     function of the mod_env module. PR 11791

  *) New option to ServerTokens 'maj[or]'. Only show the major version
     Also Surfaced this directive in the standard config (default FULL)
     [Ian Holsman]

  *) Change mod_rewrite to use apr-util's dbm support for dbm rewrite
     maps.  The dbm type (e.g., ndbm, gdbm) can be specified on the
     RewriteMap directive.  PR 10644  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Fixed mod_rewrite's RewriteMap prg: support so that request/response
     pairs will no longer get out of sync with each other.  PR 9534

  *) mod_disk_cache works much better. This module should still
     be considered experimental. [Eric Prud'hommeaux]
  *) Performance improvement for keepalive requests: when setting
     aside a small file for potential concatenation with the next
     response on the connection, set aside the file descriptor rather
     than copying the file into the heap.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Modified version check on openssl so that it finds the executable
     first and then performs a check of the version, only warning the
     user if they chose, or we selected, an old version of OpenSSL.
     This change also allows the code to work for non-openssl libraries
     selected via the --with-ssl=dir option, which can override the
     automated library check in any case.  [Roy Fielding]

     applies only to the Win32, OS2 and Netware platforms.  Unix was not 
     affected, Cygwin may be affected.  Certain URIs will bypass security
     and allow users to invoke or access any file depending on the system 
     configuration.  Without upgrading, a single .conf change will close 
     the vulnerability.  Add the following directive in the global server
     httpd.conf context before any other Alias or Redirect directives;
         RedirectMatch 400 "\\\.\."

     buffers into a single buffer.  However, we destroyed the pointers
     to the header buffer if a trailer buffer was present.  PR 10781

  *) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to enable or disable a filter via
     an environment variable.  Add the ability to register a filter of
     type other than AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Restore the ability to specify host names on Listen directives.
     PR 11030.  [Jeff Trawick, David Shane Holden <dpejesh@yahoo.com>]

  *) When deciding on the default address family for listening sockets, 
     make sure we can actually bind to an AF_INET6 socket before
     deciding that we should default to AF_INET6.  This fixes a startup
     problem on certain levels of OpenUNIX.  PR 10235.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Replace usage of atol() to parse strings when we might want a
     larger-than-long value with apr_atoll(), which returns long long.
     This allows HTTPD to deal with larger files correctly.
     [Shantonu Sen <ssen@apple.com>]

  *) mod_ext_filter: Ignore any content-type parameters when checking if
     the response should be filtered.  Previously, "intype=text/html"
     wouldn't match something like "text/html;charset=8859_1".

     additional POST body.  [William Rowe]

     to configure the maximum amount of memory the allocators will
     hold on to for reuse.  Anything over the MaxMemFree threshold

  *) Fixed the Content-Length filter so that HTTP/1.0 requests to CGI
     scripts would not result in a truncated response.
     [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Add a filter_init parameter to the filter registration functions
     so that a filter can execute arbitrary code before the handlers
     are invoked.  This resolves a problem where mod_include requests
     would incorrectly return a 304.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix a long-standing bug in 2.0, CGI scripts were being called
     with relative paths instead of absolute paths.  Apache 1.3 used
     absolute paths for everything except for SuExec, this brings back
     that standard.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix infinite loop due to two HTTP_IN filters being present for
     internally redirected requests.  PR 10146.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Switch conn_rec->keepalive to an enumeration rather than a bitfield.

     extended characters (non US-ASCII) in non-utf8 format.  This brings
     Win32 back into CGI/1.1 compliance, and leaves charset decoding up

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

     both -c and -n had been used.  PR 9989  [Cliff Woolley]

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]

     one was already sent.  PR 9644  [Jeff Trawick]

     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]

     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.

     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.
