*) Fix AcceptPathInfo. PR 8234 [Cliff Woolley]
*) [Security] Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
*) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would
omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list
would appear to the right of the column headings instead of
underneath them. PR 8016 [David Shane Holden <dpejesh@yahoo.com>]

*) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
load a module which is built-in. This is a common error when
switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
that requirement. [Sander Striker]

server. It is now possible to browse the root directory by using
a url like: ftp://user@host/%2f/ (ported from apache_1.3.24)
Also, the last path component may contain wildcard characters
'*' and '?', and if they do, a directory listing is created instead

filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider
API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein]
*) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure
we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails.
This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process
the returned socket if it was non-NULL. [Brian Pane]
*) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter
to avoid segfaults. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
*) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what
data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs. MMN
bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of
the core_dir_config structure. [Ken Coar]
*) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the
wrong config to ap_get_remote_host(). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by
using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of
750. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when
the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
*) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core,
mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable
modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former
compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule
directives. [William Rowe]
*) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by
duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include
directory, including in the build tree. [William Rowe]
*) mod_ssl adjustments to help with using toolkits other than OpenSSL:
Use SSL functions/macros instead of directly dereferencing SSL
structures wherever possible.
Add type-casts for the cases where functions return a generic pointer.
Add $SSL/include to configure search path.
[Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]
*) Moved several pointers out of the shared Scoreboard so it is
more portable, and will present the vhost name across server
generation restarts. [William Rowe]

*) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections
and handling CONNECT:
(1) PR #9190 Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts.
(2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by
the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core
modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously
listed as config_log_module). PR #9338

*) Provide $0..$9 results from mod_include regex parsing.
[William Rowe]
*) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman]
*) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent
returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases,
when using Multiviews. [William Rowe]
*) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working
together reliably [Greg Ames]
*) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config
phase. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause
problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs.
[Aaron Bannert]
*) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during
child process exits. [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert]
*) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
*) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4
vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of
that address. [Jeff Trawick]
*) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm
used to find "<!--#" tokens in mod_include [Brian Pane]
*) Miscellaneous small performance fixes: optimized away various
string copy operations and removed large temp buffers from
the stack [Brian Pane]
*) Fixed startup segfault that occurred when a VirtualHost
directive had a port but no address [Brian Pane]
*) Allow htdbm to work with multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]

*) Win32: Made change to apr_sendfile() to return APR_ENOTIMPL
if oslevel < WINNT. This should fix several problems reported
Against 2.0.28 on Windows 98 [Bill Stoddard]
*) Win32: Fix bug that could cause CGI scripts with QUERY_STRINGS
to fail. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Change core code to allow an MPM to set hard thread/server
limits at startup. prefork, worker, and perchild MPMs now have
directives to set these limits. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
eliminates a number of spurious
setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Move any load library path environment variables out of
apachectl and into a separate environment variable file which
can be more easily tailored by the admin. The environment
variable file as built by Apache may have additional system-
specific settings. For example, on OS/390 we tailor the heap
settings to allow lots of threads. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Use the new APR pool code to reduce pool-related lock
contention in the worker MPM. [Sander Striker]
*) The POD no longer assumes the child is listening on 127.0.0.1
and now pulls the first hostname in the list of listeners to
perform the dummy connect on. This fixes a bug when the user
had configured the Listen directive for an IP other than
127.0.0.1. This would result in undead children and error
messages such as "Connection refused: connect to listener".
[Aaron Bannert]
*) The worker MPM now respects the LockFile setting, needed to
avoid locking problems with NFS. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix segfault when worker MPM receives SIGHUP.
[Ian Holsman, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix bug that could potentially prevent the perchild MPM from
working with more than one vhost/uid. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Change make install and apxs -i processing of DSO modules to
perform special handling on platforms where libtool doesn't install
mod_foo.so. This fixes some wonkiness on HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX
which prevented standard LoadModule statements from working.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Whenever mod_so is enabled (not just when there are DSOs for
our modules), do whatever special magic is required for compiling/
loading third-party modules. This allows third-party DSOs to
be used on an AIX build when there were no built-in modules
built as DSOs. (This should help on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Allow apxs to be used to build DSOs on AIX without requiring the
user to hard-code the list of import files. (This should help
on OS/390 and BeOS as well.) [Jeff Trawick]
*) Resolved segfault in mod_isapi when configuring with ISAPICacheFile.

*) Fix the cmd command for mod_include. When we are processing
a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set
the command name. The command comes from the SSI tag. To do this,
I added a variable to the function that builds the command line
in mod_cgi. This allows the include_cmd function to specify
the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom]
