67 * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source.
69 * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/
71 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database:
73 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable
75 After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
77 * Open bugs in the bug database.
79 * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items.
82 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
84 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
85 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
86 only be made in the trunk.
88 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
89 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
90 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
92 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
96 . non-Unix, single-platform code
102 PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
103 [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ]
105 * mod_ldap: 2.4.10 regression: Some authorization searches won't use AuthLDAPBindDN
106 which can lead to LDAP authz failurs if AuthLDAPBindDN had extra access.
107 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1613682
108 2.4.x patch: trunk works + CHANGES referencing 2.4.10 regression
109 +1: covener, jim, rjung
111 * mod_dav: set r->status_line in dav_error_response.
112 It's used as argument in next ap_rvputs call. PR 55426.

115 +1: jkaluza, ylavic, rjung

127 +1: ylavic, jorton, rjung (as is)
128 covener: I did not look in depth, but is the preceding log message also bad?
129 ylavic: No, this concerns the next for (;; e = APR_BUCKET_NEXT(e)) iteration.
130 We could also s/apr_bucket_delete/APR_BUCKET_REMOVE/ instead, but
131 stripping some (unhandled) buckets from the source brigade does
132 not look correct to me either (brigade *to is to be consumed, but
133 *from is still living, the caller may want to reuse it, eg:
134 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=31686).

299 * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
300 compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
301 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.

316 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1354823
318 * Makefile.win: Added copying of .vbs / .wsf CGIs to Windows install target.
319 Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is
320 no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive.

324 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff
327 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
328 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
329 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
330 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
331 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
332 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
333 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
334 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
335 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
336 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
337 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
338 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
339 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
340 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
341 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
342 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
343 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
344 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
345 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
346 of described indirectly in a sample?
347 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
348 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
349 existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people
350 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
351 real httpd usability problem.)
352 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
353 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
354 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
355 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
356 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
357 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
