  *) mod_rewrite: Handle per-location rules when r->filename is unset.
     Previously this would segfault or simply not match as expected,
     depending on the platform.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Unix MPMs: Shut down the server more quickly when child processes are
     slow to exit.  [Joe Orton, Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_info: Added listing of the Request Hooks and added more build 
     information like 'httpd -V' contains. Changed output to XHTML. 
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_info: Rewrote config tree walk using a recursive function.
     Added ?config option. Added printout of config filename and line numbers.
     [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>, Paul Querna]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix type error that prevents proxy-sendchunks from working.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix data corruption by properly setting aside buckets.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_proxy: If a request has a blank body and has a 0 Content-Length
     headers, pass that to the proxy.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix query string handling for proxied URLs. PR 14518.
     [michael teitler <michael.teitler cetelem.fr>,

  *) Recognize QSA flag in mod_rewrite again.
     [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>]

  *) mod_ssl: Add SSL_CLIENT_V_REMAIN variable, representing the
     number of days until the client cert expires.  [Joe Orton]

  *) Add test_config hook, run only if httpd is invoked using -t.
     [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]

  *) Remove LDAP toolkit specific code from util_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Remove deprecated/removed APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS().  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) perchild MPM: Fix thread safety problem in the use of longjmp().
     [Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO <nazonazo super.win.ne.jp>]

  *) Add load balancer support to the scoreboard in preparation for
     load balancing support in mod_proxy. [Mladen Turk]

  *) mod_nw_ssl: Added the directive NWSSLUpgradeable to mod_nw_ssl to 
     allow a non-secure connection to be upgraded to secure connections
     [Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) core: Add Options= syntax to AllowOverride to specify which options
     may be overridden in .htaccess files. PR 29310.
     [Tom Alsberg <alsbergt cs.huji.ac.il>, Paul Querna]

  *) ab: Handle long URLs with an error instead of an buffer overflow.
     PR 28204. [Erik Weide <erik.weidel mplus-technologies.de>, Paul Querna]

Paul Querna committed
  *) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded
     modules. '-t -D DUMP_MODULES' and '-M' will show all static 
     and shared modules as loaded from the configuration file.
     [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
     that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403. 
     PR 10575.  [Paul Querna]

  *) mod_headers: implement "Early" processing option in post_read_request
     to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
     testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
     ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
     Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
     [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
     Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
     ('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length 
     e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]

  *) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
     file name. PR 29003.  [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]

  *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
     OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
     than the client's.  PR 28665.
     [Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
  *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
     SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
     even when Accept-Encoding is not present.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
     them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3.  PR 28815
     [Ken Coar, Jeff Trawick]
  *) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
     bytes.  [André Malo]

  *) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
     assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
     the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
     ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
     and ap_process_resource_config.  [André Malo]
  *) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow env clauses also for 'echo' and 'unset' actions.
     [André Malo]

Ian Holsman committed
  *) mod_deflate: New option for DEFLATE output file (force-gzip),
     new output filter 'INFLATE' for uncompressing responses.
     [Nick Kew <Nick at WebThing dot com>, Ian Holsman]

  *) Added new module mod_version, which provides version dependent
     configuration containers.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_log_config now logs all Set-Cookie headers if the %{Set-Cookie}o
     format is used.  PR 27787.  [André Malo]

  *) Allow Digest providers to return AUTH_DENIED to propagate a 401
     status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) mod_cgid: Don't allow Scriptsock to be specified inside VirtualHost;
     Don't place script socket inside default server root instead of
     actual server root.  PR 27886.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
     "ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured.  PR 20183.
     [Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]

  *) 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
     now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
     and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
     AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
     the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
     [Apache Software Foundation]

  *) Delete some make-generated files in the server directory during 
     "make clean" processing.  PR 26552.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
     accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
