CHANGES

  *) mod_ssl: Make sure to always log an error if loading of CA certificates
     fails. PR 40312. [Paul Tiemann <issues apache org ourdetour com>]

  *) mod_dav: Send 501 error if unknown Content-* header is received for a PUT
     request (RFC 2616 9.6). PR 42978. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_dav: Send 400 error if malformed Content-Range header is received for
     a put request (RFC 2616 14.16). PR 49825. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Release the backend connection as soon as EOS is detected,
     so the backend isn't forced to wait for the client to eventually
     acknowledge the data. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_proxy: Optimise ProxyPass within a Location so that it is stored
     per-directory, and chosen during the location walk. Make ProxyPass
     work correctly from within a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Fix segfault if per-module LogLevel is on virtual host
     scope. PR 50117. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Move the ProxyErrorOverride directive to have per
     directory scope. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_allowmethods: New module to deny certain HTTP methods without
     interfering with authentication/authorization. [Paul Querna,
     Igor Galić, Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ssl: Log certificate information and improve error message if client
     cert verification fails. PR 50093, PR 50094. [Lassi Tuura <lat cern ch>,
     Stefan Fritsch]

  *) htcacheclean: Teach htcacheclean to limit cache size by number of
     inodes in addition to size of files. Prevents a cache disk from
     running out of space when many small files are cached.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Rename MaxRequestsPerChild to MaxConnectionsPerChild, which
     describes more accurately what the directive does. The old name
     still works but logs a warning. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_cache: Optionally serve stale data when a revalidation returns a
     5xx response, controlled by the CacheStaleOnError directive.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) htcacheclean: Allow the listing of valid URLs within the cache, with
     the option to list entry metadata such as sizes and times. [Graham
     Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: correctly parse quoted strings in cache headers.
     PR 50199 [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_cache: Allow control over the base URL of reverse proxied requests
     using the CacheKeyBaseURL directive, so that the cache key can be
     calculated from the endpoint URL instead of the server URL. [Graham
     Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: CacheLastModifiedFactor, CacheStoreNoStore, CacheStorePrivate,
     CacheStoreExpired, CacheIgnoreNoLastMod, CacheDefaultExpire,
     CacheMinExpire and CacheMaxExpire can be set per directory/location.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_disk_cache: CacheMaxFileSize, CacheMinFileSize, CacheReadSize and
     CacheReadTime can be set per directory/location. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Speed up config parsing if using a very large number of config
     files. PR 50002 [andrew cloudaccess net]

  *) mod_cache: Support the caching of HEAD requests. [Graham Leggett]

  *) htcacheclean: Allow the option to round up file sizes to a given
     block size, improving the accuracy of disk usage. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_ssl: Add authz providers for use with mod_authz_core and its
     RequireAny/RequireAll containers: 'ssl' (equivalent to SSLRequireSSL),
     'ssl-verify-client' (for use with 'SSLVerifyClient optional'), and
     'ssl-require' (expressions with same syntax as SSLRequire).
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ssl: Make the ssl expression parser thread-safe. It now requires
     bison instead of yacc. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Change on-disk header file format to support the
     link of the device/inode of the data file to the matching header
     file, and to support the option of not writing a data file when
     the data file is empty. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core/mod_unique_id: Add generate_log_id hook to allow to use
     the ID generated by mod_unique_id as error log ID for requests.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_cache: Make sure that we never allow a 304 Not Modified response
     that we asked for to leak to the client should the 304 response be
     uncacheable. PR45341 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Add the cache_status hook to register the final cache
     decision hit/miss/revalidate. Add optional support for an X-Cache
     and/or an X-Cache-Detail header to add the cache status to the
     response. PR48241 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_authz_host: Add 'local' provider that matches connections originating
     on the local host. PR 19938. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Event MPM: Fix crash accessing pollset on worker thread when child
     process is exiting.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: For process invocation (cgi, fcgid, piped loggers and so forth)
     pass the system library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or platform-specific
     variables) along with the system PATH, by default.  Both should be
     overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
     [William Rowe]

  *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
     capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
     against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
     This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
     comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt.  To help bash users and drop
     the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
     symlink test operators.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_cache: Give the cache provider the opportunity to choose to cache
     or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
     presence of a FILE bucket.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_authz_core: Allow authz providers to check args while reading the
     config and allow to cache parsed args. Move 'all' and 'env' authz
     providers from mod_authz_host to mod_authz_core. Add 'method' authz
     provider depending on the HTTP method.  [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_include: Move the request_rec within mod_include to be
     exposed within include_ctx_t. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_include: Reinstate support for UTF-8 character sets by allowing a
     variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
     steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
     mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
     provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
     to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
     fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
     set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
     within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
     and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
     gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
     passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
     This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
     occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
     CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
     the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
     additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
     error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
     lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Disable sendfile by default. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
     to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
     no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
     behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
     of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
     when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cgid: Log a warning if the ScriptSock path is truncated because
     it is too long. PR 49388.  [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) vhosts: Do not allow _default_ in NameVirtualHost, or mixing *
     and non-* ports on NameVirtualHost, or multiple NameVirtualHost
     directives for the same address:port, or NameVirtualHost
     directives with no matching VirtualHosts, or multiple ip-based
     VirtualHost sections for the same address:port.  These were
     previously accepted with a warning, but the behavior was
     undefined.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_remoteip: Fix a segfault when using mod_remoteip in conjunction with
     Allow/Deny. PR 49838.  [Andrew Skalski <voltara gmail.com>]

  *) core: DirectoryMatch can now match on the end of line character ($),
     and sub-directories of matched directories are no longer implicitly
     matched.  PR49809 [Eric Covener]

  *) Regexps: introduce new higher-level regexp utility including parsing
     and executing perl-style regexp ops (e.g s/foo/bar/i) and regexp memory
     [Nick Kew]

  *) Proxy: support setting source address.  PR 29404
     [Multiple contributors iterating through bugzilla,
      Aron Ujvari <xanco nikhok.hu>, Aleksey Midenkov <asm uezku.kemsu.ru>,
      <dan listening-station.net; trunk version Nick Kew]

  *) HTTP protocol: return 400 not 503 if we have to abort due to malformed
     chunked encoding. [Nick Kew]

Changes with Apache 2.3.8

  *) suexec: Support large log files. PR 45856. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Abort with sensible error message if no or more than one MPM is
     loaded. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Rename erroronstatus to failonstatus.
     [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]

  *) mod_ldap: Properly check the result returned by apr_ldap_init. PR 46076.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_rewrite: Log errors if rewrite map files cannot be opened. PR 49639.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Support the 'ping' property for backend HTTP/1.1 servers
     via leveraging 100-Continue as the initial "request".
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) core/mod_authz_core: Introduce new access_checker_ex hook that enables
     mod_authz_core to bypass authentication if access should be allowed by
     IP address/env var/... [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Introduce note_auth_failure hook to allow modules to add support
     for additional auth types. This makes ap_note_auth_failure() work with
     mod_auth_digest again. PR 48807. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) socache modules: return APR_NOTFOUND when a lookup is not found [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_authn_socache: new module [Nick Kew]

  *) configure: Add reallyall option for --enable-mods-shared. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Fix Windows build when using VC6. [Gregg L. Smith <lists glewis com>]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow to set environment variables without explicitly
     giving a value. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_include: recognise "text/html; parameters" as text/html
     PR 49616 [Andrey Chernov <ache nagual.pp.ru>]

  *) CGI vars: allow PATH to be set by SetEnv, consistent with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     PR 43906 [Nick Kew]

  *) Core: Extra robustness: don't try authz and segfault if authn
     fails to set r->user.  Log bug and return 500 instead.
     PR 42995 [Nick Kew]

  *) HTTP protocol filter: fix handling of longer chunk extensions
     PR 49474 [<tee.bee gmx.de>]

  *) Update SSL cipher suite and add example for SSLHonorCipherOrder.
     [Lars Eilebrecht, Rainer Jung]

  *) move AddOutputFilterByType from core to mod_filter.  This should
     fix nasty side-effects that happen when content_type is set
     more than once in processing a request, and make it fully
     compatible with dynamic and proxied contents. [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_log_config: Implement logging for sub second timestamps and
     request end time.  [Rainer Jung]

Changes with Apache 2.3.6

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
     attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
     the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
     and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
     [Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
     by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
     keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
     configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
     access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.
     [Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem, Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0408 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_proxy_ajp: Respond with HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the body is not sent
     when request headers indicate a request body is incoming; not a case of
     HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.  [Niku Toivola <niku.toivola sulake.com>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0425 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_isapi: Do not unload an isapi .dll module until the request
     processing is completed, avoiding orphaned callback pointers.
     [Brett Gervasoni <brettg senseofsecurity.com>, Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Filter init functions are now run strictly once per request
     before handler invocation.  The init functions are no longer run
     for connection filters.  PR 49328.  [Joe Orton]

  *) core: Adjust the output filter chain correctly in an internal
     redirect from a subrequest, preserving filters from the main
     request as necessary.  PR 17629.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial
     Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206
     was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or
     Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing.

     mod_ssl/mod_proxy*: Adjust loglevels to be less verbose at levels info
           and debug.
     mod_dumpio:  Replace DumpIOLogLevel with trace log levels.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ldap: LDAP caching was suppressed (and ldap-status handler returns
     title page only) when any mod_ldap directives were used in VirtualHost
     context.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is
     a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response
     from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_deflate: avoid the risk of forwarding data before headers are set.
     PR 49369 [Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]

     can use the credentials from the authentication phase
     (AuthLDAPSearchAsUSer,AuthLDAPCompareAsUser).
     PR 48340 [Domenico Rotiroti, Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Allow the initial DN search during authentication
