 Changes with Apache 2.0.23-dev
 
+  *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in
+     an error, other than a success or redirect.  [William Rowe]
+
   *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept
      negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting
-     to an autoindex of the directory.  [William Rowe]
+     to an autoindex of the directory.  mod_negotiation will now die
+     with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames 
+     (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served.  mod_negotation now
+     refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't
+     recognize, and wasn't part of the request.  [William Rowe]
 
   *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file
      extension.  This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin
      wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and 
-     associate .exe files with that content type.  [William Rowe]
+     associate .exe files with that content type.  Multiviews must be
+     enabled to allow these to be served.  [William Rowe]
 
   *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload
      or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes

+    * mod_negotiation will not serve a request when an early extention
+      is understood, but a later extention is not.  e.g. if the request
+      index.html.bak is recieved, and negotition could find the file
+      index.html.bak.en, it still won't be served because the 
+      ap-mime-exception-list will contain "index" and "bak", and the
+      string "index.bak" doesn't match "index.html.bak".  Need to
+      review the ap-mime-exception-list component by component to be
+      allow these cases.  [This could be part of a patch to allow the
+      name index.bak in the case above to match index.html.bak.en]
+
+    * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
+      ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
+      directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
+
     * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives.  MaxClients in 
       the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
       do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
