Changes with Apache 2.3.12

  *) configure, core: Provide easier support for APR's hook probe
     capability. [Jim Jagielski, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Silence autoconf 2.68 warnings.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Resolve crash when LDAP is used for authorization only
     [Scott Hill <shill genscape.com>]

  *) support: Make sure check_forensic works with mod_unique_id loaded
     [Joe Schaefer]

  *) Add child_status hook for tracking creation/termination of MPM child
     processes.  Add end_generation hook for notification when the last
     MPM child of a generation exits. [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ldap: Make LDAPSharedCacheSize 0 create a non-shared-memory cache per
     process as opposed to disabling caching completely. This allows to use
     the non-shared-memory cache as a workaround for the shared memory cache
     not being available during graceful restarts. PR 48958. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Add new ap_reserve_module_slots/ap_reserve_module_slots_directive API,
     necessary if a module (like mod_perl) registers additional modules late
     in the startup phase. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Prevent segfault if DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT is reached. PR 51072.
     [Torsten Förtsch <torsten foertsch gmx net>]

  *) WinNT MPM: Improve robustness under heavy load.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) MinGW build improvements.  PR 49535.  [John Vandenberg 
     <jayvdb gmail.com>, Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Support module names with colons in loglevel configuration.
     [Torsten Förtsch <torsten foertsch gmx net>]

  *) mod_ssl, ab: Support OpenSSL compiled without SSLv2 support.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Abort if the MPM is changed across restart.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Add support for 'ProxyErrorOverride on'. PR 50945.
     [Peter Pramberger <peter pramberger.at>, Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Add support for 'ProxyErrorOverride on'. PR 50913.
     [Mark Montague <mark catseye.org>, Jim Jagielski]

  *) core: Change the APIs of ap_cfg_getline() and ap_cfg_getc() to return an
     error code. Abort with a nice error message if a config line is too long.
     Partial fix for PR 50824. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_info: Dump config to stdout during startup if -DDUMP_CONFIG is
     specified. PR 31956. [Stefan Fritsch]
  *) Restore visibility of DEFAULT_PIDLOG to core and modules.  MPM 
     helper function ap_remove_pid() added.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Enable DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR on Windows and NetWare.  [various]

  *) Correct C++ incompatibility with http_log.h.  [Stefan Fritsch, Jeff
     Trawick]

  *) mod_log_config: Prevent segfault. PR 50861. [Torsten Förtsch
     <torsten.foertsch gmx.net>]

  *) core: AllowEncodedSlashes new option NoDecode to allow encoded slashes
     in request URL path info but not decode them. Change behavior of option
     "On" to decode the encoded slashes as 2.0 and 2.2 do.  PR 35256,
     PR 46830.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_ssl: Check SNI hostname against Host header case-insensitively.
     PR 49491.  [Mayank Agrawal <magrawal.08 gmail.com>]

  *) mod_ldap: Add LDAPConnectionPoolTTL to give control over lifetime
     of bound backend LDAP connections.  PR47634 [Eric Covener]
   
  *) mod_cache: Make CacheEnable and CacheDisable configurable per
     directory in addition to per server, making them work from within
     a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]

  *) worker, event, prefork: Correct several issues when built as
     DSOs; most notably, the scoreboard was reinitialized during graceful
     restart, such that processes of the previous generation were not
     observable.  [Jeff Trawick]

Changes with Apache 2.3.11

  *) mod_win32: Added shebang check for '! so that .vbs scripts work as CGI.

     [Guenter Knauf]

  *) mod_proxy: balancer-manager now uses POST instead of GET.
     [Jim Jagielski]

     this capability was tucked away in mod_request. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) core: new hook: ap_run_pre_read_request. [Jim Jagielski]

     invalidate existing cache entities as per RFC2616 13.10. PR 15868.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) modules: Fix many modules that were not correctly initializing if they
     were not active during server startup but got enabled later during a
     graceful restart. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Create new ap_state_query function that allows modules to determine
     if the current configuration run is the initial one at server startup,
     and if the server is started for testing/config dumping only.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Runtime configuration of many parameters for existing
     balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy: Runtime addition of new workers (BalancerMember) for existing
     balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_cache: When a bad Expires date is present, we need to behave as if
     the Expires is in the past, not as if the Expires is missing. PR 16521.
     [Co-Advisor <coad@measurement-factory.com>]

  *) mod_cache: We must ignore quoted-string values that appear in a
     Cache-Control header. PR 50199. [Graham Leggett]

     ProxyAddHeaders defaults to On. [Vincent Deffontaines]

     SSLOCSPResponseMaxAge, SSLOCSPResponseTimeSkew.  
     [Kaspar Brand <httpd-dev.2011 velox.ch>]

     output fragmented into many buckets, such as chunked HTTP responses.
     [Joe Orton] 

  *) core: Apply <If> sections to all requests, not only to file base requests.
     Allow to use <If> inside <Directory>, <Location>, and <Files> sections.
     The merging of <If> sections now happens after the merging of <Location>
     sections, even if an <If> section is embedded inside a <Directory> or
     <Files> section.  [Stefan Fritsch]
