[William Rowe] + + *) The worker MPM is now completely ported to APR's new lock API. It + uses native APR types for thread mutexes, cross-process mutexes, + and condition variables. [Aaron Bannert] + + *) Sync up documentation to remove all references to the now deprecated + Port directive. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Moved all ldap modules from the core to httpd-ldap sub-project + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Exit when we can't listen on any of the configured ports. This + is the same behavior as 1.3, and it avoids having the MPMs to + deal with bogus ap_listen_rec structures. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Cleanup the proxy code that creates a request to the origin + server. This change adds an optional hook, which allows modules + to gain control while the request is created if the proxy module + is loaded. The purpose of this hook is to allow modules to add + input and/or output filters to the request to the origin. While + I was at it, I made the core use this hook, so that proxy request + creation uses some of the code from the core. This can still be + greatly improved, but this is a good start. [Ryan Bloom] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.26 + + *) Port the MaxClients changes from the worker MPM to the threaded + MPM. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix mod_proxy so that it handles chunked transfer-encoding and works + with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Introduce the MultiviewsMatch directive, to allow the operator + to be flexible in recognizing Handlers and Filters filename + extensions as part of the Multiviews matching logic, strict with + MultiviewsMatch NegotiatedOnly to accept only filename extentions + that designate negotiated parameters, (content type, charset, etc.) + or MultiviewsAll for the 1.3 behavior of matching any files, even + if they have unregistered extensions. [William Rowe] + + *) Fixed the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to + the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled + as a DSO. [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) rewrite mod_ssl input filtering to work with the new input filtering + system. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) prefork: Don't segfault when we are able to listen on some but + not all of the configured ports. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Build mod_so even if no core modules are built shared. + [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Introduce ap_directory_walk rewrite (with further optimizations + required) to adapt to the ap_process_request_internal() changes. + Optimized so subrequests and redirects now reuse previous section + merges, until we mismatch with the original directory_walk, and + precomputed r->finfo results will cause directory_walk to skip + the most expensive phases of the function. [William Rowe] + + *) Allow ApacheMonitor to connect to and control Apache on other + WinNT/2K machines. [Mladen Turk ] + + *) Remove the Port directive. In it's place, the Listen directive + is now a required directive, which tells Apache what port to + listen on. The ServerName directive has also been extended + to accept an optional port. If the port is specified to the + ServerName, the server will report that port whenever it + reports the port that it is listening on. This change was + made to ease configuration errors that stem from having a Port + directive, and a Listen directive. In that situation, the server + would only listen to the port specified by the Listen command, + which caused a lot of confusion to users. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Added mod_mime_magic, mod_unique_id and mod_vhost_alias to the Win32 + build, as loadable modules. [William Rowe] + + *) Fix --enable-mods-shared processing. If most is specified, + then all modules that can be compiled as shared modules are. + [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Update the mime.types file to map video/vnd.mpegurl to mxu + and add commonly used audio/x-mpegurl for m3u extensions. + [Heiko Recktenwald , Lars Eilebrecht] + + *) Eliminate the depreciated r->content_language, in favor of the array + r->content_languages introduced many years ago. Module authors must + substantially overhaul their modules, so this needs to be upgraded + if the module still relied on backwards-brokeness. [William Rowe] + + *) Allow configure help strings to work with autoconf 2.50+ and 2.13. + [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize + code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and + ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family. + [William Rowe] + + *) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the + current SDK.) [William Rowe] + + *) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed + config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett] + + *) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version + of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be + relocated. [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as + of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox] + + *) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum + number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of + specifying the maximum number of child processes. + [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to + be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds. + [Brian Pane ] + + *) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers. + [Ian Holsman ] + + *) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings + to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time. + [Brian Pane ] + + *) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may + improve cache-hit performance under some conditions. + [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that + support it. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction + pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools + around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the + queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to + state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated + segments for. [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr ] + + *) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body. + [Greg Stein] + + *) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead + property management. [Greg Stein] + + *) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and + roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable + ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe] + + *) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm + to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an + internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus + string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes + now reuse previous section merges on a by + basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk. + [William Rowe] + + *) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made + us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected + URI, instead of the originally requested URI. + [Taketo Kabe ] + + *) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to + compute variables. [Brian Pane ] + + *) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should + log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging + the file size. [Taketo Kabe ] + + *) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather + than per character. [Brian Pane ] + + *) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to + run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in + robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe] + + *) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set + (which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman ] + + *) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other + part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only]. + This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32 + platform, which is the recommended configuration for native + Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for + cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj ] + + *) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters + must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.) + The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent + container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in + will override any SetInputFilter directive in .) + This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter + directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases + where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the + global configuration if the multiple directives were nested. + [William Rowe] + + *) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething + was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or + Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType, + but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given + for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html + without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to + use the default content type. [William Rowe] + + *) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache + code. [Graham Leggett] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.25 + + *) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so + that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document + root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection + into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer] + + *) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using + mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified + user attributes in a page like so: + Hello , how are you? + [Graham Leggett] + + *) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create + transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection. + [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview + of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does + not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without + an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with + an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation + won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is + requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the + .html extension is associated with ContentType text/html. + [William Rowe] + + *) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...] + and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more + filters by mod_mime filename extension processing. + [William Rowe] + + *) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for + keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a + macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it + by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated + the code to check the return code from the macro and + do the right thing. [Paul J. Reder] + + *) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match + up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum + amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no + longer reparse all blocks when the request uri + hadn't changed.) [William Rowe] + + *) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the + ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special + walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example, + with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes + either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase + only runs against real blocks. + [William Rowe] + + *) SECURITY: Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow + an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed. + [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane] + + *) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass + the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE + shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the + directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c. + [William Rowe] + + *) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter + if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler. + This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier + to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3 + config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP + to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always + get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks + [Madhusudan Mathihalli , + Geoff Thorpe ] + + *) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also + cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using + pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert ] + + *) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock + for mod_ssl + [Madhusudan Mathihalli ] + + *) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error + codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the + include handler return code wasn't being checked. + I don't like macros with returns, so I converted + SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function. + [Paul J. Reder ] + + *) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured + [John Sterling ] + + *) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time + [Madhusudan Mathihalli ] + + *) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no + associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for + a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy + of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the + call to ap_log_pid solves the problem. + + *) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the + status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more + common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe] + + *) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets + (similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error + messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe] + + *) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard] + + *) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap + configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf + [Graham Leggett] + + *) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap. + [Graham Leggett] + + *) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache. + Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds + not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately. + [Graham Leggett] + + *) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP + module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett] + + *) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now + cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up. + [Graham Leggett] + + *) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include + patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate + more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed. + [Paul Reder] + + *) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap. + [Dave Carrigan , Graham Leggett] + + *) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap. + [Dave Carrigan , Graham Leggett] + + *) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest + by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not + met. [Justin Erenkrantz] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.24 + + *) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at + offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is + reached. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line + builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions. + Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users. + [William Rowe] + + *) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better + reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the + default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe] + + *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm + compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites. + [Mladen Turk , William Rowe] + + *) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20. + [William Rowe, Greg Ames] + + *) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage + and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe] + + *) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server + processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and + using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this + combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server + processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security + issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames] + + *) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries + (including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe] + + *) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time. + [Cody Sherr ] + + *) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax + for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive + allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or + RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the + setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006, + 5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar] + + *) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c + are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards + in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU + make). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling ] + + *) Begin to sanitize the MPM configuration directives. Now, all + MPMs use the same functions for all common MPM directives. This + should make it easier to catch all bugs in these directives once. + [Cody Sherr ] + + *) Close a major resource leak. Every time we had issued a + graceful restart, we leaked a socket descriptor. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix a problem with the new method code. We need to cast + the 1 to an apr_int64_t or it will be treated as a 32-bit + integer, and it will wrap after being shifted 32 times. + [Cody Sherr and Ryan Morgan ] + + *) Fix a bug in mod_expires. Previous to this patch, if you + told mod_expires to add 604800 seconds to the last-modified + time, it actually added 604800 usec's to the last-modified time, + so that when looking at the response it looked like nothing + had been done. The root of the problem was that we always compute + time in usec's, but we ask users to input sec's. This means we + need to convert to usec's before using those values. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) The worker MPM now handles shutdown and restart requests. It + definitely isn't perfect, but we do stop the servers correctly. + The biggest problem right now is that SIGHUP causes the server to + just die. [Ryan Bloom] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.23 + + *) Use the prefork MPM by default on Unix. [various] + + *) Added a systray icon monitor application for Win32. + [Mladen Turk ] + + *) mod_rewrite: Fix the line ending on some non-Unix systems for + messages written to the rewrite log. + [Richard Labennett ] + + *) All mod_autoindex query parsing is now quietly quashed with the + IndexOption IgnoreClient. The IndexOption SuppressColumnSorting + still drops the column sort 's for the column headers, but + IgnoreClient is required to ignore these Query options entirely. + [William Rowe] + + *) Introduced new mod_autoindex query argument parsing for F=[0|1|2] + to allow the client to select plain, FancyIndexing or HTMLTable + formatting, V=[0|1] to inhibit or enable version sorting, and + P=pattern to return only specific files. The old Query Arguments + were reorganized as C=f for sorting column 'f' (same N, D, S, or M + as before), and O=A|D for ordering ascending or descending. + [William Rowe] + + *) Fixed an error in mod_include's directive parsing routines which + caused #if, #elif, and #else expressions containing backslashes + to be improperly evaluated. [Cliff Woolley] + + *) Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags: SuppressIcon to + drop the icon column, SuppressRules to drop the
elements, + and HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies + FancyIndexing). [William Rowe] + + *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified + from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given + multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified + stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many + Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing + files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [William Rowe] + + *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag FoldersFirst + and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10. + [William Rowe, Ken Coar] + + *) Eliminated FancyIndexing directive, deprecated early in Apache + 1.3 by the IndexOptions FancyIndexing syntax. [William Rowe] + + *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in + an error, other than a success or redirect. Also optimized + the parent directory, always included except in the URI '/'. + [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. 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. 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 + when they are available. [Greg Ames] + + *) Add a handler to mod_includes.c. This handler is designed to + implement the XbitHack directive. This can't be done with a + fixup, because we need to check the content-type, which is + only available in the handler phase. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Make the includes filter check return codes from filters lower in + the filter chain. If a lower level filter returns an error, then + the request needs to stop immediately. This allows mod_include to + stop parsing data once a lower filter recognizes an error. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add the ability to extend the methods that Apache understands + and have those methods able in the httpd.conf. It uses + the same bit mask/shifted offset as the original HTTP methods + such as M_GET or M_POST, but expands the total bits from an int to + an ap_int64_t to handle more bits for new request methods than + an int provides. [Cody Sherr ] + + *) Fix broken mod_mime behavior in merging its arguments. Possible + cause of unexplicable crashes introduced in 2.0.20. [William Rowe] + + *) Solve many mod_ssl porting issues (too many to detail) with + help from the whole team, but most notably [Ralf S. Engelschall, + Madhusudan Mathihalli , + Doug MacEachern, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley] + + *) More stall fixes for the threaded & worker mpm's. + Make mod_status output more accurate. Don't + count workers in processes which aren't actively + serving requests. [Greg Ames] + + *) Win32: Get SSI exec cgi tag working. [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Add a single listener/multiple worker MPM. This MPM is + definately not fully correct, but it allows us to solve many + of the problems that exist in the threaded MPM. This is a + modified version of the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Improve content generation throughout Apache, providing closer + compliance with HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0 + Transitional specifications. [William Rowe] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.22 + + *) Fix a problem where the threaded MPM stalls after restarts or + segfaults. Also prevent multiple active processes from using + the same scoreboard slot. [Greg Ames] + + *) Apache/Win32 now fills in the service description with Apache's + server version string, including loaded and advertised modules. + [William Rowe] + + *) Improved support for the Win32 build, to recover gracefully from + missing apr or apr-util directories or the awk interpreter, + create the proper cgi-bin examples, including a test-cgi.bat, and + fix the perl shebang line for printenv.pl, when installing from + the build environment. [William Rowe] + + *) Fix a segfault in threaded.c caused by passing uninitialized + apr_thread_t * to apr_thread_join(). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Use new APR number conversion functions to reduce CPU consumption + when setting the content length, and in mod_log_config. + [Brian Pane] + + *) Fix problem reported by Taketo Kabe + where HEAD response headers were being repeated twice for + files greater than 32K bytes (4*AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE). This + problem in the http_header filter was exposed by the recent rewrite + of the content_length filter. [Taketo Kabe, Bill Stoddard] + + *) Fix seg faults in mod_status with ExtendedStatus enabled, after + restarts. A garbage pointer to a vhost's server_rec from the + previous generation was being left around under certain + conditions. [Greg Ames] + + *) Fix a cosmetic problem with mod_include. Non-existant SSI vars + used to appear as '(none', without the closing paren. + [Günter Knauf ] + + *) Improve the exports generating awk script. In the past, we had + work around problems in the awk script by avoiding some #if and + #ifdefs. This has bitten us many times in generating the exports.c + file. This improvement allows corrects the header file parsing. + [Sander Striker ] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.21 + + *) Resolve the Win32 htpasswd bug, where a file that existed would be + overwritten, regardless of the -c flag. + [William Rowe, Mladen Turk ] + + *) Introduce connection sub-pools into ab. Truncating the lifetime + of these allocations means that ab no longer perpetually grows + its working set, running out of memory on large request attempts. + [William Rowe] + + *) Make scoreboard creation a hook. This allows management + modules to have access to the scoreboard at the time that it is + created, and at every restart request. + [Cody Sherr ] + + *) Changed AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS to refer to MaxClients and + added an AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED to refer to the highest + daemon index actually used in the scoreboard. I also + updated the pertinent calls. [Paul J. Reder] + + *) Win32: Prevent listening sockets from being inherited by + the Apache child process, CGI scripts, rotatelog process + etc. If the Apache child process segfaults, any processes + that the child started are not reaped. Prior to this fix, + these processes inherited the listening sockets which sometimes + prevented the restarted Apache child process from accepting + connections (ie, the server would hang). + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Provide vhost and request strings when ExtendedStatus is on. + [Greg Ames] + + *) Fix some issues with the pod and prefork: check the pod *after* + processing a connection so that a server processing a time- + consuming request bails out as soon as practical; when the + parent process wakes up a server process via connect(), use an + APR timeout on the connect() so that we don't hang for a long + time if there aren't server processes around to do accept(). + [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames] + + *) Performance improvement to mod_mime.c. find_ct() in mod_mime, + spends a lot of time in apr_table_get calls. Using the default + httpd.conf, the tables for languages and charsets are somewhat + large, so the time spent scanning them on each request is + significant. Replacing the tables with hash tables provides + a nice speedup. [Brian Pane ] + + *) Add two functions to allow modules to access random parts of the + scoreboard. This allows modules compiled for one MPM to access the + scoreboard, even if it the server was compiled for another MPM. + [Harrie Hazewinkel ] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.20 + + *) Fix problem in content-length filter where the filter would + buffer all the output from a CGI before sending any bytes + down the filter stack to the network. This problem would cause + significant memory consumption if the CGIs generated + lots of bytes. [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working with the bucket brigades. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Fix seg fault on Windows when serving files cached with mod_file_cache. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Fix a bug in the threaded MPM that would cause it to kill off all + workers immediately after starting if the number of workers started + was above a certain threshold. [Ryan Bloom, Bill Stoddard] + +Changes with Apache 2.0.19 + + *) Fix problem with threaded MPM. The problem was that if each child + process was busy serving a single long-lived request and the server + was sent a graceful restart signal, the server would stop serving + requests. This would happen because each child process would wait to + die until the last thread was done, and the parent wouldn't spawn any + new children until a process died. Now, the parent looks at the fact + that the children are dying gracefully, and starts new children. + Those new children only start enough threads to compliment the number + of threads in the other child process that shares the same spot in + the scoreboard. In this way, we make sure to never go over + MaxClients. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) modified mod_negotiation and mod_autoindex to speed up by almost a + factor of two on apr_dir_read()-enhanced platforms, such as Win32 + and OS2, by calling ap_sub_request_lookup_dirent() with the results + already provided by apr_dir_read(). [William Rowe] + + *) mod_file_cache is now more robust to filtering and serves requests + slightly more efficiently.

The http_header_filter will find this + bucket, and output the error text, and then return + AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page + has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for + those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where + error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though + that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support + iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch] + + *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition + and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy + code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these + directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled + in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because + we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of + targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the + configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is + specifically run. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts + the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by + parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe] + + *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code + expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error. + Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we + follow the link. [William Rowe] + + *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to + mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms, + so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe, + and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the + current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or + pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames] + + *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know + for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0. + This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0 + request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein] + + *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite, + i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of + more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch] + + *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing + Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin ] + + *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting + and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter(). + This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with + requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via + hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also, + add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and + NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but + not used during the configuration process. Useful for + flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski] + + *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or + no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to + specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH. + [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom] + + *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie] + + *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and + apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the + actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being + traced. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie] + + *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter + program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an + object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE + was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would + create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap() + silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but + ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem + is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and + we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the + browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec + because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't + always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf + setup. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct + order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4, + and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build + process. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process. + This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process, + thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do + not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least + it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of + the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley ] + + *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we + need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files + such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get the support programs building cleanly again. + [Cliff Woolley ] + + *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The + current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the + server root from the Apache.exe path. + + *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so + loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the + makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories. + + *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6, + Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the + Listen, NameVirtualHost, and directives support IPv6 + numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080"). + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in + modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but + we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories + are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of + which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack + for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the + necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC + was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make + the scripts a bit easier. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout + on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and + be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects + that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules + didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer + available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts + after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a + content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to + have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we + can compute the content-length in the byterange filter. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows. + [Allan Edwards] + + *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way + they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been + called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when + the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool. + [Jeff Trawick] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a9 + + *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users + to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@ + and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories. + [William Rowe] + + *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with + functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily. + The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function + combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include + parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a + hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes + all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then + responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back + to mod_include for further processing. + [Paul J. Reder ] + + *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has + fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed + from the parameter list because all required information is available + via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a + normal source distribution with external install targets. + [Roy Fielding] + + *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create + two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation. + the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required + for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one + variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations, + so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based + on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment. + It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two + shmem memory blocks. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of + functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure + time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file. + Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those + functions that are valid on the platform we are building on. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config + [Sander van Zoest ] + + *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not + specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR). + The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM + files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases. + [Greg Stein] + + *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that + uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly. + [Paul Reder ] + + *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when + making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the + output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore + skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the + format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in + the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be + used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with + the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format + of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the + rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this + condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski] + + *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter. + [Greg Ames] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a8 + + *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with + a given mime-type. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info + field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers + down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request + record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready + for the network. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code, + but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP) + successfully. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler. + [Chuck Murcko] + + *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options. + [B. W. Fitzpatrick ] + + *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname. + Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing + hostname resolution/address string parsing and building + apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address + of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change + apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick] + + *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but + I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we + aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head + request. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias + with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch] + + *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests. + The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before + we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we + should send it in the HEAD response. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based + on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay + deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the + content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache + our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute + the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and + everything will just work. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available. + [Markus Gyger ] + + *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this + change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules + as ap_conftree. + [Ryan Morgan ] + + *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly. + This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times + for a simple static request. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) We are sending the content-type correctly now. + [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe] + + *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report + a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers + and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the + hints file to determine which platforms define + SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko] + + *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache + used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate, + but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will + as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid + value on all platforms. + [Branko Čibej ] + + *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824. + [Shuichi Kitaguchi ] + + *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support + iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch] + + *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes + sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the + default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain + in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This + has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could + doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches + the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes + a content-length in the response, and this does not. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate + on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make + any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes, + so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not. + The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report + the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies + content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing + code in mod_log_config.c + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what + it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since + neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was + really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better + by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH + buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data + read, so they make more sense. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a + request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it + makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request + responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap + buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This + allows the mmap to outlive the request. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for + sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should + have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should + ALWAYS be able to return something immediately. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the + server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart + instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling] + + *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on + the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe] + + *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in + such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r". + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0: + CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection + status at the end of the response as follows: + 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed. + '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server. + '-' - connection will be closed by the server. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded + Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type + from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the feature + macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe] + + *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for + the response when no content length is available and we can't use + chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK, + so that content input filters get dechunked data when using + the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS. + [Sascha Schumann] + + *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows + the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently, + only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol + data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of + the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this + type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef + CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will + send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside + buckets that include partial buckets. + [Ryan Bloom and David Reid] + + *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula] + + *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using + BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it + doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to + the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that + actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need + for the BUFF to send headers. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of + request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest() + since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated) + response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at + all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.) + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter + (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter. + [hackathon] + + *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as + of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp , + Tony Finch] + + *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering. + [Greg Ames] + + *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at + least now we can serve an SHTML page again. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer + to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that + want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket, + can. They point to the same place. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld. + [Tomas Ögren ] + + *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the + associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this + logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was + no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning + APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by + making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets. + If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we + return the buf, otherwise we return NULL. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix: + rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded + so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc. + PR #6671 [Tony Finch] + + *) SECURITY: Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a + security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations + that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files + on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch] + + *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out + of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then + the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the + death of the pool. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters + should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way + to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket, + that's life, but at least we can try with this. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the + EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output + filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub + requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros.

Small request bodies + worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large + ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type. + This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off + the data pointer in the ap_bucket type. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data + to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive + number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and + let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line + only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data. + + Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows + us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which + has also been done. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter + understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is + based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers, + and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are + in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining + bytes.

The + goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing + the data back to the other filters. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation + [Jim Jagielski] + + *) install apxs if it is created + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error + conversions. [William Rowe] + + *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to + ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Multiple build and configuration fixes + Build process: + + -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions + -fix layout name + -fix logfilename misspelling + -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and + -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile + + Cross compile: + + -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for + $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing + -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib + -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's + -cache result for "struct rlimit" + -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler + and use the native version to generate header file + [Rüdiger Kuhlmann ] + + *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross- + compiling. + [Rüdiger Kuhlmann ] + + *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header + lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED + message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input + filtering. + [William Rowe, Greg Ames] + + *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even + if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a + requirement for APXS to work correctly. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the + conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the + output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the + post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an + error page before we have a filter to write to the network. + [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames] + + *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An + mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with + byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of + the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi. + [William Rowe] + + *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32. + Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support + for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB), + and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and + prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still + discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and + async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are + logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls. + [William Rowe] + + *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input + filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest + difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade + should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is + different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in, + and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call + ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input + is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this + function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade. + The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system + falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform. + [Sascha Schumann] + + *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5, + SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a + bit more flexible. [William Rowe] + + *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content + translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores + subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for + translating request and response bodies was removed. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request + hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in + multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much + simpler. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-0913 (cve.mitre.org) + Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of + mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that + contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences + $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to + access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch] + + *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing + don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because + the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames] + + *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid. + [Victor J. Orlikowski] + + *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2) + as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds. + update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment. + Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from + parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the + seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support. + [William Rowe] + + *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32. + [William Rowe] + + *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An + uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config(). + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for + in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly + find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source + with no problems. [David Reid] + + *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying + the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong + location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and + also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would + sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence + like this in the config file + + + any stuff + + + (blank line) + any stuff + + + the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to + sediment in the buffer from reading the prior and an + error message would be generated for the real for the + second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters + could be used for "] + + *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that + the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an + EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it + encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we + finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one + EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix + and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via + apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe + bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable. + [Mike Abbott ] + + *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache + code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c + [John K. Sterling ] + + *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive. + PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama ] + + *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test + explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit() + is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support + the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski] + + *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific + platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain) + all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski] + + *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR. + [Ken Coar] + + *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that + they can be more directly used when changing the type of a + bucket in place. [Tony Finch] + + *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by + buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change + the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of + buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets. + Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be + mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented. + [Tony Finch] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a6 + + *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames] + + *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer + to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter + added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The + docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades, + Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that + should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the + core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group] + + *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't + built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's + no layout definition file. [Ken Coar] + + *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar] + + *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header + field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the + list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar] + + *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file(). + [Rob Simonson ] + + *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke + APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the + configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container, + only the last statement in the container would be retained. + [Jeff Trawick] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a5 + + *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child + processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I + have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had + different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses. + This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages. + It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we + are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix + Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix. + #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat + [Perl] + + *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always + return the right information on the local socket address. + [Gregory Nicholls ] + + *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error. + [Gregory Nicholls ] + + *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without + going into single process mode. This allows for much easier + debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the + scoreboard on graceful restarts. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c. + An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process(). + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still + never called, but this is a step in the right direction. + [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein] + + *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is + killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets + SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the + process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and + mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time + in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format. + Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time + uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP + spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes + the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error + code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls ] + + *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet] + + *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in + logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles + not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe] + + *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create + apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure + to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a + related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using + fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock() + implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock() + was essentially a no-op because all children were using different + locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into + a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on + end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar] + + *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This + adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional + XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein] + + *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes + [Greg Stein] + + *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from + the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein] + + *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR + configure.in. [Dave Hill ] + + *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for + machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile. + [Dave Hill ] + + *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski] + + *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the + desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving + ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski] + + *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate + with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without + timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to + a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with + Unix non-blocking pipes. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to + cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables + Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at + 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps + and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system). + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache + supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as + mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive + to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems + that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today + on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the + configuration process automatically: + inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing + APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl + + Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid, + based on the threading model + + Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's + configuration processing, allowing for more information flow + between the two. + [Ryan Bloom] + + + *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK + with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and + OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write + operations work a whole lot better on buffered files. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change + compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads). + [Greg Ames] + + *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps + reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is + now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated. + ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack + can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified + domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to + the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the + ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe] + + *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault + at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to + be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding] + + *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX + [Victor J. Orlikowski] + + *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h, + apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h. + [Tyler J. Brooks , Jeff Trawick] + + *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working + state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on + BeOS. [David Reid] + + *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in + maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise + unions. [Ben Laurie] + + *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to + repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered + ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick] + + *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly + in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error: + " without matching section", where + container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-1204 (cve.mitre.org) + Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when + using mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root + and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi + as reported in + [Tony Finch] + + *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE) + [David Reid] + + *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the + final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles + incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure + that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and + such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet] + + *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting + up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket. + [Dean Gaudet] + + *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches + to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes) + instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex. + It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now + displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the + symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence. + The previous check required features not used by Apache. + [Greg Ames] + + *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were + sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not + initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed + accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call + if the len was negative. Use for struct sockaddr_un + instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem + on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames] + + *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos.

[Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash + doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does. + Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator ==" + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM. + All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is + now wrapped within the WinNT MPM. + [William Rowe] + + *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some + getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls. + CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change + to allow just the product name in the server string using + PRODUCT_ONLY. + [Ryan Bloom] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a4 + + *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers + won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] + + *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config + tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks + and know that they will be called at an appropriate time. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have + ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config + files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick] + + *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t- + related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem + is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful + restarts. [Ronald Tschalär] + + *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling. + Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there + would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure + procedure. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog + isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via + ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer + to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines. + [William Rowe] + + *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or + global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it + to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency. + [William Rowe] + + *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD() + and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals. + [William Rowe] + + *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers. + [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser ] + + *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record + on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar] + + *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the + input will block. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not + a conversion is single-byte only.

[Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames] + + *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use + APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables + in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically + if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is + read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This + should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the + server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives + that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should + be made in the pre-config step. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Add mod_example to the build system. + [Tony Finch] + + *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single- + byte character sets.

Not tested and I'd be suprised if it + actually works. [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and + Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file + os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent + dll relocation at start-up). + [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard] + + *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most + of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros. + [Greg Ames] + + *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different + character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv(). + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix. + [Joshua Slive ] + + *) CGI output is being timed out now. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which + is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file + with the same lifetime as the original file. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying + module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults + in the field. [William Rowe ] + + *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document + describing how to compile Apache on Windows. + [William Rowe ] + + *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take + microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other + minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0 + [William Rowe ] + + *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0 + quick change summary: + - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR + - now uses ap_time_t + - compiles and runs on linux + - tested with amaya + [Brian Martin ] + + *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names + fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an + unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the + CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started + before Apache. + [William Rowe ] + + *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may + not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This + is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls + to non portable functions should be protected with + ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults. + [William Rowe ] + + *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer] + + *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick] + + *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT. + This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway + CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly + [William Rowe ] + + *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to + always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the + OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx + always fails. + + The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to + handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for + Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then + we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c. + [Tim Costello ] + + *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT + [Allan Edwards ] + + *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support + Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and + 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it. + [Brian Martin ] + + *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform + fixes to mod_so.c. + [] + + *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions. + [William Rowe] + + *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site. + [Joshua Slive ] + + *) Move Windows DSO code into APR. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause). + Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw + at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because + of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next. + [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard] + + *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines. + [Jon Travis ] + + *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the + corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the + proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a2 + + *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other + than Win32 + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few + small things it had problems with due to the way it setup + users and groups. [David Reid] + + *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks + [Paul Reder ] + + *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine + is called on BeOS. [David Reid] + + *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file. + When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may + no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults. + [Allan Edwards ] + + *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed + if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski] + + *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl + locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work + [William Rowe ] + + *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows + [William Rowe ] + + *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the + interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it + up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred + in 2.0. + [Tony Finch] + + *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed.

'Fixed' + confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect + rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to + explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common + ones to the example config [dirkx] + + *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call + configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12, + including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski] + + *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the + config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited + it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar + expands to something with spaces you have to protect it + by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it + to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you + can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people + usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this + hampers fancier hacks. + [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] + + *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer + supports the asymetric + + ErrorDocument 301 "Some message + + Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now + has either the following syntaxes + + ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri + ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url + ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message" + + The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it + is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a / + or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it + is assumed to be a message. + + This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell + of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers. + [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] + + *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present + syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the + only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an + absolute pain for any config interface automation. This + breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] + + *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is + done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added + as static modules at this point. + [Ryan Bloom] + +Changes with Apache 2.0a1 + + *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump. + Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before + create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure + to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until + ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight + rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier... + [Jeff Trawick ] + + *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API + [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder] + + *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O + APIs. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent. + Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec. + Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs + passed in and number of bytes written. + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file() + with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that + the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open(). + [Bill Stoddard] + + *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0 + [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard] + + *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification -- + bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus + some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the + errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to + chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0. + [Dean Gaudet] + + *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool. + [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann] + + *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J.

This allows us to write an error + message without any of the date and time information. As a part + of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr + and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP + writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct + stderr to the error log on all platforms. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument. + This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's + don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid + message on all of our platforms. + [Ryan Bloom] + + *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now. + [Paul Reder ] + + *) sendfile has been added to APR. + [John Zedlewski ] + + *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno. + [Manoj Kasichainula] + + *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and + interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer] + + *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0 + [Dilip Khandekar ] + + *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11 + [Ralf S.

Engelschall] + + *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid ] + + *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe. + Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and + implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will + be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the + calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own + subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection + of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD.
