  *) Fix an ab problem which could cause a divide-by-zero exception
     with certain invocations (e.g., ab -k -c 6 -n 100 localhost/).

  *) Solve case-insensitive platforms' confusion about negotiated
     filenames, allowing files of differnt case to match in choosing
     the document to serve.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix brokenness when ThreadsPerChild is higher than the built-in
     limit.  We left ap_threads_per_child at the higher value which
     led to segfaults when doing certain scoreboard operations.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix seg faults and/or missing output from mod_include.  The
     default_handler was using the subrequest pool for files and
     MMAPs, even though the associated APR structures typically 
     live longer than the subrequest. [Greg Ames]
  
  *) Extend mod_setenvif to support specifying regular expressions
     on the SetEnvIf (and SetEnvIfNoCase) directive attribute field.
     Example:  SetEnvIf ^TS*  [a-z].* HAVE_TS 
     will cause HAVE_TS to be set if any of the request headers begins 
     with "TS" and has a value that begins with any character in the
     set [a-z]. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) httpd children now re-bind themselves to a random CPU on
     multiprocessor systems on AIX via bindprocessor() in 2.0.

     a second user. [Bill Stoddard]

     DSOs now work again on AIX in 2.0
     [Victor J. Orlikowski]
  *) Add a new request hook, error_log.  This phase allows modules
     to act on the error log string _after_ it has been written
     to the error log.  The goal for this hook is to allow monitoring
     modules to send the error string to the monitoring agent.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Modify mod_echo to make it use filters for input and output.
     [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]

  *) Extend mod_headers to support conditional driven Header 
     add, append and set. Use SetEnvIf to set an envar and conditionally
     add/append/set headers based on this envar thusly:

     SetEnvIf TSMyHeader value HAVE_TSMyHeader
     Header add MyHeader "%t %D" env=HAVE_TSMyHeader

     If the request contains header "TSMyHeader: value" then header
     MyHeader: "t=xxxxxxxxxx D=yyyy" will be sent on the response.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Extend mod_headers to support using format specifiers on Header
     add, append and set header values. Two format specifiers are supported:

     %t - reports, in UTC microseconds since the epoch, when the
          request was received.

     %D - reports the time, in microseconds, between when the request was 
          received and the response sent. 

     Examples:
     Header add MyHeader "This request served in %D microseconds. %t"

     results in a header being added to the response that looks like this:
     
     MyHeader: This request served in D=5438 microseconds. t=991424704447256

     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Fix reset_filter().  We need to be careful how we remove filters.
     If we set r->output_filters to NULL, we also have to reset the
     connection's filters.  [John Sterling]

  *) Optimise reset_filter() in http_protocol.c. [Greg Stein]

  *) Add a check to ap_die() to make sure the filter stack is sane and
     contains the correct basic filters when an error occurs. This fixes
     a problem where headers are not being sent on error. [John Sterling]

  *) New Header directive 'echo' option. "Header echo regex" will
     cause any headers received on the request that match regex to be
     echoed to (included in) the response headers.
     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) include/ap_compat.h tested and set APR_COMPAT_H instead of AP_COMPAT_H.
     This prevented the inclusion of apr_compat.h.  PR #7773
     [Oleg Broytmann <phd@phd.pp.ru>]

  *) Moved util_uri to the apr-util library.  This required a bunch of
     apr_name changes for the uri utility functions.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Move the addition of default AP_HTTP_HTTP_HEADER filters to the
     insert_filter phase so that other filters are not bypassed by default.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Reimplement mod_headers as an output filter. mod_headers can now
     add custom headers to inbound requests using the RequestHeader directive
     and to responses using the same old Header directive.  [Graham Leggett]

Changes with Apache 2.0.18
  *) Fix command-line processing so that if a bad argument is specified
     Apache will exit.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Change the make targets and rules to be consistent in all of the
     Apache-owned source trees.  [Roy Fielding]
     
  *) Fix processing of the TRACE method.  Previously we passed bogus
     parms to form_header_field() and it overlaid some vhost structures,
     resulting in a segfault in check_hostalias(). 
     [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Win32: Add support for reliable piped logs. If the logging process
     goes down, Apache will automatically restart it. This function has 
     been part of Apache on Unix/Linux/BSD since the early v1.3 releases.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Do not start piped log processes during the config file 
     preflight.  This change also circumvents a problem on 
     Windows where the rotatelog processes created during preflight
     was not getting cleaned up properly.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) add "Request Phase Participation" info to mod_info

  *) Make first phase changes to the scoreboard data structures in
     preparation for the rewriting of the scoreboard per my posted
     design notes. [Paul J. Reder]

  *) Fix httpd's definition of LTFLAGS to be consistent with that of apr
     and apr-util, allow it to be overridden by the configure command-line
     (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS to replace what we were
     formerly abusing as LTFLAGS.  [Roy Fielding]
  *) Clean up the reporting of incorrect closing container tags.
     [Barrie Slaymaker <barries@slaysys.com>]

  *) Simplify the configure process by moving all libtool stuff to APR
     and moving hints.m4 inline.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Add the AP_DECLARE()/AP_CORE_DECLARE macros on the return types
     of functions used by mod_proxy for export in the DLL 
     [Ian Holsman <IanH@cnet.com>]

  *) Prevent a hang when a cgi handled by mod_cgid tries to read a
     request body from its stdin but no reqest body is being written to 
     the cgi.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_log_config: %c connection status incorrectly logged
     as "-" (non-keepalive) when MaxKeepAliveRequests is set to 0.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Get mod_cern_meta working under Windows

  *) Create Files, and thus MMAPs, out of the request pool, not the
     connection pool.  This solves a small resource leak that had us
     not closing files until a connection was closed.  In order to do
     this, at the end of the core_output_filter, we loop through the
     brigade and convert any data we have into a single HEAP bucket
     that we know will survive clearing the request_rec.
     [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@ebuilt.com>,
      Cliff Woolley]

  *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
     variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
     the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables.  Also, allow the user
     to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
     need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM.  Fix the setting
     of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES.  Check flags as they are added to
     avoid pointless duplications.  Fix the order in which flags are given
     on the compile and link lines.  Remove obsolete macros APR_DOEXTRA,
     AC_ADD_LIBRARY, AC_CHECK_DEFINE, APACHE_PASSTHRU, and APACHE_ONCE.
     Added APR_SAVE_THE_ENVIRONMENT and APR_RESTORE_THE_ENVIRONMENT macros.
     Renamed AC_TYPE_RLIM_T macro to APACHE_TYPE_RLIM_T.  [Roy Fielding]
  *) Get mod_tls to compile/work better on Windows.  PR #7612

  *) Removed the keptalive boolean from conn_rec because it is now only
     used by a single routine and can be replaced by a local variable.
     [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom, Roy Fielding]
