[Daniel Gruno] *) mod_lua: Add functions r:flush and r:sendfile as well as additional request information to the request_rec structure. [Daniel Gruno] *) mod_lua: Add a server scope for Lua states, which creates a pool of states with managable minimum and maximum size. [Daniel Gruno] *) core: Add post_perdir_config hook. [Steinar Gunderson ] *) mod_lua: Add new directive, LuaMapHandler, for dynamically mapping URIs to Lua scripts and functions using regular expressions.

[Joe Orton] *) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation. PR 52210. [Matthew Steele ] *) cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler. Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected. PR 51257.
