Release:

    2.0     : later in 2000

RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

    * DSO hooks registered during the preflight call to ap_read_config

	are not 'unregistered' during the preflight clean-up. Thus, when 

	Apache comes up, the hook tables contain two entries for each DSO hook,

	one of which is bogus, leftover from the preflight. 

    * Pipes to CGI scripts are not being timed out

        Status: code has been added to APR to support timing out pipes.

        Status: Manoj has posted an patch to fix this.

        <19991103003605.A20612@samosa.mindspring.com>

    * Windows NT port isn't done

        Status: Bill  <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on MPM and APR. 

	Remaining work:

        - Fix Win9* specific code in the winnt MPM

        - Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the native file I/O 

          calls serialize automagically like the CRT calls or do we need to

          add region locking each time we write to the access/error logs?

	- Piped logging is broken

	- DSO support is broken

    * Win32: Fix Win9* specific code in the winnt MPM

	Status:

    * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the 

	native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the 

	CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time 

	we access the logs?

	Status: 

    * Win32:  Smoke test all ported modules to make sure they work 

	correctly under Windows.

	Status: 

    * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0

      work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did

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

    * Win32: Non-blocking CGI pipes

    * Win32: Graceful restart of a service is broken (code does shutdown then start)

    * Dynamically loadable MPMs

      Enable users of the binary distributions of Apache to be able to 

      dynamically load the MPM.

      loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a

      system call and replacing it with a generic error code)

    * APRize the stat function. CRT stat() is about 30% slower on Windows than

      the equivalent native Windows call. The APR call should return the Unix

      style stat structure, just to keep it familier.

    * Implement reliable piped logs on Windows

    * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows

        Status: Bill <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com> has prototype code (not

        reliable) in 1.3.  Should be much cleaner with APR in 2.0.
