  *) FreeBSD: Use the httpready accept filter instead of dataready on
     newer levels of the OS.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

  *) Delete some make-generated files in the server directory during 
     "make clean" processing.  PR 26552.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Keep focus of ITERATE and ITERATE2 on the current module when
     the module chooses to return DECLINE_CMD for the directive.
     PR 22299.  [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) Allow mod_auth_digest to work with sub-requests with different
     methods than the original request.  PR 25040.
     [Josh Dady <jpd indecisive.com>]
  *) Fixed file extensions for real media files and removed rpm extension
     from mime.types. PR 26079.  [Allan Sandfeld <kde carewolf.com>]

  *) Unix MPMs: Stop dropping connections when the file descriptor
     is at least FD_SETSIZE.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
     accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
     as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
     rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
     mode. PR 25635.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
     the [handler=...] flag.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns
     true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_log_config: Fix corruption of buffered logs with threaded
     MPMs.  PR 25520.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow proxying of resources that are invoked via DirectoryIndex.
     PR 14648.  [André Malo]

     PR 25917.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Cookie creation now works locale independent.

  *) Add forensic logging module (mod_log_forensic).
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) mod_proxy with ProxyErrorOverride On in a reverse-proxy configuration attaches
     a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header. 
     PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]

  *) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
     header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
     redirects.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix some piped log problems: bogus "piped log program '(null)'
     failed" messages during restart and problem with the logger
     respawning again after Apache is stopped.  PR 21648, PR 24805.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>' 
     in the initial container.  PR 25414. 
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

     directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) Fixed cache-removal order in mod_mem_cache.
     [Jean-Jacques Clar, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Add fatal exception hook for use by debug modules.  The hook is only
     available if the --enable-exception-hook configure parm is used.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ssl/mod_status: Re-enable support for output of SSL session
     cache information in server-status page.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Remove the shmht session cache, shmcb should be used
     instead.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_logio: Account for some bytes handed to the network layer prior to
     dropped connections.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_autoindex: new directive IndexStyleSheet 
    [Tyler Riddle <triddle_1999 yahoo.com>, Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

     [Matthieu Estrade <apache moresecurity.org>]
  *) mod_setenvif: Fix the regex optimizer, which under circumstances
     treated the supplied regex as literal string. PR 24219.
     [André Malo]

     filesystem name are rejected with 403.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Switch to APR 1.0 API.

  *) Fix mod_include's expression parser to recognize strings correctly
     even if they start with an escaped token.  [André Malo]

     that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
     incompatible change of mod_include's external API.  [André Malo]
  *) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
     PR 14223.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Catch an edge case, where strange subsequent RewriteRules
     could lead to a 400 (Bad Request) response.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
     the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
     strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493.  [André Malo]

  *) Change Listen directive to bind to all addresses when a hostname is
     not specified.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.

     the ENGINE functions but the engine header files are missing.
     [Cliff Woolley]

  *) mod_rewrite: RewriteRules in server context using the force
     type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_authz_groupfile: Strip trailing spaces of group names. This
     hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
     the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,
     which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_speling: Recognize AcceptPathInfo setting for the particular
     location. Default is to reject path information. PR 21059.

  *) Fix a compile failure with recent OpenSSL and picky compilers
     (e.g., OpenSSL 0.9.7a and xlc_r on AIX).  [Jeff Trawick]

     the INCLUDE path to be defined properly.

  *) change directive name from 'compressionlevel' to 'deflatecompressionlevel'
