Update the windows info in advance of the release cut-off so that it is
current in the installation. So make it correct if the next release
is a non-beta 1.3.0 by giving non-beta installation info and by
not referring to 1.3b8.
Little enhancement of suEXEC docs to make sure the user knows that he can
install suEXEC via APACI but only if he is carefully and does something
explicitly (options).

I took Ralf's README.DSO, HTMLized it, and put it here, a more appropriate
place than in the root-level of the distribution. Now we can link to it, too.
Also, Ralf, I removed the section on execution order differences between
static and dynamically linked modules, since you committed a patch which
makes this behavios consistant with all-staticly-linked.

Slightly improve the grammar; however, in my opinion this whole chunk can just
be tossed out of the FAQ. I can't believe we're actually asked "how can I make
only one file executable?".
This should help folks trying to understand vhosts. It adds the command
line option -S which dumps a description of how apache parsed the vhost
directives. In particular it'd really help the folks who recently ran
into /etc/hosts mismatches with DNS.

Although mod_mmap_static is an experimental module it works fine and already
is distributed with Apache it was not prepared the same way as the other

Modify the licence clauses for 1.3 to prohibit derived packages

the intent, I believe, but previously not explicit enough.)

In particular, mark mod_dll as obselete, add Windows information and

for Unix users, since most of the description applies to all systems).

- The "merging" optimization in mod_setenvif did not deal with
SetEnvIfNoCase properly; and it used strcmp() to compare header
names when it should use strcasecmp().
- Change the merging optimization so that it only considers the most
recent setenvif for merging. This means that mod_setenvif will
consider all directives in the order they appear in the config file.
- Document that mod_setenvif considers directives in the order they
appear, and give an example use.

Ops, we have totally mis-documented the %{LA-U:xxx} and %{LA-F:xxx}
constructs, thus no one noticed that it can be used to lookup the REMOTE_USER
variable (one of the mod_rewrite FAQs) even in per-server context. One just
has to use %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} instead of %{REMOTE_USER} there. Notice that
%{REMOTE_USER} is also useful, but only for per-dir context.
First part to fix the synchronization-locking for RewriteMap programs under

which are _not_ duplicated via fork(). This currently is not the case...

Add the new RewriteMap types `rnd' and `int' to mod_rewrite to allow Apache to
be used as a Reverse Proxy (where the backend servers are choosen via a `rnd'
map) and to allow mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections (where
you have to fix the case of server names when translating the Host-Header to a
directory structure).
Together with the comitted ProxyPassReverse directive we now have solved
two things the users have asked in the past:
1. The ability to use Apache as a full-featured Reverse Proxy
2. The ability to do mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections.
For both topics we should write stand-alone documents (perhaps inside
htdocs/manual/misc/) because they are not trivial to do, even when we now have
the functionality ;-)
