Release:
RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
- * Complete HAVE_SENDFILE work. Need to add iovec head and tail pointers to
- the iol sendfile API and make it work under Unix.
- Status: Bill <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this
-
* Pipes to CGI scripts are not being timed out
Status: code has been added to APR to support timing out pipes.
This needs to be used in Apache now.
* Windows NT port isn't done
Status: Bill <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on MPM and APR.
Remaining work:
- 1. Add back ability to run Apache as a service
- 2. Fix Win9* specific code in the winnt MPM
- 3. Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the native file I/O
- calls serialize automagically like the CRT calls or do we need to
- add region locking each time we write to the access/error logs?
- 4. Fix the DOS hole in AcceptEx (need to time out connections over
- which data is never sent).

+ - Piped logging is broken
+ - DSO support is broken
* Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0
work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did
RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
+ * Dynamically loadable MPMs
+ Enable users of the binary distributions of Apache to be able to
+ dynamically load the MPM.
+
+ * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
+ Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
+ that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
+ platforms that do not support fork.
+
* Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
