260 *) mod_allowmethods: Correct Merging of "reset" and do not allow an
261 empty parameter list for the AllowMethods directive. [Rainer Jung]
263 *) configure: Update selection of modules for 'all' and 'most'. 'all' will

265 selection for 'most' more useful (including ssl and proxy). Both 'all'
266 and 'most' will now disable modules if dependencies are missing instead
267 of aborting. If a specific module is requested with --enable-XXX=yes,
268 missing dependencies will still cause configure to exit with an error.
271 *) mod_ldap: Revert the integration of apr-ldap as ap_ldap which was done
272 in 2.3.13. [Stefan Fritsch]
274 *) core: For '*' or '_default_' vhosts, use a wildcard address of any

326 binary needs PCRE. [Rainer Jung]
328 *) configure: tolerate dependency checking failures for modules if
329 they have been enabled implicitely. [Rainer Jung]
331 *) configure: Allow to specify module specific custom linker flags via
332 the MOD_XXX_LDADD variables. [Rainer Jung]
334 Changes with Apache 2.3.13
336 *) ab: Support specifying the local address to use. PR 48930.

357 *) mod_status: Display information about asynchronous connections in the
358 server-status. PR 44377. [Stefan Fritsch]
360 *) mpm_event: If the number of connections of a process is very high, or if
361 all workers are busy, don't accept new connections in that process.
364 *) mpm_event: Process lingering close asynchronously instead of tying up
365 worker threads. [Jeff Trawick, Stefan Fritsch]

402 mode that does not allow to bypass request access restrictions; new
403 variables DOCUMENT_URI (alias for REQUEST_URI), LAST_MODIFIED; -A as an

405 the consumer; an extensible ap_expr_exec_ctx() API that allows to use that
406 data entry. [Stefan Fritsch]
408 *) mod_include: Merge directory configs instead of one SSI* config directive
409 causing all other per-directory SSI* config directives to be reset.
412 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove DebugLevel option in favour of per-module
413 loglevel. [Stefan Fritsch]

458 processes. Add end_generation hook for notification when the last
459 MPM child of a generation exits. [Jeff Trawick]

462 process as opposed to disabling caching completely. This allows to use
463 the non-shared-memory cache as a workaround for the shared memory cache
464 not being available during graceful restarts. PR 48958. [Stefan Fritsch]
466 *) Add new ap_reserve_module_slots/ap_reserve_module_slots_directive API,
467 necessary if a module (like mod_perl) registers additional modules late
468 in the startup phase. [Stefan Fritsch]

532 *) mod_win32: Added shebang check for '! so that .vbs scripts work as CGI.
533 Win32's cscript interpreter can only use a single quote as comment char.

549 were not active during server startup but got enabled later during a
550 graceful restart. [Stefan Fritsch]
552 *) core: Create new ap_state_query function that allows modules to determine
553 if the current configuration run is the initial one at server startup,

930 mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
931 provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
932 to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
933 fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
934 set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
937 *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
938 within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
939 and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
940 gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
941 passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
942 This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would

2220 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
2221 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
2223 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
2224 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
2225 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
2227 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
2228 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
2230 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
2231 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
2232 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
2234 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
2235 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
2237 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
2238 seconds to cache a document.
2239 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
2241 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
2243 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
2244 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
2246 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
2248 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
2249 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
2250 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
2251 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
2252 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
2254 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
2255 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
2257 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
2259 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
2262 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
2265 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
2266 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
2267 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
