98N/A is configured without mod_filter. [Eric Covener]
98N/A *) mod_lua: Register LuaOutputFilter scripts as changing the content and

98N/A *) mod_file_cache: mod_file_cache should be able to serve files that
98N/A haven't had a Content-Type set via

98N/A *) core: merge AllowEncodedSlashes from the base configuration into
98N/A virtual hosts. [Eric Covener]
98N/A *) mod_ldap: Don't keep retrying if a new LDAP connection times out.

98N/A not only when AuthName is used in .htaccess files (this change may cause

106N/A to the output filters, which is bogus in the proxy case. Create a

98N/A needed. [Graham Leggett]
98N/A *) mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as

98N/A *) core, mod_ssl: Enable the ability for a module to reverse the sense of
194N/A a poll event from a read to a write or vice versa. This is a step on
98N/A the way to allow mod_ssl taking full advantage of the event MPM.
98N/A *) mod_ldap: LDAP connections used for authentication were not respecting
98N/A LDAPConnectionPoolTimeout. PR 54587
98N/A *) core: ap_rgetline_core now pulls from r->proto_input_filters.

191N/A MSIE 3. [Stefan Fritsch]

198N/A URL in the request line. [Stefan Fritsch]

98N/A like the SSL handshake where <If> LogLevel ... </If> is evaluated
98N/A too late. [Stefan Fritsch]
98N/A *) core: Add new directive Warning to issue warnings from a configuration
98N/A file. Both Warning and Error now generate a timestamped log message.
212N/A *) ap_expr: Add SERVER_PROTOCOL_VERSION, ..._MAJOR, and ..._MINOR
212N/A variables. [Stefan Fritsch]
98N/A *) core: New directive RegisterHttpMethod for registering non-standard
98N/A HTTP methods. [Stefan Fritsch]
111N/A *) core: New directive HttpProtocol which allows to disable HTTP/0.9
111N/A support. [Stefan Fritsch]
111N/A *) mod_allowhandlers: New module to forbid specific handlers for specific
111N/A directories. [Stefan Fritsch]
206N/A *) mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.
98N/A *) WinNT MPM: Store pid and generation for each thread in scoreboard
98N/A to allow tracking of threads from exiting children via mod_status
212N/A or other such mechanisms. [Jeff Trawick]

98N/A - core: the scoreboard (ScoreBoardFile), pid file (PidFile), and
98N/A - mod_cache: thundering herd lock directory
98N/A - mod_lbmethod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor: heartbeat storage file
182N/A - mod_ldap: shared memory cache

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

enforce a configurable level of protocol compliance on their
servers and application servers behind theirs. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_firehose: Add a new debugging module able to record traffic
passing through the server in such a way that connections
and/or requests be reconstructed and replayed. [Graham Leggett]
