*) Fix mod_cern_meta to not create empty metafiles when the
metafile searched for does not exist. PR 12353
*) Introduce debugging symbols for Win32 release builds, both .pdb
and .dbg files (older debuggers and Dr. Watson-type utilities
on WinNT or Win9x don't support the newer .pdb flavor.)
[Allen Edwards, William Rowe]
*) Fix bug where 'Satisfy Any' without an AuthType lost all MIME
information (and more). Related to PR 9076. [André Malo]

an incompatible pointer type to mmap_bucket_destroy(void*).

*) mod_rewrite: Allow "RewriteEngine Off" even if no "Options FollowSymlinks"
(or SymlinksIfOwnermatch) is set. PR 12395. [André Malo]
*) apxs: Include any special APR ld flags when linking the DSO.
This resolves problems on AIX when building a DSO with apxs+gcc.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Added character set support to mod_auth_LDAP to allow it to
convert extended characters used in the user ID to UTF-8
before authenticating against the LDAP directory. The new

[Brian Pane]
*) Reorder the definitions for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap within
config.m4 to make sure the parent mod_ldap is defined first.
This ensures that mod_ldap comes before mod_auth_ldap in the
httpd.conf file, which is necessary for mod_auth_ldap to load.

*) Rename CacheMaxStreamingBuffer to MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer. Move
implementation of MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer from mod_cache to
mod_mem_cache. MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer now defaults to the
lesser of 100,000 bytes or MCacheMaxCacheObjectSize. This should
eliminate the need for explicitly coding MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer
in most configurations. [Bill Stoddard]
*) mod_cache: Fix PR 15113, a core dump in cache_in_filter when
a redirect occurs. The code was passing a format string and
integer to apr_pstrcat. Changed to apr_psprintf.
[Paul J. Reder]
*) Replace APU_HAS_LDAPSSL_CLIENT_INIT with APU_HAS_LDAP_NETSCAPE_SSL
as set by apr-util in util_ldap.c. This should allow mod_ldap
to work with the Netscape/Mozilla LDAP library. [Øyvin Sømme

for negotated type-map "Body:" responses (such as the error
pages.) [André Malo <nd perlig.de>]
*) mod_log_config: Allow '%%' escaping in CustomLog format
strings to insert a literal, single '%'.
[André Malo <nd perlig.de>]
*) mod_autoindex: AddDescription directives for directories
now work as in Apache 1.3, where no trailing '/' is
specified on the directory name. Previously, the trailing
'/' *had* to be specified, which was incompatible with
Apache 1.3. PR 7990 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix for PR 14556. The expiry calculations in mod_cache were
trying to perform "now + ((date - lastmod) * factor)" where
date == lastmod resulting in "now + 0". The code now follows
the else path (using the default expiration) if date is

*) Move mod_ext_filter out of experimental and into filters.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fixed a memory leak in mod_deflate with dynamic content.
*) Add --[enable|disable]-v4-mapped configure option to control
whether or not Apache expects to handle IPv4 connections
on IPv6 listening sockets. Either setting will work on
systems with the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option. --enable-v4-mapped
must be used on systems that always allow IPv4 connections on
IPv6 listening sockets. PR 14037 (Bugzilla), PR 7492 (Gnats)
[Jeff Trawick]
*) This fixes a problem where the underlying cache code
indicated that there was one more element on the cache
than there actually was. This happened since element 0
exists but is not used. This code allocates the correct
number of useable elements and reports the number of
actually used elements. The previous code only allowed
MCacheMaxObjectCount-1 objects to be stored in the
cache. [Paul J. Reder]
*) mod_setenvif: Add SERVER_ADDR special keyword to allow
envariable setting according to the server IP address
which received the request. [Ken Coar]
*) mod_cgid: Terminate CGI scripts when the client connection
drops. PR 8388 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Rearrange OpenSSL engine initialization to support RAND
redirection on crypto accelerator.
*) Always emit Vary header if mod_deflate is involved in the
request. [André Malo <nd perlig.de>]
*) mod_isapi: Stop unsetting the 'empty' query string result with
a NULL argument in ecb->lpszQueryString, eliminating segfaults
for some ISAPI modules. PR 14399
*) mod_isapi: Fix an issue where the HSE_REQ_DONE_WITH_SESSION
notification is received before the HttpExtensionProc() returns
HSE_STATUS_PENDING. This only affected isapi .dll's configured
with the ISAPIFakeAsync on directive. PR 11918
*) mod_isapi: Fix the issue where all results from mod_isapi would
run through the core die handler resulting in invalid responses
or access log entries. PR 10216 [William Rowe]
*) Improves the user friendliness of the CacheRoot processing
over my last pass. This version avoids the pool allocations
but doesn't avoid all of the runtime checks. It no longer
terminates during post-config processing. An error is logged
once per worker, indicating that the CacheRoot needs to be set.
[Paul J. Reder]
*) Fix a bug where we keep files open until the end of a
keepalive connection, which can result in:
(24)Too many open files: file permissions deny server access
especially on threaded servers. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a bug in which mod_proxy sent an invalid Content-Length
when a proxied URL was invoked as a server-side include within
a page generated in response to a form POST. [Brian Pane]
*) Added code to process min and max file size directives and to
init the expirychk flag in mod_disk_cache. Added a clarifying
comment to cache_util. [Paul J. Reder]

works. PR 8482 [Jeff Trawick]
*) More accurate logging of bytes sent in mod_logio when
the client terminates the connection before the response
*) Fix some problems in the perchild MPM.
*) Change the CacheRoot processing to check for a required
value at config time. This saves a lot of wasted processing
if the mod_disk_cache module is loaded but no CacheRoot
was provided. This fix also adds code to log an error
and avoid useless pallocs and procesing when the computed
cache file name cannot be opened. This also updates the
docs accordingly. [Paul J. Reder]

shares to disable sendfile mechanics when they either fail
outright or provide intermitantly corrupted data. PR

that is not a socket. : winnt_accept: AcceptEx failed.

control on how mod_proxy should handle bogus HTTP headers from

desired. [Jim Jagielski]
