Release:

    WARNING: ALWAYS check srclib/apr/STATUS and srclib/apr-util/STATUS

    * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache

      goes down hard.  Need parent tracking the child's processes.

    * 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

    * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation

        into the WinNT MPM.  Changes ServerRoot service registry 

        parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.

        Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken, 

        signals are not being acknowledged.  Close window and shutdown 

        also seem out of sorts.

        OtherBill is working on this and will finish over the weekend.

    * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.

        Status: The best known candidate would be something from

	BIND v9.

        Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"

    * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the

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

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

    * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work

	(at least) needs to be done:

	- winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT

	specific code that is still not in NT only code paths

	- IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which 

        is not available on 95/98.

        - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in

        rand.c, at least.)

    * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache

      goes down hard.  FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the 

      child's-child processes in the parent process.

    * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or

        the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad 

        death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.

        Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20

    * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:

    * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.

    * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the

        close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.

        Status: OtherBill will move the patch forward from 1.3.15, once we 

        get our other Win9x issues solved.

    * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or

        the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad 

        death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.

        Status: OtherBill is bringing forward same ugly hack from 1.3.13

    * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)

      Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules 

      in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.

      process (e.g., mutex init failure), other children (cgid, at least) 

      are left hanging around

    * Win32 should grow version info on all .dll/.so/.exe binaries.  Pretty

      simple with the right script (awk or perl), we just don't need to grow

      dozens of new files in the repository to do so.

        is not available on 95/98.

        - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in

        rand.c, at least.)  This could be resolved with an SSL library, or

        randomization in APR itself.

        - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it

        actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
