Changes with Apache 2.1.0-dev

  [Remove entries to the current 2.0 section below, when backported]
  *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid, mod_ext_filter: Log errors when scripts cannot
     be started on Unix because of such problems as bad permissions,
     bad shebang line, etc.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix suexec compile error under SUNOS4, where strerror() doesn't
     exist. PR 5913, 9977.
     [Jonathan W Miner <Jonathan.W.Miner@lmco.com>]

  *) Fix mod_auth_digest not to use local paths for the domain parameter
     on non-unix systems. PR 16937.  [André Malo]

  *) Let suexec send a message to stderr, if it failed or its policy
     was violated. This message appears in the error log and allows

     for easier debugging. PR 5381, 7638, 8255, 10773.  [André Malo]
  *) Try to log an error if a piped log program fails.  Try to
     restart a piped log program in more failure situations.  Fix an
     existing problem with error handling in piped_log_spawn().  Use
     new APR apr_proc_create() features to prevent Apache from starting
     on Unix* in most cases where a piped log program can be started,
     and add log messages for the other situations.  *Other platforms
     already failed Apache initialization if a piped log program
     couldn't be started.  PR 15761  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Fix mod_cern_meta to not create empty metafiles when the
     metafile searched for does not exist.  PR 12353
     [Owen Rees <owen_rees@hp.com>]

  *) Modify buildconf to copy all required files into httpd's tree.
     [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Allow mod_dav to do weak entity comparison functions.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix If header parsing when a non-mod_dav lock token is passed to it.
     PR 16452.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_negotiation: Introduce "prefer-language" environment variable,
     which allows to influence the negotiation process on request basis
     to prefer a certain language.  [André Malo]

  *) Added AllowEncodedSlashes directive which permits request URIs
     to encode '/' as '%2f' and pass it to scripts in path-info without
     triggering the 'no encoded slashes anywhere' legacy rule.
     PR 543, 2389, 3581, 3589, 5687, 7066, 7865, 14639.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Add mod_authz_owner - a forward port of "Require file-owner"
     and "Require file-group", which was already present in version
     1.3.21.  [André Malo]

  *) Add mod_dav_lock - a generic subset of the DAV locking implementation.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Replace some of the mutex locking in the worker MPM with
     atomic operations for higher concurrency.  [Brian Pane]

  *) mod_deflate: Extend the DeflateFilterNote directive to
     allow accurate logging of the filter's in- and outstream.
     [André Malo]

  *) Allow 'make depend' to work with non-GCC compilers.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_cache: Fix PR 15113, a core dump in cache_in_filter when
     a redirect occurs. The code was passing a format string and
     integer to apr_pstrcat. Changed to apr_psprintf.
     [Paul J. Reder]

  *) Fix a bug where we leak fd's until the end of a keepalive 
     connection, which may result in:
       (24)Too many open files: file permissions deny server access
     especially on threaded servers.  [Greg Ames]

  *) If an httpd.conf has commented out AddModule directives, 
     apxs -i -a will add an un-commented AddModule directive for 
     the new module, which breaks the config.
     PR: 11212 [Joe Orton]

  *) Fix mod_proxy handling of filtered input bodies.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Move the check of the Expect request header field after the hook
     for ap_post_read_request, since that is the only opportunity for
     modules to handle Expect extensions.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Introduce debugging symbols for Win32 release builds, both .pdb 
     and .dbg files (older debuggers and Dr. Watson-type utilities 
     on WinNT or Win9x don't support the newer .pdb flavor.)
     [Allen Edwards, William Rowe]

  *) Fix bug where 'Satisfy Any' without an AuthType lost all MIME
     information (and more). Related to PR 9076.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_file_cache: fix segfault serving mmaped cached files.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) mod_file_cache: fixed a segfault when multiple MMapFile directives
     were used.  PR 16313.  [Cliff Woolley]
  *) Fix a nasty segfault in mmap_bucket_setaside() caused by passing
     an incompatible pointer type to mmap_bucket_destroy(void*).
     [Gerard Eviston <geviston@bigpond.net.au>]

  *) Enable the -n name parameter on NetWare to allow the
     administrator to rename the Apache console screen
     [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fixed piped access logs on Win32 by disabling OTHER_CHILD
     support by default in APR.  More development is required
     to deploy OTHER_CHILD on Win32.  [William Rowe]

  *) Use saner default config values for suexec. PR 15713.
     [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow "RewriteEngine Off" even if no "Options FollowSymlinks"
     (or SymlinksIfOwnermatch) is set. PR 12395.  [André Malo]

  *) apxs: Include any special APR ld flags when linking the DSO.
     This resolves problems on AIX when building a DSO with apxs+gcc.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Added character set support to mod_auth_LDAP to allow it to 
     convert extended characters used in the user ID to UTF-8 
     before authenticating against the LDAP directory. The new
     directive AuthLDAPCharsetConfig is used to specify the config
     file that contains the character set conversion table.
     [Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) Don't remove the Content-Length from responses in mod_proxy
     PR: 8677 [Brian Pane]

  *) Ensure LDAP version is set to v3 on every bind. PR 14235.
     [Sergey A. Lipnevich <sergeyli@pisem.net>]

  *) Fix mod_ldap to open an existing shared memory file should one
     already exist. PR 12757. [Scooter Morris <scooter@gene.com>, 
     Graham Leggett]

  *) Fix the ulimit command used by apachectl on Tru64.  PR 13609.
     [Joseph Senulis <Joseph.Senulis@dnr.state.wi.us>, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Change the ulimit command used by apachectl on AIX so that it
     works in all locales.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ext_filter: Fix a problem building argument lists which 
     occasionally caused exec to fail.  PR 15491.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_autoindex: Bring forward the IndexOptions IgnoreCase option
     from Apache 1.3.  PR 14276
     [David Shane Holden <dpejesh@yahoo.com>, William Rowe]

  *) mod_mime: Workaround to prevent a segfault if r->filename=NULL
     [Brian Pane]

  *) Reorder the definitions for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap within
     config.m4 to make sure the parent mod_ldap is defined first.
     This ensures that mod_ldap comes before mod_auth_ldap in the
     httpd.conf file, which is necessary for mod_auth_ldap to load.
     PR 14256  [Graham Leggett]

  *) Fix the building of cgi command lines when the query string
     contains '='.  PR 13914  [Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>,
     Jeff Trawick]

  *) Rename CacheMaxStreamingBuffer to MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer. Move
     implementation of MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer from mod_cache to
     mod_mem_cache. MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer now defaults to the
     lesser of 100,000 bytes or MCacheMaxCacheObjectSize. This should 
     eliminate the need for explicitly coding MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer
     in most configurations. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Replace APU_HAS_LDAPSSL_CLIENT_INIT with APU_HAS_LDAP_NETSCAPE_SSL
     as set by apr-util in util_ldap.c. This should allow mod_ldap
     to work with the Netscape/Mozilla LDAP library. [Øyvin Sømme
     <somme@oslo.westerngeco.slb.com>, Graham Leggett]

  *) Fix critical bug in new --enable-v4-mapped configure option
     implementation which broke IPv4 listening sockets on some
     systems.  [hiroyuki hanai <hanai@imgsrc.co.jp>]

  *) mod_setenvif: Fix BrowserMatchNoCase support for non-regex
     patterns [André Malo <nd@perlig.de>]
