237 buckets stay exactly APR_BUCKET_BUFF_SIZE long. [Graham Leggett,

241 filter stacks. Can collapse many small buckets into fewer larger
242 buckets, and prevents excessively small chunks being sent over
243 the wire. [Graham Leggett]

345 subrequests to support message bodies. Make sure that safety
346 checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered
347 when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed
348 proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]
350 *) mod_auth_form: Make sure the input filter stack is properly set
351 up before reading the login form. Make sure the kept body filter
352 is correctly inserted to ensure the body can be read a second
353 time safely should the authn be successful. [Graham Leggett,
356 *) mod_request: Insert the KEPT_BODY filter via the insert_filter
357 hook instead of during fixups. Add a safety check to ensure the
358 filters cannot be inserted more than once. [Graham Leggett,

365 merge an error headers _before_ clearing them and _before_
366 merging in the actual entity headers and doing normal
367 hop-by-hop cleansing. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
369 *) cache: retire ap_cache_cacheable_hdrs_out() which was used
370 for both in- and out-put headers; and replace it by a single
371 ap_cache_cacheable_headers() wrapped in a in- and out-put
372 specific ap_cache_cacheable_headers_in()/out(). The latter
373 which will also merge error and ensure content-type. To keep
374 cache modules consistent with ease. This API change bumps
375 up the minor MM by one [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

404 session information in a SQL database via the dbd interface. Useful
405 for sites where session privacy is important. [Graham Leggett]
407 *) mod_session_crypto: Add a session encoding implementation capable
408 of encrypting and decrypting sessions wherever they may be stored.
409 Introduces a level of privacy when sessions are stored on the
410 browser. [Graham Leggett]
412 *) mod_session_cookie: Add a session implementation capable of storing
413 session information within cookies on the browser. Useful for high
414 volume sites where server bound sessions are too resource intensive.
417 *) mod_session: Add a generic session interface to unify the different
418 attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.
421 *) core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests
422 with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to
423 original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests
424 with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or
425 providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.

543 *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
544 into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
545 mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
547 *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
548 value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
549 may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
550 weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]

578 his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads
579 to that value. [Mladen Turk]
581 *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
582 to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
583 SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
585 *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
586 configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
587 The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than
588 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
590 *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
591 within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
592 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
594 *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their
595 final name. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
597 *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
598 performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch]
600 *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
601 [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]
603 *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
604 loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
605 definitions relating to old life_status field.
606 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
608 *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
609 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
611 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
612 [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
614 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
615 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
617 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
618 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
621 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
622 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
623 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
624 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
626 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
627 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
628 support for these directives.
631 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
632 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
633 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
634 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
636 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
637 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
638 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
640 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
641 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
643 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
644 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
645 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
647 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
648 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
650 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
651 seconds to cache a document.
652 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
654 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
656 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
657 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
659 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
661 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
662 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
663 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
664 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
665 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
667 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
668 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
670 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
672 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
675 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
678 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
679 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
680 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
