     API for the setting of server and client SSL certificates. Replaced
     LDAPTrustedCA directive with LDAPTrustedGlobalCert and
     LDAPTrustedClientCert directives to correctly support global certs
     (CA certs / Netware client certs) and per connection client certs
     as supported by Netware, OpenLDAP and Netscape/Mozilla.

     for the proxy BalancerMember weighting. loadfactors (lbfactors)
     are now normalized with respect to each other. [Jim Jagielski]

     and cache size directives that are now available through htcacheclean.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add htcacheclean to support/ for assistance with mod_disk_cache.
     [Andreas Steinmetz]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-filter" that
     allows the module to authorize a user based on a complex LDAP
  *) mod_usertrack: Run the fixups hook before other modules.
  *) Allow mod_authnz_ldap authorization functionality to be used 
     without requiring the user to also be authenticated through 
     mod_authnz_ldap. This allows other authentication modules to 
     take advantage of LDAP authorization only [PR 28253]
     [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) Log the client IP address when an error occurs disabling nagle on a
     connection, but log at a severity of debug since this error 
     generally means that the connection was dropped before data was
     sent.  Log the client IP address when reporting errors in the core
     output filter.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Add a warning message if the request line read fails.
     [Paul Querna]

     core LimitInternalRecursion directive.  [André Malo]

     information like 'httpd -V' contains. Changed output to XHTML.

     [Jan Kratochvil <rcpt-dev.AT.httpd.apache.org jankratochvil.net>]

  *) Restructured mod_auth_ldap to fit the new authentication model.
     The module is now called authnz_ldap and has been moved out of
     the modules/experimental area and into modules/aaa with the other
     auth modules.  Both the authn_ldap provider and the authz_ldap
     handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module.  The 
     authz_ldap handler introduces 3 new "requires" values for handling
     authorization.  These handlers are ldap-user, ldap-group and 
     ldap-dn. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fix some compiler warnings in proxy
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]

     [Joe Orton]

  *) Improve error handling for corrupted pid files.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy.c and proxy_util.c: Enable compiling on 2.0-HEAD 
     (for backwards compatibility):
     Avoids mod_ssl.h (not included in 2.0-HEAD) and
     use apr_socket_create_ex for 0.9.x 
     [Mladen Turk]

  *) Added proxy_ajp.c module for proxy support to ajp:// backends.
     [Jean Frederic Clere]

  *) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
     as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there
     is a LNK2001 error when building proxy_http. [Mladen Turk]

  *) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize 
     directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread 
     stack size for threads which handle client connections.  Required 
     for some third-party modules on platforms with small default 
     thread stack size.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync.  mod_auth_basic
