57 Contributors looking for a mission:
59 * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source.
61 * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/
63 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database:
65 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable
67 After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
69 * Open bugs in the bug database.
71 * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items.
74 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
76 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
77 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
78 only be made in the trunk.
80 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
81 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
82 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
88 PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
89 [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ]
92 PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
93 [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ]
95 * mod_rewrite: Fix RewriteCond integer checks to be parsed correctly.
97 Patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1309602
98 (applies cleanly to 2.4.x)
101 * mod_authz_core: Fix parsing of Require arguments in <AuthzProviderAlias>.
102 Add some logging and an assert for a case that should not happen.
104 Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1311183
105 2.4 patch: Trunk patch works
108 * mod_log_config: Fix %{abc}C truncating cookie values at first "=".

111 2.4 patch: Trunk patch works, add CHANGES:

114 +1: sf, covener, druggeri
116 * mod_ssl: Add support for Next Protocol Negotiation.
118 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1332643
122 sf says: Needs r1345599, too.
123 And wrowe's comment about the 2.2 patch is also valid for 2.4:
124 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1354823
126 * configure: Enforce 1.4.0 as minimum APR version requirement.
128 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1347998
129 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works
132 * mod_rewrite: add "AllowAnyURI" option.
133 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1356115&view=rev
134 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1356813
135 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jorton/httpd-pr52774.patch
136 +1: jorton, covener, druggeri
138 * ldap: Treat LDAP_UNAVAILABLE as a transient error with non-MS
139 LDAP SDKs; seen with OpenLDAP against Novell eDirectory.
140 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1348036&view=rev
141 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works
144 * mod_ssl: Add RFC 5878 support. This allows support of mechansisms
145 such as Certificate Transparency. Note that new
146 mechanisms are supported without software updates.
147 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1352596
148 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ben/httpd-2.4-rfc5878.patch
150 druggeri note: Needs docs for new directive
151 kbrand: depends on an unreleased OpenSSL version (1.0.2), and
152 RFC 5878 is of "Category: Experimental". Seems premature
153 to me to consider for backporting to 2.4/2.2 at this point.
155 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
157 * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
158 compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
159 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
