99 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
101 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
102 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
103 only be made in the trunk.
105 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
106 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
107 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
109 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
114 . non-Unix, single-platform code
116 RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

246 2.4 convenience patch (includes CHANGES):
247 http://people.apache.org/~druggeri/patches/RemoteIPProxyProtocol.2.4.x.patch
249 -1: wrowe (as noted on list, not limiting to inbound primary pre_conn
250 scope correctly; lots of redundant code happpening per-request
251 for a per-connection behavior. Investigating further.)
253 *) mod_ssl: Return 502 instead of 500 when SSL peer check or
254 proxy_post_handshake hook fails.
255 Trunk patch: r1645529 (works)
256 2.4.x patch which adds CHANGES: https://emptyhammock.com/media/downloads/r1645529-to-2.4.x.txt
258 ylavic: there may be missing bits, see thread for commit r1736510.
260 *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming
261 from a (F)CGI script instead of replacing it with Unix epoch.
262 Warn the users about Last-Modified header value replacements
263 and violations of the RFC.
264 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748379
265 http://svn.apache.org/r1750747

272 2.4.x: trunk patches work, final view:
273 http://home.apache.org/~elukey/httpd-2.4.x-core-last_modified_tz_logging.patch
274 The problem has been discussed in dev@ extensively but we did not reach a common
275 agreement about how to proceed in the long term. While we wait, I would really like
276 to introduce useful logs for the users (the starting point of this change was a users@
277 email thread). If this is not the right way to go I will move the patch to other
278 sections of STATUS (stalled or being worked).
279 The code has been tested with a simple PHP script returning different Last-Modified
280 headers (GMT now, GMT now Europe/Paris, GMT tomorrow, GMT yesterday, PST now).
283 *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if
284 it comes from an origin server, module or script. Allow the previous
285 behaviour (for legacy/buggy modules only, not origin) by also backporting
286 the HttpContentLengthHeadZero directive (and also HttpExpectStrict which
287 comes for free with the same commit).
288 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1554303
289 http://svn.apache.org/r1678215
290 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-preserve_head_cl_zero.patch
292 ylavic: r1554303 issued a major MMN bump, but since the ABI change is two
293 ints added at the end of core_server_config, the proposed merge
294 does a minor bump only.
295 minfrin: Two new directives need to be documented.
297 * mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre-
298 fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed
299 to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the
300 backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime.
301 Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to
302 flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920.
303 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1656259
304 http://svn.apache.org/r1656359 (CHANGES entry)
305 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES, docs/log-message-tags)
307 -0: jim: This seems to be a hit to normal performance, to handle an
308 error and/or non-normal condition. The pre-fetch is
309 expensive, and is always done, even before we know that
310 the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the
311 error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus
312 it seems to allow for a DDoS vector).
313 ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the
314 connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the
315 client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch
316 these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any
317 difference (more cycles) compared with the current code.
318 However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when
319 the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this.
320 Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just
321 make it nonblocking (by default)?
322 jim: Non-blocking seems the best way to handle...
324 * mod_dav: Allow other modules to become providers and add ACLs
325 to the DAV response. Requires a release of apr-util v1.6.
326 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748322
327 2.4.x: trunk works modulo CHANGES/MMN
329 rpluem asks: Will this compile with apr-util < v1.6 and keep
330 mod_dav working (without the new features of the patch of course)?
331 I doubt that we will require apr-util 1.6 for the lifetime of 2.4.x
332 (see the discussion around ap_cstr_casecmp[n] an apr 1.6)
333 minfrin: Yes, as you can see in the patch everything applies only
334 if APR_XML_X2T_PARSED is defined, and the patch was tested with
335 both apr-util v1.6 and apr-util v1.5.
336 -1: jorton, breaks binary backwards compat per dev@ discuss
337 msgid <20160902120654.GA12674@redhat.com>
338 (& also, making the structure change with apr-util version
339 means it breaks binary compat across an apr-util upgrade?)
341 * Support PCRE2 (10.x) in place of PCRE (8.x).
342 Submitted by: wrowe, Petr Pisar [ppisar redhat.com]

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

378 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-errorlog_provider.patch
380 +1: covener w/ doc or code to fix syntax (providername:providerarg not supported like syslog or socacheproviders,
381 needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual)
382 trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writing to syslog */"
383 (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely)
384 jim: What is the status of this??
386 * mod_proxy: Add ap_proxy_define_match_worker() and use it for ProxyPassMatch
387 and ProxyMatch section to distinguish between normal workers and workers
388 with regex substitutions in the name. Implement handling of such workers
389 in ap_proxy_get_worker(). Fixes the bug when regex workers were not
390 matched and used for request. PR 43513.

392 http://svn.apache.org/r1609688
393 http://svn.apache.org/r1641381
394 ylavic: Merge patch provided (reusing new->real to avoid double de_socketfy() call).
395 Also added missing r1609688 to the patchset.
396 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_proxy_define_match_worker.patch
398 -0: covener tried to review this one in Austin with Jeff. Does the added match function
399 really cover a very narrow set of parameters with the way it skips over backreferences?
400 Also, why a new API vs. just setting the field inline?
402 * mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.

413 sf comments: The IdleShutdown logic seems broken. Consider a single
414 active connection that is stalled for 10 seconds. That
415 connection will be broken after GracefulShutdownTimeout.
416 A better logic would be to check if there is any open
417 connection that is not in keep-alive state.
419 * mod_journald: Add new module mod_journald to log error logs into journald.

445 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works modulo CHANGES
447 -1: rpluem: This change is still disputed. See
448 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201305.mbox/%3C1B16B9E3-87BA-4EEF-939C-7C7313B54714%40gbiv.com%3E
450 * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
451 compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
452 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.

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

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

505 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~covener/patches/2.4.x-define-limits.diff
506 +1: covener (I need to review the docs manually in this area)
507 -1: wrowe (blocking will break "working" .conf files on a subversion update
508 meant to pick up security fixes. "Alerting" I would agree to.)
