+ PR58188, PR60831, PR61245. [Rainer Jung]
+
+ *) mod_http2: disable and give warning when mpm_prefork is encountered. The server will
+ continue to work, but HTTP/2 will no longer be negotiated. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) Allow single-char field names inadvertantly disallowed in 2.4.25.
+ PR 61220. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) htpasswd / htdigest: Do not apply the strict permissions of the temporary
+ passwd file to a possibly existing passwd file. PR 61240. [Ruediger Pluem]

Changes with Apache 2.4.26
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7679 (cve.mitre.org)
+ mod_mime can read one byte past the end of a buffer when sending a
+ malicious Content-Type response header. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7668 (cve.mitre.org)
+ The HTTP strict parsing changes added in 2.2.32 and 2.4.24 introduced a
+ bug in token list parsing, which allows ap_find_token() to search past
+ the end of its input string. By maliciously crafting a sequence of
+ request headers, an attacker may be able to cause a segmentation fault,
+ or to force ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value.
+ [Jacob Champion]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7659 (cve.mitre.org)
+ A maliciously constructed HTTP/2 request could cause mod_http2 to
+ dereference a NULL pointer and crash the server process.
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-3169 (cve.mitre.org)
+ mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call
+ ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port.
+ [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2017-3167 (cve.mitre.org)
+ Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules outside of the
+ authentication phase may lead to authentication requirements being
+ bypassed.
+ [Emmanuel Dreyfus <manu netbsd.org>, Jacob Champion, Eric Covener]
+
+ *) HTTP/2 support no longer tagged as "experimental" but is instead considered
+ fully production ready.
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fix for possible CPU busy loop introduced in v1.10.3 where a stream may keep
+ the session in continuous check for state changes that never happen.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Add "upgrade" parameter to allow upgrade to other
+ protocols. [Jean-Frederic Clere]
+
+ *) MPMs unix: Place signals handlers and helpers out of DSOs to avoid
+ a possible crash if a signal is caught during (graceful) restart.
+ PR 60487. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_rewrite: When a substitution is a fully qualified URL, and the
+ scheme/host/port matches the current virtual host, stop interpreting the
+ path component as a local path just because the first component of the
+ path exists in the filesystem. Adds RewriteOption "LegacyPrefixDocRoot"
+ to revert to previous behavior. PR60009.
+ [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
+
+ *) core: ap_parse_form_data() URL-decoding doesn't work on EBCDIC
+ platforms. PR61124. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
+
+ *) ab: enable option processing for setting a custom HTTP method also for
+ non-SSL builds. [Rainer Jung]
+
+ *) core: EBCDIC fixes for interim responses with additional headers.
+ [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_env: when processing a 'SetEnv' directive, warn if the environment
+ variable name includes a '='. It is likely a configuration error.
+ PR 60249 [Christophe Jaillet]
+
+ *) Evaluate nested If/ElseIf/Else configuration blocks.
+ [Luca Toscano, Jacob Champion]
+
+ *) mod_rewrite: Add 'BNP' (backreferences-no-plus) flag to RewriteRule to
+ allow spaces in backreferences to be encoded as %20 instead of '+'.
+ [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_rewrite: Add the possibility to limit the escaping to specific
+ characters in backreferences by listing them in the B flag.
+ [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_substitute: Fix spurious AH01328 (Line too long) errors on EBCDIC
+ systems. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fail requests without ERROR log in case we need to read interim
+ responses and see only garbage. This can happen if proxied servers send
+ data where none should be, e.g. a body for a HEAD request. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for Reverse Proxy Request headers.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixed possible deadlock that could occur when connections were
+ terminated early with ongoing streams. Fixed possible hanger with timeout
+ on race when connection considers itself idle. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: MaxKeepAliveRequests now limits the number of times a
+ slave connection gets reused. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_brotli: Add a new module for dynamic Brotli (RFC 7932) compression.
+ [Evgeny Kotkov]

+ thread privates. Moving request setups from the main connection to the
+ worker threads. Increase number of spare connections kept.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: input buffering and dynamic flow windows for increased
+ throughput. Requires nghttp2 >= v1.5.0 features. Announced at startup
+ in mod_http2 INFO log as feature 'DWINS'. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: h2 workers with improved scalability for better scheduling
+ performance. There are H2MaxWorkers threads created at start and the
+ number is kept constant for now. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: obsoleted option H2SessionExtraFiles, will be ignored and
+ just log a warning. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_autoindex: Add IndexOptions UseOldDateFormat to allow the date
+ format from 2.2 in the Last Modified column. PR60846.
+ [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
+
+ *) core: Add %{REMOTE_PORT} to the expression parser. PR59938
+ [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
+
+ *) mod_cache: Fix a regression in 2.4.25 for the forward proxy case by
+ computing and using the same entity key according to when the cache
+ checks, loads and saves the request.
+ PR 60577. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Don't validate timed out responses. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Ensure thread-safety when concurrent healthchecks are
+ in use (ProxyHCTPsize > 0). PR 60071. [Yann Ylavic, Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) core: %{DOCUMENT_URI} used in nested SSI expressions should point to the
+ URI originally requsted by the user, not the nested documents URI. This
+ restores the behavior of this variable to match the "legacy" SSI parser.
+ PR60624. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Add ProxyFCGISetEnvIf to fixup CGI environment
+ variables just before invoking the FastCGI. [Eric Covener,
+ Jacob Champion]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Return to 2.4.20-and-earlier behavior of leaving
+ a "proxy:fcgi://" prefix in the SCRIPT_FILENAME environment variable by
+ default. Add ProxyFCGIBackendType to allow the type of backend to be
+ specified so these kinds of fixups can be restored without impacting
+ FPM. PR60576 [Eric Covener, Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: work around leaks on (graceful) restart. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0. [Rainer Jung]
+
+ *) Don't set SO_REUSEPORT unless ListenCoresBucketsRatio is greater
+ than zero. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_http2: moving session cleanup to pre_close hook to avoid races with
+ modules already shut down and slave connections still operating.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_lua: Support for Lua 5.3
+
+ *) mod_proxy_http2: support for ProxyPreserverHost directive. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fix for crash when running out of memory.
+ [Robert Swiecki <robert swiecki.net>, Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Return HTTP 504 rather than 503 in case of proxy timeout.
+ [Luca Toscano]
+
+ *) mod_http2: not counting file buckets again stream max buffer limits.
+ Effectively transfering static files in one step from slave to master
+ connection. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: comforting ap_check_pipeline() on slave connections
+ to facilitate reuse (see https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/128).
+ [Stefan Eissing, reported by Armin Abfalterer]
+
+ *) mod_http2: http/2 streams now with state handling/transitions as defined
+ in RFC7540. Stream cleanup/connection shutdown reworked to become easier
+ to understand/maintain/debug. Added many asserts on state and cleanup
+ transitions. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_auth_digest: Use an anonymous shared memory segment by default,
+ preventing startup failure after unclean shutdown. PR 54622.
+ [Jan Kaluza]
+
+ *) mod_filter: Fix AddOutputFilterByType with non-content-level filters.
+ PR 58856. [Micha Lenk <micha lenk.info>]
+
+ *) mod_watchdog: Fix semaphore leak over restarts. [Jim Jagielski]
+
*) mod_http2: regression fix on PR 59348, on graceful restart, ongoing
streams are finished normally before the final GOAWAY is sent.
[Stefan Eissing, <slavko gmail.com>]
-
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Allow the per-request environment variable "no-proxy" to
+ be used as an alternative to ProxyPass /path !. This is primarily
+ to set exceptions for ProxyPass specified in <Location> context.
+ Use SetEnvIf, not SetEnv. PR 60458. [Eric Covener]
+
*) mod_http2: fixes PR60599, sending proper response for conditional requests
answered by mod_cache. [Jeff Wheelhouse, Stefan Eissing]
[Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
