3 Changes with Apache 2.3.12
5 *) mod_ldap: Add LDAPConnectionPoolTTL to give control over lifetime
6 of bound backend LDAP connections. PR47634 [Eric Covener]
8 *) mod_cache: Make CacheEnable and CacheDisable configurable per
9 directory in addition to per server, making them work from within
10 a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]
12 *) worker, event, prefork: Correct several issues when built as
13 DSOs; most notably, the scoreboard was reinitialized during graceful
14 restart, such that processes of the previous generation were not
15 observable. [Jeff Trawick]
17 Changes with Apache 2.3.11
19 *) mod_proxy: balancer-manager now uses POST instead of GET.
22 *) core: new util function: ap_parse_form_data(). Previously,
23 this capability was tucked away in mod_request. [Jim Jagielski]
25 *) core: new hook: ap_run_pre_read_request. [Jim Jagielski]
27 *) mod_cache: When a request other than GET or HEAD arrives, we must
28 invalidate existing cache entities as per RFC2616 13.10. PR 15868.
31 *) modules: Fix many modules that were not correctly initializing if they
32 were not active during server startup but got enabled later during a
33 graceful restart. [Stefan Fritsch]
35 *) core: Create new ap_state_query function that allows modules to determine
36 if the current configuration run is the initial one at server startup,
37 and if the server is started for testing/config dumping only.
40 *) mod_proxy: Runtime configuration of many parameters for existing
41 balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]
43 *) mod_proxy: Runtime addition of new workers (BalancerMember) for existing
44 balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]
46 *) mod_cache: When a bad Expires date is present, we need to behave as if
47 the Expires is in the past, not as if the Expires is missing. PR 16521.

73 variables that can then be used in the config using the ${VAR} syntax
74 known from envvar interpolation. [Stefan Fritsch]
76 *) mod_proxy_http: make adding of X-Forwarded-* headers configurable.
77 ProxyAddHeaders defaults to On. [Vincent Deffontaines]
79 *) mod_slotmem_shm: Increase memory alignment for slotmem data.

83 SSLOCSPResponseMaxAge, SSLOCSPResponseTimeSkew.
84 [Kaspar Brand <httpd-dev.2011 velox.ch>]
86 *) mod_ssl: Revamp output buffering to reduce network overhead for
87 output fragmented into many buckets, such as chunked HTTP responses.
90 *) core: Apply <If> sections to all requests, not only to file base requests.
91 Allow to use <If> inside <Directory>, <Location>, and <Files> sections.
92 The merging of <If> sections now happens after the merging of <Location>
93 sections, even if an <If> section is embedded inside a <Directory> or
94 <Files> section. [Stefan Fritsch]
96 *) mod_proxy: Refactor usage of shared data by dropping the scoreboard
97 and using slotmem. Create foundation for dynamic growth/changes of
98 members within a balancer. Remove BalancerNonce in favor of a
99 per-balancer 'nonce' parameter. [Jim Jagielski]
101 *) mod_status: Don't show slots which are disabled by MaxClients as open.
102 PR: 47022 [Jordi Prats <jordi prats gmail com>, Stefan Fritsch]
104 *) mpm_prefork: Fix ap_mpm_query results for AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS and
107 *) mod_authz_core: Fix bug in merging logic if user-based and non-user-based
108 authorization directives were mixed. [Stefan Fritsch]
110 *) mod_authn_socache: change directive name from AuthnCacheProvider
111 to AuthnCacheProvideFor. The term "provider" is overloaded in
112 this module, and we should avoid confusion between the provider
113 of a backend (AuthnCacheSOCache) and the authn provider(s) for
114 which this module provides cacheing (AuthnCacheProvideFor).
117 *) mod_proxy_http: Allocate the fake backend request from a child pool
118 of the backend connection, instead of misusing the pool of the frontend
119 request. Fixes a thread safety issue where buckets set aside in the
120 backend connection leak into other threads, and then disappear when
121 the frontend request is cleaned up, in turn causing corrupted buckets
122 to make other threads spin. [Graham Leggett]
124 *) mod_ssl: Change the format of the SSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_{I,S}_DN variables
125 to be RFC 2253 compatible, convert non-ASCII characters to UTF8, and
126 escape other special characters with backslashes. The old format can
127 still be used with the LegacyDNStringFormat argument to SSLOptions.
129 *) core, mod_rewrite: Make the REQUEST_SCHEME variable available to
130 scripts and mod_rewrite. [Stefan Fritsch]
132 *) mod_rewrite: Allow to use arbitrary boolean expressions (ap_expr) in
133 RewriteCond. [Stefan Fritsch]
135 *) mod_rewrite: Allow to unset environment variables using E=!VAR.
136 PR 49512. [Mark Drayton <mark markdrayton info>, Stefan Fritsch]
138 *) mod_headers: Restore the 2.3.8 and earlier default for the first
139 argument of the Header directive ("onsuccess"). [Eric Covener]
141 *) core: Disallow the mixing of relative and absolute Options PR 33708.
142 [Sönke Tesch <st kino-fahrplan.de>]
144 *) core: When exporting request headers to HTTP_* environment variables,
145 drop variables whose names contain invalid characters. Describe in the
146 docs how to restore the old behaviour. [Malte S. Stretz <mss apache org>]
148 *) core: When selecting an IP-based virtual host, favor an exact match for
149 the port over a wildcard (or omitted) port instead of favoring the one
150 that came first in the configuration file. [Eric Covener]
152 *) core: Overlapping virtual host address/port combinations now implicitly
153 enable name-based virtual hosting for that address. The NameVirtualHost
154 directive has no effect, and _default_ is interpreted the same as "*".
157 *) core: In the absence of any Options directives, the default is now
158 "FollowSymlinks" instead of "All". [Igor Galić]
160 *) rotatelogs: Add -e option to write logs through to stdout for optional
161 further processing. [Graham Leggett]
163 *) mod_ssl: Correctly read full lines in input filter when the line is
164 incomplete during first read. PR 50481. [Ruediger Pluem]
166 *) mod_authz_core: Add AuthzSendForbiddenOnFailure directive to allow
167 sending '403 FORBIDDEN' instead of '401 UNAUTHORIZED' if authorization
168 fails for an authenticated user. PR 40721. [Stefan Fritsch]
170 Changes with Apache 2.3.10
172 *) mod_rewrite: Don't implicitly URL-escape the original query string
173 when no substitution has changed it. PR 50447. [Eric Covener]
175 *) core: Honor 'AcceptPathInfo OFF' during internal redirects,
176 such as per-directory mod_rewrite substitutions. PR 50349.
179 *) mod_rewrite: Add 'RewriteOptions InheritBefore' to put the base
180 rules/conditions before the overridden rules/conditions. PR 39313.
181 [Jérôme Grandjanny <jerome.grandjanny cea.fr>]
183 *) mod_autoindex: add IndexIgnoreReset to reset the list of IndexIgnored
184 filenames in higher precedence configuration sections. PR 24243.
187 *) mod_cgid: RLimit* directive support for mod_cgid. PR 42135
190 *) core: Fail startup when the argument to ServerName looks like a glob
191 or a regular expression instead of a hostname (*?[]). PR 39863
192 [Rahul Nair <rahul.g.nair gmail.com>]
194 *) mod_userdir: Add merging of enable, disable, and filename arguments
195 to UserDir directive, leaving enable/disable of userlists unmerged.
196 PR 44076 [Eric Covener]
198 *) httpd: When no -k option is provided on the httpd command line, the server
199 was starting without checking for an existing pidfile. PR 50350
202 *) mod_proxy: Put the worker in error state if the SSL handshake with the
203 backend fails. PR 50332.
204 [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>, Ruediger Pluem]
206 *) mod_cache_disk: Fix Windows build which was broken after renaming
207 the module. [Gregg L. Smith]
209 Changes with Apache 2.3.9
211 *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-1623 (cve.mitre.org)
212 Fix a denial of service attack against mod_reqtimeout.
215 *) mod_headers: Change default first argument of Header directive
216 from "onsuccess" to "always". [Eric Covener]
218 *) mod_include: Add the onerror attribute to the include element,
219 allowing an URL to be specified to include on error. [Graham
222 *) mod_cache_disk: mod_disk_cache renamed to mod_cache_disk, to be
223 consistent with the naming of other modules. [Graham Leggett]
225 *) mod_setenvif: Add SetEnvIfExpr directive to set env var depending on
226 expression. [Stefan Fritsch]
228 *) mod_proxy: Fix ProxyPassInterpolateEnv directive. PR 50292.
231 *) suEXEC: Add Suexec directive to disable suEXEC without renaming the
232 binary (Suexec Off), or force startup failure if suEXEC is required
233 but not supported (Suexec On). Change SuexecUserGroup to fail
234 startup instead of just printing a warning if suEXEC is disabled.
237 *) core: Add Error directive for aborting startup or htaccess processing
238 with a specified error message. [Jeff Trawick]
240 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the RewriteEngine directive to work within a
241 location. Previously, once RewriteEngine was switched on globally,
242 it was impossible to switch off. [Graham Leggett]
244 *) core, mod_include, mod_ssl: Move the expression parser derived from
245 mod_include back into mod_include. Replace ap_expr with a parser
246 derived from mod_ssl's parser. Make mod_ssl use the new parser. Rework
247 ap_expr's public interface and provide hooks for modules to add variables
248 and functions. [Stefan Fritsch]
250 *) core: Do the hook sorting earlier so that the hooks are properly sorted
251 for the pre_config hook and during parsing the config. [Stefan Fritsch]
253 *) core: In the absence of any AllowOverride directives, the default is now
254 "None" instead of "All". PR49823 [Eric Covener]
256 *) mod_proxy: Don't allow ProxyPass or ProxyPassReverse in
257 <Directory> or <Files>. PR47765 [Eric Covener]
259 *) prefork/worker/event MPMS: default value (when no directive is present)
260 of MaxConnectionsPerChild/MaxRequestsPerChild is changed to 0 from 10000
261 to match default configuration and manual. PR47782 [Eric Covener]
263 *) proxy_connect: Don't give up in the middle of a CONNECT tunnel
264 when the child process is starting to exit. PR50220. [Eric Covener]
266 *) mod_autoindex: Fix inheritance of mod_autoindex directives into
267 contexts that don't have any mod_autoindex directives. PR47766.
270 *) mod_rewrite: Add END flag for RewriteRule to prevent further rounds
271 of rewrite processing when a per-directory substitution occurs.
274 *) mod_ssl: Make sure to always log an error if loading of CA certificates
275 fails. PR 40312. [Paul Tiemann <issues apache org ourdetour com>]
277 *) mod_dav: Send 501 error if unknown Content-* header is received for a PUT
278 request (RFC 2616 9.6). PR 42978. [Stefan Fritsch]
280 *) mod_dav: Send 400 error if malformed Content-Range header is received for
281 a put request (RFC 2616 14.16). PR 49825. [Stefan Fritsch]
283 *) mod_proxy: Release the backend connection as soon as EOS is detected,
284 so the backend isn't forced to wait for the client to eventually
285 acknowledge the data. [Graham Leggett]
287 *) mod_proxy: Optimise ProxyPass within a Location so that it is stored
288 per-directory, and chosen during the location walk. Make ProxyPass
289 work correctly from within a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]
291 *) core: Fix segfault if per-module LogLevel is on virtual host
292 scope. PR 50117. [Stefan Fritsch]
294 *) mod_proxy: Move the ProxyErrorOverride directive to have per
295 directory scope. [Graham Leggett]
297 *) mod_allowmethods: New module to deny certain HTTP methods without
298 interfering with authentication/authorization. [Paul Querna,
299 Igor Galić, Stefan Fritsch]
301 *) mod_ssl: Log certificate information and improve error message if client
302 cert verification fails. PR 50093, PR 50094. [Lassi Tuura <lat cern ch>,
305 *) htcacheclean: Teach htcacheclean to limit cache size by number of
306 inodes in addition to size of files. Prevents a cache disk from
307 running out of space when many small files are cached.
310 *) core: Rename MaxRequestsPerChild to MaxConnectionsPerChild, which
311 describes more accurately what the directive does. The old name
312 still works but logs a warning. [Stefan Fritsch]
314 *) mod_cache: Optionally serve stale data when a revalidation returns a
315 5xx response, controlled by the CacheStaleOnError directive.
318 *) htcacheclean: Allow the listing of valid URLs within the cache, with
319 the option to list entry metadata such as sizes and times. [Graham
322 *) mod_cache: correctly parse quoted strings in cache headers.
325 *) mod_cache: Allow control over the base URL of reverse proxied requests
326 using the CacheKeyBaseURL directive, so that the cache key can be
327 calculated from the endpoint URL instead of the server URL. [Graham
330 *) mod_cache: CacheLastModifiedFactor, CacheStoreNoStore, CacheStorePrivate,
331 CacheStoreExpired, CacheIgnoreNoLastMod, CacheDefaultExpire,
332 CacheMinExpire and CacheMaxExpire can be set per directory/location.
335 *) mod_disk_cache: CacheMaxFileSize, CacheMinFileSize, CacheReadSize and
336 CacheReadTime can be set per directory/location. [Graham Leggett]
338 *) core: Speed up config parsing if using a very large number of config
339 files. PR 50002 [andrew cloudaccess net]
341 *) mod_cache: Support the caching of HEAD requests. [Graham Leggett]
343 *) htcacheclean: Allow the option to round up file sizes to a given
344 block size, improving the accuracy of disk usage. [Graham Leggett]
346 *) mod_ssl: Add authz providers for use with mod_authz_core and its
347 RequireAny/RequireAll containers: 'ssl' (equivalent to SSLRequireSSL),
348 'ssl-verify-client' (for use with 'SSLVerifyClient optional'), and
349 'ssl-require' (expressions with same syntax as SSLRequire).
352 *) mod_ssl: Make the ssl expression parser thread-safe. It now requires
353 bison instead of yacc. [Stefan Fritsch]
355 *) mod_disk_cache: Change on-disk header file format to support the
356 link of the device/inode of the data file to the matching header
357 file, and to support the option of not writing a data file when
358 the data file is empty. [Graham Leggett]
360 *) core/mod_unique_id: Add generate_log_id hook to allow to use
361 the ID generated by mod_unique_id as error log ID for requests.
364 *) mod_cache: Make sure that we never allow a 304 Not Modified response
365 that we asked for to leak to the client should the 304 response be
366 uncacheable. PR45341 [Graham Leggett]
368 *) mod_cache: Add the cache_status hook to register the final cache
369 decision hit/miss/revalidate. Add optional support for an X-Cache
370 and/or an X-Cache-Detail header to add the cache status to the
371 response. PR48241 [Graham Leggett]
373 *) mod_authz_host: Add 'local' provider that matches connections originating
374 on the local host. PR 19938. [Stefan Fritsch]
376 *) Event MPM: Fix crash accessing pollset on worker thread when child
377 process is exiting. [Jeff Trawick]
379 *) core: For process invocation (cgi, fcgid, piped loggers and so forth)
380 pass the system library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or platform-specific
381 variables) along with the system PATH, by default. Both should be
382 overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
385 *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
386 capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
387 against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
388 This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior. [William Rowe]
390 *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
391 comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt. To help bash users and drop
392 the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
393 symlink test operators. [William Rowe]
395 *) mod_cache: Give the cache provider the opportunity to choose to cache
396 or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
397 presence of a FILE bucket.
400 *) mod_authz_core: Allow authz providers to check args while reading the
401 config and allow to cache parsed args. Move 'all' and 'env' authz
402 providers from mod_authz_host to mod_authz_core. Add 'method' authz
403 provider depending on the HTTP method. [Stefan Fritsch]
405 *) mod_include: Move the request_rec within mod_include to be
406 exposed within include_ctx_t. [Graham Leggett]
408 *) mod_include: Reinstate support for UTF-8 character sets by allowing a
409 variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
410 steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]
412 *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
413 mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
414 provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
415 to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
416 fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
417 set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
420 *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
421 within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
422 and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
423 gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
424 passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
425 This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
426 occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
427 CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
428 the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]
430 *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
431 additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
432 error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
433 lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]
435 *) core: Disable sendfile by default. [Stefan Fritsch]
437 *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
438 to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
439 no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
440 behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]
442 *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
443 of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
444 when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]
446 *) mod_cgid: Log a warning if the ScriptSock path is truncated because
447 it is too long. PR 49388. [Stefan Fritsch]
449 *) vhosts: Do not allow _default_ in NameVirtualHost, or mixing *
450 and non-* ports on NameVirtualHost, or multiple NameVirtualHost
451 directives for the same address:port, or NameVirtualHost
452 directives with no matching VirtualHosts, or multiple ip-based
453 VirtualHost sections for the same address:port. These were
454 previously accepted with a warning, but the behavior was
455 undefined. [Dan Poirier]

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

1671 [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]
1673 *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
1674 loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
1675 definitions relating to old life_status field.
1676 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1678 *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
1679 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1681 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
1682 [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
1684 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
1685 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1687 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
1688 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
1691 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
1692 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
1693 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
1694 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
1696 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
1697 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
1698 support for these directives.
1701 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
1702 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
1703 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
1704 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
1706 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
1707 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
1708 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
1710 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
1711 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
1713 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
1714 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
1715 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
1717 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
1718 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
1720 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
1721 seconds to cache a document.
1722 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
1724 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
1726 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
1727 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
1729 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
1731 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
1732 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
1733 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
1734 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
1735 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
1737 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
1738 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
1740 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
1742 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
1745 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
1748 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
1749 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
1750 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
