     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]

  *) Accept URLs for the ServerAdmin directive. If the supplied
     argument is not recognized as an URL, assume it's a mail address.
     PR 28174.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite no longer confuses the RewriteMap caches if
     different maps defined in different virtual hosts use the
     same map name. PR 26462.  [André Malo]

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

  *) Fix a bunch of cases where the return code of the regex compiler
     was not checked properly. This affects: mod_setenvif, mod_usertrack,
     mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ftp and core. PR 28218.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_usertrack: Escape the cookie name before pasting into the
     regexp.  [André Malo]

  *) Enable special ErrorDocument value 'default' which restores the
     canned server response for the scope of the directive.
     [Geoffrey Young]

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

  *) Allow RequestHeader directives to be conditional. PR 27951.
     [Vincent Deffontaines <vincent gryzor.com>, André Malo]

  *) Fix segfault in mod_expires, which occured under certain
     circumstances. PR 28047.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_logio no longer removes the EOS bucket. PR 27928.
     [Bojan Smojver <bojan rexursive.com>]

  *) mod_rewrite no longer turns forward proxy requests into reverse proxy
     requests. PR 28125  [ast domdv.de, André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite now officially supports RewriteRules in <Proxy> sections.
     PR 27985.  [André Malo]

  *) 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]

  *) work around MSIE Digest auth bug - if AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack
     is set in r->subprocess_env allow mismatched query strings to pass.
     PR 27758.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>, Geoffrey Young]

  *) mod_dav: Fix a problem that could cause crashes when manipulating 
     locks on some platforms.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Satisfy directives now can be influenced by a surrounding <Limit>
     container.  PR 14726.  [André Malo]

     [Guenter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>, Thom May]

     "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]
  *) mod_rewrite: Support for recognizing SSL variables in RewriteCond
     using the new "SSL:" format.  [Joe Orton, Madhusudan Mathihalli]

  *) mod_setenvif: Remove "support" for Remote_User variable which
     never worked at all. PR 25725.  [André Malo]

  *) 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]

  *) mod_isapi: GetServerVariable returned improperly terminated header 
     fields given "ALL_HTTP" or "ALL_RAW".  PR 20656.
     [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

  *) mod_isapi: send_response_header() failed to copy status string's 
     last character.  PR 20619.  [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

     size.  PR 20617.  [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

     the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
     [Apache Software Foundation]

  *) FreeBSD: Use the httpready accept filter instead of dataready on
     newer levels of the OS.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

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

  *) Unix MPMs: Stop dropping connections when the file descriptor
     is at least FD_SETSIZE.  [Jeff Trawick]

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

  *) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
     as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
     rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
     mode. PR 25635.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
     the [handler=...] flag.  [André Malo]

     the Request-URI.  PR 21779.  [Amit Athavale <amit_athavale lycos.com>]
  *) mod_proxy with ProxyErrorOverride On in a reverse-proxy configuration attaches
     a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header. 
     PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]

  *) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
     header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
     redirects.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>' 
     in the initial container.  PR 25414. 
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

     directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.

  *) mod_ssl/mod_status: Re-enable support for output of SSL session
     cache information in server-status page.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Remove the shmht session cache, shmcb should be used

  *) Log an error when requests for URIs which fail to map to a valid 
     filesystem name are rejected with 403.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Switch to APR 1.0 API.

  *) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
     is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases

     that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
     incompatible change of mod_include's external API.  [André Malo]
  *) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
     PR 14223.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
     the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to

     not specified.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.
