  *) 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]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Publish requested LDAP data with an AUTHORIZE_ prefix
     when this module is used for authorization. See AuthLDAPAuthorizePrefix.
     PR 45584 [Eric Covener]

  *) apxs -q: Stop filtering out ':' characters from the reported values.
     PR 45343.  [Bill Cole]

  *) prefork MPM: Run cleanups for final request when process exits gracefully.
     PR 43857.  [Tom Donovan]

  *) ab: fix number of requests sent by ab when keepalive is enabled.  PR 48497.
     [Bryn Dole <dole blekko.com>]

  *) Log an error for failures to read a chunk-size, and return 408 instead of
     413 when this is due to a read timeout.  This change also fixes some cases 
     of two error documents being sent in the response for the same scenario. 
     [Eric Covener] PR49167

  *) mod_proxy_balancer: Add new directive BalancerNonce to allow admin
     to control/set the nonce used in the balancer-manager application.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy_connect: Support port ranges in AllowConnect. PR 23673.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Proxy balancer: support setting error status according to HTTP response
     code from a backend.  PR 48939.  [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]
  *) htcacheclean: Introduce the ability to clean specific URLs from the
     cache, if provided as an optional parameter on the command line.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Introduce the IncludeStrict directive, which explicitly fails
     server startup if no files or directories match a wildcard path.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) htcacheclean: Report additional statistics about entries deleted.
     PR 48944. [Mark Drayton mark markdrayton.info]

  *) Introduce SSLFIPS directive to support OpenSSL FIPS_mode; permits all
     builds of mod_ssl to use 'SSLFIPS off' for portability, but the proper
     build of openssl is required for 'SSLFIPS on'.  PR 46270.
     [Dr Stephen Henson <steve openssl.org>, William Rowe]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Log the port of the remote server in various messages.
     PR 48812. [Igor Galić <i galic brainsware org>] 

  *) mod_reqtimeout: Do not wrongly enforce timeouts for mod_proxy's backend
     connections and other protocol handlers (like mod_ftp). [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Really regard the operation a success, when the client
     aborted the connection. In addition adjust the log message if the client
     aborted the connection. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_ssl: Add the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive, which
     allows insecure renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the secure renegotiation protocol.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix a potential I/O hang if a long list of trusted CAs
     is configured for client cert auth. PR 46952.  [Joe Orton]

  *) core: Only log a 408 if it is no keepalive timeout. PR 39785
     [Ruediger Pluem,  Mark Montague <markmont umich.edu>]

  *) support/rotatelogs: Add -L option to create a link to the current
     log file.  PR 48761 [<lyndon orthanc.ca>, Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_ldap: Update LDAPTrustedClientCert to consistently be a per-directory
     setting only, matching most of the documentation and examples. 
     PR 46541 [Paul Reder, Eric Covener] 

  *) mod_ldap: LDAPTrustedClientCert now accepts CA_DER/CA_BASE64 argument 
     types previously allowed only in LDAPTrustedGlobalCert. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_negotiation: Preserve query string over multiviews negotiation.
     This buglet was fixed for type maps in 2.2.6, but the same issue
     affected multiviews and was overlooked.
     PR 33112 [Joergen Thomsen <apache jth.net>]

  *) mod_ldap: Eliminate a potential crash with multiple LDAPTrustedClientCert
     when some are not password-protected. [Eric Covener]

  *) Fix startup segfault when the Mutex directive is used but no loaded 
     modules use httpd mutexes.  PR 48787.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Proxy: get the headers right in a HEAD request with
     ProxyErrorOverride, by checking for an overridden error
     before not after going into a catch-all code path.
     PR 41646.  [Nick Kew, Stuart Children]
  *) support/rotatelogs: Support the simplest log rotation case, log
     truncation. Useful when the log is being processed in real time
     using a command like tail. [Graham Leggett]

  *) support/htcacheclean: Teach it how to write a pid file (modelled on
     httpd's writing of a pid file) so that it becomes possible to run
     more than one instance of htcacheclean on the same machine.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Log command line on startup, so there's a record of command line
     arguments like -f.  PR 48752.  [Dan Poirier]
  *) Introduce mod_reflector, a handler capable of reflecting POSTed
     request bodies back within the response through the output filter
     stack. Can be used to turn an output filter into a web service.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Make sure that when an ErrorDocument is served
     from a reverse proxied URL, that the subrequest respects the status
     of the original request. This brings the behaviour of proxy_handler
     in line with default_handler. PR 47106. [Graham Leggett]

  *) Support wildcards in both the directory and file components of
     the path specified by the Include directive. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http: Support remote https proxies
     by using HTTP CONNECT.  PR 19188.  
     [Philippe Dutrueux <lilas evidian.com>, Rainer Jung]

Changes with Apache 2.3.6

  *) worker: Don't report server has reached MaxClients until it has.
     Add message when server gets within MinSpareThreads of MaxClients.
     PR 46996.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_session: Session expiry was being initialised, but not updated
     on each session save, resulting in timed out sessions when there
     should not have been. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_log_config: Add the R option to log the handler used within the
     request. [Christian Folini <christian.folini netnea com>]

  *) mod_include: Allow fine control over the removal of Last-Modified and
     ETag headers within the INCLUDES filter, making it possible to cache
     responses if desired. Fix the default value of the SSIAccessEnable
     directive.  [Graham Leggett]
  *) Add new UnDefine directive to undefine a variable. PR 35350.
     [Stefan Fritsch]
  *) Make ap_pregsub(), used by AliasMatch and friends, use the same syntax
     for regex backreferences as mod_rewrite and mod_include: Remove the use
     of '&' as an alias for '$0' and allow to escape any character with a
     backslash. PR 48351. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: If AuthLDAPCharsetConfig is set, also convert the
     password to UTF-8. PR 45318.
     [Johannes Müller <joh_m gmx.de>, Stefan Fritsch]

  *) ab: Fix calculation of requests per second in HTML output. PR 48594.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Failures to map a username to a DN, or to check a user
     password now result in an informational level log entry instead of 
     warning level.  [Eric Covener]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0434 (cve.mitre.org)
     Ensure each subrequest has a shallow copy of headers_in so that the

     parent request headers are not corrupted.  Eliminates a problematic
     optimization in the case of no request body.  PR 48359 
     [Jake Scott, William Rowe, Ruediger Pluem]
  *) Turn static function get_server_name_for_url() into public
     ap_get_server_name_for_url() and use it where appropriate. This
     fixes mod_rewrite generating invalid URLs for redirects to IPv6
