Release:

RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

    * Revert to a 1.3 behavior and allow a non-file request to travel

      through the request cycle.  If any request gets to the core handler,

      without a flag that this r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk,

      then we 500 at the very end of the request cycle.  This provides

      authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving

      the security and robustness of 2.0.  This does not remove the new

      map_to_storage hook itself, but makes it optional for some cases.

    * There is an observation that svn + ssl has a significant interaction

      in dir_merge sections with the new location_walk optimization.  This

      could reflect a bug in retrieving the cached location_walk, or some

      other nasty mis-config.  Core dump post to httpd-dev;

      Message-ID: <JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOIENKEIAA.striker@apache.org>

    * There is an interesting problem with directory_walk, now that it is

      optional (may be overridden by a map_to_storage hook.)  The change

      of per_dir_default for a vhost switch doesn't happen until dir_walk.

      This switch needs to be pushed out of directory_walk, perhaps the

      burden is put on the 'switcher' of the ->server entry, such as 

      mod_vhost_alias itself.

    * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config

      hook.  The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct 

      order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly.  Currently,

      modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved

      back when this is fixed.    rbb

    * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the

      administrator to remove or reorder filters.  Once a filter is added

      in a container, it is present in any subcontainers.  It can only be

      added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing

      containers.

    * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the

      administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)

      extensions.  It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted 

      before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of

      filename extensions.  Add...FilterByType will add to this quandry.

      Some sort of resolution needs to be proposed, 

    * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do

      not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes"

RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:

    * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes?  This

      allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed

      by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply 

      <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible

      and in-your-face.)  This proposed change would not depricate Alias.

    * add mod_gz to httpd-2.0 (in modules/experimental/)
