10 *) mod_proxy_ajp: Improve trace logging. [Rainer Jung]
12 *) mod_proxy_ajp: Respect "reuse" flag in END_REPONSE packets.
15 *) mod_proxy: enable absolute URLs to be rewritten with ProxyPassReverse,
16 e.g. to reverse proxy "Location: https://other-internal-server/login"
19 *) prefork, worker, event: Make sure crashes are logged to the error log if
20 httpd has already detached from the console. [Stefan Fritsch]
22 *) prefork, worker, event: Reduce period during startup/restart where a
23 successive signal may be lost. PR 43696. [Arun Bhalla <arun shme net>]
25 *) mod_allowmethods: Correct Merging of "reset" and do not allow an

28 *) configure: Update selection of modules for 'all' and 'most'. 'all' will
29 now enable all modules except for example and test modules. Make the
30 selection for 'most' more useful (including ssl and proxy). Both 'all'
31 and 'most' will now disable modules if dependencies are missing instead
32 of aborting. If a specific module is requested with --enable-XXX=yes,
33 missing dependencies will still cause configure to exit with an error.

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

390 authorization directives were mixed. [Stefan Fritsch]
392 *) mod_authn_socache: change directive name from AuthnCacheProvider
393 to AuthnCacheProvideFor. The term "provider" is overloaded in
394 this module, and we should avoid confusion between the provider
395 of a backend (AuthnCacheSOCache) and the authn provider(s) for
396 which this module provides cacheing (AuthnCacheProvideFor).
399 *) mod_proxy_http: Allocate the fake backend request from a child pool
400 of the backend connection, instead of misusing the pool of the frontend
401 request. Fixes a thread safety issue where buckets set aside in the
402 backend connection leak into other threads, and then disappear when
403 the frontend request is cleaned up, in turn causing corrupted buckets
404 to make other threads spin. [Graham Leggett]
406 *) mod_ssl: Change the format of the SSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_{I,S}_DN variables
407 to be RFC 2253 compatible, convert non-ASCII characters to UTF8, and

409 still be used with the LegacyDNStringFormat argument to SSLOptions.

430 *) core: When selecting an IP-based virtual host, favor an exact match for
431 the port over a wildcard (or omitted) port instead of favoring the one
432 that came first in the configuration file. [Eric Covener]
434 *) core: Overlapping virtual host address/port combinations now implicitly
435 enable name-based virtual hosting for that address. The NameVirtualHost
436 directive has no effect, and _default_ is interpreted the same as "*".

589 running out of space when many small files are cached.

631 'ssl-require' (expressions with same syntax as SSLRequire).

663 variables) along with the system PATH, by default. Both should be
664 overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
667 *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
668 capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
669 against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
670 This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior. [William Rowe]
672 *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
673 comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt. To help bash users and drop
674 the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
675 symlink test operators. [William Rowe]
677 *) mod_cache: Give the cache provider the opportunity to choose to cache
678 or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
679 presence of a FILE bucket.

683 config and allow to cache parsed args. Move 'all' and 'env' authz

688 exposed within include_ctx_t. [Graham Leggett]

691 variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
692 steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]
694 *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
695 mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
696 provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
697 to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
698 fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
699 set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.
702 *) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function
703 within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade
704 and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This
705 gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade
706 passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.
707 This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
708 occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
709 CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
710 the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]
712 *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
713 additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
714 error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
715 lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]

719 *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
720 to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
721 no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
722 behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]
724 *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
725 of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
726 when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]

1713 *) core, authn/z: Determine registered authn/z providers directly in
1714 ap_setup_auth_internal(), which allows optional functions that just
1715 wrapped ap_list_provider_names() to be removed from authn/z modules.

1727 subrequests to support message bodies. Make sure that safety
1728 checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered
1729 when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed
1730 proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]

1734 is correctly inserted to ensure the body can be read a second
1735 time safely should the authn be successful. [Graham Leggett,

1794 attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.

1799 original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests
1800 with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or
1801 providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.
