Changes with Apache 2.0.34-dev

  *) Proxy HTTP and CONNECT: Keep trying other addresses from the DNS
     when we can't get a socket in the specified address family.  We may
     have gotten back an IPv6 address first and yet our system is not
     configured to allow IPv6 sockets.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Be more careful about recursively removing CVS directories. Make
     sure that we aren't cd'ing to their home directory first.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Add a missing errordir entry in the Debian config.layout. PR: 10067
     [Dirk-Jan Faber <dirk-jan@selwerd.nl>, Aaron Bannert,
      Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Rename the filter ordering priorities.  The recent filtering fixes
     have showcased problems with their usage.  Therefore, we need to
     rename them to increase the clarity.  (CONTENT->RESOURCE,
     HTTP_HEADER->CONTENT_SET/PROTOCOL)  [Justin Erenkrantz]

Changes with Apache 2.0.33
  *) Fix a problem in the new --enable-layout functionality where
     it wouldn't allow overrides from variables like --prefix,
     --bindir, etc.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Fix a bug in the core input filter for AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE. It
     no longer hangs around waiting for the socket to close before
     returning exhaustive data.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) rename apr_exploded_time_t to apr_time_exp_t (as per renames pending)
     [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
     this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
     running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
     server has been started.  [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
     This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which

     mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the

     passphrases from the pipe's stdout.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
     ignored.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
     PR 9888

  *) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
     --enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,
     etc. will be ignored and the settings from the layout will be
     used instead.  [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
     PR 9124, 9873, 9885

  *) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides
     regex pattern matching for the determination of which requests
     to use the remote proxy for. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Fix CustomLog bytes-sent with HTTP 0.9.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
     to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
     apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should
     use the apr_lock.h API, as the old API will soon be deprecated.
     [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Merged in changes to mod_ssl up through 2.8.7-1.3.23.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall, Cliff Woolley]

  *) mod-include: make it handle flush'es and fix the 'false-alarm'
     [Justin Erenkrantz, Brian Pane, Ian Holsman]
  *) ap_get_*_filter_handle() functions to allow 3rd party modules
     to lookup filter handles so they can bypass the filter name
     lookup when adding filters to a request (via ap_add_*_filter_handle())
     [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]

  *) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file
     bucket would cause the immediate closure of the socket on any
     non-keepalive requests.  [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]

  *) Correct Win32 failure of mmap of a segment beyond start of the
     file; fixes large SSL and similar transfers.  [William Rowe]
     PR 9898

  *) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
     multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the
     controlling terminal. This is necessary for Apache to work with
     process-management tools like AIX's "System Resource Controller"
     as well as Dan Bernstein's "daemontools".
     [Jos Backus <josb@cncdsl.com>, Aaron Bannert]

  *) Convert mod_auth_digest to use the new apr_global_mutex_t
     type.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) fix bug in mod-include where it wouldn't send a unmatched
     part if it was at the end of a bucket [Ian Holsman]

  *) worker MPM: Improve logging of errors with the interface between
     the listener thread and worker threads.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a
     single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers
     are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the
     client. [Graham Leggett]

  *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated
     header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the
     previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header
     values (like cookies) going missing.
     [Graham Leggett, Joshua Slive]

  *) Add the server-limit and thread-limit values to the scoreboard
     for the sake of third-party applications.

  *) Fix segfault when proxy recieves an invalid HTTP response [Ian Holsman]

  *) OS/390: Get make install to properly copy DSO modules.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Win32: Fix bug in mod_status with displaying "Restart Time"
     and "Server uptime".
  *) Fix IPv6 name-based virtual hosts.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Introduce AddOutputFilterByType directive.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix DEBUG_CGI support in mod_cgi.  PR 9670, 9671.
     [David MacKenzie <djm@pix.net>]

  *) Fix incorrect check for script_in in mod_cgi.  PR 9669.
     [David MacKenzie <djm@pix.net>]

  *) Fix segfault and display error when SSLMutex file can not be
     created.  [Adam Sussman <myddryn@vishnu.vidya.com>]

  *) Add reference counting to mod_mem_cache cache objects to
     better manage removing objects from the cache.
     [Bill Stoddard]
  *) Change the verbage on the ScoreBoardFile in our default configs.
     Also change the default to be commented out (unspecified) so we
     get anonymous shared memory by default.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Implement new ScoreBoardFile directive logic. This affects how
     we create the scoreboard's shared memory segment. If the directive
     is present, a name-based segment is created. If the directive is
     not present, first an anonymous segment is created, and if that
     fails, a name-based segment is created from a file of the name
     DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD. This gives third-party applications the
     ability to access our scoreboard.  [Aaron Bannert]
  *) Allow mod_deflate to work with non-GET requests and properly send
     Content-Lengths.  [Sander Striker <striker@apache.org>]

  *) Fix ap_directory_merge() to correctly merge configs when there is
     no <Directory /> block.  [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]

  *) Remove spurious debug messsages that are normal under HTTP
     keep-alive logic.  [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fix a bug in mod_cgid that would prevent proper shutdown death
     of the cgid process.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Add signal handling back in to the worker MPM for the one_process
     (-X, -DDEBUG, -DONE_PROCESS) case.  [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Performance: Reuse per-connection transaction pools in the
     worker MPM, rather than destroying and recreating them.  [Brian Pane]

  *) 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]

Changes with Apache 2.0.32

  *) mod_negotiation: ForceLanguagePriority now uses 'Prefer' as the
     default if the directive is not specified.  This mirrors older
     behavior without changes to the httpd.conf.  [William Rowe]

  *) Win32: solve the win32 service problems in 2.0.31-alpha, by fixing
     the service, mpm and logging code, and bugs in apr_file_open_stderr 
     and apr_file_dup2 functions.  Win2K/XP services have no handles 
     associated for stdin/out/err, which caused unpredictable behavior
     in the prior release.  [William Rowe, Bill Stoddard]

  *) Win32: simplify the Application Event Log messages, since there isn't
     likely to be 'more information in the error log' before an error log
     has been opened.  [William Rowe]

  *) Win32: substantial cleanup to the mpm_winnt code for legibility and
     to follow the program flow of other MPMs.  [Ryan Bloom, William Rowe]

  *) Win32: apache -k shutdown now behaves like apache -k stop.
     [Bill Stoddard]
