proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]
Changes with Apache 2.0a2
*) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other
than Win32
[Ryan Bloom]
*) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
users and groups. [David Reid]
*) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks
*) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
is called on BeOS. [David Reid]
*) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.
*) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl
locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work
*) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows
*) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the
interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
in 2.0.
[Tony Finch]
*) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses
now logged correctly on BeOS.
[David Reid]
*) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old
Makefile.nt
*) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command
shell path resolution.
*) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition
PR5866
*) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific
flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary
'\n'.

*) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common
ones to the example config [dirkx]
*) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call
configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
hampers fancier hacks.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
supports the asymetric
ErrorDocument 301 "Some message
Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
has either the following syntaxes
ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"
The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
is assumed to be a message.
This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is
done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added
as static modules at this point.
[Ryan Bloom]
Changes with Apache 2.0a1
*) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before
create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until
ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight
rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...

*) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
[Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]
*) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
APIs.
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
passed in and number of bytes written.
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file()
with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that
the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
[Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]
*) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus
some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to
chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
[Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]
*) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
*) SECURITY: More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security
problems with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite

or mod_vhost_alias).
[Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
*) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
[Manoj Kasichainula]
*) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error
message without any of the date and time information. As a part
of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct
stderr to the error log on all platforms.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's
don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid
message on all of our platforms.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now.
*) sendfile has been added to APR.
*) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno.
[Manoj Kasichainula]
*) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and
interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0

[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR
automatically for developers from src/Configure.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
[Martin Kraemer]
*) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]
*) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to
incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check

*) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and
allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding]
Changes with Apache MPM
*) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000.
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
[Bill Stoddard]

(per default used the config.option file).

*) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
[Ben Laurie]
*) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula]
*) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
amongst the unix MPMs.
*) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie]
*) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie]
*) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.
*) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
changes to the module API... better described by
docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
Changes with Apache pthreads
*) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
buff operations (generally over a network).
[Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]
*) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(),
stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]
*) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.

*) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to
request_rec. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't
needed in a threaded server.
*) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
[Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]
Changes with Apache 1.3.9
*) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding]
*) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
[Roy Fielding]
*) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
[Brian Havard]
*) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär]
*) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush]
*) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the
problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no
pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
now but deprecated. [dirkx]
*) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
files. [Roy Fielding]
*) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush]
*) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch]
*) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer]
*) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]
*) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
usual conventions for the installation procedure).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer]
Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]
*) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.
*) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx.
*) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure
name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735
*) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest.
*) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed
*) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled
properly in mod_access.
*) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts.
*) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com.
*) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from
Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information.
Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general
ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a
couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64()
function; hence renamed to ap_to64().
*) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal
with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query.
*) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform.
Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book"
we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]
Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]
*) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields
are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
"Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
at all). PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
*) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
*) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at
least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.
[Rasmus Lerdorf]
*) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets
are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue
is preserved.
*) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue"
and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to
discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection.
*) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]
*) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to
WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs.
Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up
Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/)
*) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the
error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32
behave more like Unix.
*) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614
*) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562
*) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with
"OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!"
[Brian Havard] PR#4505
*) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms.
*) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and
*) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc'
command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Fix apxs build issues on AIX

*) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the
vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
[Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4]
*) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart.
Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's
listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this
could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately.
All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in
the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by
MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
*) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in
the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up
parent/child process management code.
*) Added ceiling on file size for memory mapped files.
*) Fix ndbm.h include problems with brain-dead glibc >= 2.1 which
has ndbm.h in a non-standard db1/ subdir. PR#4431, PR#4528
*) Determine AP_BYTE_ORDER for ap_config_auto.h and already
use this at least for Expat. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Allow .module files to specify libraries with Lib:.
[Ben Laurie]
*) Allow SetEnvIf[NoCase] to test environment variables as well
as header fields and request attributes. [Ken Coar]
*) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file
content-types are "text/html;parameters". PR#4524 [Ken Coar]
*) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature
never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS
*) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the
results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski]
*) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically,
the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and
*void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf()
provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available,
'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski]
*) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the
size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters
(currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions
to the man page. [Ken Coar]
*) Fixed the configure --without-support option so it doesn't result in
an infinite loop. [Marc Slemko]
*) Piped error logs could cause a segfault if an error occured
during configuration after a restart.
*) If a "Location" field was stored in r->err_headers_out rather
than r->headers_out, redirect processing wouldn't find it and
the server would core dump on ap_escape_html(NULL). Check both
tables and raise HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR with a log message
if Location isn't set. [Doug MacEachern, Ken Coar]
*) Add RULE_EXPAT, the src/lib/ directory structure, and a modified copy
of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein]
*) Replace regexec() calls with calls to a new API stub function
ap_regexec(). This solves problems with DSO modules which use the regex
*) Add 'Request_Protocol' special keyword to mod_setenvif so that
environment variables can be set according to the protocol version
(e.g., HTTP/0.9 or HTTP/1.1) of the request. [Ken Coar]
*) Add DSO support for OpenStep (Mach 4.2) platform.
*) Fix sed regex for generating ap_config_auto.h in src/Configure.
*) Switch to /bin/sh5 in APACI on Ultrix and friends to avoid problems with
their brain-dead /bin/sh. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4372
*) Better DSO flags recognition on NetBSD platforms using ELF.
*) Always log months in english format for %t in mod_log_config.
*) Support for server-parsed and multiview-determined ReadmeName and
HeaderName files in mod_autoindex. Removed the restriction on
"/"s in ReadmeName and HeaderName directives since the *sub_req*
routines will deal with the access issues. (It's now possible to
have {site|group|project|customer|...} wide readmes and headers.)

*) It's OK for a semop to return EINTR, just loop around and try
again. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fix configuration engine re-entrant hangups, which solve a
handful of problems seen with mod_perl <Perl> configuration sections
*) Mac OS and Mac OS X Server now use the appropriate custom layout
by default when building with APACI; allow for platform-specific
variable defaults in configure. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Do setgid() before initgroups() in http_main; some platforms
zap the grouplist when setgid() is called. This was fixed in
suexec earlier, but the main httpd code missed the change.
*) Add recognition of .tgz as a gzipped tarchive.

*) OS/2: Add support for building loadable modules using DLLs.
[Brian Havard]
*) Add iconsdir, htdocsdir, and cgidir to config.layout.
[Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Fix minor but annoying bug with the test for Configuration.tmpl
being newer than Configuration so that it is less likely to fail
when using APACI and shadow sources. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) PORT: Add initial support for Mac OS (versions 10.0 and
greater). Use Mac OS X Server layout for now. Clean up dyld code
in unix/os.c, and don't install the dyld error handlers, which
are no longer needed in Mac OS. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Rename Rhapsody layout to "Mac OS X Server". Change install
locations to appropriate ones for user-built (as opposed to
system) installs. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Modify mod_autoindex's handling of AddDescription so that the
behaviour matches the documentation. [Ken Coar] PR#1898, 3072.
*) Add functionality to the install-bindist.sh script created by
binbuild.sh to use tar when copying distribution files to the
serverroot. This allows upgrading an existing installation
without nesting the new distribution in the old.
install-bindist.sh now detects the local perl5 path to install
apxs and dbmmanage with proper path to perl interpreter.
Add an install-binsupport target which copies the source files
for apxs and dbmmanage to bindist to allow these scripts to
be properly installed relative to the destination serverroot.
*) Fix intermittent SEGV in ap_proxy_cache_error() in
src/modules/proxy_util.c where a NULL filepointer and
temporary filename were closed and unlinked.

*) Fix inconsistent error messages reported by mod_proxy.
*) OS/2: Fix terminating CGIs that aren't compiled by EMX GCC when a
connection is aborted. [Brian Havard]
*) Force the LANG envariable to the known state of "C" so that we
have assurance about how string manipulators (e.g., tr) will
function. [Ken Coar] PR#1630
*) Add a directive to allow customising of the tracking cookie name.
[Ken Coar] PR#2921, 4303
*) Add "force-no-vary" envariable to allow servers to work around
clients that choke on "Vary" fields in the response header.
*) Fixed a bug in mod_dir that causes a child process will infinitely
recurse when it attemps to handle a request for a directory wnd the
value of the DirectoryIndex directive is a single dot. Also likely
to happen for anyother values of DirectoryIndex that will map back
to the same directory. The handler now only considers regular files
as being index candidates. No PR#s found.
*) Ease configuration debugging by making TestCompile fall back to
using "make" if the $MAKE variable is unset [Martin Kraemer]
*) Fixed the ServerSignature directive to work as documented.
*) Add "opt" (SysV-style) layout to config.layout. [Raymond S Brand
*) Add APACI --without-execstrip option which can be used to disable the
stripping of executables on installation. This is very important for DSO
and debugging situations. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add support for OS/2 (case insenstive filesystem, .exe suffix, etc)
to APACI files and related scripts.
[Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes <sthoenna efn.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4269
*) Add support for standalone mode in TPF
*) Fix number of bytes copied by read_connection() in src/support/ab.c
*) Fix special RewriteCond "-s" pattern matching.
*) Fix value quoting in src/Configure script for ap_config_auto.h
*) Make sure RewriteLock can be used only in the global context, (i.e.
outside of any <VirtualHost> sections) because it's a global facility of
the rewrite engine. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Fix the ownership delegation for proxy directory under `make install'.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) APACI would not correctly build suexec. [Maria Verina
*) mod_mime_magic passed only the first 4k of a file to
uncompress/gzip, but those tools sometimes do not produce
any output unless a sufficient portion of the compressed
file is input. Change to pass the entire file -- but
only read 4k of output.
*) "IndexOptions None" generated extra spaces at the end of each
*) The "100 Continue" response wasn't being sent after internal
*) When padding the name with spaces for display, mod_autoindex would
count &, <, and > in their escaped width, messing up the display.

than C. [Dean Gaudet] PR#3427
*) Fix a memory leak which is exacerbated by certain configurations.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#4225
*) Prevent clobbering saved IFS values in APACI. [Jim Jagielski]

by "Peter 'Luna' Altberg <peter altberg.nu>" and PR#3422
[Peter 'Luna' Altberg <peter altberg.nu>, Ronald Tschalär]
*) Make {Set,Unset,Pass}Env per-directory instead of per-server.
[Ben Laurie]
*) Correct an apparent typo: on the Windows and MPE platforms, the
htpasswd utility was limiting passwords to only 8 characters.
[Ken Coar]
*) EBCDIC platforms: David submitted patches for two bugs in the
MD5 digest port for EBCDIC machines:
a) the htdigest utility overwrote the old contents of the digest file
b) the Content-MD5 header value (ContentDigest directive) was wrong
when the returned file was not converted from EBCDIC, but was a
binary (e.g., image file) in the first place.

*) support/htpasswd now permits the password to be specified on the
command line with the '-b' switch. This is useful when passwords
need to be maintained by scripts -- particularly in the Win32
environment. [Ken Coar]
*) Win32: Win32 multiple services patch. Added capability to install and
run multiple copies of apache as individual services.
Example 1:
apache -n apache1 -i -f c:/httpd.conf
Installs apache as service 'apache1' and associates c:/httpd.conf
with that service.
net start apache1
Starts apache1 service.
net stop apache1
Stops apache1 service
Example 2:
apache -n apache2 -i
Installs apache as service 'apache2'. httpd.conf is located under
the default server root (/apache/conf/httpd.conf).
net start apache2
Starts apache2 service.
Example 3:
apache -n apache3 -i -d c:/program files/apache
Install apache as service 'apache3' and sets server root to
c:/program files/apache.
Example 4:
apache -n apache2 -k restart
Restart apache2 service
[Keith Wannamaker, Ken Parzygnat, Bill Stoddard]
*) Correct the signed/unsigned character handling for the MD5 routines;
mismatches were causing compilation problems with gcc -pedantic and
in the TPF cross-compilation. [Ken Coar]
*) OS/2: Rework CGI handling to use spawn*() instead of fork/exec, achieving
a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard]
*) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as
a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the
ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type.
This allows for special configurations like
<Directory proxy:ftp://some.host>
DefaultType gargle/blurb
</Directory>
Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies
when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive).
Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed
files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator).
The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not
much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do.
[Martin Kraemer]
*) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID
for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize
the permissions on the proxycachedir.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first
check wether it actually needs to collect garbage. This reduces
the number of fork()s from one/request to just the odd one an hour.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Added proxy, auth and header support to src/support/ab.c. Added a
README file to src/support/
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Don't hard-code the path to AWK in --shadow bootstrapping Makefile.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4050
*) Add support for DSO module compilation on BSD/OS 3.x.
[Randy Terbush, Covalent Technologies]
*) Fix sed-substitutions in `make install': path elements like `httpd/conf'
(for instance from an APACI configure --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf
option) were substituted with $(TARGET).conf, etc. Same for other strings
with dots where the dot wasn't matched as plain text.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) PORT: Add support for FreeBSD 4.x [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Fix verbose output of APACI configure (option -v)

Changes with Apache 1.3.6
*) Removed new PassAllEnv code due to DSO problems. [Lars Eilebrecht]
Changes with Apache 1.3.5 [not released]
*) M_INVALID needed a value within the scope of METHODS so that unknown
methods can be access controlled. [Roy Fielding] PR#3821
*) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available
to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar]
*) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of
8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced
incorrect results. Additionally ap_uuencode() should now
work correctly on EBCDIC platforms.
*) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before
the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system
DLL is new or updated). This should avoid the configuration
directory being empty after installation. [Paul Sutton]
PR#3767, 3800, 3827, 3850, 3900, 3953, 3988
*) WIN32: Binary installer now creates Start menu options to start
and stop Apache as a console application and to uninstall
the Apache service on NT. [Paul Sutton] PR#3741
*) WIN32: Apache.exe now contains an icon. [Paul Sutton]
*) PORT: Switch back to using fcntl() locking on Linux -- instabilities
have been reported with flock() locking (probably related to kernel
version). [Dean Gaudet] PR#2723, 3531
*) Using APACI, the main config file (usually httpd.conf) was
not being adjusted as $(TARGET).conf. [Wilfredo Sanchez
*) PORT: AIX does not require the SHARED_CODE "hack"
*) Set-Cookie headers were being doubled up for some CGIs by the O(n^2)
avoidance code added in 1.3.3.
*) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros
for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet]
*) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs
because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global
Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger
third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban <Peter.Urban epfl.ch>] PR#3977
*) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the
DSO/DLL section because it's a directive from mod_status and isn't
available before the DLL of mod_status is loaded.
*) SECURITY: Fix a bug in the calculation of the buffer size for the line
continuation facility in Apache's configuration files which could
lead to a buffer overflow situation.
*) Make documentation and error messages of APACI's --activate-module=FILE
*) Fix the gcc version check (for enabling the `inline' facility) to
really support all future gcc versions >= 2.7 until we know more.

*) Let APACI's configure script correctly complain for unknown --enable-XXX
and --disable-XXX options. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3958
*) Link the shared core bootstrap program (``Rule SHARED_CORE=yes'') also
against libap.a and use its ap_snprintf() instead of sprintf() to avoid
possible buffer overflows. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Remove no longer used non-API function ap_single_module_init().
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add Apple's Mac OS X Server Layout "Rhapsody" to config.layout.
[Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Add cgidir, htdocsdir, iconsdir variables to Makefile.tmpl in order
to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if
the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines
(ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now
correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted.
Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the
analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding]
*) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and
DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality.
Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well.
Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions
instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented
the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed.
The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps
are in use.
