+ Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_ajp: Fix wrongly formatted requests where client
+ sets Content-Length header, but doesn't provide a body.
+ Servlet container always expects that next packet is
+ body whenever C-L is present in the headers. This can lead
+ to wrong interpretation of the packets. In this case
+ send the empty body packet, so container can deal with
+ that. [Mladen Turk]
+
+ *) mod_authnz_ldap: don't return NULL-valued environment variables to
+ other modules. PR 39045 [Francois Pesce <francois.pesce gmail.com>]
+
+ *) Don't adjust case in pathname components that are not of interest
+ to mod_mime. Fixes mod_negotiation's use of such components.

+ *) Add new LogFormat parameter, %k, which logs the number of
+ keepalive requests on this connection for this request..

+
+ *) New module mod_sed: filter Request/Response bodies through sed
+ [Basant Kumar Kukreja <basant.kukreja sun.com>]
+
+ *) mod_auth_form: Make sure that basic authentication is correctly
+ faked directly after login. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_session_cookie, mod_session_dbd: Make sure cookies are set both
+ within the output headers and error output headers, so that the
+ session is maintained across redirects. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_auth_form: Make sure the logged in user is populated correctly
+ after a form login. Fixes a missing REMOTE_USER variable directly
+ following a login. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_session_cookie: Make sure that cookie attributes are correctly
+ included in the blank cookie when cookies are removed. This fixes an
+ inability to log out when using mod_auth_form. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_autoindex: add configuration option to insert string
+ in HTML HEAD. [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: implement dynamic mutex callbacks for the benefit of

+ [Tom Donovan]

+ *) core: When testing for slash-terminated configuration paths in
+ ap_location_walk(), don't look past the start of an empty string
+ such as that created by a <Location ""> directive.
+ [Chris Darroch]
+
+ *) core, mod_proxy: If a kept_body is present, it becomes safe for
+ subrequests to support message bodies. Make sure that safety
+ checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered
+ when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed
+ proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]
+
*) mod_auth_form: Make sure the input filter stack is properly set
up before reading the login form. Make sure the kept body filter
is correctly inserted to ensure the body can be read a second
time safely should the authn be successful. [Graham Leggett,
