Changes with Apache 2.0.29
  *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long
     lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes.
     [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is 
     installed in the correct location.
     [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu <hiramatu@boreas.dti.ne.jp> and
      Gomez Henri <hgomez@slib.fr>]

  *) 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]

  *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you
     to flag a error while opening logs
     [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern]

  *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you
     to flag a error post config
     [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is
     hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure
     script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death
     [Brian Pane]

  *) Add mod_deflate to experimental.  
     [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified.
     [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]

  *) Prevent segv in ap_note_basic_auth_failure() when no AuthName is
     configured [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
  *) Fix apxs to use sbindir.  [Henri Gomez <hgomez@slib.fr>]

  *) Fix a problem with IPv6 vhosts.  PR #8118  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Optimization for the BNDM string-search function in
     mod_include.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Fixed the behavior of the XBitHack directive.
     [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>, Cliff Woolley] PR#8804

  *) The threaded MPM for Unix has been removed.  Use the worker
     MPM instead.  [various]

  *) APR-ize the resolver logic in mod_unique_id.  This fixes a bug
     in logging the error from a failed DNS lookup.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Added the missing macros AP_INIT_TAKE13 and AP_INIT_TAKE123.
     [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Get mod_cgid killed when a MPM exits due to a fatal error.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a file descriptor leak in mod_include.  When we include a
     file, we use a sub-request, but we didn't destroy the sub-request
     immediately, instead we waited until the original request was
     done.  This patch closes the sub-request as soon as the data is
     done being generated.  [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) Allow modules that add sockets to the ap_listeners list to
     define the function that should be used to accept on that
     socket.  Each MPM can define their own function to use for
     the accept function with the MPM_ACCEPT_FUNC macro.  This
     also abstracts out all of the Unix accept error handling
     logic, which has become out of synch across Unix MPMs.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix a bug which would cause the response headers to be omitted
     when sending a negotiated ErrorDocument because the required
     filters were attached to the wrong request_rec.
     [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]

  *) Remove commas from the end of the macros that define
     directives that are used by MPMs.  Prior to this patch,
     you would use these macros without commas, which was unlike
     the macros for any other directives.  Now, the caller provides
     the comma rather than the macro providing it.  This makes
     the macros look more like the rest of the directives.
     [Ryan Bloom and Cliff Woolley]
  *) Add 'redirect-carefully' environment option to disable sending
     redirects under special circumstances.  This is helpful for 
     Microsoft's WebFolders when accessing a directory resource via
     DAV methods.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Begin to abstract out the underlying transport layer.
     The first step is to remove the socket from the conn_rec,
     the server now lives in a context that is passed to the
     core's input and output filters. This forces us to be very
     careful when adding calls that use the socket directly,
     because the socket isn't available in most locations.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Really reset the MaxClients value in worker and threaded
     when the configured value is not a multiple of the number 
     of threads per child.  We said we did previously but we 
     forgot to. [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Add Debian layout.  [Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>]

  *) If shared modules are requested and mod_so is not available,
     produce a fatal config-time error.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Improve http2env's performance by cutting the work it has to
     do.  [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) use new 'apr_hash_merge' function in mod_mime (performance fix)
     [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c.  
     [Dale Ghent <daleg@elemental.org>, Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the
     server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for
     run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on
     SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of
     UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections
     work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the
     connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName
     setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated
     to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer]
  *) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in
     the same way as mod_log_confg.  [Ian Holsman]

  *) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and
     AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard
     MPMs.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization
     databases.  [Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>]

  *) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk.
     [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) Introduce an Apache mod_ssl initial configuration template 
     (ssl.conf, generated from ssl-std.conf).  [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fixed a memory leak in the getline parsing code that could
     be triggered by arbitrarily large header lines. Requests
     from the core input filter for single lines are now limited
     to HUGE_STRING_LEN (8192 bytes).  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix a truncation bug in how we print the port on the Via: header. 
     The routine that prints the Via: header now takes a length for
     the port string.  [Zvi Har'El <rl@math.technion.ac.il>]

  *) Some syntax errors in mod_mime_magic's magic file can result
     in a 500 error, which previously was unlogged.  Now we log the
     error.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add the support/checkgid helper app, which checks the run-time
     validity of group identifiers usable in the Group directive.
     [Ken Coar]

  *) Various --enable-so options have been fixed: --enable-so is
     treated as "static"; explicit --enable-so=shared issues an error;
     and explicit --enable-so fails with error on systems without
     APR_HAS_DSO.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix a segfault in the core input filter when the client socket
     gets disconnected unexpectedly.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix the reporting for child processes that die.  This removes
     all of the non-portable W* macros from Apache. 
     [Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom]

  *) Win32: Track and display "Parent Server Generation:" in
     mod_status output. The generation will be bumped at
     server graceful restart, when the child process exits
     by hitting MaxRequestsPerChild or if the child 
     process exits abnormally. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Win32: Fix problem where MaxRequestsPerChild directive was
     not being picked up in favor of the default. Enable
     the parent to start up a new child process immediately upon
     the old child starting shutdown.
     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Fix some bungling of the remote port in rfc1413.c so that 
     IdentityCheck retrieves the proper user id instead of failing
     and thus always returning "nobody."  
     [Dick Streefland <Dick.Streefland@xs4all.nl>]
