2 Changes with Apache 2.3.0
4 *) log core: ensure we use a special pool for stderr logging, so that
5 the stderr channel remains valid from the time plog is destroyed,
6 until the time the open_logs hook is called again. [William Rowe]
8 *) main core: Emit errors during the initial apr_app_initialize()
9 or apr_pool_create() (when apr-based error reporting is not ready).
12 *) mpm_winnt: Prevent the parent-child pipe from leaking into other
13 spawned processes, and ensure we have a /Device/null handle for
14 stdout when running as-a-service. [William Rowe]
16 *) log core: fix the new piped logger case where we couldn't connect
17 the replacement stderr logger's stderr to the NULL stdout stream.
18 Continue in this case, since the previous alternative of no error
19 logging at all (/dev/null) is far worse. [William Rowe]
21 *) mod_ldap: Avoid possible crashes, hangs, and busy loops due to
22 improper merging of the cache lock in vhost config
23 PR 43164 [Eric Covener]
25 *) mod_negotiation: preserve Query String in resolving a type map
26 PR 33112 [Jørgen Thomsen <apache jth.net>, Nick Kew]
28 *) mod_deflate: fix content_encoding detection in inflate_out filter
29 when it's not in response headers table.
32 *) mod_proxy: Improve network performance by setting APR_TCP_NODELAY
33 (disable Nagle algorithm) on sockets if implemented.
34 PR 42871 [Christian BOITEL <christian_boitel yahoo.fr>, Jim Jagielski]
36 *) mod_info: mod_info outputs invalid XHTML 1.0 transitional.
37 PR 42847 [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>]
39 *) mime.types: add registered Apple installer type
40 PR 40379 [Peter Bierman <pmb+apache apple.com>]
42 *) mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
43 to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
44 where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.
45 PR 42891 [Paul J. Reder]
47 *) mod_deflate: don't try to process metadata buckets as data. what should
48 have been a 413 error was logged as a 500 and a blank screen appeared
50 [Greg Ames, Ruediger Pluem]
52 *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-3304 (cve.mitre.org)
53 prefork, worker, event MPMs: Ensure that the parent process cannot
54 be forced to kill processes outside its process group. [Joe Orton]
56 *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-5752 (cve.mitre.org)
57 mod_status: Fix a possible XSS attack against a site with a public
58 server-status page and ExtendedStatus enabled, for browsers which
59 perform charset "detection". Reported by Stefan Esser. [Joe Orton]
61 *) Event MPM: Add support for running under mod_ssl, by reverting to the
62 Worker MPM behaviors, when run under an input filter that buffers
63 its own data. [Paul Querna]
65 *) mod_ssl: Add support for caching SSL Sessions in memcached. [Paul Querna]
67 *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-1862 (cve.mitre.org)
68 mod_mem_cache: Copy headers into longer lived storage; header names and
69 values could previously point to cleaned up storage
70 PR 41551 [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
72 *) mod_cache: Do not set Date or Expires when they are missing from
73 the original response or are invalid. [Justin Erenkrantz]
75 *) mod_cache: Correctly handle HEAD requests on expired cache content.
76 PR 41230. [Niklas Edmundsson]
78 *) mod_proxy: Added ProxyPassMatch directive, which is similar
79 to ProxyPass but takes a regex local path prefix. [Jim Jagielski]
81 *) mod_so: Solve dev's confusion by reporting expected/seen module
82 magic signatures when failing with a 'garbled' message, and solve
83 user's confusion by pointing out 'perhaps compiled for a different
84 version of apache?'. [William Rowe]
86 *) mod_substitute: Added a new experimental output filter, which
87 performs inline response content pattern matching (including
88 regex) and substitution. [Jim Jagielski]
90 *) mod_ssl: Version reporting update; displays 'compiled against'
91 Apache and build-time SSL Library versions at loglevel [info],
92 while reporting the run-time SSL Library version in the server
93 info tags. Helps to identify a mod_ssl built against one flavor
94 of OpenSSL but running against another (also adds SSL-C version
95 number reporting.) [William Rowe]
97 *) core: Change etag generation to produce identical results on
98 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. PR 40064. [Joe Orton]
100 *) ab: Add -r option to continue after socket receive errors.
101 [Filip Hanik <devlist hanik.com>]
103 *) mod_ldap: Fix the search limit parameter to ldap_search_ext_s()
104 for SDKs that define LDAP_NO_LIMIT to something other than -1.
105 [David Jones <oscaremma gmail.com>]
107 *) mod_dbd: Introduce configuration groups to allow inheritance by virtual
108 hosts of database configurations from the main server. Determine the
109 minimal set of distinct configurations and share connection pools
110 whenever possible. Allow virtual hosts to override inherited SQL
111 statements. PR 41302. [Chris Darroch]
113 *) core: Fix broken chunk filtering that causes all non blocking reads to be
114 converted into blocking reads. PR 41056. [Jean-Frederic Clere, Jim Jagielski]
116 *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values
117 when invoked without variable name(s).
118 [William Rowe, Sander Temme]
120 *) mod_dbd: Create memory sub-pools for each DB connection and close
121 DB connections in a pool cleanup function. Ensure prepared statements
122 are destroyed before DB connection is closed. When using reslists,
123 prevent segfaults when child processes exit, and stop memory leakage
124 of ap_dbd_t structures. Avoid use of global s->process->pool, which
125 isn't destroyed by exiting child processes in most multi-process MPMs.
126 PR 39985. [Chris Darroch, Nick Kew]
128 *) apxs: Eliminate run-time check for mod_so. PR 40653.
129 [David M. Lee <dmlee crossroads.com>]
131 *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
132 entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
135 *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
136 cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
139 *) mod_dbd: Handle error conditions in dbd_construct() properly.
140 Simplify ap_dbd_open() and use correct arguments to apr_dbd_error()
141 when non-threaded. Register correct cleanup data in non-threaded
142 ap_dbd_acquire() and ap_dbd_cacquire(). Clean up configuration data
143 and merge function. Use ap_log_error() wherever possible.
144 [Chris Darroch, Nick Kew]
146 *) core: Do not replace a Date header set by a proxied backend server.
147 PR 40232. [Ruediger Pluem]
149 *) mod_proxy: Ensure that at least scheme://hostname[:port] matches between
150 worker and URL when searching for the best fitting worker for a given URL.
151 PR 40910. [Ruediger Pluem]
153 *) mod_cache: Remove expired content from cache that cannot be revalidated.
154 PR 30370. [Ruediger Pluem]
156 *) mod_dbd: Stash DBD connections in request_config of initial request
157 only, or else sub-requests and internal redirections may cause
158 entire DBD pool to be stashed in a single HTTP request. [Chris Darroch]
160 *) mod_proxy: Add a missing assignment in an error checking code path.
161 PR 40865. [Andrew Rucker Jones <arjones simultan.dyndns.org>]
163 *) mod_mem_cache: Increase the minimum and default value for
164 MCacheMinObjectSize from 0 to 1, as a MCacheMinObjectSize of 0 does not
165 make sense and leads to a division by zero. PR 40576.
166 [Xuekun Hu <xuekun.hu gmail.com>]
168 *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
169 on Win32. PR 40476. [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
171 *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
172 the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
173 AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
174 location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
176 *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
177 into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
178 mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
180 *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
181 value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
182 may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
183 weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
185 *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
187 *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets
188 the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
189 bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
190 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
192 *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
194 *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
195 now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
198 *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
199 open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
200 directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
201 to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
202 and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
203 appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
205 *) mod_proxy: don't URLencode tilde in path component
206 [Stijn Hoop <stijn sandcat.nl>]
208 *) mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects.
209 The return value is index to the signaled thread in the
210 creted_threads array. We can not use WAIT_TIMEOUT because
211 his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads
212 to that value. [Mladen Turk]
214 *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
215 to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
216 SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
218 *) mod_proxy: Support environment variable interpolation in reverse
219 proxying directives. [Nick Kew]
221 *) core: Add the filename of the configuration file to the warning message
222 about the useless use of AllowOverride. PR 39992.
223 [Darryl Miles <darryl darrylmiles.org>]
225 *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
226 configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
227 The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than
228 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
230 *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
231 within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
232 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
234 *) mod_cache: Convert all values to seconds before comparing them when
235 checking whether to send a Warning header for a stale response.

238 *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their
239 final name. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]

248 loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
249 definitions relating to old life_status field.

252 *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
253 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
255 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.

258 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
259 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
261 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
262 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
265 *) mod_ssl: Fix spurious hostname mismatch warning for valid
266 wildcard certificates. PR 37911. [Nick Burch <nick torchbox.com>]
268 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
269 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
270 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
271 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
273 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
274 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
275 support for these directives.
278 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
279 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
280 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
281 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
283 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
284 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
285 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
287 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
288 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
290 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
291 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
292 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
294 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
295 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
297 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
298 seconds to cache a document.
299 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
301 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
303 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
304 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
306 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
308 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
309 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
310 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
311 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
312 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
314 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
315 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
317 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
319 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
322 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
325 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
326 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
327 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")

377 been applied to this cached entity before saving it to the cache are not
378 applied again. PR 40090. [Ruediger Pluem]
380 *) mod_cache: Correctly cache objects whose URL query string has been
381 modified by mod_rewrite. PR 40805. [Ruediger Pluem]
383 *) mod_proxy_http: Change handling of ProxyErrorOverride such that
384 3xx responses are no longer over-ridden (handling of 4xx and 5xx
385 responses is unchanged). PR 39245.
386 [Jeff Trawick, Bart van der Schans <schans hippo.nl>]
388 *) htdbm: Enable crypt support on platforms with crypt() but not
389 <crypt.h>, such as z/OS. [David Jones <oscaremma gmail.com>]

476 *) mod_headers: Support regexp-based editing of HTTP headers. [Nick Kew]
478 *) mod_proxy: Add explicit flushing feature. When Servlet container sends AJP
479 body message with size 0, this means that Servlet container has asked for
480 an explicit flush. Create flush bucket in that case. This feature has been
481 added to the recent Tomcat versions without breaking the AJP protocol.
484 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Set the new environment variable BALANCER_ROUTE_CHANGED

501 A new worker directive ping=timeout will cause CPING packet
502 to be send expecting CPONG packet within defined timeout.
503 In case the backend is too busy this will fail instead
504 sending the full header. [Mladen Turk]
