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

296 Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is
297 no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive.

301 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff
304 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
305 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
306 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
307 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
308 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
309 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
310 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
311 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
312 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
313 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
314 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
315 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
316 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
317 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
318 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
319 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
320 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
321 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
322 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
323 of described indirectly in a sample?
324 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
325 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
326 existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people
327 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
328 real httpd usability problem.)
329 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
330 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
331 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
332 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
333 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
334 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
