*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2PushResource' to enable early pushes before
processing of the main request starts. Resources are announced to the
client in Link headers on a 103 early hint response.
All responses with status code <400 are inspected for Link header and
trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes.
'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher
priority than the main resource. This leads to preferred scheduling for
processing and, when content is available, will send it first. 'critical'
is also recognized on Link headers. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: uris in Link headers are now mapped back to a suitable
local url when available. Relative uris with an absolute path are mapped

*) mod_http2: fixed possible read after free when streams were cancelled early
by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed possible deadlock during connection shutdown. Thanks to
@FrankStolle for reporting and getting the necessary data.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed apr_uint64_t formatting in a log statement to user proper
APR def, thanks to @Sp1l.
*) mod_http2: number of worker threads allowed to a connection is adjusting
dynamically. Starting with 4, the number is doubled when streams can be
served without block on http/2 connection flow. The number is halfed, when
the server has to wait on client flow control grants.
This can happen with a maximum frequency of 5 times per second.
When a connection occupies too many workers, repeatable requests
(GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) are cancelled and placed back in the queue. Should that
not suffice and a stream is busy longer than the server timeout, the
connection will be aborted with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM.
This does *not* limit the number of streams a client may open, rather the
number of server threads a connection might use.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: allowing link header to specify multiple "rel" values,
space-separated inside a quoted string. Prohibiting push when Link
parameter "nopush" is present.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: reworked connection state handling. Idle connections accept a
GOAWAY from the client without further reply. Otherwise the
module makes a best effort to send one last GOAWAY to the client.
*) mod_http2: the values from standard directives Timeout and KeepAliveTimeout
properly are applied to http/2 connections.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: idle connections are returned to async mpms. new hook
"pre_close_connection" used to send GOAWAY frame when not already done.
Setting event mpm server config "by hand" for the main connection to
the correct negotiated server.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: keep-alive blocking reads are done with 1 second timeouts to
check for MPM stopping. Will announce early GOAWAY and finish processing
open streams, then close.

[Edward Lu]
*) mod_http2: connections how keep a "push diary" where hashes of already
pushed resources are kept. See directive H2PushDiarySize for managing this.
Push diaries can be initialized by clients via the "Cache-Digest" request
header. This carries a base64url encoded. compressed Golomb set as described
in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kazuho-h2-cache-digest/
Introduced a status handler for HTTP/2 connections, giving various counters
and statistics about the current connection, plus its cache digest value
in a JSON record. Not a replacement for more HTTP/2 in the server status.
Configured as
<Location "/http2-status">
SetHandler http2-status
</Location>
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: Fixed flushing of last GOAWAY frame. Previously, that frame
did not always reach the client, causing some to fail the next request.
Fixed calculation of last stream id accepted as described in rfc7540.
Reading in KEEPALIVE state now correctly shown in scoreboard.
Fixed possible race in connection shutdown after review by Ylavic.
Fixed segfault on connection shutdown, callback ran into a semi dismantled session.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: Added support for experimental accept-push-policy draft
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ruellan-http-accept-push-policy-00). Clients
may now influence server pushes by sending accept-push-policy headers.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new r->subprocess_env variables HTTP2 and H2PUSH, set to "on"
when available for request.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed bug in input window size calculation by moving chunked
request body encoding into later stage of processing. Fixes PR 58825.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) core: new hook "pre_close_connection" which is run before the lingering
close of connections is started. This gives protocol handlers one last
chance to use a connection before it goes down.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_status/scoreboard: showing connection protocol in new column, new
ap_update_child_status methods for updating server/description. mod_ssl
sets vhost negotiated by servername directly.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: for all ssl_engine_vars.c lookups, fall back to master connection
if conn_rec itself holds no valid SSLConnRec*. Fixes PR58666.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: connection level window for flow control is set to protocol
maximum of 2GB-1, preventing window exhaustion when sending data on many
streams with higher cumulative window size.
Reducing write frequency unless push promises need to be flushed.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: required minimum version of libnghttp2 is 1.2.1
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_fdpass: Fix AH01153 error when using the default configuration.
In earlier version of httpd, you can explicitelly set the 'flusher' parameter
to 'flush' as a workaround. (i.e. flusher=flush)
Add documentation for the 'flusher' parameter when defining a proxy worker.
[Christophe Jaillet]
*) mod_ssl: For the "SSLStaplingReturnResponderErrors off" case, make sure
to only staple responses with certificate status "good". [Kaspar Brand]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2PushPriority' to allow priority specifications
on server pushed streams according to their content-type.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixes crash on connection abort for a busy connection.
fixes crash on a request that did not produce any response.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: trailers are sent after response body if set in request_rec
trailers_out before the end-of-request bucket is sent through the
output filters. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: incoming trailers (headers after request body) are properly
forwarded to the processing engine. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2Push' to en-/disable HTTP/2 server
pushes a server/virtual host. Pushes are initiated by the presence
of 'Link:' headers with relation 'preload' on a response. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: write performance of http2 improved for larger resources,
especially static files. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: if the first HTTP/1.1 request on a connection goes to a server that
prefers different protocols, these protocols are announced in a Upgrade:
header on the response, mentioning the preferred protocols.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new directives 'H2TLSWarmUpSize' and 'H2TLSCoolDownSecs'
to control TLS record sizes during connection lifetime.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2ModernTLSOnly' to enforce security
requirements of RFC 7540 on TLS connections. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: add ap_get_protocol_upgrades() to retrieve the list of protocols
that a client could possibly upgrade to. Use in first request on a
connection to announce protocol choices. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: reworked deallocation on connection shutdown and worker
abort. Separate parent pool for all workers. worker threads are joined
on planned worker shutdown. [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: when receiving requests for other virtual hosts than the handshake
server, the SSL parameters are checked for equality. With equal
configuration, requests are passed for processing. Any change will trigger
the old behaviour of "421 Misdirected Request".
SSL now remembers the cipher suite that was used for the last handshake.
This is compared against for any vhost/directory cipher specification.
Detailed examination of renegotiation is only done when these do not
match.
Renegotiation is 403ed when a master connection is present. Exact reason
is given additionally in a request note. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: Make the output filter more friendly with deferred write and
response pipelining. [Yann Ylavic, Joe Orton]
*) core: Fix scoreboard crash (SIGBUS) on hardware requiring strict 64bit
alignment (SPARC64, PPC64). [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_cache: Accept HT (Horizontal Tab) when parsing cache related header
fields as described in RFC7230. [Christophe Jaillet]
*) core/util_script: making REDIRECT_URL a full URL is now opt-in
via new 'QualifyRedirectURL' directive.
*) core: Limit to ten the number of tolerated empty lines between request,
and consume them before the pipelining check to avoid possible response
delay when reading the next request without flushing. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_ssl: Extend expression parser registration to support ssl variables
in any expression using mod_rewrite syntax "%{SSL:VARNAME}" or function
syntax "ssl(VARNAME)". [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_http2: added donated HTTP/2 implementation via core module. Similar
configuration options to mod_ssl. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy: don't recyle backend announced "Connection: close" connections
to avoid reusing it should the close be effective after some new request
is ready to be sent. [Yann Ylavic]
