Release:

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

    * cgi on all platforms is broken.  Specifically, with the addition of 

      filters, we have lost the ability to flush partially written buffers

      received from CGI scripts to the network. Apache 1.3 does a 

      non-blocking read on the pipe from the CGI. If bytes are present,

      Apache 1.3 keeps reading until one of three conditions are

      hit: 

      1. output buffer fills up (Apache should flush to network)

      2. receives an EOF on the pipe (ditto & cleanup)

      3. receives EWOULDBLOCK on the non-blocking read

      In case 3, Apache should flush the network buffer then do a

      blocking read on the pipe. Apache 2.0 always does a blocking read

      (in the content length filter), thus never gets the chance to

      flush the network i/o buffer.

    * Rotatelogs on Windows sometimes is not terminated when Apache

    * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache

      goes down hard. When this occurs, Apache will not serve requests

      after it is restarted. The problem is that the old rotatelogs

      is holding the listening socket. netstat -an shows two listeners

        Status: patch brought forward from 1.3.14

                WIN32 and OS2 need review [William Rowe, Brian Harvard]

    * 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: 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: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation

        into the WinNT MPM.  Changes ServerRoot service registry 

        parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.

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