2594 gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
2595 passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
2596 This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would

3852 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
3854 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
3855 [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
3857 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
3858 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
3860 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
3861 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
3864 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
3865 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
3866 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
3867 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
3869 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
3870 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
3871 support for these directives.
3874 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
3875 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
3876 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
3877 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
3879 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
3880 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
3881 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
3883 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
3884 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
3886 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
3887 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
3888 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
3890 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
3891 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
3893 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
3894 seconds to cache a document.
3895 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
3897 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
3899 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
3900 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
3902 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
3904 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
3905 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
3906 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
3907 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
3908 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
3910 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
3911 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
3913 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
3915 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
3918 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
3921 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
3922 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
3923 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
