3 Changes with Apache 2.3.13
5 *) mod_cache: When content is served stale, and there is no means to
6 revalidate the content using ETag or Last-Modified, and we have
7 mandated no stale-on-error behaviour, stand down and don't cache.
8 Saves a cache write that will never be read.
11 *) mod_reqtimeout: Fix a timed out connection going into the keep-alive
12 state after a timeout when discarding a request body. PR 51103.
15 *) core: Add various file existance test operators to ap_expr.
18 *) mod_proxy_express: New mass reverse-proxy switch extension for
19 mod_proxy. [Jim Jagielski]

32 [Scott Hill <shill genscape.com>]
34 *) support: Make sure check_forensic works with mod_unique_id loaded
37 *) Add child_status hook for tracking creation/termination of MPM child
38 processes. Add end_generation hook for notification when the last
39 MPM child of a generation exits. [Jeff Trawick]
41 *) mod_ldap: Make LDAPSharedCacheSize 0 create a non-shared-memory cache per
42 process as opposed to disabling caching completely. This allows to use
43 the non-shared-memory cache as a workaround for the shared memory cache
44 not being available during graceful restarts. PR 48958. [Stefan Fritsch]
46 *) Add new ap_reserve_module_slots/ap_reserve_module_slots_directive API,
47 necessary if a module (like mod_perl) registers additional modules late
48 in the startup phase. [Stefan Fritsch]
50 *) core: Prevent segfault if DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT is reached. PR 51072.

72 *) core: Change the APIs of ap_cfg_getline() and ap_cfg_getc() to return an
73 error code. Abort with a nice error message if a config line is too long.
74 Partial fix for PR 50824. [Stefan Fritsch]

88 <torsten.foertsch gmx.net>]
90 *) core: AllowEncodedSlashes new option NoDecode to allow encoded slashes
91 in request URL path info but not decode them. Change behavior of option
92 "On" to decode the encoded slashes as 2.0 and 2.2 do. PR 35256,
93 PR 46830. [Dan Poirier]
95 *) mod_ssl: Check SNI hostname against Host header case-insensitively.
96 PR 49491. [Mayank Agrawal <magrawal.08 gmail.com>]
98 *) mod_ldap: Add LDAPConnectionPoolTTL to give control over lifetime
99 of bound backend LDAP connections. PR47634 [Eric Covener]
101 *) mod_cache: Make CacheEnable and CacheDisable configurable per
102 directory in addition to per server, making them work from within
103 a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]
105 *) worker, event, prefork: Correct several issues when built as
106 DSOs; most notably, the scoreboard was reinitialized during graceful
107 restart, such that processes of the previous generation were not
108 observable. [Jeff Trawick]
110 Changes with Apache 2.3.11
112 *) mod_win32: Added shebang check for '! so that .vbs scripts work as CGI.
113 Win32's cscript interpreter can only use a single quote as comment char.
116 *) mod_proxy: balancer-manager now uses POST instead of GET.
119 *) core: new util function: ap_parse_form_data(). Previously,
120 this capability was tucked away in mod_request. [Jim Jagielski]
122 *) core: new hook: ap_run_pre_read_request. [Jim Jagielski]
124 *) mod_cache: When a request other than GET or HEAD arrives, we must
125 invalidate existing cache entities as per RFC2616 13.10. PR 15868.
128 *) modules: Fix many modules that were not correctly initializing if they
129 were not active during server startup but got enabled later during a
130 graceful restart. [Stefan Fritsch]
132 *) core: Create new ap_state_query function that allows modules to determine
133 if the current configuration run is the initial one at server startup,
134 and if the server is started for testing/config dumping only.
137 *) mod_proxy: Runtime configuration of many parameters for existing
138 balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]
140 *) mod_proxy: Runtime addition of new workers (BalancerMember) for existing
141 balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]
143 *) mod_cache: When a bad Expires date is present, we need to behave as if
144 the Expires is in the past, not as if the Expires is missing. PR 16521.

167 PR 50434 [Stefan Fritsch]
169 *) core: Add support to set variables with the 'Define' directive. The
170 variables that can then be used in the config using the ${VAR} syntax
171 known from envvar interpolation. [Stefan Fritsch]

174 ProxyAddHeaders defaults to On. [Vincent Deffontaines]
176 *) mod_slotmem_shm: Increase memory alignment for slotmem data.
179 *) mod_ssl: Add config options for OCSP: SSLOCSPResponderTimeout,
180 SSLOCSPResponseMaxAge, SSLOCSPResponseTimeSkew.
181 [Kaspar Brand <httpd-dev.2011 velox.ch>]
183 *) mod_ssl: Revamp output buffering to reduce network overhead for
184 output fragmented into many buckets, such as chunked HTTP responses.
187 *) core: Apply <If> sections to all requests, not only to file base requests.
188 Allow to use <If> inside <Directory>, <Location>, and <Files> sections.
189 The merging of <If> sections now happens after the merging of <Location>
190 sections, even if an <If> section is embedded inside a <Directory> or
191 <Files> section. [Stefan Fritsch]
193 *) mod_proxy: Refactor usage of shared data by dropping the scoreboard
194 and using slotmem. Create foundation for dynamic growth/changes of
195 members within a balancer. Remove BalancerNonce in favor of a
196 per-balancer 'nonce' parameter. [Jim Jagielski]
198 *) mod_status: Don't show slots which are disabled by MaxClients as open.
199 PR: 47022 [Jordi Prats <jordi prats gmail com>, Stefan Fritsch]
201 *) mpm_prefork: Fix ap_mpm_query results for AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS and
204 *) mod_authz_core: Fix bug in merging logic if user-based and non-user-based
205 authorization directives were mixed. [Stefan Fritsch]
207 *) mod_authn_socache: change directive name from AuthnCacheProvider
208 to AuthnCacheProvideFor. The term "provider" is overloaded in
209 this module, and we should avoid confusion between the provider
210 of a backend (AuthnCacheSOCache) and the authn provider(s) for
211 which this module provides cacheing (AuthnCacheProvideFor).
214 *) mod_proxy_http: Allocate the fake backend request from a child pool
215 of the backend connection, instead of misusing the pool of the frontend
216 request. Fixes a thread safety issue where buckets set aside in the
217 backend connection leak into other threads, and then disappear when
218 the frontend request is cleaned up, in turn causing corrupted buckets
219 to make other threads spin. [Graham Leggett]
221 *) mod_ssl: Change the format of the SSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_{I,S}_DN variables
222 to be RFC 2253 compatible, convert non-ASCII characters to UTF8, and
223 escape other special characters with backslashes. The old format can
224 still be used with the LegacyDNStringFormat argument to SSLOptions.
226 *) core, mod_rewrite: Make the REQUEST_SCHEME variable available to
227 scripts and mod_rewrite. [Stefan Fritsch]
229 *) mod_rewrite: Allow to use arbitrary boolean expressions (ap_expr) in
230 RewriteCond. [Stefan Fritsch]
232 *) mod_rewrite: Allow to unset environment variables using E=!VAR.
233 PR 49512. [Mark Drayton <mark markdrayton info>, Stefan Fritsch]
235 *) mod_headers: Restore the 2.3.8 and earlier default for the first
236 argument of the Header directive ("onsuccess"). [Eric Covener]
238 *) core: Disallow the mixing of relative and absolute Options PR 33708.
239 [Sönke Tesch <st kino-fahrplan.de>]
241 *) core: When exporting request headers to HTTP_* environment variables,
242 drop variables whose names contain invalid characters. Describe in the
243 docs how to restore the old behaviour. [Malte S. Stretz <mss apache org>]
245 *) core: When selecting an IP-based virtual host, favor an exact match for
246 the port over a wildcard (or omitted) port instead of favoring the one
247 that came first in the configuration file. [Eric Covener]
249 *) core: Overlapping virtual host address/port combinations now implicitly
250 enable name-based virtual hosting for that address. The NameVirtualHost
251 directive has no effect, and _default_ is interpreted the same as "*".
254 *) core: In the absence of any Options directives, the default is now
255 "FollowSymlinks" instead of "All". [Igor Galić]
257 *) rotatelogs: Add -e option to write logs through to stdout for optional
258 further processing. [Graham Leggett]
260 *) mod_ssl: Correctly read full lines in input filter when the line is
261 incomplete during first read. PR 50481. [Ruediger Pluem]
263 *) mod_authz_core: Add AuthzSendForbiddenOnFailure directive to allow
264 sending '403 FORBIDDEN' instead of '401 UNAUTHORIZED' if authorization
265 fails for an authenticated user. PR 40721. [Stefan Fritsch]
267 Changes with Apache 2.3.10
269 *) mod_rewrite: Don't implicitly URL-escape the original query string
270 when no substitution has changed it. PR 50447. [Eric Covener]
272 *) core: Honor 'AcceptPathInfo OFF' during internal redirects,
273 such as per-directory mod_rewrite substitutions. PR 50349.
276 *) mod_rewrite: Add 'RewriteOptions InheritBefore' to put the base
277 rules/conditions before the overridden rules/conditions. PR 39313.
278 [Jérôme Grandjanny <jerome.grandjanny cea.fr>]
280 *) mod_autoindex: add IndexIgnoreReset to reset the list of IndexIgnored
281 filenames in higher precedence configuration sections. PR 24243.
284 *) mod_cgid: RLimit* directive support for mod_cgid. PR 42135
287 *) core: Fail startup when the argument to ServerName looks like a glob
288 or a regular expression instead of a hostname (*?[]). PR 39863
289 [Rahul Nair <rahul.g.nair gmail.com>]
291 *) mod_userdir: Add merging of enable, disable, and filename arguments
292 to UserDir directive, leaving enable/disable of userlists unmerged.
293 PR 44076 [Eric Covener]
295 *) httpd: When no -k option is provided on the httpd command line, the server
296 was starting without checking for an existing pidfile. PR 50350
299 *) mod_proxy: Put the worker in error state if the SSL handshake with the
300 backend fails. PR 50332.
301 [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>, Ruediger Pluem]
303 *) mod_cache_disk: Fix Windows build which was broken after renaming
304 the module. [Gregg L. Smith]
306 Changes with Apache 2.3.9
308 *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-1623 (cve.mitre.org)
309 Fix a denial of service attack against mod_reqtimeout.
312 *) mod_headers: Change default first argument of Header directive
313 from "onsuccess" to "always". [Eric Covener]
315 *) mod_include: Add the onerror attribute to the include element,
316 allowing an URL to be specified to include on error. [Graham
319 *) mod_cache_disk: mod_disk_cache renamed to mod_cache_disk, to be
320 consistent with the naming of other modules. [Graham Leggett]
322 *) mod_setenvif: Add SetEnvIfExpr directive to set env var depending on
323 expression. [Stefan Fritsch]
325 *) mod_proxy: Fix ProxyPassInterpolateEnv directive. PR 50292.
328 *) suEXEC: Add Suexec directive to disable suEXEC without renaming the
329 binary (Suexec Off), or force startup failure if suEXEC is required
330 but not supported (Suexec On). Change SuexecUserGroup to fail
331 startup instead of just printing a warning if suEXEC is disabled.
334 *) core: Add Error directive for aborting startup or htaccess processing
335 with a specified error message. [Jeff Trawick]
337 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the RewriteEngine directive to work within a
338 location. Previously, once RewriteEngine was switched on globally,
339 it was impossible to switch off. [Graham Leggett]
341 *) core, mod_include, mod_ssl: Move the expression parser derived from
342 mod_include back into mod_include. Replace ap_expr with a parser
343 derived from mod_ssl's parser. Make mod_ssl use the new parser. Rework
344 ap_expr's public interface and provide hooks for modules to add variables
345 and functions. [Stefan Fritsch]
347 *) core: Do the hook sorting earlier so that the hooks are properly sorted
348 for the pre_config hook and during parsing the config. [Stefan Fritsch]
350 *) core: In the absence of any AllowOverride directives, the default is now
351 "None" instead of "All". PR49823 [Eric Covener]
353 *) mod_proxy: Don't allow ProxyPass or ProxyPassReverse in
354 <Directory> or <Files>. PR47765 [Eric Covener]
356 *) prefork/worker/event MPMS: default value (when no directive is present)
357 of MaxConnectionsPerChild/MaxRequestsPerChild is changed to 0 from 10000
358 to match default configuration and manual. PR47782 [Eric Covener]
360 *) proxy_connect: Don't give up in the middle of a CONNECT tunnel
361 when the child process is starting to exit. PR50220. [Eric Covener]
363 *) mod_autoindex: Fix inheritance of mod_autoindex directives into
364 contexts that don't have any mod_autoindex directives. PR47766.
367 *) mod_rewrite: Add END flag for RewriteRule to prevent further rounds
368 of rewrite processing when a per-directory substitution occurs.
371 *) mod_ssl: Make sure to always log an error if loading of CA certificates
372 fails. PR 40312. [Paul Tiemann <issues apache org ourdetour com>]
374 *) mod_dav: Send 501 error if unknown Content-* header is received for a PUT
375 request (RFC 2616 9.6). PR 42978. [Stefan Fritsch]
377 *) mod_dav: Send 400 error if malformed Content-Range header is received for
378 a put request (RFC 2616 14.16). PR 49825. [Stefan Fritsch]
380 *) mod_proxy: Release the backend connection as soon as EOS is detected,
381 so the backend isn't forced to wait for the client to eventually
382 acknowledge the data. [Graham Leggett]
384 *) mod_proxy: Optimise ProxyPass within a Location so that it is stored
385 per-directory, and chosen during the location walk. Make ProxyPass
386 work correctly from within a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]
388 *) core: Fix segfault if per-module LogLevel is on virtual host
389 scope. PR 50117. [Stefan Fritsch]
391 *) mod_proxy: Move the ProxyErrorOverride directive to have per
392 directory scope. [Graham Leggett]
394 *) mod_allowmethods: New module to deny certain HTTP methods without
395 interfering with authentication/authorization. [Paul Querna,
396 Igor Galić, Stefan Fritsch]
398 *) mod_ssl: Log certificate information and improve error message if client
399 cert verification fails. PR 50093, PR 50094. [Lassi Tuura <lat cern ch>,
402 *) htcacheclean: Teach htcacheclean to limit cache size by number of
403 inodes in addition to size of files. Prevents a cache disk from
404 running out of space when many small files are cached.
407 *) core: Rename MaxRequestsPerChild to MaxConnectionsPerChild, which
408 describes more accurately what the directive does. The old name
409 still works but logs a warning. [Stefan Fritsch]
411 *) mod_cache: Optionally serve stale data when a revalidation returns a
412 5xx response, controlled by the CacheStaleOnError directive.
415 *) htcacheclean: Allow the listing of valid URLs within the cache, with
416 the option to list entry metadata such as sizes and times. [Graham
419 *) mod_cache: correctly parse quoted strings in cache headers.
422 *) mod_cache: Allow control over the base URL of reverse proxied requests
423 using the CacheKeyBaseURL directive, so that the cache key can be
424 calculated from the endpoint URL instead of the server URL. [Graham
427 *) mod_cache: CacheLastModifiedFactor, CacheStoreNoStore, CacheStorePrivate,
428 CacheStoreExpired, CacheIgnoreNoLastMod, CacheDefaultExpire,
429 CacheMinExpire and CacheMaxExpire can be set per directory/location.
432 *) mod_disk_cache: CacheMaxFileSize, CacheMinFileSize, CacheReadSize and
433 CacheReadTime can be set per directory/location. [Graham Leggett]
435 *) core: Speed up config parsing if using a very large number of config
436 files. PR 50002 [andrew cloudaccess net]
438 *) mod_cache: Support the caching of HEAD requests. [Graham Leggett]
440 *) htcacheclean: Allow the option to round up file sizes to a given
441 block size, improving the accuracy of disk usage. [Graham Leggett]
443 *) mod_ssl: Add authz providers for use with mod_authz_core and its
444 RequireAny/RequireAll containers: 'ssl' (equivalent to SSLRequireSSL),
445 'ssl-verify-client' (for use with 'SSLVerifyClient optional'), and
446 'ssl-require' (expressions with same syntax as SSLRequire).
449 *) mod_ssl: Make the ssl expression parser thread-safe. It now requires
450 bison instead of yacc. [Stefan Fritsch]
452 *) mod_disk_cache: Change on-disk header file format to support the
453 link of the device/inode of the data file to the matching header
454 file, and to support the option of not writing a data file when
455 the data file is empty. [Graham Leggett]
457 *) core/mod_unique_id: Add generate_log_id hook to allow to use
458 the ID generated by mod_unique_id as error log ID for requests.
461 *) mod_cache: Make sure that we never allow a 304 Not Modified response
462 that we asked for to leak to the client should the 304 response be
463 uncacheable. PR45341 [Graham Leggett]
465 *) mod_cache: Add the cache_status hook to register the final cache
466 decision hit/miss/revalidate. Add optional support for an X-Cache
467 and/or an X-Cache-Detail header to add the cache status to the
468 response. PR48241 [Graham Leggett]
470 *) mod_authz_host: Add 'local' provider that matches connections originating
471 on the local host. PR 19938. [Stefan Fritsch]
473 *) Event MPM: Fix crash accessing pollset on worker thread when child
474 process is exiting. [Jeff Trawick]
476 *) core: For process invocation (cgi, fcgid, piped loggers and so forth)
477 pass the system library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or platform-specific
478 variables) along with the system PATH, by default. Both should be
479 overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
482 *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
483 capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
484 against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
485 This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior. [William Rowe]
487 *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
488 comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt. To help bash users and drop
489 the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
490 symlink test operators. [William Rowe]
492 *) mod_cache: Give the cache provider the opportunity to choose to cache
493 or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
494 presence of a FILE bucket.
497 *) mod_authz_core: Allow authz providers to check args while reading the
498 config and allow to cache parsed args. Move 'all' and 'env' authz
499 providers from mod_authz_host to mod_authz_core. Add 'method' authz
500 provider depending on the HTTP method. [Stefan Fritsch]
502 *) mod_include: Move the request_rec within mod_include to be
503 exposed within include_ctx_t. [Graham Leggett]
505 *) mod_include: Reinstate support for UTF-8 character sets by allowing a
506 variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
507 steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]
509 *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
510 mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
511 provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
512 to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
513 fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
514 set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
517 *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
518 within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
519 and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
520 gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
521 passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
522 This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
523 occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
524 CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
525 the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]
527 *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
528 additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
529 error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
530 lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]
532 *) core: Disable sendfile by default. [Stefan Fritsch]
534 *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
535 to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
536 no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
537 behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]
539 *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
540 of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
541 when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]
543 *) mod_cgid: Log a warning if the ScriptSock path is truncated because
544 it is too long. PR 49388. [Stefan Fritsch]
546 *) vhosts: Do not allow _default_ in NameVirtualHost, or mixing *
547 and non-* ports on NameVirtualHost, or multiple NameVirtualHost
548 directives for the same address:port, or NameVirtualHost
549 directives with no matching VirtualHosts, or multiple ip-based
550 VirtualHost sections for the same address:port. These were
551 previously accepted with a warning, but the behavior was
552 undefined. [Dan Poirier]

555 Allow/Deny. PR 49838. [Andrew Skalski <voltara gmail.com>]

1682 from the connection rec, ap_get_scoreboard_worker(proc, thread) will now
1683 provide the unusual legacy lookup. [William Rowe]

1688 *) mod_authnz_ldap, mod_authn_dbd: Tidy up the code to expose authn
1689 parameters to the environment. Improve portability to
1690 EBCDIC machines by using apr_toupper(). [Martin Kraemer]
1692 *) mod_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
1693 to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
1694 where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.

1706 *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
1707 entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
1710 *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
1711 cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
1714 *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
1715 on Win32. PR 40476. [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
1717 *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
1718 the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
1719 AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
1720 location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
1722 *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
1723 into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
1724 mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
1726 *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
1727 value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
1728 may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
1729 weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
1731 *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
1733 *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets
1734 the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
1735 bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.

1738 *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
1740 *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
1741 now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
1744 *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
1745 open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
1746 directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
1747 to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
1748 and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
1749 appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
1751 *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
1752 to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
1753 SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
1755 *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
1756 configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
1757 The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than
1758 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]

1784 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
1785 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
1788 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
1789 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
1790 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
1791 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
1793 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
1794 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
1795 support for these directives.
1798 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
1799 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
1800 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
1801 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
1803 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
1804 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
1805 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
1807 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
1808 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
1810 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
1811 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
1812 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
1814 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to

1826 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
1828 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
1829 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
1830 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
1831 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
1832 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
1834 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
1835 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
1837 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
1839 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
1842 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
1845 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
1846 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
1847 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
