apr_file_write_full() to prevent incomplete writes. PR 53131.
[Nicolas Viennot <apache viennot biz>, Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: Fix segfault in logging if r->useragent_addr or c->client_addr is
unset. [Stefan Fritsch]

be compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
PR 51257. [Guenter Knauf]
*) mod_ssl: Send the error message for speaking http to an https port using
HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/0.9, and omit the link that may be wrong when

PR 53048. [Stefan Fritsch]

[Stefan Fritsch]
*) mpm_event: Don't do a blocking write when starting a lingering close
from the listener thread. PR 52229. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: In maintainer mode, replace apr_palloc with a version that
initializes the allocated memory with non-zero values, except if
AP_DEBUG_NO_ALLOC_POISON is defined. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_log_config: Check during config test that directories for access logs
exist. PR 29941. [Stefan Fritsch]

enforce a configurable level of protocol compliance on their
servers and application servers behind theirs. [Graham Leggett]
