  *) SECURITY: CVE-2014-0098 (cve.mitre.org)
     Clean up cookie logging with fewer redundant string parsing passes.
     Log only cookies with a value assignment. Prevents degfaults when
     logging truncated cookies.
     [William Rowe, Ruediger Pluem, Jim Jagielski]

  *) core: draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-23 corrections regarding
     TE/CL conflicts. [Yann Ylavic <ylavic.dev gmail com>, Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_dir: Add DirectoryCheckHandler to allow a 2.2-like behavior, skipping 
     execution when a handler is already set. PR53929. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_ssl: Do not perform SNI / Host header comparison in case of a
     forward proxy request. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_ssl: Remove the hardcoded algorithm-type dependency for the
     SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile directives, to enable
     future algorithm agility, and deprecate the SSLCertificateChainFile
     directive (obsoleted by SSLCertificateFile). [Kaspar Brand]

  *) mod_rewrite: Add RewriteOptions InheritDown, InheritDownBefore, 
     and IgnoreInherit to allow RewriteRules to be pushed from parent scopes
     to child scopes without explicitly configuring each child scope.

  *) prefork: Fix long delays when doing a graceful restart.
     PR 54852 [Jim Jagielski, Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm maven pl>]

     5+ instead of just for FreeBSD 5. PR 53824. [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Avoid busy loop on client errors, drop message
     IDs 02445, 02446, and 02448 to TRACE1 from DEBUG. PR 56145.
     [Joffroy Christen <joffroy.christen solvaxis com>, Eric Covener]

  *) mod_remoteip: Correct the trusted proxy match test. PR 54651.
     [Yoshinori Ehara <yoshinori ehara gmail com>, Eugene L <eugenel amazon com>]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Fix error message when an unexpected protocol version
     number is received from the application.  PR 56110.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_remoteip: Use the correct IP addresses to populate the proxy_ips field.
     PR 55972. [Mike Rumph]

  *) mod_lua: Update r:setcookie() to accept a table of options and add domain,
     path and httponly to the list of options available to set.
     PR 56128 [Edward Lu <Chaosed0 gmail com>, Daniel Gruno]

  *) mod_lua: Allow for database results to be returned as a hash with 
     row-name/value pairs instead of just row-number/value. [Daniel Gruno]

  *) mod_rewrite: Add %{CONN_REMOTE_ADDR} as the non-useragent counterpart to
     %{REMOTE_ADDR}. PR 56094. [Edward Lu <Chaosed0 gmail com>]

  *) WinNT MPM: If ap_run_pre_connection() fails or sets c->aborted, don't
     save the socket for reuse by the next worker as if it were an 
     APR_SO_DISCONNECTED socket. Restores 2.2 behavior. [Eric Covener]

     SessionExclude configuration. PR 56038. [Erik Pearson
     <erik adaptations.com>]

     stanzas under virtual hosts. PR 55622. [Eric Covener]

     packets.  [Jeff Trawick]

     Unless custom parameters are configured, the standardized parameters
     are applied based on the certificate's RSA/DSA key size. [Kaspar Brand]

  *) mod_ssl, configure: Require OpenSSL 0.9.8a or later. [Kaspar Brand]

  *) mod_ssl: drop support for export-grade ciphers with ephemeral RSA
     keys, and unconditionally disable aNULL, eNULL and EXP ciphers
