     insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens.
     [Roy Fielding] PR#2065

  *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status
     code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return
     "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455

  *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional
     negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants
     and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy <treacy@debian.org>] PR#3299, 3688

  *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places,
     unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places
     to get the right result.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when
     negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too
     (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1
     fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in
     some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman]

  *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index
     file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found.
     [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer]

  *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable
     searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now
     error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf.
     [Paul Sutton]

  *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now
     displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log.
     Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is
     going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton]

  *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm,
     and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as
     being smashed with our own algorithm.  Also abstract the password
     checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses 
     access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such
     as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769.

  *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will
     make subtasking easier on the OSD/POSIX mainframe environment.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to
     ap_compat.h. [David White <david@persimmon.com>] PR#3725

  *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e.
     use `.db' instead of `.pag' not only for FreeBSD, but also when
     the NDBM library looks like Berkeley-DB based.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3773

  *) Add ability to handle DES or MD5 authentication passwords.
     [Ryan Bloom <rbb@Raleigh.IBM.Com>]

  *) Fix O(n^2) memory consumption in mod_speling.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) SECURITY: Avoid some buffer overflow problems when escaping
     quoted strings.  (This overflow was on the heap and we believe
     impossible to exploit.)  [Rick Perry <perry@ece.vill.edu>]

  *) Let src/Configure be aware of CFLAGS options starting with plus
     signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler.
     [Doug Yatcilla <yatcilda@umdnj.edu>] PR#3681

  *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first)
     and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'.
     [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671

  *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been
     implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional
     hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]'
     to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both
     sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen
     because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell
     prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :)
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as
     well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is
     printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral
     and this makes its functions available to things in src/support.
     [Ken Coar]

Changes with Apache 1.3.4

  *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection
     and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err,
     mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding]

  *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the
     vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and
     filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF.  Its
     presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename
     for modules compiled before 1 January 1999.  [Ken Coar]

  *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32
     to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names.
     [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat]
     
  *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build)
     and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95.
     Run each of the following from the src directory:
        nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt           # compiles normal build
        nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install   # compiles and installs
        nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean     # removes compiled junk
        nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt     # compiles debug build
        nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install
        nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us
     to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making
     the column headers anchors; you could still change the display
     order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the
     URL.  Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so
     it can't be overridden this way.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order
     for FancyIndexed directory listings.  [Ken Coar] PR#1699

  *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms.
     [Richard Prinz <richard.prinz@cso.net>] PR#2575

  *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't
     search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case
     for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>] PR#2462
  
  *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_
     compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into 
     Apache per default. [Sim Harbert <sim@mindspring.com>] PR#3572

  *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a
     backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete
     context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur
     because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590
 
  *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by
     making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they
     depend on other libraries).
     [Markus Theissinger <markus.theissinger@gmx.de>]

  *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a
     recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c
     in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of
     module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527

  *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to
     allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't
     an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current
     Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152
 
  *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also
     supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to
     match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like
     `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions
     `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape
     to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in
     combination with map lookups). 
     [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was
     forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only
     user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and
     `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of
     (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope.  [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the
     module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This
     has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2.
     - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding.
     - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in
       the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list.
     - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted
       encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not
       included within Accept-Encoding.
     - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation
       of large substring sequences.
     - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat.
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1.
     - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure
     - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added
       support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1
       revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt).
         - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2
           levels like x-y-z
         - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are
           processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all
           values acceptable instead of unacceptable.
         - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding
     - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and
       rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts,
       e.g. no feature negotiation).  Removed old experimental version.
     - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness
       (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary
       will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server
       is changed)
         - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec
         - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API
     - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm 
       to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type
     - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that
       negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors
     - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map
       file as its best variant

  *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL
     rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile).
     This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and
     the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer]

  *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret
     #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a
     standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #!
     Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer]

  *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg <stagg@lentil.org>]
     PR#3336

  *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing
     and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson <mda@discerning.com>] PR#3553

  *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show
     the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid
     command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and
     instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives.
     So we now changed the command line options this way:
     1. `-L' => `-R' 
        Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is
        very similar to the popular linker option.
     2. `-h' => `-L'
        Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the
        large list of directives implemented by these modules.  This is also
        consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info).
     3. `-?' => `-h' 
        Intent: it's now the expected option ;-)
     The manual page was adjusted accordingly.

  *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC
     wasn't defined.  [Rick Franchuk <rickf@transpect.net>]

  *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI:
     o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not
       initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args
       \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments
       containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct
       "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit
       argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use.
     o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating
       redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing
       loop).  We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the
       `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in
       case --with-layout is not used.
     o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists.
       Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in
       config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the
       four paths for which we do it currently).  Additionally the suffix is
       no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/<target>' where <target> is
       the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'.
     o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces
     o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style
     o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-)
     o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Added two new core API functions, ap_single_module_configure() and
     ap_single_module_init(), which are now used by mod_so to configure a module

  *) PORT: Add defines for USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT and

  *) PORT: Fixed a misplaced #endif for NetBSD/OpenBSD section
     of ap_config.h that would skip several defines if DEFAULT_GROUP
     was overridden. [Roy Fielding]

  *) PORT: The I86 version of DGUX has support for strncasecmp and 
     strcasecmp, so allow it in ap_config.h. [Amiel Lee Yee] PR#3247

  *) Fix ordering of definitions in ap_config.h so that ap_inline is
     defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko]

  *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0).
     [Tom Serkowski <tks@bsdi.com>] PR#3453

  *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to
     differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
     another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
     just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380

  *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
     since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
     when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240

  *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
     creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
     shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
     Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
     from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
     provided through the TOP variable, too.

  *) Fix APXS tool: query variables LIBS_SHLIB and TARGET were not recognized
     and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.

  *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
     They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
     IS to the compiler/linker command.  [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
     procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
     identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
     config.layout.  Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
     argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.

     The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
     where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
     specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.

  *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
     extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
     default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and 
     <Files> containers as well as .htaccess files.  [Paul Sutton]
     PR#1180

  *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
     APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
     file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports

     with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.

  *) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that
     a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all

  *) http_config.c would respond with 501 (Method Not Implemented) if a
     content type handler was specified but could not be found, which

  *) Add APACI --permute-module=foo:bar option which can be used to
     on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar)
     in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are
     supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module
     mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to
     the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority).  And second foo:END
     which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves'
     the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).

Changes with Apache 1.3.3

  *) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as
     specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1.  Disabled the 100 Continue
     response when we already know the final status, which is mighty
     useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part
     of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
     between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
     of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the
     revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and 
     HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications.  Did not add the

     determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way
     we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
     portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
     configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
     approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
     the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
     As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
     existance of the file under /usr/include, too.

  *) PORT: Added RHAPSODY (Mac OS X Server) support. MAP_TMPFILE defined
     as an alternate mechanism for mmap'd shared memory for RHAPSODY.
     ap_private_extern defined to hide symbols that conflict with loaded
     dynamic libraries on the NEXT and RHAPSODY platforms.

  *) Fix possible buffer overflow situation in suexec.c.
     [Jeff Stewart <jws@purdue.edu>] PR#2790

  *) Add some more LIBS for the SCO5 platform which are needed for the already
     used -lprot. It's actually a bug in SCO5, of course.
     [Ronald Record <rr@sco.com>] PR#2533

  *) Fix documentation of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse according to the
     trailing slash problem. [Jon Drukman <jsd@gamespot.com>] PR#2933
  
  *) Remove `-msym' option from LDFLAGS_SHLIB for the Digital UNIX (OSF/1)
     platform, because it's only supported under version 4.0 and higher. But
     because our GuessOS is still unaware of Digital UNIX versions and the
     -msym is just to optimize the DSO statup time a little bit it's safe and
     best when we leave it out now.  [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969

  *) Fix the ap_log_error_old(), ap_log_unixerr() and ap_log_printf()
     functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing
     "%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting
     (instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the
     real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941

  *) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config
     files (but not .htaccess files).  [Ken Coar] PR#2727

  *) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to
     port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT
     directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a
     CONNECT is allowed.  [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer]

  *) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file
     on disk.  Previously it would never add an Expires: header to
     any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only
     case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of 
     content is if you are using a modification date based setting.  
     [Marc Slemko, Paul Phillips <paulp@go2net.com>]

  *) Problems encountered during .htaccess parsing or CGI execution
     that lead to a "500 Server Error" condition now provide explanatory
     text (in the *ERROR_NOTES envariable) to ErrorDocument 500 scripts.
     [Ken Coar] PR#1291

  *) Add NameWidth keyword to IndexOptions directive so that the
     width of the filename column is customisable.  [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
     PR#1949, 2324.

  *) Recognize lowercase _and_ uppercase `uname' results under
     SCO OpenServer. [David Coelho <drc@ppt.com>]

  *) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be
     a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache
     proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log
     the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914 
     
  *) The <IfModule and <IfDefine block starting directives now only
     allow exactly one argument. Previously, the optional negation
     character '!' could be separated by whitespace without a syntax
     error being reported, albeit defeating the IfModule functionality
     (enclosed directives would ALWAYS be executed). By using the
     stricter syntax, these hard-to-track errors can be avoided.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Simplify handling of IndexOptions in mod_autoindex -- and BTW
     cause the standalone FancyIndexing directive to logically OR
     into any existing IndexOptions settings rather than wiping
     them out.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Changes in ftp proxy: make URL parsing simpler by using the
     parsed_uri stuff.
     + Add display of the "current directory" in cases where it's
     different from the supplied path (e.g., ftp://user@host/ lives
     in /home/user, not in /, therefore clicking on "../" in the
     starting directory might send us to /home/).
     + When ftp login fails, (esp. when a user name was part of the
     URL already), we now return [401 Unauthorized ] to allow the
     browser to pop up an authorization dialog. This makes passwords
     slightly less visible (they don't appear in the regular log files)
     and implements a functionality that other www proxy servers
     already offered.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Triggered by the recent "Via:" header changes, the proxy module would
     dump core for replies with invalid headers (e.g., duplicate
     "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines). These errors are now logged and the
     core dump is avoided. Also, broken replies are not cached.
     [Martin Kraemer] PR#2914

  *) new `GprofDir' directive when compiled with -DGPROF, where gprof can
     plop gmon.out profile data for each child [Doug MacEachern]
   
  *) Use the construct ``"$@"'' instead of ``$*'' in the generated
     config.status script to be immune against arguments with whitespaces.
     [Yves Arrouye <yves@apple.com>] PR#2866

  *) Replace the inlined information grabbing stuff for the configuration
     adjustment feature (no --without-confadjust) with calls to a new helper
     script `buildinfo.sh' which is both more flexible and already proofed to
     be more robust against platform differences. This mainly fixes the
     recently occured ``sed: command garbled: ...'' problems.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2776, PR#2848

  *) Make ab.c again pass ``gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align
     -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline''
     without complains after we recently added the POST feature.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Renamed is_HTTP_xxx() macros to ap_is_HTTP_xxx() name. They are used inside
     modules as API functions and we forgot them at the big symbol renaming.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Remove bad reference to non-existing SERVER_VERSION in mod_rewrite.html
     [Youichirou Koga <y-koga@jp.FreeBSD.ORG>] PR#2895

  *) Dynamically size the filename column of mod_autoindex output.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Add the ability to do POST requests to the ab benchmarking tool.
     [Kurt Sussman <kls@best.com>] PR#2871

  *) Bump up MAX_ENV_FLAGS in mod_rewrite.h from the too conservatice limit of
     5 to 10 because there are some users out there who always have 5 to 8
     variables in one RewriteRule and had to patch mod_rewrite.h for every
     release. So 15 should be now more than enough, even for them. (I never
     needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-)
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Make the proxy generate and understand Via: headers
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Change the proxy to use tables instead of array_headers for
     the header lines. [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Make sure the config.status file is not overridden when just
     ``configure --help'' is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2844

  *) Split MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER into _MAJOR/_MINOR numbers. This should
     provide a way to trace API changes that add functionality but do
     not create a compatibility issue for precompiled modules, etc.
     See include/ap_mmn.h for more details.  [Randy Terbush]

  *) Fix suexec installation under `make install root=xxx' situation.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Extend the output of the -V switch to include the paths of all
     compiled-in configuration files, if they were overridden at
     compile time, for least astonishment of the user.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) When READing a request in ExtendedStatus mode, the "old"
     vhost, request and client information is not displayed.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) STATUS is no longer available. Full status information now
     run-time configurable using the ExtendedStatus directive.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) SECURITY [CAN-1999-1199] (cve.mitre.org): 
     Eliminate O(n^2) space DoS attacks (and other O(n^2)
     cpu time attacks) in header parsing.  Add ap_overlap_tables(),
     a function which can be used to perform bulk update operations
     on tables in a more efficient manner.

  *) SECURITY: Added compile-time and configurable limits for
     various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple
     denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line
     size (LimitRequestLine), number of header fields (LimitRequestFields),
     and size of any one header field (LimitRequestFieldsize).  Also added
     a configurable directive LimitRequestBody for limiting the size of the
     request message body.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Make status module aware of DNS and logging states, even if
     STATUS not defined.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Fix a problem with the new OS/2 mutexes.  [Brian Havard]

  *) Enhance mod_speling so that CheckSpelling can be used in
     <Directory> containers and .htaccess files.  [Ken Coar]

  *) API: new ap_custom_response() function for hooking into the
     ErrorDocument mechanism at runtime [Doug MacEachern]

  *) API: new ap_uuencode() function [Doug MacEachern]

  *) API: scan_script_header_err_core() now "public" and renamed
     ap_scan_script_header_err_core() [Doug MacEachern]

  *) The 'status' module will now show the process pid's and their
     state even without full STATUS accounting. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Restore the client IP address to the error log messages, this
     was lost during the transition from 1.2 to 1.3.  Add a new
     function ap_log_rerror() which takes a request_rec * and
     formats it appropriately.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#2661

  *) Cure ap_cfg_getline() of its nasty habit of compressing internal
     whitespace in input lines -- including within quoted strings.
     [Ken Coar]
     but leading and trailing whitespace should continue to be
     stripped [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Cleanup of the PrintPath/PrintPathOS2 helper functions. Avoid
     the ugly use of an env. variable and use command-line args for
     alternate $PATH. Make more like advanced 'type's as well.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) The IRIXN32 Rule was being ignored. Configure now correctly adds
     -n32 only if IRIXN32 says to. [Jim Jagielski, Alain St-Denis
     <alain.st-denis@ec.gc.ca>] PR#2736

  *) Clean up a warning in mod_proxy. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Renamed __EMX__ (internal define of the gcc port under OS/2) to OS2
     following the same idea as "MSVC vs WIN32". Additionally the src/os/emx/
     directory was renamed to src/os/os2/ for consistency.
     [Brian Havard, Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add new Rule SHARED_CHAIN which can be used to enable linking of DSO
     files (here modules) against other DSO files (here shared libraries).
     This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for
     linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs.  Currently the rule is
     disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental)
     rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and
     want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2587

  *) Fix suEXEC start message: Has to be of `notice' level to really get
     printed together with the standard startup message because the `notice'
     level is handled special inside ap_log_error() for startup messages.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2761 PR#2761 PR#2765

  *) Add correct `model' MIME types from RFC2077 to mime.types file.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2732

  *) Fixed examples in mod_rewrite.html document. 
     [Youichirou Koga <y-koga@jp.FreeBSD.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2756

  *) Allow ap_read_request errors to propagate through the normal request
     handling loop so that the connection can be properly closed with
     lingering_close, thus avoiding a potential TCP reset that would
     cause the client to miss the HTTP error response.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) One more portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk
     and sed in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some
     platforms (for instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the
     non-newline-termined output of Awk. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2729
