Changes with Apache 2.4.28

  *) core: Disallow Methods' registration at runtime (.htaccess), they may be
     used only if registered at init time (httpd.conf).  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ssl, ab: Fix compatibility with LibreSSL.  PR 61184.
     [Bernard Spil <brnrd freebsd.org>, Michael Schlenker <msc contact.de>,
      Yann Ylavic]

  *) core/log: Support use of optional "tag" in syslog entries.
     PR 60525. [Ben Rubson <ben.rubson gmail.com>, Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix ProxyAddHeaders merging.  [Joe Orton]
 
  *) core: Disallow multiple Listen on the same IP:port when listener buckets
     are configured (ListenCoresBucketsRatio > 0), consistently with the single
     bucket case (default), thus avoiding the leak of the corresponding socket
     descriptors on graceful restart.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) event: Avoid listener periodic wake ups by using the pollset wake-ability
     when available.  PR 57399.  [Yann Ylavic, Luca Toscano]

  *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Fix detection of unresponded request which could have
     led to spurious HTTP 502 error messages sent on upgrade connections.
     PR 61283.  [Yann Ylavic]

Changes with Apache 2.4.27

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-9789 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_http2: Read after free. When under stress, closing many connections,
     the HTTP/2 handling code would sometimes access memory after it has been
     freed, resulting in potentially erratic behaviour.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-9788 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_auth_digest: Uninitialized memory reflection.  The value placeholder
     in [Proxy-]Authorization headers type 'Digest' was not initialized or
     reset before or between successive key=value assignments.
     [William Rowe]

  *) COMPATIBILITY: mod_lua: Remove the undocumented exported 'apr_table'
     global variable when using Lua 5.2 or later. This was exported as a
     side effect from luaL_register, which is no longer supported as of
     Lua 5.2 which deprecates pollution of the global namespace.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) COMPATIBILITY: mod_http2: Disable and give warning when using Prefork.
     The server will continue to run, but HTTP/2 will no longer be negotiated.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) COMPATIBILITY: mod_proxy_fcgi: Revert to 2.4.20 FCGI behavior for the
     default ProxyFCGIBackendType, fixing a regression with PHP-FPM. PR 61202.
     [Jacob Champion, Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_lua: Improve compatibility with Lua 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
     PR58188, PR60831, PR61245. [Rainer Jung]
  
  *) mod_http2: Simplify ready queue, less memory and better performance. Update
     mod_http2 version to 1.10.7. [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) Allow single-char field names inadvertently disallowed in 2.4.25.
     PR 61220. [Yann Ylavic]

  *) htpasswd / htdigest: Do not apply the strict permissions of the temporary
     passwd file to a possibly existing passwd file. PR 61240. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) core: Avoid duplicate HEAD in Allow header.
     This is a regression in 2.4.24 (unreleased), 2.4.25 and 2.4.26.
     PR 61207. [Christophe Jaillet]

Changes with Apache 2.4.26

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7679 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_mime can read one byte past the end of a buffer when sending a
     malicious Content-Type response header.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7668 (cve.mitre.org)
     The HTTP strict parsing changes added in 2.2.32 and 2.4.24 introduced a
     bug in token list parsing, which allows ap_find_token() to search past
     the end of its input string. By maliciously crafting a sequence of
     request headers, an attacker may be able to cause a segmentation fault,
     or to force ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value.
     [Jacob Champion]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7659 (cve.mitre.org)
     A maliciously constructed HTTP/2 request could cause mod_http2 to
     dereference a NULL pointer and crash the server process.

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-3169 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call
     ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port.
     [Yann Ylavic]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-3167 (cve.mitre.org)
     Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules outside of the
     authentication phase may lead to authentication requirements being
     bypassed.
     [Emmanuel Dreyfus <manu netbsd.org>, Jacob Champion, Eric Covener]

  *) HTTP/2 support no longer tagged as "experimental" but is instead considered
     fully production ready.

  *) mod_http2: Fix for possible CPU busy loop introduced in v1.10.3 where a stream may keep
     the session in continuous check for state changes that never happen. 
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Add "upgrade" parameter to allow upgrade to other
     protocols.  [Jean-Frederic Clere]

  *) MPMs unix: Place signals handlers and helpers out of DSOs to avoid
     a possible crash if a signal is caught during (graceful) restart.
     PR 60487.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_rewrite: When a substitution is a fully qualified URL, and the 
     scheme/host/port matches the current virtual host, stop interpreting the 
     path component as a local path just because the first component of the 
     path exists in the filesystem.  Adds RewriteOption "LegacyPrefixDocRoot" 
     to revert to previous behavior. PR60009.
     [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
 
  *) core: ap_parse_form_data() URL-decoding doesn't work on EBCDIC
     platforms. PR61124. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]

  *) ab: enable option processing for setting a custom HTTP method also for
     non-SSL builds.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) core: EBCDIC fixes for interim responses with additional headers.
     [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_env: when processing a 'SetEnv' directive, warn if the environment
     variable name includes a '='. It is likely a configuration error.
     PR 60249 [Christophe Jaillet]

  *) Evaluate nested If/ElseIf/Else configuration blocks.
     [Luca Toscano, Jacob Champion]

  *) mod_rewrite: Add 'BNP' (backreferences-no-plus) flag to RewriteRule to 
     allow spaces in backreferences to be encoded as %20 instead of '+'.
     [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_rewrite: Add the possibility to limit the escaping to specific
     characters in backreferences by listing them in the B flag.
     [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_substitute: Fix spurious AH01328 (Line too long) errors on EBCDIC
     systems.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_http2: fail requests without ERROR log in case we need to read interim
     responses and see only garbage. This can happen if proxied servers send
     data where none should be, e.g. a body for a HEAD request. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for Reverse Proxy Request headers.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: fixed possible deadlock that could occur when connections were 
     terminated early with ongoing streams. Fixed possible hanger with timeout
     on race when connection considers itself idle. [Stefan Eissing]  

  *) mod_http2: MaxKeepAliveRequests now limits the number of times a 
     slave connection gets reused. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_brotli: Add a new module for dynamic Brotli (RFC 7932) compression.
     [Evgeny Kotkov]

  *) mod_proxy_http2: Fixed bug in re-attempting proxy requests after 
     connection error. Reliability of reconnect handling improved. 
     [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: better performance, eliminated need for nested locks and
     thread privates. Moving request setups from the main connection to the
     worker threads. Increase number of spare connections kept.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: input buffering and dynamic flow windows for increased 
     throughput. Requires nghttp2 >= v1.5.0 features. Announced at startup
     in mod_http2 INFO log as feature 'DWINS'. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: h2 workers with improved scalability for better scheduling
     performance. There are H2MaxWorkers threads created at start and the
     number is kept constant for now. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: obsoleted option H2SessionExtraFiles, will be ignored and
     just log a warning. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_autoindex: Add IndexOptions UseOldDateFormat to allow the date
     format from 2.2 in the Last Modified column. PR60846.
     [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
 
  *) core: Add %{REMOTE_PORT} to the expression parser. PR59938
     [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]

  *) mod_cache: Fix a regression in 2.4.25 for the forward proxy case by
     computing and using the same entity key according to when the cache
     checks, loads and saves the request.
     PR 60577.  [Yann Ylavic]
  
  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Don't validate timed out responses.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Ensure thread-safety when concurrent healthchecks are
     in use (ProxyHCTPsize > 0).  PR 60071.  [Yann Ylavic, Jim Jagielski]

  *) core: %{DOCUMENT_URI} used in nested SSI expressions should point to the
     URI originally requsted by the user, not the nested documents URI. This
     restores the behavior of this variable to match the "legacy" SSI parser.
     PR60624. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Add ProxyFCGISetEnvIf to fixup CGI environment
     variables just before invoking the FastCGI. [Eric Covener,
     Jacob Champion]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Return to 2.4.20-and-earlier behavior of leaving
     a "proxy:fcgi://" prefix in the SCRIPT_FILENAME environment variable by
     default.  Add ProxyFCGIBackendType to allow the type of backend to be
     specified so these kinds of fixups can be restored without impacting
     FPM. PR60576 [Eric Covener, Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_ssl: work around leaks on (graceful) restart. [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0. [Rainer Jung]

  *) Don't set SO_REUSEPORT unless ListenCoresBucketsRatio is greater
     than zero.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_http2: moving session cleanup to pre_close hook to avoid races with
     modules already shut down and slave connections still operating.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_lua: Support for Lua 5.3

  *) mod_proxy_http2: support for ProxyPreserverHost directive. [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: fix for crash when running out of memory.
     [Robert Swiecki <robert swiecki.net>, Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Return HTTP 504 rather than 503 in case of proxy timeout.
     [Luca Toscano]

  *) mod_http2: not counting file buckets again stream max buffer limits. 
     Effectively transfering static files in one step from slave to master 
     connection. [Stefan Eissing]
    
  *) mod_http2: comforting ap_check_pipeline() on slave connections
     to facilitate reuse (see https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/128).
     [Stefan Eissing, reported by Armin Abfalterer]
     
  *) mod_http2: http/2 streams now with state handling/transitions as defined
     in RFC7540. Stream cleanup/connection shutdown reworked to become easier
     to understand/maintain/debug. Added many asserts on state and cleanup 
     transitions. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_auth_digest: Use an anonymous shared memory segment by default,
     preventing startup failure after unclean shutdown.  PR 54622.

  *) mod_http2: regression fix on PR 59348, on graceful restart, ongoing 
     streams are finished normally before the final GOAWAY is sent. 
     [Stefan Eissing, <slavko gmail.com>]

  *) mod_proxy: Allow the per-request environment variable "no-proxy" to
     be used as an alternative to ProxyPass /path !. This is primarily
     to set exceptions for ProxyPass specified in <Location> context.
     Use SetEnvIf, not SetEnv. PR 60458.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_http2: fixes PR60599, sending proper response for conditional requests
     answered by mod_cache. [Jeff Wheelhouse, Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: rework of stream resource cleanup to avoid a crash in a close
     of a lingering connection. Prohibit special file bucket beaming for
     shared buckets. Files sent in stream output now use the stream pool
     as read buffer, reducing memory footprint of connections.
     [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_fcgi, mod_fcgid: Fix crashes in ap_fcgi_encoded_env_len() when
     modules add empty environment variables to the request. PR 60275.
     [<alex2grad AT gmail.com>]

  *) mod_http2: fix for possible page fault when stream is resumed during 
     session shutdown. [sidney-j-r-m (github)]
     
  *) mod_http2: fix for h2 session ignoring new responses while already
     open streams continue to have data available. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: adding support for MergeTrailers directive. [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: limiting DATA frame sizes by TLS record sizes in use on the 
     connection. Flushing outgoing frames earlier. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: cleanup beamer registry on server reload.  PR 60510.
     [Pavel Mateja <pavel verotel.cz>, Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_{ajp,fcgi}: Fix a possible crash when reusing an established
     backend connection, happening with LogLevel trace2 or higher configured,
     or at any log level with compilers not detected as C99 compliant (e.g.
     MSVC on Windows).  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ext_filter: Don't interfere with "error buckets" issued by other
     modules. PR 60375.  [Eric Covener, Lubos Uhliarik]

     [Rainer Jung]

Changes with Apache 2.4.24 (not released)

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2016-8740 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_http2: Mitigate DoS memory exhaustion via endless
     CONTINUATION frames.
     [Naveen Tiwari <naveen.tiwari@asu.edu> and CDF/SEFCOM at Arizona State
     University, Stefan Eissing]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2016-2161 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_auth_digest: Prevent segfaults during client entry allocation when
     the shared memory space is exhausted.
     [Maksim Malyutin <m.malyutin dsec.ru>, Eric Covener, Jacob Champion]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2016-0736 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_session_crypto: Authenticate the session data/cookie with a
     MAC (SipHash) to prevent deciphering or tampering with a padding
     oracle attack.  [Yann Ylavic, Colm MacCarthaigh]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2016-8743 (cve.mitre.org)
     Enforce HTTP request grammar corresponding to RFC7230 for request lines
     and request headers, to prevent response splitting and cache pollution by
     malicious clients or downstream proxies. [William Rowe, Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Validate HTTP response header grammar defined by RFC7230, resulting
     in a 500 error in the event that invalid response header contents are
     detected when serving the response, to avoid response splitting and cache
     pollution by malicious clients, upstream servers or faulty modules.
     [Stefan Fritsch, Eric Covener, Yann Ylavic]

  *) core: Mitigate [f]cgi CVE-2016-5387 "httpoxy" issues.
     [Dominic Scheirlinck <dominic vendhq.com>, Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_socache_memcache: Provide memcache stats to mod_status.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) http_filters: Fix potential looping in new check_headers() due to new
     pattern of ap_die() from http header filter. Explicitly clear the
     previous headers and body.

  *) core: Drop Content-Length header and message-body from HTTP 204 responses.
     PR 51350 [Luca Toscano]

  *) mod_proxy: Honor a server scoped ProxyPass exception when ProxyPass is
     configured in <Location>, like in 2.2. PR 60458.

  *) mod_lua: Fix default value of LuaInherit directive. It should be 
     'parent-first' instead of 'none', as per documentation.  PR 60419
     [Christophe Jaillet]

  *) core: New directive HttpProtocolOptions to control httpd enforcement
     of various RFC7230 requirements. [Stefan Fritsch, William Rowe]

  *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2EarlyHints' to enable sending of HTTP status
     103 interim responses. Disabled by default. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_ssl: Fix quick renegotiation (OptRenegotiaton) with no intermediate
     in the client certificate chain.  PR 55786.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) event: Allow to use the whole allocated scoreboard (up to ServerLimit
     slots) to avoid scoreboard full errors when some processes are finishing
     gracefully. Also, make gracefully finishing processes close all
     keep-alive connections. PR 53555. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_dav: Fix a potential cause of unbounded memory usage or incorrect
     behavior in a routine that sends <DAV:response>'s to the output filters.
     [Evgeny Kotkov]

  *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2PushResource' to enable early pushes before 
     processing of the main request starts. Resources are announced to the 
     client in Link headers on a 103 early hint response. 
     All responses with status code <400 are inspected for Link header and
     trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes.
     'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher
     priority than the main resource. This leads to preferred scheduling for
     processing and, when content is available, will send it first. 'critical'
     is also recognized on Link headers. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: uris in Link headers are now mapped back to a suitable
     local url when available. Relative uris with an absolute path are mapped
     as well. This makes reverse proxy mapping available for resources
     announced in this header. 
     With 103 interim responses being forwarded to the main client connection,
     this effectively allows early pushing of resources by a reverse proxied
     backend server. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for newly proposed 103 status code.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mpm_unix: Apache fails to start if previously crashed then restarted with
     the same PID (e.g. in container).  PR 60261.

  *) mod_proxy_http2: improved robustness when main connection is closed early
     by resetting all ongoing streams against the backend.

  *) http: Respond with "408 Request Timeout" when a timeout occurs while
     reading the request body.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_http2: connection shutdown revisited: corrected edge cases on
     shutting down ongoing streams, changed log warnings to be less noisy
     when waiting on long running tasks. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: changed all AP_DEBUG_ASSERT to ap_assert to have them 
     available also in normal deployments. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: 100-continue handling now properly implemented
     up to the backend. Reused HTTP/2 proxy connections with more than a second
     not used will block request bodies until a PING answer is received.
     Requests headers are not delayed by this, since they are repeatable in
     case of failure. This greatly increases robustness, especially with
     busy server and/or low keepalive connections. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed duplicate symbols with mod_http2.

     and streams, stability. Heuristic id generation for slave connections
     to better keep promise of connection ids unique at given point int time.
     Fix for mod_cgid interop in high load situtations. 
     Fix for handling of incoming trailers when no request body is sent.

  *) mod_http2: fixed apr_uint64_t formatting in a log statement to user proper 
     APR def, thanks to @Sp1l.

  *) mod_http2: number of worker threads allowed to a connection is adjusting 
     dynamically. Starting with 4, the number is doubled when streams can be 
     served without block on http/2 connection flow. The number is halfed, when
     the server has to wait on client flow control grants. 
     This can happen with a maximum frequency of 5 times per second. 
     When a connection occupies too many workers, repeatable requests 
     (GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) are cancelled and placed back in the queue. Should that 
     not suffice and a stream is busy longer than the server timeout, the 
     connection will be aborted with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM.
     This does *not* limit the number of streams a client may open, rather the
     number of server threads a connection might use.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: reworked connection state handling. Idle connections accept a
     GOAWAY from the client without further reply. Otherwise the
     module makes a best effort to send one last GOAWAY to the client.

  *) mod_http2: the values from standard directives Timeout and KeepAliveTimeout
     properly are applied to http/2 connections.

  *) mod_http2: reworked deallocation on connection shutdown and worker
     abort. Separate parent pool for all workers. worker threads are joined
     on planned worker shutdown. [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_ssl: when receiving requests for other virtual hosts than the handshake
     server, the SSL parameters are checked for equality. With equal 
     configuration, requests are passed for processing. Any change will trigger
     the old behaviour of "421 Misdirected Request".
     SSL now remembers the cipher suite that was used for the last handshake.
     This is compared against for any vhost/directory cipher specification. 
     Detailed examination of renegotiation is only done when these do not
     match.

  *) mod_ssl: Make the ssl expression parser thread-safe. It now requires
     bison instead of yacc. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Change on-disk header file format to support the
     link of the device/inode of the data file to the matching header
     file, and to support the option of not writing a data file when
     the data file is empty. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core/mod_unique_id: Add generate_log_id hook to allow to use
     the ID generated by mod_unique_id as error log ID for requests.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_cache: Make sure that we never allow a 304 Not Modified response
     that we asked for to leak to the client should the 304 response be
     uncacheable. PR45341 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Add the cache_status hook to register the final cache
     decision hit/miss/revalidate. Add optional support for an X-Cache
     and/or an X-Cache-Detail header to add the cache status to the
     response. PR48241 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_authz_host: Add 'local' provider that matches connections originating
     on the local host. PR 19938. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Event MPM: Fix crash accessing pollset on worker thread when child
     process is exiting.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: For process invocation (cgi, fcgid, piped loggers and so forth)
     pass the system library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or platform-specific
     variables) along with the system PATH, by default.  Both should be
     overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
     [William Rowe]

  *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
     capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
     against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
     This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
     comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt.  To help bash users and drop
     the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
     symlink test operators.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_cache: Give the cache provider the opportunity to choose to cache
     or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
     presence of a FILE bucket.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_authz_core: Allow authz providers to check args while reading the

     provider depending on the HTTP method.  [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_include: Move the request_rec within mod_include to be
     exposed within include_ctx_t. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_include: Reinstate support for UTF-8 character sets by allowing a
     variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
     steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
     mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
     provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
     to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
     fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
     set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
     within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
     and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
     gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
     passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
     This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
     occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
     CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
     the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
     additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
     error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
     lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Disable sendfile by default. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
     to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
     no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
     behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
     of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
     when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cgid: Log a warning if the ScriptSock path is truncated because
     it is too long. PR 49388.  [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) vhosts: Do not allow _default_ in NameVirtualHost, or mixing *
     and non-* ports on NameVirtualHost, or multiple NameVirtualHost
     directives for the same address:port, or NameVirtualHost
     directives with no matching VirtualHosts, or multiple ip-based
     VirtualHost sections for the same address:port.  These were
     previously accepted with a warning, but the behavior was
     undefined.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) authz: Fix handling of authz configurations, make default authz
     logic replicate 2.2.x authz logic, and replace <Satisfy*>, Reject,
     and AuthzMergeRules directives with Match, <Match*>, and AuthzMerge
     directives.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) mod_authn_core: Prevent crash when provider alias created to
     provider which is not yet registered.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) mod_authn_core: Add AuthType of None to support disabling
     authentication.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) core: Allow <Limit> and <LimitExcept> directives to nest, and
     constrain their use to conform with that of other access control
     and authorization directives.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) unixd: turn existing code into a module, and turn the set user/group
     and chroot into a child_init function. [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_dir: Support "DirectoryIndex disabled"
     Suggested By André Warnier <aw ice-sa.com> [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_ssl: Send Content-Type application/ocsp-request for POST requests to
     OSCP responders. PR 46014 [Dr Stephen Henson <steve openssl.org>]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: don't return NULL-valued environment variables to
     other modules.  PR 39045 [Francois Pesce <francois.pesce gmail.com>]

  *) Don't adjust case in pathname components that are not of interest
     to mod_mime.  Fixes mod_negotiation's use of such components.
     PR 43250 [Basant Kumar Kukreja <basant.kukreja sun.com>]

  *) Be tolerant in what you accept - accept slightly broken
     status lines from a backend provided they include a valid status code.
     PR 44995 [Rainer Jung <rainer.jung kippdata.de>]

  *) New module mod_sed: filter Request/Response bodies through sed
     [Basant Kumar Kukreja <basant.kukreja sun.com>]

  *) mod_auth_form: Make sure that basic authentication is correctly
     faked directly after login. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session_cookie, mod_session_dbd: Make sure cookies are set both
     within the output headers and error output headers, so that the
     session is maintained across redirects. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_auth_form: Make sure the logged in user is populated correctly
     after a form login. Fixes a missing REMOTE_USER variable directly
     following a login. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session_cookie: Make sure that cookie attributes are correctly
     included in the blank cookie when cookies are removed. This fixes an
     inability to log out when using mod_auth_form. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session: Prevent a segfault when a CGI script sets a cookie with a
     null value. [David Shane Holden <dpejesh apache.org>]

  *) core, authn/z: Determine registered authn/z providers directly in
     ap_setup_auth_internal(), which allows optional functions that just
     wrapped ap_list_provider_names() to be removed from authn/z modules.
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) authn/z: Convert common provider version strings to macros.
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) core: When testing for slash-terminated configuration paths in
     ap_location_walk(), don't look past the start of an empty string
     such as that created by a <Location ""> directive.
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) core, mod_proxy: If a kept_body is present, it becomes safe for
     subrequests to support message bodies. Make sure that safety
     checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered
     when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed
     proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_auth_form: Make sure the input filter stack is properly set
     up before reading the login form. Make sure the kept body filter
     is correctly inserted to ensure the body can be read a second
     time safely should the authn be successful. [Graham Leggett,
     Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_request: Insert the KEPT_BODY filter via the insert_filter
     hook instead of during fixups. Add a safety check to ensure the
     filters cannot be inserted more than once. [Graham Leggett,
     Ruediger Pluem]

  *) ap_cache_cacheable_headers_out() will (now) always
     merge an error headers _before_ clearing them and _before_
     merging in the actual entity headers and doing normal
     hop-by-hop cleansing. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

  *) cache: retire ap_cache_cacheable_hdrs_out() which was used
     for both in- and out-put headers; and replace it by a single
     ap_cache_cacheable_headers() wrapped in a in- and out-put
     specific ap_cache_cacheable_headers_in()/out(). The latter
     which will also merge error and ensure content-type. To keep
     cache modules consistent with ease. This API change bumps
     up the minor MM by one [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

  *) Move the KeptBodySize directive, kept_body filters and the
     ap_parse_request_body function out of the http module and into a
     new module called mod_request, reducing the size of the core.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_dbd: Handle integer configuration directive parameters with a
     dedicated function.

  *) Change the directives within the mod_session* modules to be valid
     both inside and outside the location/directory sections, as
     suggested by wrowe. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_auth_form: Add a module capable of allowing end users to log
     in using an HTML form, storing the credentials within mod_session.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Add a function to the http filters that is able to parse an HTML
     form request with the type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session_crypto: Initialise SSL in the post config hook.
     [Ruediger Pluem, Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session_dbd: Add a session implementation capable of storing
     session information in a SQL database via the dbd interface. Useful
     for sites where session privacy is important. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session_crypto: Add a session encoding implementation capable
     of encrypting and decrypting sessions wherever they may be stored.
     Introduces a level of privacy when sessions are stored on the
     browser. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session_cookie: Add a session implementation capable of storing
     session information within cookies on the browser. Useful for high
     volume sites where server bound sessions are too resource intensive.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_session: Add a generic session interface to unify the different
     attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests
     with configurations which match those of initial request.  Revert to
     original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests
     with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or
     providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.
     Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration
     which can accept additional mode and flag data.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) Introduced ap_expr API for expression evaluation.
     This is adapted from mod_include, which is the first module
     to use the new API.
     [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_authz_dbd: When redirecting after successful login/logout per
     AuthzDBDRedirectQuery, do not report authorization failure, and use
     first row returned by database query instead of last row.
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) mod_ldap: Correctly return all requested attribute values
     when some attributes have a null value.
     PR 44560 [Anders Kaseorg <anders kaseorg.com>]

  *) core: check symlink ownership if both FollowSymlinks and
     SymlinksIfOwnerMatch are set [Nick Kew]

  *) core: fix origin checking in SymlinksIfOwnerMatch

  *) Activate mod_cache, mod_file_cache and mod_disk_cache as part of the
     'most' set for '--enable-modules' and '--enable-shared-mods'. Include
     mod_mem_cache in 'all' as well. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

  *) Also install mod_so.h, mod_rewrite.h and mod_cache.h; as these
     contain public function declarations which are useful for
     third party module authors. PR 42431 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

  *) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: pass the output filter information
     to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used
     as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
     mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
     [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)
     for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct
     searches on LDAP servers (in particular MS Active Directory 2003+)
     using referrals without the use of the global catalog.
     PRs 26538, 40268, and 42557 [Paul J. Reder]

  *) ApacheMonitor.exe: Introduce --kill argument for use by the
     installer.  This will permit the installation tool to remove
     all running instances before attempting to remove the .exe.
     [William Rowe]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for OCSP validation of client certificates.
     PR 41123.  [Marc Stern <marc.stern approach.be>, Joe Orton]

  *) mod_serf: New module for Reverse Proxying. [Paul Querna]

  *) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain
     size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
     such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
     to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
     requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix TLS upgrade (RFC 2817) support.  PR 41231.  [Joe Orton]

  *) scoreboard: Correctly declare ap_time_process_request.
     PR 43789 [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]

  *) core; scoreboard: ap_get_scoreboard_worker(sbh) now takes the sbh member
     from the connection rec, ap_get_scoreboard_worker(proc, thread) will now

     PR 42572 [Davi Arnaut]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap, mod_authn_dbd: Tidy up the code to expose authn
     parameters to the environment. Improve portability to
     EBCDIC machines by using apr_toupper(). [Martin Kraemer]

  *) mod_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
     to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
     where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.
     PR 42891 [Paul J. Reder]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for caching SSL Sessions in memcached. [Paul Querna]

  *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values

  *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
     cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
     on Win32.  PR 40476.  [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]

  *) 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_<COLUMN>. 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 <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) 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]

  *) 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 <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) 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.

  *) 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 '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
     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 <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]

  *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
     [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]

  *) 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")
