3 Changes with Apache 2.3.13
5 *) mod_userdir/mod_alias/mod_vhost_alias: Correctly set DOCUMENT_ROOT,
6 CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT, CONTEXT_PREFIX. PR 26052. PR 46198.
9 *) core: Allow to override document_root on a per-request basis. Introduce
10 new context_document_root and context_prefix which provide information
11 about non-global URI-to-directory mappings (from e.g. mod_userdir or
12 mod_alias) to scripts. PR 49705. [Stefan Fritsch]
14 *) core: Add <ElseIf> and <Else> to complement <If> sections.
17 *) mod_ext_filter: Remove DebugLevel option in favor of per-module loglevel.
20 *) mod_include: Make the "#if expr" element use the new "ap_expr" expression
21 parser. The old parser can still be used by setting the new directive
22 SSILegacyExprParser. [Stefan Fritsch]
24 *) core: Add some features to ap_expr for use by mod_include: a restricted
25 mode that does not allow to bypass request access restrictions; new
26 variables DOCUMENT_URI (alias for REQUEST_URI), LAST_MODIFIED; -A as an
27 alias for -U; an additional data entry in ap_expr_eval_ctx_t for use by
28 the consumer; an extensible ap_expr_exec_ctx() API that allows to use that
29 data entry. [Stefan Fritsch]
31 *) mod_include: Merge directory configs instead of one SSI* config directive
32 causing all other per-directory SSI* config directives to be reset.
35 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove DebugLevel option in favour of per-module
36 loglevel. [Stefan Fritsch]
38 *) core: Add ap_regexec_len() function that works with non-null-terminated
39 strings. PR 51231. [Yehezkel Horowitz <horowity checkpoint com>]
41 *) mod_authnz_ldap: If the LDAP server returns constraint violation,
42 don't treat this as an error but as "auth denied". [Stefan Fritsch]
44 *) mod_proxy_fcgi|scgi: Add support for "best guess" of PATH_INFO
45 for SCGI/FCGI. PR 50880, 50851. [Mark Montague <mark catseye.org>,
48 *) mod_cache: When content is served stale, and there is no means to
49 revalidate the content using ETag or Last-Modified, and we have
50 mandated no stale-on-error behaviour, stand down and don't cache.
51 Saves a cache write that will never be read.
54 *) mod_reqtimeout: Fix a timed out connection going into the keep-alive
55 state after a timeout when discarding a request body. PR 51103.
58 *) core: Add various file existance test operators to ap_expr.
61 *) mod_proxy_express: New mass reverse-proxy switch extension for
62 mod_proxy. [Jim Jagielski]
64 *) configure: Fix script error when configuring module set "reallyall".
67 Changes with Apache 2.3.12
69 *) configure, core: Provide easier support for APR's hook probe
70 capability. [Jim Jagielski, Jeff Trawick]
72 *) Silence autoconf 2.68 warnings. [Rainer Jung]
74 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Resolve crash when LDAP is used for authorization only
75 [Scott Hill <shill genscape.com>]
77 *) support: Make sure check_forensic works with mod_unique_id loaded
80 *) Add child_status hook for tracking creation/termination of MPM child
81 processes. Add end_generation hook for notification when the last
82 MPM child of a generation exits. [Jeff Trawick]
84 *) mod_ldap: Make LDAPSharedCacheSize 0 create a non-shared-memory cache per
85 process as opposed to disabling caching completely. This allows to use
86 the non-shared-memory cache as a workaround for the shared memory cache
87 not being available during graceful restarts. PR 48958. [Stefan Fritsch]
89 *) Add new ap_reserve_module_slots/ap_reserve_module_slots_directive API,
90 necessary if a module (like mod_perl) registers additional modules late
91 in the startup phase. [Stefan Fritsch]
93 *) core: Prevent segfault if DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT is reached. PR 51072.
94 [Torsten Förtsch <torsten foertsch gmx net>]
96 *) WinNT MPM: Improve robustness under heavy load. [Jeff Trawick]
98 *) MinGW build improvements. PR 49535. [John Vandenberg
99 <jayvdb gmail.com>, Jeff Trawick]
101 *) core: Support module names with colons in loglevel configuration.
102 [Torsten Förtsch <torsten foertsch gmx net>]
104 *) mod_ssl, ab: Support OpenSSL compiled without SSLv2 support.
107 *) core: Abort if the MPM is changed across restart. [Jeff Trawick]
109 *) mod_proxy_ajp: Add support for 'ProxyErrorOverride on'. PR 50945.
110 [Peter Pramberger <peter pramberger.at>, Jim Jagielski]
112 *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Add support for 'ProxyErrorOverride on'. PR 50913.
113 [Mark Montague <mark catseye.org>, Jim Jagielski]
115 *) core: Change the APIs of ap_cfg_getline() and ap_cfg_getc() to return an
116 error code. Abort with a nice error message if a config line is too long.
117 Partial fix for PR 50824. [Stefan Fritsch]
119 *) mod_info: Dump config to stdout during startup if -DDUMP_CONFIG is
120 specified. PR 31956. [Stefan Fritsch]
122 *) Restore visibility of DEFAULT_PIDLOG to core and modules. MPM
123 helper function ap_remove_pid() added. [Jeff Trawick]
125 *) Enable DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR on Windows and NetWare. [various]
127 *) Correct C++ incompatibility with http_log.h. [Stefan Fritsch, Jeff
130 *) mod_log_config: Prevent segfault. PR 50861. [Torsten Förtsch
131 <torsten.foertsch gmx.net>]
133 *) core: AllowEncodedSlashes new option NoDecode to allow encoded slashes
134 in request URL path info but not decode them. Change behavior of option
135 "On" to decode the encoded slashes as 2.0 and 2.2 do. PR 35256,
136 PR 46830. [Dan Poirier]
138 *) mod_ssl: Check SNI hostname against Host header case-insensitively.
139 PR 49491. [Mayank Agrawal <magrawal.08 gmail.com>]
141 *) mod_ldap: Add LDAPConnectionPoolTTL to give control over lifetime
142 of bound backend LDAP connections. PR47634 [Eric Covener]
144 *) mod_cache: Make CacheEnable and CacheDisable configurable per
145 directory in addition to per server, making them work from within
146 a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]
148 *) worker, event, prefork: Correct several issues when built as
149 DSOs; most notably, the scoreboard was reinitialized during graceful
150 restart, such that processes of the previous generation were not
151 observable. [Jeff Trawick]
153 Changes with Apache 2.3.11
155 *) mod_win32: Added shebang check for '! so that .vbs scripts work as CGI.
156 Win32's cscript interpreter can only use a single quote as comment char.
159 *) mod_proxy: balancer-manager now uses POST instead of GET.
162 *) core: new util function: ap_parse_form_data(). Previously,
163 this capability was tucked away in mod_request. [Jim Jagielski]
165 *) core: new hook: ap_run_pre_read_request. [Jim Jagielski]
167 *) mod_cache: When a request other than GET or HEAD arrives, we must
168 invalidate existing cache entities as per RFC2616 13.10. PR 15868.
171 *) modules: Fix many modules that were not correctly initializing if they
172 were not active during server startup but got enabled later during a
173 graceful restart. [Stefan Fritsch]
175 *) core: Create new ap_state_query function that allows modules to determine
176 if the current configuration run is the initial one at server startup,
177 and if the server is started for testing/config dumping only.
180 *) mod_proxy: Runtime configuration of many parameters for existing
181 balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]
183 *) mod_proxy: Runtime addition of new workers (BalancerMember) for existing
184 balancers via the balancer-manager. [Jim Jagielski]
186 *) mod_cache: When a bad Expires date is present, we need to behave as if
187 the Expires is in the past, not as if the Expires is missing. PR 16521.
188 [Co-Advisor <coad@measurement-factory.com>]
190 *) mod_cache: We must ignore quoted-string values that appear in a
191 Cache-Control header. PR 50199. [Graham Leggett]
193 *) mod_dav: Revert change to send 501 error if unknown Content-* header is
194 received for a PUT request. PR 42978. [Stefan Fritsch]
196 *) mod_cache: Respect s-maxage as described by RFC2616 14.9.3, which must
197 take precedence if present. PR 35247. [Graham Leggett]
199 *) mod_ssl: Fix a possible startup failure if multiple SSL vhosts
200 are configured with the same ServerName and private key file.
201 [Masahiro Matsuya <mmatsuya redhat.com>, Joe Orton]
203 *) mod_socache_dc: Make module compile by fixing some typos.
204 PR 50735 [Mark Montague <mark catseye.org>]
206 *) prefork: Update MPM state in children during a graceful stop or
207 restart. PR 41743. [Andrew Punch <andrew.punch 247realmedia.com>]
209 *) mod_mime: Ignore leading dots when looking for mime extensions.
210 PR 50434 [Stefan Fritsch]
212 *) core: Add support to set variables with the 'Define' directive. The
213 variables that can then be used in the config using the ${VAR} syntax
214 known from envvar interpolation. [Stefan Fritsch]
216 *) mod_proxy_http: make adding of X-Forwarded-* headers configurable.
217 ProxyAddHeaders defaults to On. [Vincent Deffontaines]
219 *) mod_slotmem_shm: Increase memory alignment for slotmem data.
222 *) mod_ssl: Add config options for OCSP: SSLOCSPResponderTimeout,
223 SSLOCSPResponseMaxAge, SSLOCSPResponseTimeSkew.
224 [Kaspar Brand <httpd-dev.2011 velox.ch>]
226 *) mod_ssl: Revamp output buffering to reduce network overhead for
227 output fragmented into many buckets, such as chunked HTTP responses.
230 *) core: Apply <If> sections to all requests, not only to file base requests.
231 Allow to use <If> inside <Directory>, <Location>, and <Files> sections.
232 The merging of <If> sections now happens after the merging of <Location>
233 sections, even if an <If> section is embedded inside a <Directory> or
234 <Files> section. [Stefan Fritsch]
236 *) mod_proxy: Refactor usage of shared data by dropping the scoreboard
237 and using slotmem. Create foundation for dynamic growth/changes of
238 members within a balancer. Remove BalancerNonce in favor of a
239 per-balancer 'nonce' parameter. [Jim Jagielski]
241 *) mod_status: Don't show slots which are disabled by MaxClients as open.
242 PR: 47022 [Jordi Prats <jordi prats gmail com>, Stefan Fritsch]
244 *) mpm_prefork: Fix ap_mpm_query results for AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS and
247 *) mod_authz_core: Fix bug in merging logic if user-based and non-user-based
248 authorization directives were mixed. [Stefan Fritsch]
250 *) mod_authn_socache: change directive name from AuthnCacheProvider
251 to AuthnCacheProvideFor. The term "provider" is overloaded in
252 this module, and we should avoid confusion between the provider
253 of a backend (AuthnCacheSOCache) and the authn provider(s) for
254 which this module provides cacheing (AuthnCacheProvideFor).
257 *) mod_proxy_http: Allocate the fake backend request from a child pool
258 of the backend connection, instead of misusing the pool of the frontend
259 request. Fixes a thread safety issue where buckets set aside in the
260 backend connection leak into other threads, and then disappear when
261 the frontend request is cleaned up, in turn causing corrupted buckets
262 to make other threads spin. [Graham Leggett]
264 *) mod_ssl: Change the format of the SSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_{I,S}_DN variables
265 to be RFC 2253 compatible, convert non-ASCII characters to UTF8, and
266 escape other special characters with backslashes. The old format can
267 still be used with the LegacyDNStringFormat argument to SSLOptions.
269 *) core, mod_rewrite: Make the REQUEST_SCHEME variable available to
270 scripts and mod_rewrite. [Stefan Fritsch]
272 *) mod_rewrite: Allow to use arbitrary boolean expressions (ap_expr) in
273 RewriteCond. [Stefan Fritsch]
275 *) mod_rewrite: Allow to unset environment variables using E=!VAR.
276 PR 49512. [Mark Drayton <mark markdrayton info>, Stefan Fritsch]
278 *) mod_headers: Restore the 2.3.8 and earlier default for the first
279 argument of the Header directive ("onsuccess"). [Eric Covener]
281 *) core: Disallow the mixing of relative and absolute Options PR 33708.
282 [Sönke Tesch <st kino-fahrplan.de>]
284 *) core: When exporting request headers to HTTP_* environment variables,
285 drop variables whose names contain invalid characters. Describe in the
286 docs how to restore the old behaviour. [Malte S. Stretz <mss apache org>]
288 *) core: When selecting an IP-based virtual host, favor an exact match for
289 the port over a wildcard (or omitted) port instead of favoring the one
290 that came first in the configuration file. [Eric Covener]
292 *) core: Overlapping virtual host address/port combinations now implicitly
293 enable name-based virtual hosting for that address. The NameVirtualHost
294 directive has no effect, and _default_ is interpreted the same as "*".
297 *) core: In the absence of any Options directives, the default is now
298 "FollowSymlinks" instead of "All". [Igor Galić]
300 *) rotatelogs: Add -e option to write logs through to stdout for optional
301 further processing. [Graham Leggett]
303 *) mod_ssl: Correctly read full lines in input filter when the line is
304 incomplete during first read. PR 50481. [Ruediger Pluem]
306 *) mod_authz_core: Add AuthzSendForbiddenOnFailure directive to allow
307 sending '403 FORBIDDEN' instead of '401 UNAUTHORIZED' if authorization
308 fails for an authenticated user. PR 40721. [Stefan Fritsch]
310 Changes with Apache 2.3.10
312 *) mod_rewrite: Don't implicitly URL-escape the original query string
313 when no substitution has changed it. PR 50447. [Eric Covener]
315 *) core: Honor 'AcceptPathInfo OFF' during internal redirects,
316 such as per-directory mod_rewrite substitutions. PR 50349.
319 *) mod_rewrite: Add 'RewriteOptions InheritBefore' to put the base
320 rules/conditions before the overridden rules/conditions. PR 39313.
321 [Jérôme Grandjanny <jerome.grandjanny cea.fr>]
323 *) mod_autoindex: add IndexIgnoreReset to reset the list of IndexIgnored
324 filenames in higher precedence configuration sections. PR 24243.
327 *) mod_cgid: RLimit* directive support for mod_cgid. PR 42135
330 *) core: Fail startup when the argument to ServerName looks like a glob
331 or a regular expression instead of a hostname (*?[]). PR 39863
332 [Rahul Nair <rahul.g.nair gmail.com>]
334 *) mod_userdir: Add merging of enable, disable, and filename arguments
335 to UserDir directive, leaving enable/disable of userlists unmerged.
336 PR 44076 [Eric Covener]
338 *) httpd: When no -k option is provided on the httpd command line, the server
339 was starting without checking for an existing pidfile. PR 50350
342 *) mod_proxy: Put the worker in error state if the SSL handshake with the
343 backend fails. PR 50332.
344 [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>, Ruediger Pluem]
346 *) mod_cache_disk: Fix Windows build which was broken after renaming
347 the module. [Gregg L. Smith]
349 Changes with Apache 2.3.9
351 *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-1623 (cve.mitre.org)
352 Fix a denial of service attack against mod_reqtimeout.
355 *) mod_headers: Change default first argument of Header directive
356 from "onsuccess" to "always". [Eric Covener]
358 *) mod_include: Add the onerror attribute to the include element,
359 allowing an URL to be specified to include on error. [Graham
362 *) mod_cache_disk: mod_disk_cache renamed to mod_cache_disk, to be
363 consistent with the naming of other modules. [Graham Leggett]
365 *) mod_setenvif: Add SetEnvIfExpr directive to set env var depending on
366 expression. [Stefan Fritsch]
368 *) mod_proxy: Fix ProxyPassInterpolateEnv directive. PR 50292.
371 *) suEXEC: Add Suexec directive to disable suEXEC without renaming the
372 binary (Suexec Off), or force startup failure if suEXEC is required
373 but not supported (Suexec On). Change SuexecUserGroup to fail
374 startup instead of just printing a warning if suEXEC is disabled.
377 *) core: Add Error directive for aborting startup or htaccess processing
378 with a specified error message. [Jeff Trawick]
380 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the RewriteEngine directive to work within a
381 location. Previously, once RewriteEngine was switched on globally,
382 it was impossible to switch off. [Graham Leggett]
384 *) core, mod_include, mod_ssl: Move the expression parser derived from
385 mod_include back into mod_include. Replace ap_expr with a parser
386 derived from mod_ssl's parser. Make mod_ssl use the new parser. Rework
387 ap_expr's public interface and provide hooks for modules to add variables
388 and functions. [Stefan Fritsch]
390 *) core: Do the hook sorting earlier so that the hooks are properly sorted
391 for the pre_config hook and during parsing the config. [Stefan Fritsch]
393 *) core: In the absence of any AllowOverride directives, the default is now
394 "None" instead of "All". PR49823 [Eric Covener]
396 *) mod_proxy: Don't allow ProxyPass or ProxyPassReverse in
397 <Directory> or <Files>. PR47765 [Eric Covener]
399 *) prefork/worker/event MPMS: default value (when no directive is present)
400 of MaxConnectionsPerChild/MaxRequestsPerChild is changed to 0 from 10000
401 to match default configuration and manual. PR47782 [Eric Covener]
403 *) proxy_connect: Don't give up in the middle of a CONNECT tunnel
404 when the child process is starting to exit. PR50220. [Eric Covener]
406 *) mod_autoindex: Fix inheritance of mod_autoindex directives into
407 contexts that don't have any mod_autoindex directives. PR47766.
410 *) mod_rewrite: Add END flag for RewriteRule to prevent further rounds
411 of rewrite processing when a per-directory substitution occurs.
414 *) mod_ssl: Make sure to always log an error if loading of CA certificates
415 fails. PR 40312. [Paul Tiemann <issues apache org ourdetour com>]
417 *) mod_dav: Send 501 error if unknown Content-* header is received for a PUT
418 request (RFC 2616 9.6). PR 42978. [Stefan Fritsch]
420 *) mod_dav: Send 400 error if malformed Content-Range header is received for
421 a put request (RFC 2616 14.16). PR 49825. [Stefan Fritsch]
423 *) mod_proxy: Release the backend connection as soon as EOS is detected,
424 so the backend isn't forced to wait for the client to eventually
425 acknowledge the data. [Graham Leggett]
427 *) mod_proxy: Optimise ProxyPass within a Location so that it is stored
428 per-directory, and chosen during the location walk. Make ProxyPass
429 work correctly from within a LocationMatch. [Graham Leggett]
431 *) core: Fix segfault if per-module LogLevel is on virtual host
432 scope. PR 50117. [Stefan Fritsch]
434 *) mod_proxy: Move the ProxyErrorOverride directive to have per
435 directory scope. [Graham Leggett]
437 *) mod_allowmethods: New module to deny certain HTTP methods without
438 interfering with authentication/authorization. [Paul Querna,
439 Igor Galić, Stefan Fritsch]
441 *) mod_ssl: Log certificate information and improve error message if client
442 cert verification fails. PR 50093, PR 50094. [Lassi Tuura <lat cern ch>,
445 *) htcacheclean: Teach htcacheclean to limit cache size by number of
446 inodes in addition to size of files. Prevents a cache disk from
447 running out of space when many small files are cached.
450 *) core: Rename MaxRequestsPerChild to MaxConnectionsPerChild, which
451 describes more accurately what the directive does. The old name
452 still works but logs a warning. [Stefan Fritsch]
454 *) mod_cache: Optionally serve stale data when a revalidation returns a
455 5xx response, controlled by the CacheStaleOnError directive.
458 *) htcacheclean: Allow the listing of valid URLs within the cache, with
459 the option to list entry metadata such as sizes and times. [Graham
462 *) mod_cache: correctly parse quoted strings in cache headers.
465 *) mod_cache: Allow control over the base URL of reverse proxied requests
466 using the CacheKeyBaseURL directive, so that the cache key can be
467 calculated from the endpoint URL instead of the server URL. [Graham
470 *) mod_cache: CacheLastModifiedFactor, CacheStoreNoStore, CacheStorePrivate,
471 CacheStoreExpired, CacheIgnoreNoLastMod, CacheDefaultExpire,
472 CacheMinExpire and CacheMaxExpire can be set per directory/location.
475 *) mod_disk_cache: CacheMaxFileSize, CacheMinFileSize, CacheReadSize and
476 CacheReadTime can be set per directory/location. [Graham Leggett]
478 *) core: Speed up config parsing if using a very large number of config
479 files. PR 50002 [andrew cloudaccess net]
481 *) mod_cache: Support the caching of HEAD requests. [Graham Leggett]
483 *) htcacheclean: Allow the option to round up file sizes to a given
484 block size, improving the accuracy of disk usage. [Graham Leggett]
486 *) mod_ssl: Add authz providers for use with mod_authz_core and its
487 RequireAny/RequireAll containers: 'ssl' (equivalent to SSLRequireSSL),
488 'ssl-verify-client' (for use with 'SSLVerifyClient optional'), and
489 'ssl-require' (expressions with same syntax as SSLRequire).
492 *) mod_ssl: Make the ssl expression parser thread-safe. It now requires
493 bison instead of yacc. [Stefan Fritsch]
495 *) mod_disk_cache: Change on-disk header file format to support the
496 link of the device/inode of the data file to the matching header
497 file, and to support the option of not writing a data file when
498 the data file is empty. [Graham Leggett]
500 *) core/mod_unique_id: Add generate_log_id hook to allow to use
501 the ID generated by mod_unique_id as error log ID for requests.
504 *) mod_cache: Make sure that we never allow a 304 Not Modified response
505 that we asked for to leak to the client should the 304 response be
506 uncacheable. PR45341 [Graham Leggett]
508 *) mod_cache: Add the cache_status hook to register the final cache
509 decision hit/miss/revalidate. Add optional support for an X-Cache
510 and/or an X-Cache-Detail header to add the cache status to the
511 response. PR48241 [Graham Leggett]
513 *) mod_authz_host: Add 'local' provider that matches connections originating
514 on the local host. PR 19938. [Stefan Fritsch]
516 *) Event MPM: Fix crash accessing pollset on worker thread when child
517 process is exiting. [Jeff Trawick]
519 *) core: For process invocation (cgi, fcgid, piped loggers and so forth)
520 pass the system library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or platform-specific
521 variables) along with the system PATH, by default. Both should be
522 overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
525 *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
526 capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
527 against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
528 This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior. [William Rowe]
530 *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
531 comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt. To help bash users and drop
532 the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
533 symlink test operators. [William Rowe]
535 *) mod_cache: Give the cache provider the opportunity to choose to cache
536 or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
537 presence of a FILE bucket.
540 *) mod_authz_core: Allow authz providers to check args while reading the
541 config and allow to cache parsed args. Move 'all' and 'env' authz
542 providers from mod_authz_host to mod_authz_core. Add 'method' authz
543 provider depending on the HTTP method. [Stefan Fritsch]
545 *) mod_include: Move the request_rec within mod_include to be
546 exposed within include_ctx_t. [Graham Leggett]
548 *) mod_include: Reinstate support for UTF-8 character sets by allowing a
549 variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
550 steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]
552 *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
553 mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
554 provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
555 to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
556 fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
557 set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
560 *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
561 within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
562 and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
563 gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
564 passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
565 This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
566 occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
567 CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
568 the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]
570 *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
571 additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
572 error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
573 lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]

1684 'most' set for '--enable-modules' and '--enable-shared-mods'. Include
1685 mod_mem_cache in 'all' as well. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
1687 *) Also install mod_so.h, mod_rewrite.h and mod_cache.h; as these
1688 contain public function declarations which are useful for
1689 third party module authors. PR 42431 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
1691 *) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: pass the output filter information
1692 to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used
1693 as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
1694 mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
1695 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]
1697 *) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)
1698 for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct
1699 searches on LDAP servers (in particular MS Active Directory 2003+)
1700 using referrals without the use of the global catalog.

1703 *) ApacheMonitor.exe: Introduce --kill argument for use by the
1704 installer. This will permit the installation tool to remove
1705 all running instances before attempting to remove the .exe.
1708 *) mod_ssl: Add support for OCSP validation of client certificates.
1709 PR 41123. [Marc Stern <marc.stern approach.be>, Joe Orton]
1711 *) mod_serf: New module for Reverse Proxying. [Paul Querna]
1713 *) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain
1714 size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
1715 such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
1716 to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
1717 requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]
1719 *) mod_ssl: Fix TLS upgrade (RFC 2817) support. PR 41231. [Joe Orton]
1721 *) scoreboard: Correctly declare ap_time_process_request.
1722 PR 43789 [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
1724 *) core; scoreboard: ap_get_scoreboard_worker(sbh) now takes the sbh member
1725 from the connection rec, ap_get_scoreboard_worker(proc, thread) will now
1726 provide the unusual legacy lookup. [William Rowe]

1731 *) mod_authnz_ldap, mod_authn_dbd: Tidy up the code to expose authn
1732 parameters to the environment. Improve portability to
1733 EBCDIC machines by using apr_toupper(). [Martin Kraemer]
1735 *) mod_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
1736 to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
1737 where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.
1738 PR 42891 [Paul J. Reder]
1740 *) mod_ssl: Add support for caching SSL Sessions in memcached. [Paul Querna]
1742 *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values
1743 when invoked without variable name(s).

1749 *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
1750 entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
1753 *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
1754 cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
1757 *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
1758 on Win32. PR 40476. [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
1760 *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
1761 the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
1762 AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
1763 location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
1765 *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
1766 into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
1767 mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
1769 *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
1770 value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
1771 may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
1772 weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
1774 *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
1776 *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets
1777 the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
1778 bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.

1781 *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
1783 *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
1784 now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
1787 *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
1788 open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
1789 directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
1790 to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
1791 and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
1792 appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
1794 *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
1795 to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
1796 SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
1798 *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
1799 configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
1800 The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than
1801 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
1803 *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
1804 within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.

1827 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
1828 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
1831 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
1832 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
1833 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
1834 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
1836 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
1837 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
1838 support for these directives.
1841 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
1842 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
1843 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
1844 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
1846 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
1847 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
1848 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
1850 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
1851 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
1853 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
1854 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
1855 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
1857 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
1858 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
1860 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
1861 seconds to cache a document.

1864 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
1866 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
1867 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
1869 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
1871 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
1872 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
1873 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
1874 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
1875 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
1877 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
1878 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
1880 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
1882 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
1885 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
1888 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
1889 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
1890 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
