*) Fix a potential deadlock in mod_cgi script_err handling.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) rotatelogs zero-pads the logfile names to improve alphabetic sorting.
[Mitchell Blank Jr]
*) Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.4: Fixes HTTP redirects from within
.htaccess files because the RewriteBase was not replaced correctly.
Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.5: Fixes problem with rewriting inside
<Directory> sections missing a trailing /. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x. For
1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).
[Dean Gaudet] PR#336, PR#340
*) Redirect did not preserve ?query_strings when present in the client's
request. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Configure was finding non-modules on EXTRA_LIBS. [Frank Cringle] PR#380
*) Use /bin/sh5 on ULTRIX. [P. Alejandro Lopez-Valencia] PR#369
*) Add UnixWare compile/install instructions. [Chuck Murcko]
*) Add mod_example (illustration of API techniques). [Ken Coar]
*) Add macro for memmove to conf.h for SUNOS4. [Marc Slemko]
*) Improve handling of directories when filenames have spaces in them.
[Chuck Murcko]
*) For hosts with multiple IP addresses, try all additional addresses if
necessary to get a connect. Fail only if hostent address list is
exhausted. [Chuck Murcko]
*) More signed/unsigned port fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
*) HARD_SERVER_LIMIT can be defined in the Configuration file now.
[Dean Gaudet]
Changes with Apache 1.2b8
*) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
to it. [Marc Slemko]
*) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
*) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
signal is received. [Ken Coar]
*) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]
*) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]
*) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]
*) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
in the middle of an SSI request. [Dean Gaudet] PR #122
*) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
(was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]
*) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276
*) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246
*) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
*) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]
*) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
*) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
*) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
*) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
*) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
[Dirk vanGulik]
*) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
*) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
*) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
*) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
*) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
[Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
*) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
*) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
*) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory

*) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
[Petr Lampa] PR#160
*) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
[Ken Coar]
*) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
*) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
[Ken Coar] PR #146, #187
*) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
*) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
[Garey Smiley] PR #59
*) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
*) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
in use. [Ben Laurie]
*) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
*) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
caused a SEGV on some systems.
*) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
*) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.

- replace protocol response numbers with symbols
- save variant-list into main request notes
- free allocated memory from subrequests
- merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
*) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
"HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
[Chuck Murcko]
*) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
- Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
- Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
- remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
- Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
- Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
[Chuck Murcko]
*) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
[Marc Slemko]
*) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
character if the next character is one that needs
escaping. [Ben Laurie]
*) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.

*) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300. [Marc Slemko]
*) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
print (null) instead. [Ken Coar]
*) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
[Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
*) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]
*) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
the socket is not connected (reset by client). [Roy Fielding]
*) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
improved readability. [Roy Fielding]
*) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]
*) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
- Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
- Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
- Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
- Fix allocation of PATH environment variable
*) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
[Kurt Kohler]
*) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
[Harald T. Alvestrand]

as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
[Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]
*) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]
*) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
[PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]
*) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better(). This was
causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]
*) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
the clean environment on some systems.
*) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.

*) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]
*) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
many bflush() calls as possible. NOTE: Platforms without writev()
must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
or Configure, unless we have already done so. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]
*) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
for the special case of a 304 response. [Paul Sutton]
*) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]
Changes with Apache 1.2b6
*) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]

accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
1.2b5 was never a public beta.
Changes with Apache 1.2b5
*) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]
*) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
[Andreas Koenig]
*) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]
*) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
*) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
overflows. [Marc Slemko]
*) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/
*) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]
*) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
[Ken the Rodent]
*) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]
*) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
[Ken the Rodent]
*) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
[Marc Slemko]
*) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
be replaced with this version. [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
- ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
directory and below.
- execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
- restrict passed environment to known variables
- call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
- remove use of setenv() (portability fix)
*) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]
*) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]
*) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]
*) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().
*) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]
*) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
[Chuck Murcko]
*) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]
*) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]
*) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]
*) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.
*) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
server config files. [Alexei Kosut]
*) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]
*) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]
*) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks. Also improves
reporting of error conditions. [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
*) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
*) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.

*) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]
*) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]
Changes with Apache 1.2b4
*) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
[Marc Slemko]
*) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
defined for some systems.
*) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
[Randal Schwartz]
*) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]
*) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]
*) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]
*) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.
Changes with Apache 1.2b3:
*) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]
*) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
[Dirk vanGulik]
*) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]
*) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]
*) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
[Dirk vanGulik]
*) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]
*) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]
*) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
1. symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
2. initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
3. CGI command lines paramters problems
4. pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
[Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
*) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]
*) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]
*) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.
*) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
*) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]
*) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
listen_rec.
[Ben Laurie]
*) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
[later removed in 1.2b11]
*) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]
*) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?
*) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]
Changes with Apache 1.2b2:
*) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]
*) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]
*) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]
*) proxy_http.c bugfixes: [Chuck Murcko]
1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
3) Adds Host: header when not available
4) Some code cleanup and clarification
*) mod_include.c bugfixes:
1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text

QNX (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
*-sunos4* (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
*-ultrix (new)
*-unixware211 (new)
and added some user diagnostic info. [Ben Laurie]
*) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
SCO 5 (recognize minor releases)
SCO UnixWare (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)

Changes with Apache 1.1b4
*) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]
*) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]
*) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.
*) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.
*) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
Listen directive.
*) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]

*) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
various security holes found and that we could no longer support
them.
*) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]
*) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
[Ben Laurie]
*) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.
(No crypto needed) Also a NoCache config directive.
*) Several API additions: pstrndup(), table_unset() and get_token()
functions now available to modules.
*) mod_imap fixups, in particular Location: headers are now complete
URL's.

Changes with Apache 1.0.3
*) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
[Adam Sussman]
*) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
[David Robinson]
*) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]
*) Fix for POSIX compliance in waiting for processes in alloc.c.
[Nick Williams]
*) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]
*) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
[Nathan Schrenk]
*) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]
*) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]
*) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]
*) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled
*) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
[Rob Hartill]
*) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]
*) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]
Changes with Apache 1.0.2
*) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]
*) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
[David Robinson]
*) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.
*) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
[David Robinson]
*) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]
*) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
one. [David Robinson]
*) Add support for SCO 5. [Ben Laurie]
Changes with Apache 1.0.1
*) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
[Randy Terbush]
*) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]
*) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
[Ben Laurie]
*) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
system failure. [Ben Laurie]
*) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]
Changes with Apache 1.0.0 23 Nov 1995
*) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>
Changes with Apache 0.8.16 05 Nov 1995
*) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]
*) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
back-compatibility [Robert Thau]
*) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
accept() on the same socket. This should cure flaky behavior on
a lot of those systems. [David Robinson]
*) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]
*) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
"UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
that this didn't work. [David Robinson]
*) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]
*) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]
*) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
[David Robinson]
*) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility. [David Robinson]
*) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
[Roy Fielding]
*) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
*) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
in redirects [David Robinson]
Changes with Apache 0.8.15 14 Oct 1995
*) Switched to new, simpler license
*) Eliminated core dumps with improperly formatted DBM group files [Mark Cox]
*) Don't allow requests for ordinary files to have PATH_INFO [Ben Laurie]
*) Reject paths containing %-escaped '%' or null characters [David Robinson]
*) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
[David Robinson]
*) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]
*) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root. [Andrew
Wilson]
*) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
[Randy Terbush]
*) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]
*) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
[David Robinson]
*) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]
*) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
[David Robinson]
*) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]
*) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]
*) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]
*) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]
*) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]
*) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]
*) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]
*) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]
*) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]
*) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
[Ben Laurie]
