[Stefan Fritsch] *) core: Add and to complement sections. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_ext_filter: Remove DebugLevel option in favor of per-module loglevel. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_include: Make the "#if expr" element use the new "ap_expr" expression parser. The old parser can still be used by setting the new directive SSILegacyExprParser. [Stefan Fritsch] *) core: Add some features to ap_expr for use by mod_include: a restricted mode that does not allow to bypass request access restrictions; new variables DOCUMENT_URI (alias for REQUEST_URI), LAST_MODIFIED; -A as an alias for -U; an additional data entry in ap_expr_eval_ctx_t for use by the consumer; an extensible ap_expr_exec_ctx() API that allows to use that data entry.

[Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 2.3.11 *) mod_win32: Added shebang check for '! so that .vbs scripts work as CGI. Win32's cscript interpreter can only use a single quote as comment char. [Guenter Knauf] *) mod_proxy: balancer-manager now uses POST instead of GET. [Jim Jagielski] *) core: new util function: ap_parse_form_data(). Previously, this capability was tucked away in mod_request. [Jim Jagielski] *) core: new hook: ap_run_pre_read_request. [Jim Jagielski] *) mod_cache: When a request other than GET or HEAD arrives, we must invalidate existing cache entities as per RFC2616 13.10. PR 15868. [Graham Leggett] *) modules: Fix many modules that were not correctly initializing if they were not active during server startup but got enabled later during a graceful restart.

[Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_proxy: Runtime configuration of many parameters for existing balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski] *) mod_proxy: Runtime addition of new workers (BalancerMember) for existing balancers via the balancer-manager.

[Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_authn_socache: change directive name from AuthnCacheProvider to AuthnCacheProvideFor. The term "provider" is overloaded in this module, and we should avoid confusion between the provider of a backend (AuthnCacheSOCache) and the authn provider(s) for which this module provides cacheing (AuthnCacheProvideFor). [Nick Kew] *) mod_proxy_http: Allocate the fake backend request from a child pool of the backend connection, instead of misusing the pool of the frontend request. Fixes a thread safety issue where buckets set aside in the backend connection leak into other threads, and then disappear when the frontend request is cleaned up, in turn causing corrupted buckets to make other threads spin. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_ssl: Change the format of the SSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_{I,S}_DN variables to be RFC 2253 compatible, convert non-ASCII characters to UTF8, and escape other special characters with backslashes.

[Malte S. Stretz ] *) core: When selecting an IP-based virtual host, favor an exact match for the port over a wildcard (or omitted) port instead of favoring the one that came first in the configuration file. [Eric Covener] *) core: Overlapping virtual host address/port combinations now implicitly enable name-based virtual hosting for that address. The NameVirtualHost directive has no effect, and _default_ is interpreted the same as "*".
