81 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
83 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
84 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
85 only be made in the trunk.
87 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
88 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
89 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
91 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
95 . non-Unix, single-platform code

117 2.4.x patch: trunk works

167 * mod_alias: Fix segfault in mod_alias introduced in r1132494.
168 AliasMatch does not append unmatched parts of the original URI

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