*) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
[Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
*) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
[André Malo]
*) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length
e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]
*) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
file name. PR 29003. [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]
*) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
than the client's. PR 28665.
[Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
*) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
[Joe Orton]
Justin Erenkrantz

them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3. PR 28815

Andre Malo
committed
*) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
bytes. [André Malo]
*) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
and ap_process_resource_config. [André Malo]
*) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
[André Malo]

[André Malo]

configuration containers. [André Malo]

format is used. PR 27787. [André Malo]
*) Allow Digest providers to return AUTH_DENIED to propagate a 401
status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.

stack size for threads which handle client connections. Required
for some third-party modules on platforms with small default

now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
[Geoffrey Young]
*) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).

*) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
[André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
mode. PR 25635. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
the [handler=...] flag. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns
true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.

filesystem name are rejected with 403. [Jeff Trawick]

*) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases
that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
incompatible change of mod_include's external API. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
PR 14223. [André Malo]

type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews. [André Malo]
