Changes with Apache 2.3.9

  *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
     additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
     error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
     lines and the corresponding access log entry.

  *) core: Disable sendfile by default. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
     to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
     no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
     behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
     of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
     when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cgid: Log a warning if the ScriptSock path is truncated because
     it is too long. PR 49388.  [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) vhosts: Do not allow _default_ in NameVirtualHost, or mixing *
     and non-* ports on NameVirtualHost, or multiple NameVirtualHost
     directives for the same address:port, or NameVirtualHost
     directives with no matching VirtualHosts, or multiple ip-based
     VirtualHost sections for the same address:port.  These were
     previously accepted with a warning, but the behavior was
     undefined.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_remoteip: Fix a segfault when using mod_remoteip in conjunction with
     Allow/Deny. PR 49838.  [Andrew Skalski <voltara gmail.com>]

  *) core: DirectoryMatch can now match on the end of line character ($),
     and sub-directories of matched directories are no longer implicitly
     matched.  PR49809 [Eric Covener]
Changes with Apache 2.3.8

  *) suexec: Support large log files. PR 45856. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Abort with sensible error message if no or more than one MPM is
     loaded. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Rename erroronstatus to failonstatus.
     [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]
  *) mod_dav_fs: Fix broken "creationdate" property.
     Regression in version 2.3.7. [Rainer Jung]

Changes with Apache 2.3.7

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-1452 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_dav, mod_cache, mod_session: Fix Handling of requests without a path 
     segment. PR: 49246 [Mark Drayton, Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ldap: Properly check the result returned by apr_ldap_init. PR 46076.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_rewrite: Log errors if rewrite map files cannot be opened. PR 49639.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Support the 'ping' property for backend HTTP/1.1 servers
     via leveraging 100-Continue as the initial "request".
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) core/mod_authz_core: Introduce new access_checker_ex hook that enables
     mod_authz_core to bypass authentication if access should be allowed by
     IP address/env var/... [Stefan Fritsch]
 
  *) core: Introduce note_auth_failure hook to allow modules to add support
     for additional auth types. This makes ap_note_auth_failure() work with
     mod_auth_digest again. PR 48807. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) socache modules: return APR_NOTFOUND when a lookup is not found [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_authn_cache: new module [Nick Kew]

  *) configure: Add reallyall option for --enable-mods-shared. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Fix Windows build when using VC6. [Gregg L. Smith <lists glewis com>]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow to set environment variables without explicitly
     giving a value. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_rewrite: Remove superfluous EOL from rewrite logging. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_include: recognise "text/html; parameters" as text/html
     PR 49616 [Andrey Chernov <ache nagual.pp.ru>]

  *) CGI vars: allow PATH to be set by SetEnv, consistent with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     PR 43906 [Nick Kew]

  *) Core: Extra robustness: don't try authz and segfault if authn
     fails to set r->user.  Log bug and return 500 instead.
     PR 42995 [Nick Kew]

  *) HTTP protocol filter: fix handling of longer chunk extensions
     PR 49474 [<tee.bee gmx.de>]

  *) Update SSL cipher suite and add example for SSLHonorCipherOrder.
     [Lars Eilebrecht, Rainer Jung]

  *) move AddOutputFilterByType from core to mod_filter.  This should
     fix nasty side-effects that happen when content_type is set
     more than once in processing a request, and make it fully
     compatible with dynamic and proxied contents. [Nick Kew]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
     attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
     the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
     and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
     [Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
     by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
     keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
     configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
     access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.
     [Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem, Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0408 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_proxy_ajp: Respond with HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the body is not sent
     when request headers indicate a request body is incoming; not a case of
     HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.  [Niku Toivola <niku.toivola sulake.com>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0425 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_isapi: Do not unload an isapi .dll module until the request
     processing is completed, avoiding orphaned callback pointers.
     [Brett Gervasoni <brettg senseofsecurity.com>, Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Filter init functions are now run strictly once per request
     before handler invocation.  The init functions are no longer run
     for connection filters.  PR 49328.  [Joe Orton]

  *) core: Adjust the output filter chain correctly in an internal
     redirect from a subrequest, preserving filters from the main
     request as necessary.  PR 17629.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial
     Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206
     was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or
     Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Add microsecond timestamp fractions, process id and thread id
     to the error log. [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: The "most" module set gets build by default.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: Building dynamic modules (DSO) by default.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: Fix broken VPATH build when using included APR.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_session_crypto: Fix configure problem when building
     with APR 2 and for VPATH builds with included APR.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_session_crypto: API compatibility with APR 2 crypto and
     APR Util 1.x crypto. [Rainer Jung]

  *) ab: Fix memory leak with -v2 and SSL. PR 49383.
     [Pavel Kankovsky <peak argo troja mff cuni cz>]

  *) core: Add per-module and per-directory loglevel configuration.
           Add some more trace logging.
     mod_rewrite: Replace RewriteLog/RewriteLogLevel with trace log levels.
     mod_ssl: Replace LogLevelDebugDump with trace log levels.
     mod_ssl/mod_proxy*: Adjust loglevels to be less verbose at levels info
           and debug.
     mod_dumpio:  Replace DumpIOLogLevel with trace log levels.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ldap: LDAP caching was suppressed (and ldap-status handler returns 
     title page only) when any mod_ldap directives were used in VirtualHost 
  *) mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is
     a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response
     from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_deflate: avoid the risk of forwarding data before headers are set.
     PR 49369 [Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Ensure nested groups are checked when the 
     top-level group doesn't have any direct non-group members
     of attributes in AuthLDAPGroupAttribute. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Search or Comparison during authorization phase
