97 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
99 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
100 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
101 only be made in the trunk.
103 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
104 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
105 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
107 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
112 . non-Unix, single-platform code
114 RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
116 PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
117 [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ]
119 *) core: Disallow multiple Listen on the same IP:port when listener buckets
120 are configured (ListenCoresBucketsRatio > 0), consistently with the single
121 bucket case (default), thus avoiding the leak of the corresponding socket
122 descriptors on graceful restart.
123 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1789220
124 http://svn.apache.org/r1792675
125 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES)

128 *) prefork: This fixes race-condition in signals handling when httpd is
129 runnning on foreground and user hits ctrl+c
130 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1618555
131 2.4.x patch: svn merge -c 1618555 ^/httpd/httpd/trunk .
132 +1: ylavic, jorton, jim
133 jailetc36: untested because I'm unsure on how to reproduce the race, but
134 the patch description looks straighforward.
135 If confirmed, it would worth, IMHO, a CHANGE entry and maybe a
137 [jorton: race, so hard to repro, triggered regularly w/docker.]
139 *) core: ap_server_config_defines and ap_server_{pre,post}_read_config
140 constantness and bytes saving, no functional change.

185 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1610339
186 http://svn.apache.org/r1621806
187 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-mod_journald.patch
189 jchampion: Looks like the headers require GCC extensions to compile, so
190 mod_journald can't be configured in maintainer mode (-std=c89).
191 Can anyone else reproduce, or is it just my distro?
193 *) buildconf: add an apr-config mode, which allows builds to proceed without
194 APR source code as long as a valid APR installation exists.
195 Involves checking in the latest versions of APR's m4 files and
196 the PrintPath helper.
197 trunk patch: https://svn.apache.org/r1780441
198 https://svn.apache.org/r1780470
199 https://svn.apache.org/r1795928
200 2.4.x patch: svn merge -r 1780253:HEAD ^/httpd/httpd/branches/trunk-buildconf-noapr
203 *) docs: add an auto-generated Overrides class index.
204 (I know this is technically CTR, but the new machinery is a little
205 more complex than just a simple docs change. Make sure to svn-up your
206 docs-build directory.)
207 trunk patch: https://svn.apache.org/r1793922
208 https://svn.apache.org/r1793923
209 2.4.x patch: svn merge -r1793921:HEAD ^/httpd/httpd/branches/trunk-override-index
212 *) mod_proxy_wstunnel fix PR 61142
213 2.4.x patch: svn merge -c 1801594 ^/httpd/httpd/trunk .
216 *) Makefile: Use different variables to track normal modules and MPMs during
217 build. Only the enabled MPM is uncommented in the configuration
218 if multiple DSOs are built, and LoadModule for MPMs will now come
219 before LoadModule for the normal modules. Patch by rjung.
220 trunk patch: https://svn.apache.org/r1729235
221 https://svn.apache.org/r1730079
222 https://svn.apache.org/r1801665
223 2.4.x patch: svn merge -c1729235 -c1730079 -c1801665 ^/httpd/httpd/trunk .

247 2.4.x patch: svn merge -c 1803420,1803454,1804090 ^/httpd/httpd/trunk .
248 +1: icing +1: steffenal
250 *) mod_proxy: fix ProxyAddHeaders merging.
251 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1805099&view=rev
252 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works
255 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE BEING WORKED
256 [ New entries should be added at the START of the list ]
258 *) mod_ssl: Return 502 instead of 500 when SSL peer check or
259 proxy_post_handshake hook fails.
260 Trunk patch: r1645529 (works)
261 2.4.x patch which adds CHANGES: https://emptyhammock.com/media/downloads/r1645529-to-2.4.x.txt
263 ylavic: there may be missing bits, see thread for commit r1736510.
265 *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming
266 from a (F)CGI script instead of replacing it with Unix epoch.
267 Warn the users about Last-Modified header value replacements
268 and violations of the RFC.
269 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748379
270 http://svn.apache.org/r1750747
271 http://svn.apache.org/r1750749

275 http://svn.apache.org/r1751147
276 http://svn.apache.org/r1757818
277 2.4.x: trunk patches work, final view:
278 http://home.apache.org/~elukey/httpd-2.4.x-core-last_modified_tz_logging.patch
279 The problem has been discussed in dev@ extensively but we did not reach a common
280 agreement about how to proceed in the long term. While we wait, I would really like
281 to introduce useful logs for the users (the starting point of this change was a users@
282 email thread). If this is not the right way to go I will move the patch to other
283 sections of STATUS (stalled or being worked).
284 The code has been tested with a simple PHP script returning different Last-Modified
285 headers (GMT now, GMT now Europe/Paris, GMT tomorrow, GMT yesterday, PST now).
288 *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if
289 it comes from an origin server, module or script. Allow the previous
290 behaviour (for legacy/buggy modules only, not origin) by also backporting
291 the HttpContentLengthHeadZero directive (and also HttpExpectStrict which
292 comes for free with the same commit).
293 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1554303
294 http://svn.apache.org/r1678215
295 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-preserve_head_cl_zero.patch
297 ylavic: r1554303 issued a major MMN bump, but since the ABI change is two
298 ints added at the end of core_server_config, the proposed merge
299 does a minor bump only.
300 minfrin: Two new directives need to be documented.
302 * mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre-
303 fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed
304 to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the
305 backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime.
306 Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to
307 flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920.
308 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1656259
309 http://svn.apache.org/r1656359 (CHANGES entry)
310 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES, docs/log-message-tags)
312 -0: jim: This seems to be a hit to normal performance, to handle an
313 error and/or non-normal condition. The pre-fetch is
314 expensive, and is always done, even before we know that
315 the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the
316 error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus
317 it seems to allow for a DDoS vector).
318 ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the
319 connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the
320 client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch
321 these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any
322 difference (more cycles) compared with the current code.
323 However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when
324 the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this.
325 Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just
326 make it nonblocking (by default)?
327 jim: Non-blocking seems the best way to handle...
329 * mod_dav: Allow other modules to become providers and add ACLs
330 to the DAV response. Requires a release of apr-util v1.6.
331 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748322
332 2.4.x: trunk works modulo CHANGES/MMN
334 rpluem asks: Will this compile with apr-util < v1.6 and keep
335 mod_dav working (without the new features of the patch of course)?
336 I doubt that we will require apr-util 1.6 for the lifetime of 2.4.x
337 (see the discussion around ap_cstr_casecmp[n] an apr 1.6)
338 minfrin: Yes, as you can see in the patch everything applies only
339 if APR_XML_X2T_PARSED is defined, and the patch was tested with
340 both apr-util v1.6 and apr-util v1.5.
341 -1: jorton, breaks binary backwards compat per dev@ discuss
342 msgid <20160902120654.GA12674@redhat.com>
343 (& also, making the structure change with apr-util version
344 means it breaks binary compat across an apr-util upgrade?)
346 * Support PCRE2 (10.x) in place of PCRE (8.x).
347 Submitted by: wrowe, Petr Pisar [ppisar redhat.com]

353 http://svn.apache.org/r1773870
354 http://svn.apache.org/r1773882
355 wrowe notes that the current code is too inefficient, owing to the fact
356 that the ovector is a required allocation and is no longer allocated on
357 the stack, by design. The correct fix is an apr userdata allocation on
358 the appropriate pool, which would be thread-safe, but the actual API of
359 ap_regexec[_len]() offers us no pool. We cannot associate that pool with
360 the ap_regex_t, because a single regex may be used by many threads in
361 parallel and is not thread-safe beyond initialization.
362 So the only fix allowing us to use PCRE 10 in httpd 2.4 would be to write
363 this as a thread safe storage buffer for the majority of cases (<10 $args)
364 and we don't have a portable tls mechanism to do so.
367 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
369 * core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. This
370 backport keeps syslog logging as part of httpd core and only adds
371 API to allow other modules to be used for error logging.
372 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1525597

383 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-errorlog_provider.patch
385 +1: covener w/ doc or code to fix syntax (providername:providerarg not supported like syslog or socacheproviders,
386 needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual)
387 trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writing to syslog */"
388 (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely)
389 jim: What is the status of this??
391 * mod_proxy: Add ap_proxy_define_match_worker() and use it for ProxyPassMatch
392 and ProxyMatch section to distinguish between normal workers and workers
393 with regex substitutions in the name. Implement handling of such workers
394 in ap_proxy_get_worker(). Fixes the bug when regex workers were not
395 matched and used for request. PR 43513.
396 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1609680
397 http://svn.apache.org/r1609688
398 http://svn.apache.org/r1641381
399 ylavic: Merge patch provided (reusing new->real to avoid double de_socketfy() call).
400 Also added missing r1609688 to the patchset.
401 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_proxy_define_match_worker.patch
403 -0: covener tried to review this one in Austin with Jeff. Does the added match function
404 really cover a very narrow set of parameters with the way it skips over backreferences?
405 Also, why a new API vs. just setting the field inline?
407 * mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.

416 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/mod_systemd/httpd-2.4.x-mod_systemd.patch
418 sf comments: The IdleShutdown logic seems broken. Consider a single
419 active connection that is stalled for 10 seconds. That
420 connection will be broken after GracefulShutdownTimeout.
421 A better logic would be to check if there is any open
422 connection that is not in keep-alive state.
424 * core: Add support for systemd socket activation.

435 504 Gateway Timeout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway

437 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works modulo CHANGES
439 -1: rpluem: This change is still disputed. See
440 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201305.mbox/%3C1B16B9E3-87BA-4EEF-939C-7C7313B54714%40gbiv.com%3E
442 * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
443 compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
444 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.

449 fuankg: on hold until we agree for a better and more simple solution ...
451 * Makefile.win: Added copying of .vbs / .wsf CGIs to Windows install target.
452 Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is
453 no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive.

457 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff
460 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
461 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
462 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
463 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
464 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
465 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
466 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
467 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
468 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
469 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
470 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
471 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
472 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
473 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
474 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
475 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
476 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
477 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
478 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
479 of described indirectly in a sample?
480 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
481 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
482 existing ones and I'll be satisfied that enough people
483 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
484 real httpd usability problem.)
485 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
486 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
487 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
488 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
489 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
490 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
493 * core: block Define and Undefine in vhost and directory context. Because
494 it is EXEC_ON_READ, it "breaks out" of these contexts anyway.

498 +1: covener (I need to review the docs manually in this area)
499 -1: wrowe (blocking will break "working" .conf files on a subversion update
500 meant to pick up security fixes. "Alerting" I would agree to.)
