1N/AChanges with Apache 2.5.0
1N/A *) core: Stop the HTTP_IN filter from attempting to write error buckets
1N/A to the output filters, which is bogus in the proxy case. Create a
1N/A clean mapping from APR codes to HTTP status codes, and use it where
1N/A needed. [Graham Leggett]
1N/A *) mod_proxy: Ensure we don't attempt to amend a table we are iterating
1N/A through, ensuring that all headers listed by Connection are removed.
1N/A *) core: apachectl -S prints wildcard name-based virtual hosts twice.
1N/A PR54948 [Eric Covener]
1N/A *) mod_proxy: Reject invalid values for Max-Forwards. [Graham Leggett,
1N/A *) mod_cache: If a 304 response indicates an entity not currently cached, then
1N/A the cache MUST disregard the response and repeat the request without the
1N/A *) mod_proxy: Fix seg-faults when using the global pool on threaded
1N/A *) mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as
1N/A 504 Gateway Timout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway, in order to be
1N/A compliant with RFC2616 14.9.4 Cache Revalidation and Reload Controls.

1N/A with an older response as per RFC2616 13.12. [Graham Leggett, Co-Advisor
1N/A *) core, mod_cache: Ensure RFC2616 compliance in ap_meets_conditions()
1N/A with weak validation combined with If-Range and Range headers. Break
1N/A out explicit conditional header checks to be useable elsewhere in the
1N/A server. Ensure weak validation RFC compliance in the byteranges filter.

1N/A as per RFC2616 Section 13.3.3. [Graham Leggett, Co-Advisor
1N/A *) mod_cache: Ensure that updated responses to HEAD requests don't get
1N/A mistakenly paired with a previously cached body. Ensure that any existing
1N/A body is removed when a HEAD request is cached. [Graham Leggett,
1N/A *) mod_cache: Honour Cache-Control: no-store in a request. [Graham Leggett]
1N/A *) mod_cache: RFC2616 14.9.3 The s-maxage directive also implies the
1N/A semantics of the proxy-revalidate directive. [Graham Leggett]
1N/A *) mod_cache: Make sure that contradictory entity headers present in a 304
1N/A Not Modified response are caught and cause the entity to be removed.
1N/A *) mod_cache: Make sure Vary processing handles multivalued Vary headers and
1N/A multivalued headers referred to via Vary. [Graham Leggett]
1N/A *) mod_cache: When serving from cache, only the last header of a multivalued
1N/A header was taken into account. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]
1N/A *) mod_cache: Ignore response headers specified by no-cache=header and
1N/A private=header as specified by RFC2616 14.9.1 What is Cacheable. Ensure
1N/A that these headers are still processed when multiple Cache-Control
1N/A headers are present in the response. PR 54706 [Graham Leggett,
1N/A *) mod_cache: Invalidate cached entities in response to RFC2616 Section
1N/A 13.10 Invalidation After Updates or Deletions. PR 15868 [Graham

1N/A *) mod_dav: When a PROPPATCH attempts to remove a non-existent dead
1N/A property on a resource for which there is no dead property in the same
1N/A namespace httpd segfaults. PR 52559 [Diego Santa Cruz
1N/A *) mod_dav: PROPPATCH delete (svn propdel) silently discards errors.
1N/A *) mod_dav: Ensure URI is correctly uriencoded on return. PR 54611
1N/A *) mod_dav: Sending a If or If-Match header with an invalid ETag doesn't
1N/A result in a 412 Precondition Failed. PR 54610 [Timothy Wood
1N/A *) mod_dav: Make sure that when we prepare an If URL for Etag comparison,
1N/A *) core, mod_ssl: Lift the restriction that prevents mod_ssl taking
1N/A full advantage of the event MPM. Enable the ability for a module
1N/A to reverse the sense of a poll event from a read to a write or vice
1N/A versa. [Graham Leggett]

1N/A Cache the result of the most recent password hash verification for every
1N/A keep-alive connection. This saves some expensive calculations.
1N/A *) http: Remove support for Request-Range header sent by Navigator 2-3 and
1N/A MSIE 3. [Stefan Fritsch]
1N/A *) core, http: Extend HttpProtocol with an option to enforce stricter HTTP
1N/A conformance or to only log the found problems. [Stefan Fritsch]

1N/A [Jackie Zhang <jackie qq zhang gmail com>]
1N/A *) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL configuration commands [Stephen Henson]
1N/A *) core: Add LogLevelOverride directive that allows to override the
1N/A loglevel for clients from certain IPs. This also works for things
1N/A like the SSL handshake where <If> LogLevel ... </If> is evaluated
1N/A too late. [Stefan Fritsch]
1N/A *) core: Add new directive Warning to issue warnings from a configuration
1N/A file. Both Warning and Error now generate a timestamped log message.

1N/A a status code to the client (such as a 302 or a 500) [Daniel Gruno]
1N/A *) mod_lua: Decline handling 'lua-script' if the file doesn't exist,
1N/A rather than throwing an internal server error. [Daniel Gruno]
1N/A *) mod_lua: Add functions r:flush and r:sendfile as well as additional
1N/A request information to the request_rec structure. [Daniel Gruno]
1N/A *) mod_lua: Add a server scope for Lua states, which creates a pool of

1N/A to a file; configure --without-suexec-logfile --with-suexec-syslog.
1N/A *) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation. PR 52210.
1N/A *) cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will

1N/A Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
1N/A PR 51257. [Guenter Knauf]
1N/A *) core: In maintainer mode, replace apr_palloc with a version that
