80 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
82 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
83 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
84 only be made in the trunk.
86 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
87 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
88 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
90 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
94 . non-Unix, single-platform code
98 * mod_ssl: A bug in some older versions of OpenSSL will cause a crash
99 in SSL_get_certificate for servers where the certificate hasn't

116 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works, modulo CHANGES
118 -0 covener: does that mean just loading mod_auth_form w/o mod_request
119 and mod_filter now causes a post-config failure?
120 minfrin: It does, however it would only affect configs where mod_auth_form
121 has been loaded but not used, as any attempt to use mod_auth_form
122 without mod_request and mod_session present would cause the very
123 same failure. Would a warning in the release notes be good enough?
125 * mod_slotmem_shm: Remove wonky and dangerous code that knows about APR
126 internals. We work fine w/o it anyway at this stage.

258 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff
261 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
262 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
263 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
264 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
265 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
266 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
267 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
268 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
269 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
270 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
271 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
272 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
273 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
274 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
275 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
276 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
277 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
278 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
279 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
280 of described indirectly in a sample?
281 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
282 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
283 existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people
284 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
285 real httpd usability problem.)
286 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
287 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
288 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
289 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
290 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
291 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
