Changes with Apache 2.0.32-dev
  *) Win32: Get apache -k restart -n apache2 working reliabily again.
     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Remove all signals from the worker MPM's child process.  Instead,
     the parent uses the Pipe of Death for all communication with the
     child processes.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix prefork to not kill the parent if a child hits a resource shortage
     on accept().  [Greg Ames]

  *) Fix seg faults that occur when what should be the httpd request line
     starts with \r\n followed by garbage.  [Greg Ames]

  *) Allow statically linked support binaries with the new
     --enable-static-support flag, and enable this behavior in
     the binbuild script. Also add a new --enable-static-htdbm
     flag.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Allow mod_autoindex to serve symlinks if permitted and attempt to
     do only one stat() call when generating the directory listings.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix resolve_symlink to save the original symlink name if known.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Be a bit more sane with regard to CanonicalNames.  If the user has
     specified they want to use the CanonicalName, but they have not
     configured a port with the ServerName, then use the same port that 
     the original request used. [Ryan Bloom and Ken Coar]

  *) In core_input_filter, check for an empty brigade after 
     APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE().  Otherwise, we can get segfaults if a
     client says it will post some data but we get FIN before any
     data arrives.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Not being able to bind to the socket is a fatal error.  We should
     print an error to the console, and return a non-zero status code.
     With these changes, all of the Unix MPMs do that correctly.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) suexec: Allow HTTPS and SSL_* environment variables to be passed
     through to CGI scripts. PR 9163
     [Brian Reid <breid@customlogic.com>, 
      Zvi Har'El <rl@math.technion.ac.il>]

  *) binbuild.sh: Make sure that we use the expat from our source
     tree so that there aren't any surprises on the target machine.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_cgid: Add retry logic for when the daemon can't fork fast
     enough to keep up with new requests.  Start using 
     HTTP_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE instead of HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
     when we can't talk to the daemon.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) apxs: LTFLAGS envvar can override default libtool options.  Try
     "LTFLAGS=' ' apxs -c mod_foo.c" to see what libtool does under
     the covers.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) The Location: response header field, used for external
     redirect, *must* be an absoluteURI.  The Redirect directive
     tested for that, but RedirectMatch didn't -- it would allow
     almost anything through.  Now it will try to turn an abs_path
     into an absoluteURI, but it will correctly varf like Redirect
     if the final redirection target isn't an absoluteURI.  [Ken Coar]

Changes with Apache 2.0.31

  *) Create the scoreboard (in the parent) in a global pool context,
     so it survives graceful restarts. This fixes a SEGV during
     graceful restarts.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Add a timeout option to the proxy code 'ProxyTimeout' 
     [Ian Holsman]
  *) FTP directory listings are now always retrieved in ASCII mode.
     The FTP proxy properly escapes URI's and HTML in the generated
     listing, and escapes the path components when talking to the FTP
     server. It is now possible to browse the root directory by using
     a url like:   ftp://user@host/%2f/ (ported from apache_1.3.24)
     Also, the last path component may contain wildcard characters
     '*' and '?', and if they do, a directory listing is created instead
     of a file retrieval. Example: ftp://user@host/httpd/server/*.c
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Added single-listener unserialized accept support to the
     worker MPM [Brian Pane]

  *) New Directive for mod_proxy: 'ProxyPreserveHost'. This passes
     the incoming host header through to the proxied server
     [Geoff <g.russell@ieee.org>]

  *) New Directive Option for ProxyPass. It now can block a location
     from being proxied [Jukka Pihl <jukka.pihl@entirem.com>]
  *) Don't let the default handler try to serve a raw directory.  At
     best you get gibberish.  Much worse things can happen depending
     on the OS.  [Jeff Trawick]
     
  *) Change the pre_config hook to return a value. Modules can now emit
     an error message and then cause the server to quit gracefully during
     startup. This required a bump to the MMN.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fix some unix socket descriptor leaks in the handler side of
     mod_cgid (the part that runs in the server process).  Whack a
     silly "close(-1)" in the handler too.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Change the pre_mpm hook to return a value, so that scoreboard
     init errors percolate up to code that knows how to exit 
     cleanly.  This required a bump to the MMN.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Add the socket back to the conn_rec and remove the create_connection
     hook. The create_connection hook had a design flaw that did not 
     allow creating connections based on vhost info. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Fixed PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING from mod_negotiation results.
     Resolves the common case of using negotation to resolve the request
     /script/foo for /script.cgi/foo.  [William Rowe]

  *) Added new functions ap_add_(input|output)_filter_handle to
     allow modules to bypass the usual filter name lookup when
     adding hard-coded filters to a request [Brian Pane]

  *) caching should now work on subrequests (still very experimental)

  *) The Win32 mpm_winnt now has a shared scoreboard.  [William Rowe]

  *) Change ap_get_brigade prototype to use apr_off_t instead of apr_off_t*.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Refactor ap_rgetline so that it does not use an internal brigade.
     Change ap_rgetline's prototype to return errors.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Remove mod_auth_db.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Do not install unnecessary pcre headers like config.h and internal.h.
     [Joe Orton <joe@manyfish.co.uk>]

  *) Change in quick_hanlder behavior for subrequests. it now passes DONE
     (as it does for a normal request). quick_handled sub-requests now work
     in mod-include [Ian Holsman]

  *) Change SUBREQ_CORE so that it is a 'HTTP_HEADER' filter instead of
     'CONTENT' one, as it needs to run AFTER all content headers

  *) Rename BeOS MPM directive RequestsPerThread to MaxRequestsPerThread.
     [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) Split out blocking from the mode in the input filters.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix a segfault in mod_include.  [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Cause Win32 to capture all child-worker process errors in
     Apache to the main server error log, until the child can
     open its own error logs.  [William Rowe]

  *) HPUX 11.*: Do not kill the child process when accept() 
     returns ENOBUFS on HPUX 11.*. (ported from a 1.3 patch
     by [madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com])
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Fix a problem in the parsing of the <Proxy foo> directive.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) rewrite of mod_ssl input filter for better performance and less
     memory usage [Doug MacEachern]

  *) allow quick_handler to be run on subrequests. [Ian Holsman]
  *) mod_dav now asks its provider to place content directly into the
     filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider
     API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein]

  *) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure
     we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails.
     This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process
     the returned socket if it was non-NULL.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter
     to avoid segfaults.  [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what
     data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs.  MMN
     bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of
     the core_dir_config structure.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the
     wrong config to ap_get_remote_host().  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by
     using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of
     750.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when
     the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane]

  *) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core, 
     mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable
