Changes with Apache 2.5.0
*) SECURITY: CVE-2012-2687 (cve.mitre.org)

possible XSS for a site where untrusted users can upload files to
a location with MultiViews enabled. [Niels Heinen <heinenn google.com>]
*) mod_ssl: If exiting during initialization because of a fatal error,
log a message to the main error log pointing to the appropriate
virtual host error log. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_ldap: Treat the "server unavailable" condition as a transient
error with all LDAP SDKs. [Filip Valder <filip.valder vsb.cz>]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS-SRP (Secure Remote Password key exchange
for TLS, RFC 5054). PR 51075. [Quinn Slack <sqs cs stanford edu>,
Christophe Renou, Peter Sylvester]
*) htdbm, htpasswd: Don't crash if crypt() fails (e.g. with FIPS enabled).
[Paul Wouters <pwouters redhat.com>, Joe Orton]
*) mod_ssl: Add new directive SSLCompression to disable TLS-level
compression. PR 53219. [Björn Jacke <bjoern j3e de>, Stefan Fritsch]

ap_pregcomp() abort if out of memory. This raises the minimum PCRE

[Stefan Fritsch]
*) mpm_event: Fix handling of MaxConnectionsPerChild. [Stefan Fritsch]

setuid/setgid capability bits rather than a setuid root binary.
[Joe Orton]
*) suexec: Add support for logging to syslog as an alternative to logging
to a file; configure --without-suexec-logfile --with-suexec-syslog.
[Joe Orton]
*) mod_proxy_ajp: Reduce memory usage in case of many keep-alive requests on
one connection. PR 52275. [Naohiro Ooiwa <naohiro ooiwa miraclelinux com>]

forwarding to SSL backends. PR 53134.
[Michael Weiser <michael weiser.dinsnail.net>, Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation. PR 52210.
[Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]
*) mod_so: If a filename without slashes is specified for LoadFile or
LoadModule and the file cannot be found in the server root directory,
try to use the standard dlopen() search path. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) various modules, rotatelogs: Replace use of apr_file_write() with
apr_file_write_full() to prevent incomplete writes. PR 53131.
[Nicolas Viennot <apache viennot biz>, Stefan Fritsch]
*) 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]
*) mod_authz_core: Fix parsing of Require arguments in <AuthzProviderAlias>.
PR 53048. [Stefan Fritsch]

is no EOS bucket in the brigade. Fixes segfault with mod_proxy_fcgi.
PR 48272. [Stefan Fritsch]

backend, send an error to the client. PR 52879. [Stefan Fritsch]

*) core: Add the port number to the vhost's name in the scoreboard.
[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_authnz_ldap: Don't try a potentially expensive nested groups
search before exhausting all AuthLDAPGroupAttribute checks on the
current group. PR52464 [Eric Covener]
*) mod_policy: Add a new testing module to help server administrators
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]
*) mod_noloris
*) APREQ
*) Simple MPM
*) mod_serf
