  *) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded

     cache entries in the credentials cache due to race conditions.
     [Brad Nicholes]

  *) mod_headers: implement "Early" processing option in post_read_request
     to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
     testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_dir: the trailing-slash behaviour is now configurable using the
     DirectorySlash directive.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
     ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
     Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
     [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_log_config: Fix a bug which prevented request completion time
     from being logged for I_INSIST_ON_EXTRA_CYCLES_FOR_CLF_COMPLIANCE
     processing.  PR 29696.  [Alois Treindl <alois astro.ch>]

  *) Add -l option to rotatelogs to let it use local time rather than
     UTC.  PR 24417.  [Ken Coar, Uli Zappe <uli ritual.org>]

  *) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
     Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
     ('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length 
     e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]

     file name. PR 29003.  [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]

  *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLUserName" directive to set r->user based on a
     chosen SSL environment variable.  PR 20957. 
     [Martin v. Loewis <martin v.loewis.de>]

  *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
     OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
     than the client's.  PR 28665.
     [Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
  *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
     SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
     even when Accept-Encoding is not present.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
     them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3.  PR 28815
     [Ken Coar, Jeff Trawick]
  *) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
     bytes.  [André Malo]

  *) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
     assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Prevent Win32 pool corruption at startup [Allan Edwards]

  *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
     the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
     ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
     and ap_process_resource_config.  [André Malo]
  *) Include directives no longer refuse to process symlinks on
     directories. Instead there's now a maximum nesting level
     of included directories (128 as distributed). This is configurable
     at compile time using the -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DIR_DEPTH switch.
     PR 28492.  [André Malo]

  *) Recursive Include directives no longer crash. The server stops
     including configuration files after a certain nesting level (128
     as distributed). This is configurable at compile time using the
     -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DEPTH switch. PR 28370.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_headers: Allow env clauses also for 'echo' and 'unset' actions.

Ian Holsman committed
  *) mod_deflate: New option for DEFLATE output file (force-gzip),
     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]

  *) 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]

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

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

  *) 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]

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

  *) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
     "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]

  *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
     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]

  *) 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
