  *) Reverse the hook ordering for mod_userdir and mod_alias so
     that Alias/ScriptAlias will override Userdir.  PR 8841
     [Joshua Slive]

  *) Move mod_deflate out of experimental and into filters.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Get proxy CONNECT basically working.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix mod_rewrite hang when APR uses SysV Semaphores and
     RewriteLogLevel is set to anything other than 0.  PR: 8143
     [Aaron Bannert, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix byterange requests from returning 416 when using dynamic data
     (such as filters like mod_include).  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Allow mod_rewrite's set of "int:" internal RewriteMap functions
     to be extended by third-party modules via an optional function.
     [Tahiry Ramanamampanoharana <nomentsoa@hotmail.com>, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix mod_include expression parser's handling of unquoted strings
     followed immediately by a closing paren.  PR 8462.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Remove autom4te.cache in 'make distclean'.
     [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Fix generated httpd.conf to respect layout for LoadModule lines.
     PR 8170.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Win32: During a graceful restart, threads in the new process
     were accessing scoreboard slots still in use by active threads in 
     the the old process. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Fix some minor formatting issues with ab. Part of this is
     in reference to PR 8544, the rest I noticed while testing
     the PR fix. [Paul J. Reder]

     error message is given, but the prompt is not shown again.

  *) Close sockets on worker MPM when doing a graceless restart.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Reverted a minor optimization in mod_ssl.c that used the vhost ID
     as the session id context rather that a MD5 hash of that vhost ID,
     because it caused very long vhost id's to be unusable with mod_ssl.
     PR 8572.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix the link to the description of the CoredumpDirectory 
     directive in the server-wide document.  PR 8643.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fixed SHMCB session caching.  [Aaron Bannert, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Synced with remaining changes from mod_ssl 2.8.8-1.3.24:
     - Avoid SIGBUS on sparc machines with SHMCB session caches
     - Allow whitespace between the pipe and the name of the
     program in SSLLog "| /path/to/program".  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Introduce mod_ext_filter and mod_deflate experimental modules
     to the Win32 build (zlib sources must be in srclib\zlib.)
     [William Rowe]

  *) Changes to the worker MPM's queue management and thread
     synchronization code to reduce mutex contention  [Brian Pane]

  *) Don't install *.in configuration files since we already install
     *-std.conf files.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Many improvements to the threadpool MPM.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix subreqs that are promoted via fast_redirect from having invalid
     frec->r structures.  This would cause subtle errors later on in
     request processing such as seen in PR 7966.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) More efficient pool recycling logic for the worker MPM [Brian Pane]

  *) Modify the worker MPM to not accept() new connections until
     there is an available worker thread. This prevents queued
     connections from starving for processing time while long-running
     connections were hogging all the available threads.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Convert the worker MPM's fdqueue from a LIFO back into a FIFO.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Get basic HTTP proxy working on EBCDIC machines.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow mod_unique_id to work on systems with no IPv4 address
     corresponding to their host name.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix suexec behavior with user directories.  PR 7810.
     [Colm <colmmacc@redbrick.dcu.ie>]

  *) Reject a blank UserDir directive since it is ambiguous.  PR 8472.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Make mod_mime use case-insensitive matching when examining
     extensions on all platforms.  PR 8223.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add an intelligent error message should no proxy submodules be
     valid to handle a request. PR 8407 [Graham Leggett]

  *) Major improvements in concurrent processing for AB by enabling
     non-blocking connect()s and preventing APR from doing blocking
     read()s. Also implement fatal error checking for apr_recv().
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix Win32 NTFS Junctions (symlinks).  PR 8014  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix Win32 'short name' aliases in httpd.conf directives.
     PR 8009  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix generation of default httpd.conf when the layout paths are
     disjoint.  PR 7979, 8227.  [Justin Erenkrantz]
  *) Swap downgrade-1.0 and force-response-1.0 conditional checks so
     that downgraded responses can have force-response.  PR 8357.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix perchild MPM so that it can be configured with the move to the
     experimental directory.  [Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>]

  *) Fix perchild MPM so that it uses ap_gname2id for groups instead of
     ap_uname2id. [Scott Lamb <slamb@slamb.org>]

  *) Fix AcceptPathInfo. PR 8234  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) [Security] Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
     explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent 
     to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log. 
     Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning 
     messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
     the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
     the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
     minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
  *) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would
     omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list
     would appear to the right of the column headings instead of
     underneath them. PR 8016  [David Shane Holden <dpejesh@yahoo.com>]

  *) Moved the call to apr_mmap_dup outside the error branch so
     that it would actually get called. This fixes a core dump
     at init everytime you use the MMapFile directive. PR 8314
     [Paul J. Reder]

  *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
     load a module which is built-in.  This is a common error when
     switching from a DSO build to a static build.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
     clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
     on some platforms.  This gets subversion building properly since
     it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
     and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
     that requirement.  [Sander Striker]

  *) Allow VPATH builds to succeed when configured from an empty
     directory.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Fix 'control reaches end of non-void function' warning in
     server/log.c.  [Ben Collins-Sussman <sussman@collab.net>]

  *) Perchild MPM is now correctly deemed as experimental and is now
     located in server/mpm/experimental.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garabge collecting an expired
     cache entry.  [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
     to begin logging errors immediately.  This provides Win32 users 
     an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
     allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.
     [William Rowe] 
     
  *) Fix subreqs with non-defined Content-Types being served improperly.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Merge in latest GNU config.guess and config.sub files.  PR 7818.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Move 100 - Continue support to the HTTP_IN filter so that filters
     are guaranteed to support 100 - Continue logic without any
     intervention.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add HTTP chunked input trailer support.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Rename and export get_mime_headers as ap_get_mime_headers.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Allow empty Host: header arguments.  PR 7441.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Properly substitute sbindir as httpd's location in apachectl.  PR 7840.
