-*- coding: utf-8 -*- Changes with Apache 2.5.0 *) core: Replace pre_htaccess hook with more flexible open_htaccess hook. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_authnz_ldap: Support primitive LDAP servers that do not accept filters, such as "SDBM-backed LDAP" on z/OS, by allowing a special filter "none" to be specified in AuthLDAPURL. [Eric Covener] *) mod_file_cache: mod_file_cache should be able to serve files that haven't had a Content-Type set via e.g. mod_mime. [Eric Covener] *) core: merge AllowEncodedSlashes from the base configuration into virtual hosts. [Eric Covener] *) mod_headers: Add 'setifempty' command to Header and RequestHeader. [Eric Covener] *) AIX: Install DSO's with "cp" instead of "install" in instdso.sh [Eric Covener] *) mod_ldap: Retry transient LDAP connection errors when they occur during the authorization stage. [Eric Covener] *) mod_ldap: Don't keep retrying if a new LDAP connection times out. [Eric Covener] *) mod_deflate: permit compilation of mod_deflate against a zlib that has been configured with -D Z_PREFIX, which redefines the token "deflate". [Eric Covener] *) mod_socache_shmcb.c: Remove arbitrary restriction on shared memory size previously limited to 64MB. [Jens Låås ] *) mod_auth_digest: Use the secret when generating nonces in all cases and not only when AuthName is used in .htaccess files (this change may cause problems if used with round robin load balancers). Don't regenerate the secret on graceful restarts. PR 54637 [Stefan Fritsch] *) ab: Add a new -l parameter in order not to check the length of the responses. This can be usefull with dynamic pages. PR9945, PR27888, PR42040 [] *) mod_ssl: Fix possible truncation of OCSP responses when reading from the server. [Joe Orton] *) mod_session_dbd: Make sure that dirty flag is respected when saving sessions, and ensure the session ID is changed each time the session changes. [Takashi Sato , Graham Leggett] *) mod_logio: new format-specifier %C (combined) which is the sum of received and sent byte counts. PR54015 [Christophe Jaillet] *) core: Remove apr_brigade_flatten(), buffering and duplicated code from the HTTP_IN filter, parse chunks in a single pass with zero copy. Reduce memory usage by 48 bytes per request. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_deflate: Remove assumptions as to when an EOS bucket might arrive. Gracefully step aside if the body size is zero. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_proxy_http: Make the proxy-interim-response environment variable effective by formally overriding origin server behaviour. [Graham Leggett, Co-Advisor ] *) core: Stop the HTTP_IN filter from attempting to write error buckets to the output filters, which is bogus in the proxy case. Create a clean mapping from APR codes to HTTP status codes, and use it where needed. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_proxy: Ensure we don't attempt to amend a table we are iterating through, ensuring that all headers listed by Connection are removed. [Graham Leggett, Co-Advisor ] *) mod_proxy: Fix seg-faults when using the global pool on threaded MPMs [Thomas Eckert , Jim Jagielski] *) mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as 504 Gateway Timout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway, in order to be compliant with RFC2616 14.9.4 Cache Revalidation and Reload Controls. *) mod_dav: mod_dav overrides dav_fs response on PUT failure. PR 35981 [Basant Kumar Kukreja , Alejandro Alvarez ] *) core, mod_ssl: Lift the restriction that prevents mod_ssl taking full advantage of the event MPM. Enable the ability for a module to reverse the sense of a poll event from a read to a write or vice versa. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_ldap: LDAP connections used for authentication were not respecting LDAPConnectionPoolTimeout. PR 54587 *) core: ap_rgetline_core now pulls from r->proto_input_filters. *) mod_proxy_html: process parsed comments immediately. Fixes bug where parsed comments may be lost. [Nick Kew] *) mod_proxy_html: introduce doctype for HTML 5 [Nick Kew] *) mod_proxy_html: fix typo-bug processing "strict" vs "transitional" HTML/XHTML [Nick Kew] *) core: Add option to add valgrind support. Use it to reduce false positive warnings in mod_ssl. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_authn_file, mod_authn_dbd, mod_authn_dbm, mod_authn_socache: Cache the result of the most recent password hash verification for every keep-alive connection. This saves some expensive calculations. [Stefan Fritsch] *) http: Remove support for Request-Range header sent by Navigator 2-3 and MSIE 3. [Stefan Fritsch] *) core, http: Extend HttpProtocol with an option to enforce stricter HTTP conformance or to only log the found problems. [Stefan Fritsch] *) core: Correctly parse an IPv6 literal host specification in an absolute URL in the request line. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mpm_event: Check that AsyncRequestWorkerFactor is not negative. PR 54254. [Jackie Zhang ] *) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL configuration commands [Stephen Henson] *) EventOpt MPM *) core: Add LogLevelOverride directive that allows to override the loglevel for clients from certain IPs. This also works for things like the SSL handshake where LogLevel ... is evaluated too late. [Stefan Fritsch] *) core: Add new directive Warning to issue warnings from a configuration file. Both Warning and Error now generate a timestamped log message. [Fabien Coelho] *) ap_expr: Add SERVER_PROTOCOL_VERSION, ..._MAJOR, and ..._MINOR variables. [Stefan Fritsch] *) core: New directive RegisterHttpMethod for registering non-standard HTTP methods. [Stefan Fritsch] *) core: New directive HttpProtocol which allows to disable HTTP/0.9 support. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_allowhandlers: New module to forbid specific handlers for specific directories. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux. [Jan Kaluza ] *) core: Add dirwalk_stat and pre_htaccess hooks, allowing mpm-itk to be used without patches to httpd core. [Jeff Trawick] *) WinNT MPM: Store pid and generation for each thread in scoreboard to allow tracking of threads from exiting children via mod_status or other such mechanisms. [Jeff Trawick] *) mod_ssl: Catch missing or mismatched client cert/key pairs with SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile/Path directives. PR 52212. [Keith Burdis , Joe Orton] *) The following now respect DefaultRuntimeDir/DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR: - APIs: ap_log_pid(), ap_remove_pid, ap_read_pid() - core: the scoreboard (ScoreBoardFile), pid file (PidFile), and mutexes (Mutex) - mod_cache: thundering herd lock directory - mod_lbmethod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor: heartbeat storage file - mod_ldap: shared memory cache - mod_socache_shmcb, mod_socache_dbm: shared memory or dbm for cache [Jeff Trawick] *) suexec: Add --enable-suexec-capabilites support on Linux, to use setuid/setgid capability bits rather than a setuid root binary. [Joe Orton] *) suexec: Add support for logging to syslog as an alternative to logging to a file; configure --without-suexec-logfile --with-suexec-syslog. [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. [Guenter Knauf] *) core: In maintainer mode, replace apr_palloc with a version that initializes the allocated memory with non-zero values, except if AP_DEBUG_NO_ALLOC_POISON is defined. [Stefan Fritsch] *) mod_policy: Add a new testing module to help server administrators enforce a configurable level of protocol compliance on their servers and application servers behind theirs. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_firehose: Add a new debugging module able to record traffic passing through the server in such a way that connections and/or requests be reconstructed and replayed. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_noloris *) APREQ *) Simple MPM *) mod_serf [Apache 2.5.0-dev includes those bug fixes and changes with the Apache 2.4.xx tree as documented below, except as noted.] Changes with Apache 2.4.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.4.x/CHANGES?view=markup Changes with Apache 2.2.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/CHANGES?view=markup Changes with Apache 2.0.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/CHANGES?view=markup
