[Paul Querna] *) mod_ldap: Fix the search limit parameter to ldap_search_ext_s() for SDKs that define LDAP_NO_LIMIT to something other than -1. [David Jones ] *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values when invoked without variable name(s). [William Rowe, Sander Temme] *) apxs: Eliminate run-time check for mod_so. PR 40653. [David M. Lee ] *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run(). [Chris Darroch] *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed. [Chris Darroch] *) mod_dbd: Stash DBD connections in request_config of initial request only, or else sub-requests and internal redirections may cause entire DBD pool to be stashed in a single HTTP request. [Chris Darroch] *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs on Win32. PR 40476. [Tom Donovan ] *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski] *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_. This brings mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk] *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade. [Niklas Edmundsson ] *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew] *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description(). [Jeff Trawick] *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase and format messages for both the console and the error log, as appropriate. [Chris Darroch] *) mod_proxy: don't URLencode tilde in path component [Stijn Hoop ] *) mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects. The return value is index to the signaled thread in the creted_threads array. We can not use WAIT_TIMEOUT because his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads to that value. [Mladen Turk] *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe] *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ] configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug. The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe] *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is within the configured boundaries before actually saving data. [Niklas Edmundsson ] *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their final name. [Davi Arnaut ] *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch] *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite. [Markus Schiegl ] *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused definitions relating to old life_status field. [Chris Darroch ] *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch ] *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy. [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna] *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736. [Chris Darroch ] *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it. [Jeff Trawick] *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes] *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy' into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide support for these directives. [Brad Nicholes] *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as add the directives '', '', '' and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR' logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes] *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the authorization provider vector and contains common authz directives. [Brad Nicholes] *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes] *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes] *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to provider based. [Brad Nicholes] *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in seconds to cache a document. [Brian Akins , Ruediger Pluem] *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew] *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message. [Christophe Jaillet ] *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane] *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed. This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane] *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh] *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane] *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion [Brian Pane] *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive, allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1") [Martin Kraemer, David Reid] [Apache 2.1.0-dev includes those bug fixes and changes with the Apache 2.2.xx tree as documented, and except as noted, below.] Changes with Apache 2.2.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/CHANGES?view=markup Changes with Apache 2.0.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/CHANGES?view=markup Changes with Apache 1.3.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/1.3.x/src/CHANGES?view=markup
