Changes with Apache 2.0.23-dev

  *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in

     an error, other than a success or redirect.  [William Rowe]

  *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept

     negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting

     to an autoindex of the directory.  [William Rowe]

     to an autoindex of the directory.  mod_negotiation will now die

     with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames 

     (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served.  mod_negotation now

     refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't

     recognize, and wasn't part of the request.  [William Rowe]

  *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file

     extension.  This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin

     wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and 

     associate .exe files with that content type.  [William Rowe]

     associate .exe files with that content type.  Multiviews must be

     enabled to allow these to be served.  [William Rowe]

  *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload

     or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes

Release:

        MsgId: <20010227104646.E2297@lyra.org>

        MsgId: <3A9C0097.9C83F07C@Golux.Com>

    * mod_negotiation will not serve a request when an early extention

      is understood, but a later extention is not.  e.g. if the request

      index.html.bak is recieved, and negotition could find the file

      index.html.bak.en, it still won't be served because the 

      ap-mime-exception-list will contain "index" and "bak", and the

      string "index.bak" doesn't match "index.html.bak".  Need to

      review the ap-mime-exception-list component by component to be

      allow these cases.  [This could be part of a patch to allow the

      name index.bak in the case above to match index.html.bak.en]

    * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like

      ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority

      directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.

    * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives.  MaxClients in 

      the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to

      do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
