  *) Fix the main bug for FreeBSD and threaded MPM's. There are
     still issues (see STATUS) but at least the server will now
     run without crashing the machine.
     [David Reid, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix a typo in mod_deflate's m4 config section.
     [albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)]

  *) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections
     and handling CONNECT:
     (1) PR #9190  Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts.
     (2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by 
         the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was.  
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core
     modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously
     listed as config_log_module).  PR #9338
     [James Watson <ap2bug@sowega.org>]

  *) Fix LimitRequestBody directive by placing it in the HTTP
     filter.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix mod_proxy seg fault when the proxied server returns 
     an HTTP/0.9 response or a bogus status line.
     [Adam Sussman]

  *) Prevent mod_proxy from truncating one character off the
     end of the status line returned from the proxied server.
     [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]

  *) Eliminate loop in ap_proxy_string_read().
     [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]

  *) Provide $0..$9 results from mod_include regex parsing.
     [William Rowe]

  *) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman]

  *) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent
     returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases,
     when using Multiviews.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working
     together reliably [Greg Ames]

  *) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config
     phase.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause
     problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during
     child process exits.  [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert]

  *) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]

  *) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4
     vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of
     that address.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm
     used to find "<!--#" tokens in mod_include [Brian Pane]

  *) Miscellaneous small performance fixes: optimized away various
     string copy operations and removed large temp buffers from
     the stack [Brian Pane]

  *) Fixed startup segfault that occurred when a VirtualHost
     directive had a port but no address [Brian Pane]

  *) Allow htdbm to work with multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
  *) Win32: Made change to apr_sendfile() to return APR_ENOTIMPL
     if oslevel < WINNT.  This should fix several problems reported
     Against 2.0.28 on Windows 98 [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Win32: Fix bug that could cause CGI scripts with QUERY_STRINGS
     to fail. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Change core code to allow an MPM to set hard thread/server
     limits at startup.  prefork, worker, and perchild MPMs now have 
     directives to set these limits.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
     successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
     eliminates a number of spurious
     setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.

  *) Move any load library path environment variables out of 
     apachectl and into a separate environment variable file which
     can be more easily tailored by the admin.  The environment
     variable file as built by Apache may have additional system-
     specific settings.  For example, on OS/390 we tailor the heap
     settings to allow lots of threads.  [Jeff Trawick]
    
  *) Use the new APR pool code to reduce pool-related lock
     contention in the worker MPM.  [Sander Striker]

  *) The POD no longer assumes the child is listening on 127.0.0.1
     and now pulls the first hostname in the list of listeners to
     perform the dummy connect on. This fixes a bug when the user
     had configured the Listen directive for an IP other than
     127.0.0.1. This would result in undead children and error
     messages such as "Connection refused: connect to listener".
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) The worker MPM now respects the LockFile setting, needed to
     avoid locking problems with NFS.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix segfault when worker MPM receives SIGHUP.
     [Ian Holsman, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix bug that could potentially prevent the perchild MPM from
     working with more than one vhost/uid.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Change make install and apxs -i processing of DSO modules to 
     perform special handling on platforms where libtool doesn't install 
     mod_foo.so.  This fixes some wonkiness on HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX 
     which prevented standard LoadModule statements from working.
  *) Whenever mod_so is enabled (not just when there are DSOs for
     our modules), do whatever special magic is required for compiling/
     loading third-party modules.  This allows third-party DSOs to
     be used on an AIX build when there were no built-in modules
     built as DSOs.  (This should help on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow apxs to be used to build DSOs on AIX without requiring the
     user to hard-code the list of import files.  (This should help
     on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Resolved segfault in mod_isapi when configuring with ISAPICacheFile.
     PR 8563, 8919  [William Rowe]
  
  *) Get binary builds working when libapr and libaprutil are built
     shared [Greg Ames]

Ian Holsman committed

  *) Get shared builds of libapr and libaprutil, as well as Apache DSOs,
     working on AIX.  [Aaron Bannert, Dick Dunbar <RLDunbar@pacbell.net>,
     Gary Hook <ghook@us.ibm.com>, Victor Orlikowski, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix the handling of SSI directives in which the ">" of the
     terminating "-->" is the last byte in a file [Brian Pane]

  *) Add back in the "suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /path/to/suexec)"
     message that we had back in apache-1.3 and still have scattered
     throughout our docs.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Prevent the Win32 port from continuing after encountering an
     error in the command line args to apache.  [William Rowe]

  *) On a error in the proxy, make it write a line to the error log
     [Ian Holsman]

  *) Various mod_ssl performance improvements [Doug MacEachern]

Changes with Apache 2.0.29
  *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long
     lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes.
     [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is 
     installed in the correct location.
     [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu <hiramatu@boreas.dti.ne.jp> and
      Gomez Henri <hgomez@slib.fr>]

  *) Fix the cmd command for mod_include.  When we are processing
     a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set
     the command name.  The command comes from the SSI tag.  To do this,
     I added a variable to the function that builds the command line
     in mod_cgi.  This allows the include_cmd function to specify
     the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you
     to flag a error while opening logs
     [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern]

  *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you
     to flag a error post config
     [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is
     hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure
     script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death
     [Brian Pane]

  *) Add mod_deflate to experimental.  
     [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified.
