2 Changes with Apache 2.5.1
4 *) mod_proxy_http: Add new worker parameter 'responsefieldsize' to
5 allow maximum HTTP response header size to be increased past 8192
6 bytes. PR62199. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
8 *) core: Preserve the original HTTP request method in the '%<m' LogFormat
9 when an path-based ErrorDocument is used. PR 62186.
10 [Micha Lenk <micha lenk.info>]
12 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Add hot spare member type and corresponding flag (R). Hot spare members are
13 used as drop-in replacements for unusable workers in the same load balancer set. This differs
14 from hot standbys which are only used when all workers in a set are unusable. PR 61140. [Jim
17 *) mod_logio: Add LogIOTrackTTFU and %^FU logformat to log the time
18 difference between request start and last request body byte read (finished upload).
21 *) mod_ssl: add support for TLSv1.3 (tested with OpenSSL v1.1.1-pre4, other libs may
22 need more sugar). SSL(Proxy)CipherSuite now has an optional first parameter for the
23 protocol the ciphers are for.
24 Directive "SSLVerifyClient" now triggers certificate retrieval from the client (this
25 is not fully tested - but fails in similar fashion as in TLSv1.2 in my setups).
26 Verifying the client fails exactly the same for HTTP/2 connections for all SSL protocols,
27 as this would need to trigger the master connection thread - which we do not support
29 Renegotiation of ciphers is intentionally ignored for TLSv1.3 connections. "SSLCipherSuite"
30 does not allow to specify TLSv1.3 ciphers in a directory context (because it cannot work) and
31 TLSv1.2 or lower ciphers are not relevant, as cipher suites are completely separate.
32 This means there is a bit if a world split when simultaneously having TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3
33 connections to the same server.
36 *) mod_http2: accurate reporting of h2 data input/output per request via mod_logio. Fixes
37 an issue where output sizes where counted n-times on reused slave connections. See
38 gituhub issue: https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/158
41 *) mod_proxy: Do not restrict the maximum pool size for backend connections
42 any longer by the maximum number of threads per process and use a better
43 default if mod_http2 is loaded.
44 [Yann Ylavic, Ruediger Pluem, Stefan Eissing, Gregg Smith]
46 *) mod_ssl: Fix merging of proxy SSL context outside <Proxy> sections,
47 regression introduced in 2.4.30. PR 62232. [Rainer Jung, Yann Ylavic]
49 *) mod_ssl: proper checks for libressl 2.07/8 and its TLSv1_3 support, see PR 62236.
50 [Bernard Spil <brnrd@freebsd.org>]
52 *) mod_http2: on level trace2, log any unsuccessful HTTP/2 direct connection upgrade
53 with base64 encoding to unify its appearance in possible bug reports. [Stefan Eissing]
55 *) mod_cgi: Add CGIScriptTimeout to make mod_cgi's timeout per-directory and
56 independent of the core Timeout directive. PR 62229.
57 [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
59 *) mod_remoteip: Restore compatibility with APR 1.4 (apr_sockaddr_is_wildcard).
62 *) mod_ssl: heavily simplified SSLPolicy. No more user defines, no propxy policies,
63 just the basic "modern", "intermediate" and "old" as specified by Mozilla security.
66 *) mod_remoteip: make proxy-protocol work on slave connections, e.g. in HTTP/2
67 requests. See also https://github.com/roadrunner2/mod-proxy-protocol/issues/6
70 *) mod_md: fixes error in renew window calculation that may lead to mod_md running
71 watchdog in a tight loop until actual renewal becomes necessary. [Stefan Eissing]
73 *) mod_md: /.well-known/acme-challenge requests that cannot be answered for hostnames
74 outside the configured MDs are free to be answered by other handlers. This allows
75 co-existance between mod_md and other ACME clients on the same server (implements PR62189).
76 [Stefan Eissing, Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm@maven.pl>]
78 *) mod_md: Fix compilation with OpenSSL before version 1.0.2. [Rainer Jung]
80 *) core: Create a conn_config_t structure to hold an extendable core config rather
81 than consuming the whole pointer with the connection socket. [Graham Leggett]
83 *) core: adding AP_DECLARE for ap_parse_vhost_addrs() and minor bumb mmn. Resolves
84 building mod_ssl on Windows. [Stefan Eissing, Gregg Smith]
86 *) mod_http2: discourage gzip/brotli content encoding on http2-status responses as
87 they are inserted into the reponse when filters are already done. [Stefan Eissing]
89 *) core: adding defines to allow interworking with honggfuzz without
90 further patches. [Stefan Eissing, Robert Swiecki]
92 *) mod_headers: 'RequestHeader set|edit|edit_r Content-Type X' could
93 inadvertently modify the Content-Type _response_ header. Applies to
94 Content-Type only and likely to only affect static file responses.
97 *) mod_cgi: Improve AH01215 messages to make it more clear that the message is
98 the CGI scripts stderr output. PR 61980. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
100 *) mod_headers: Allow 'Header unset Content-Type' to remove the Content-Type
101 header. PR 61983. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
103 *) mod_md v1.1.8: new configuration directive "MDBaseServer on|off" to allow/inhibit
104 management of the base server domains outside VirtualHosts. By default, this is "off",
105 e.g. mod_md will not manage certificates or perform https: redirections on the
106 base server. [Stefan Eissing]
108 *) core: Add "AcceptErrorsNonFatal" to allow ECONNREFUSED, ECONNABORTED, and
109 ECONNRESET during the client accept() to not trigger graceful shutdown of
110 the child process. [Eric Covener]
113 - MDMustStaple was unable to create the necessary OpenSSL OBJ identifier on some platforms,
114 possibly because this fails if the OID is already configured in ```openssl.cnf```, see
115 [here](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/2795).
116 - Two memory leaks in cert issuer and alt-names lookup eliminated by Yann Ylavic.
117 - Changing MDMustStaple triggers certificate renewal.
118 - More verbosity when *not* handing out certificates, e.g. mod_ssl asks, but mod_md has no
119 idea what it is talking about. Some people report misbehaviour here.
120 - Re-enabled support for md_get_credentials() function that was used in older mod_ssl
121 patch, so that people with old patched servers get a chance to upgrade.
122 [Stefan Eissing, Yann Ylavic]
124 *) mod_susbtitute: Allow expressions in the subtitution, prefixed with expr=
127 *) mod_md: fixed mem pool usage for auto-added server names. Added
128 error logging of exact ACME response when challenges failed.
131 *) mod_dumpio: do nothing below log level TRACE7. [Yann Ylavic]
133 *) mod_md: reverses most of v1.0.5 optimization of post_config init, so that
134 mod_ssl can ask for certiticates without crashing. [Stefan Eissing]
136 *) mod_proxy: allow SSLProxyCheckPeer* usage for all proxy modules.
137 PR 61857. [Yann Ylavic]
139 *) mod_proxy_html: fix handling of <meta http-equiv> elements.
142 *) mod_md: fixed backward compatibility to old <ManagedDomain configuration.
143 Add higher level WARNING log when initial request to ACME server fails, mentioning
144 some advice. [Stefan Eissing]
146 *) mod_md: name change in configuration directives. The old names are still working
147 in this version, so you can safely upgrade. They will give warnings in the log and
148 will disappear in the immediate future. ManagedDomain is now MDomain,
149 <ManagedDomain> is now <MDomainSet>. [Stefan Eissing]
151 *) mod_ssl: renamed section <SSLPolicy to <SSLPolicyDefine. Fixed behaviour
152 for new server config merge flag. Denying global, only once used directives
153 inside a SSLPolicyDefine. [Stefan Eissing]
155 *) mod_auth_basic: Be less tolerant when parsing the credencial. Only spaces
156 should be accepted after the authorization scheme. \t are also tolerated.
159 *) mod_http2: fixed unfair scheduling when number of active connections
160 exceeded the scheduling fifo capacity. [Stefan Eissing]
162 *) core: Support zone/scope in IPv6 link-local addresses in Listen and
163 VirtualHost directives (requires APR 1.7.x or later). PR 59396. [Joe Orton]
165 *) mod_md: v1.0.5, restricting post_config dry run to be more silent and performing
166 only necessary work for mod_ssl to be also happy with the configuration.
169 *) mod_md: v1.0.4, removed the 'a2md' utility command from build. Only used in github
170 testing. Avoid problems with our build system that had problems after the latest
171 changes to make a clean initial build. Remove the windows a2md.dsp therefore also.
174 *) mod_ssl: Fail with 403 if the username for FakeBasicAuth mode
175 includes a colon character. PR 52644. [Joe Orton]
177 *) mod_md: v1.0.3, fixed various bugs in persisting job properties, so that status is
178 persisted accross child process changes and staging is reset on reloads. Changed
179 MDCertificateAgreement url checks. As long as the CA reports that the account has
180 an agreement, no further checking is done. Existing accounts need no changes when
181 a new agreement comes out. [Stefan Eissing]
183 *) mod_watchdog: Correct some log messages. [Rainer Jung]
185 *) mod_noloris: complete build setup. [Rainer Jung]
187 *) mod_md: fix static compilation. [Rainer Jung]
189 *) mod_md: fix compilation of helper binary a2md. [Rainer Jung]
191 *) core: fix pcre feature detection in configure when using pcre2. [Rainer Jung]
193 Changes with Apache 2.5.0-alpha
195 *) mod_md: v1.0.1, ServerName/Alias names from pure-http: virtual hosts are no longer
196 auto-added to a Managed Domain. Error counts of jobs are presisted. When the server
197 restarts (gracefully) any errored staging areas are purged to reset the signup/renewal
198 process. [Stefan Eissing]
200 *) mod_md: v1.0.0, new config directive 'MDNotifyCmd' to hook in a program when Managed
201 Domains have obtained/renewed their certificates successfully. [Stefan Eissing]
203 *) mod_md: v0.9.9, fix for applying challenge type based on available ports. [Stefan Eissing]
206 - Use of the new module flag
207 - Removed obsolete function from interface to mod_ssl.
208 - Fallback certificates has version set and no longer claims to be a CA. (re issue #32)
209 - MDRequireHttps now happens before any Redirect.
212 *) mod_ssl: unshare SSLSrvConfigRec instances between base server and virtual hosts. This avoids
213 overwrites of later initializattions (vhost_id), selective disables by "SSLEngine addr-list"
214 and certificate/key pickup from mod_md. [Stefan Eissing]
216 *) mod_md: v0.9.6: a "MDRequireHttps permament" configured domain automatically sends out
217 HSTS (rfc 6797) headers in https: responses. [Stefan Eissing]
219 *) mod_ssl: adding ssl_policies.h[.in] for policy cipher/protocol definitions. Use
220 update_policies.py to update manually from Mozilla JSON definitions at
221 https://statics.tls.security.mozilla.org/server-side-tls-conf.json
225 - New directive (srly: what do you expect at this point?) "MDMustStaple on|off" to control if
226 new certificates are requested with the OCSP Must Staple extension.
227 - Known limitation: when the server is configured to ditch and restart child processes, for example
228 after a certain number of connections/requests, the mod_md watchdog instance might migrate
229 to a new child process. Since not all its state is persisted, some messsages might appear a
230 second time in the logs.
231 - Adding checks when 'MDRequireHttps' is used. It is considered an error when 'MDPortMap 443:-'
232 is used - which negates that a https: port exists. Also, a warning is logged if no
233 VirtualHost can be found for a Managed Domain that has port 443 (or the mapped one) in
235 - New directive 'MDRequireHttps' for redirecting http: traffic to a Managed Domain, permanently
237 - Fix for using a fallback certificate on initial signup of a Managed Domain. Requires also
238 a changed mod_ssl patch (v5) to take effect.
239 - compatibility with libressl
242 *) mod_md: v0.9.2: new directive 'MDHttpProxy' to define a proxy for outgoing connection,
243 some minor bugfixes, twiddle the build system to avoid non-pic code generation.
247 - various fixes in MDRenewWindow handling when specifying percent. Serialization changed. If
248 someone already used percent configurations, it is advised to change these to a new value,
249 reload and change back to the wanted ones.
250 - various fixes in handling of MDPrivateKeys when specifying 2048 bits (the default) explicitly.
251 - mod_md version removed from top level md_store.json file. The store has its own format version
252 to facilitate upgrades.
256 Certificate provisioning from Let's Encrypt (and other ACME CAs) for mod_ssl virtual hosts.
259 *) mod_ssl: add SSLPolicy (define/use) and SSLProxyPolicy directives plus documentation. Add
260 core definitions for policies 'modern', 'intermediate' and 'old', as defined by Mozilla
261 in <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS>. [Stefan Eissing]
263 *) mod_md: new module for managing domains across VirtualHosts with ACME protocol
264 implementation for automated certificate signup and renewal. Default CA is
265 the test area of Let's Encrypt right now, so certificates root will not be valid.
266 Will be switched to the real service endpoint rather soon. If you need it now,
267 configure 'MDCertificateAuthority https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory'.
270 *) mod_rewrite: Add 'RewriteOptions LongURLOptimization' to free memory
271 from each set of unmatched rewrite conditions.
274 *) Allow the argument to <IfFile>, <IfDefine>, <IfSection>, <IfDirective>,
275 and <IfModule> to be quoted. This is primarily for the benefit of
276 <IfFile>. [Eric Covener]
278 *) Introduce request taint checking framework to prevent privilege
279 hijacking through .htaccess. [Nick Kew]
281 *) Add <IfDirective> and <IfSection> directives. [Joe Orton]
283 *) When using mod_status with the Event MPM, report the number of requests
284 associated with an active connection in the "ACC" field. Previously
285 zero was always reported with this MPM. PR60647. [Eric Covener]
287 *) mod_remoteip: When overriding the useragent address from X-Forwarded-For,
288 zero out what had been initialized as the connection-level port. PR59931.
289 [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
291 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Reliably run before mod_proxy_http.
294 *) http: Allow unknown response status' lines returned in the form of
295 "HTTP/x.x xxx Status xxx". [Yann Ylavic]
297 *) core: Add <IfFile> configuration section to allow any file on disk to be
298 used as a conditional. [Edward Lu, Eric Covener]
300 *) mod_crypto: Add the all purpose crypto filters with support for HLS.
303 *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming
304 from a FCGI/CGI script instead of replacing it with Unix epoch.
305 Warn the users about Last-Modified header value replacements
306 and violations of the RFC.
307 [Yann Ylavic, Luca Toscano, William Rowe, Jacob Champion]
309 *) mod_dav: Allow other modules to become providers and add ACLs
311 [Jari Urpalainen <jari.urpalainen nokia.com>, Graham Leggett]
313 *) mod_dav: Add dav_begin_multistatus, dav_send_one_response,
314 dav_finish_multistatus, dav_send_multistatus, dav_handle_err,
315 dav_failed_proppatch, dav_success_proppatch to mod_dav.h.
316 [Jari Urpalainen <jari.urpalainen nokia.com>, Graham Leggett]
318 *) core: explicitly exclude 'h2' from protocols announced via an Upgrade:
319 header as commanded by http-wg. [Stefan Eissing]
321 *) mod_proxy_ajp: Add "secret" parameter to proxy workers to implement legacy
322 AJP13 authentication. PR 53098. [Dmitry A. Bakshaev <dab1818 gmail com>]
324 *) mpm: Generalise the ap_mpm_register_socket functions to accept pipes
325 or sockets. [Graham Leggett]
327 *) core: Extend support for setting aside data from the network input filter
328 to any connection or request input filter. [Graham Leggett]
330 *) core: Split ap_create_request() from ap_read_request(). [Graham Leggett]
332 *) mod_auth_digest: Fix compatibility with expression-based Authname. PR59039.
335 *) mpm: Add a complete_connection hook that confirms whether an MPM is allowed
336 to leave the WRITE_COMPLETION phase. Move filter code out of the MPMs.
339 *) mod_cache: Consider Cache-Control: s-maxage in expiration
340 calculations. [Eric Covener]
342 *) mod_cache: Allow caching of responses with an Expires header
343 in the past that also has Cache-Control: max-age or s-maxage.
344 PR55156. [Eric Covener]
346 *) mod_session: Introduce SessionExpiryUpdateInterval which allows to
347 configure the session/cookie expiry's update interval. PR 57300.
348 [Paul Spangler <paul.spangler ni.com>]
350 *) core: Extend support for asynchronous write completion from the
351 network filter to any connection or request filter. [Graham Leggett]
353 *) mod_auth_digest: remove AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack which is no
354 more documented since dec 2012 (r1415960). [Christophe Jaillet]
356 *) mod_charset_lite: On EBCDIC platforms, make sure mod_charset_lite runs
357 after other resource-level filters. [Eric Covener]
359 *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if
360 it comes from an origin server, module or script. [Yann Ylavic]
362 *) http: Add support for RFC2324/RFC7168. [Graham Leggett]
364 *) mod_authn_core: Add expression support to AuthName and AuthType.
367 *) suexec: Filter out the HTTP_PROXY environment variable because it is
368 treated as alias for http_proxy by some programs. [Stefan Fritsch]
370 *) mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre-
371 fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed
372 to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the
373 backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime.
374 Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to
375 flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920. [Yann Ylavic]
377 *) core: Define and UnDefine are no longer permitted in
378 directory context. Previously they would always be evaulated
379 as the configuration was read without regard for the directory
380 context. [Eric Covener]
382 *) config: For directives that do not expect any arguments, enforce
383 that none are specified in the configuration file.
384 [Joachim Zobel <jzobel heute-morgen.de>, Eric Covener]
386 *) mod_rewrite: Improve 'bad flag delimeters' startup error by showing
387 how the input was tokenized. PR 56528. [Edward Lu <Chaosed0 gmail.com>]
389 *) mod_proxy: Don't put non balancer-member workers in error state by
390 default for connection or 500/503 errors, and honor status=+I for
391 any error. PR 48388. [Yann Ylavic]
393 *) ap_expr: Add filemod function for checking file modification dates
396 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Resolve crashes with LDAP authz and non-LDAP authn since
397 r1608202. [Eric Covener]
399 *) apreq: Content-Length header should be always interpreted as a decimal.
400 Leading 0 could be erroneously considered as an octal value. PR 56598.
401 [Chris Card <ctcard hotmail com>]
403 *) mod_proxy: Now allow for 191 character worker names, with non-fatal
404 errors if name is truncated. PR53218. [Jim Jagielski]
406 *) mod_ssl: Add optional function "ssl_get_tls_cb" to allow support
407 for channel bindings. [Simo Sorce <simo redhat.com>]
409 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Concurrent websockets messages could be
410 lost or delayed with ProxyWebsocketAsync enabled.
411 [Edward Lu <Chaosed0 gmail.com>]
413 *) core, mod_info: Add compiled and loaded PCRE versions to version
414 number display. [Rainer Jung]
416 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Return LDAP connections to the pool before the handler
417 is run, instead of waiting until the end of the request. [Eric Covener]
419 *) mod_proxy_html: support automatic detection of doctype and processing
420 of FPIs. PR56285 [Micha Lenk <micha lenk info>, Nick Kew]
422 *) core: Add ap_mpm_resume_suspended() API to allow a suspended connection
424 [Artem <artemciy gmail.com>, Edward Lu <Chaosed0 gmail.com>]
426 *) core: Add ap_mpm_register_socket_callback_timeout() API. [Eric Covener]
428 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Honor ProxyWebsocketIdleTimeout in asynchronous
429 processing mode. [Eric Covener]
431 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Fail explicitly when the filter is too long. Remove
432 unnecessary apr_pstrdup() and strlen(). [Graham Leggett]
434 *) Add the ldap-search option to mod_authnz_ldap, allowing authorization
435 to be based on arbitrary expressions that do not include the username.
438 *) Add the ldap function to the expression API, allowing LDAP filters and
439 distinguished names based on expressions to be escaped correctly to
440 guard against LDAP injection. [Graham Leggett]
442 *) Add module mod_ssl_ct, which provides an implementation of Certificate
443 Transparency (RFC 6962) for httpd. [Jeff Trawick]
445 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Avoid sending error responses down an upgraded
446 websockets connection as it is being close down. [Eric Covener]
448 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Allow the administrator to cap the amount
449 of time a synchronous websockets connection stays idle with
450 ProxyWebsocketIdleTimeout. [Eric Covener]
452 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Change to opt-in for asynchronous support, adding
453 directives ProxyWebsocketAsync and ProxyWebsocketAsyncDelay.
456 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Stop leaking websockets backend connections under
457 event MPM (trunk-only). [Eric Covener]
459 *) mod_proxy_http: Add detach_backend hook (potentially usable
460 in other proxy scheme handlers). [Jeff Trawick]
462 *) mod_deflate: Add DeflateAlterETag to control how the ETag
463 is modified. The 'NoChange' parameter mimics 2.2.x behavior.
464 PR 45023, PR 39727. [Eric Covener]
466 *) mod_dir: Default to 2.2-like behavior and skip execution when method is
467 neither GET nor POST, such as for DAV requests. PR 54914. [Chris Darroch]
469 *) mod_rewrite: Rename the handler that does per-directory internal
470 redirects to "rewrite-redirect-handler" from "redirect-handler" so
471 it is less ambiguous and less likely to be reused. [Eric Covener]
473 *) mod_rewrite: Protect against looping with the [N] flag by enforcing a
474 default limit of 10000 iterations, and allowing each rule to change its
475 limit. [Eric Covener]
477 *) mod_ssl: Fix config merging of SSLOCSPEnable and SSLOCSPOverrideResponder.
480 *) Add HttpContentLengthHeadZero and HttpExpectStrict directives.
481 [Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda inktank com>, Justin Erenkrantz]
483 *) mod_ssl: Add -t -DDUMP_CA_CERTS option which dumps the filenames of all
484 configured SSL CA certificates to stdout the same way as DUMP_CERTS does.
487 *) mod_ssl: Don't flush when an EOS is received. Prepares mod_ssl
488 to support write completion. [Graham Leggett]
490 *) core: Add parse_errorlog_arg callback to ap_errorlog_provider
491 to allow providers to check the ErrorLog argument. [Jan Kaluza]
493 *) mod_cgid: Use the servers Timeout for each read from a CGI script,
494 allow override with new CGIDRequestTimeout directive. PR43494
495 [Eric Covener, Toshikuni Fukaya <toshikuni-fukaya cybozu co jp>]
497 *) core: ensure any abnormal exit is reported to stderr if it's a tty.
500 *) mod_lua: Let the Inter-VM get/set functions work with a global
501 shared memory pool instead of a per-process pool. [Daniel Gruno]
503 *) ldap: Support ldaps when using the Microsoft LDAP SDK.
504 PR 54626. [Jean-Frederic Clere]
506 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Change default value of AuthLDAPMaxSubGroupDepth to 0
507 to avoid performance problems when subgroups aren't in use. [Eric Covener]
509 *) mod_syslog: New module implementing syslog ap_error_log provider.
510 Previously, this code was part of core, now it's in separate module.
513 *) core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. Move
514 syslog support from core to new mod_syslog. [Jan Kaluza]
516 *) mod_status, mod_echo: Fix the display of client addresses.
517 They were truncated to 31 characters which is not enough for IPv6 addresses.
518 PR 54848 [Bernhard Schmidt <berni birkenwald de>]
520 *) core: merge AllowEncodedSlashes from the base configuration into
521 virtual hosts. [Eric Covener]
523 *) AIX: Install DSO's with "cp" instead of "install" in instdso.sh
526 *) mod_ldap: Don't keep retrying if a new LDAP connection times out.
529 *) mod_deflate: permit compilation of mod_deflate against a zlib that has
530 been configured with -D Z_PREFIX, which redefines the token "deflate".
533 *) mod_auth_digest: Use the secret when generating nonces in all cases and
534 not only when AuthName is used in .htaccess files (this change may cause
535 problems if used with round robin load balancers). Don't regenerate the
536 secret on graceful restarts. PR 54637 [Stefan Fritsch]
538 *) core: Stop the HTTP_IN filter from attempting to write error buckets
539 to the output filters, which is bogus in the proxy case. Create a
540 clean mapping from APR codes to HTTP status codes, and use it where
541 needed. [Graham Leggett]
543 *) mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as
544 504 Gateway Timout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway, in order to be
545 compliant with RFC2616 14.9.4 Cache Revalidation and Reload Controls.

551 *) mod_ldap: LDAP connections used for authentication were not respecting
552 LDAPConnectionPoolTimeout. PR 54587
554 *) core: Add option to add valgrind support. Use it to reduce false positive
555 warnings in mod_ssl. [Stefan Fritsch]
557 *) mod_authn_file, mod_authn_dbd, mod_authn_dbm, mod_authn_socache:
558 Cache the result of the most recent password hash verification for every
559 keep-alive connection. This saves some expensive calculations.
562 *) http: Remove support for Request-Range header sent by Navigator 2-3 and
563 MSIE 3. [Stefan Fritsch]
565 *) core, http: Extend HttpProtocol with an option to enforce stricter HTTP
566 conformance or to only log the found problems. [Stefan Fritsch]
570 *) core: Add LogLevelOverride directive that allows to override the
571 loglevel for clients from certain IPs. This also works for things
572 like the SSL handshake where <If> LogLevel ... </If> is evaluated
573 too late. [Stefan Fritsch]
575 *) core: Add new directive Warning to issue warnings from a configuration
576 file. Both Warning and Error now generate a timestamped log message.
579 *) ap_expr: Add SERVER_PROTOCOL_VERSION, ..._MAJOR, and ..._MINOR
580 variables. [Stefan Fritsch]
582 *) core: New directive HttpProtocol which allows to disable HTTP/0.9
583 support. [Stefan Fritsch]
585 *) mod_allowhandlers: New module to forbid specific handlers for specific
586 directories. [Stefan Fritsch]
588 *) mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.
589 [Jan Kaluza <jkaluza redhat.com>]
591 *) WinNT MPM: Store pid and generation for each thread in scoreboard
592 to allow tracking of threads from exiting children via mod_status
593 or other such mechanisms. [Jeff Trawick]
595 *) The following now respect DefaultRuntimeDir/DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR:
596 - APIs: ap_log_pid(), ap_remove_pid, ap_read_pid()
597 - mod_cache: thundering herd lock directory
598 - mod_lbmethod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor: heartbeat storage file
599 - mod_ldap: shared memory cache
600 - mod_socache_shmcb, mod_socache_dbm: shared memory or dbm for cache
603 *) suexec: Add --enable-suexec-capabilites support on Linux, to use
604 setuid/setgid capability bits rather than a setuid root binary.
607 *) suexec: Add support for logging to syslog as an alternative to logging
608 to a file; configure --without-suexec-logfile --with-suexec-syslog.
611 *) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation. PR 52210.
612 [Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]
614 *) cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will
615 be compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
616 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
617 PR 51257. [Guenter Knauf]
619 *) core: In maintainer mode, replace apr_palloc with a version that
620 initializes the allocated memory with non-zero values, except if
621 AP_DEBUG_NO_ALLOC_POISON is defined. [Stefan Fritsch]
623 *) mod_policy: Add a new testing module to help server administrators
624 enforce a configurable level of protocol compliance on their
625 servers and application servers behind theirs. [Graham Leggett]
627 *) mod_firehose: Add a new debugging module able to record traffic
628 passing through the server in such a way that connections and/or
629 requests be reconstructed and replayed. [Graham Leggett]
