864N/AChanges with Apache 2.3.0
864N/A[ When backported to
2.2.x, remove entry from this file ]
864N/A *) http_protocol: Escape request method in 405 error reporting.
864N/A This has no security impact since the browser cannot be tricked
864N/A into sending arbitrary method strings. [Jeff Trawick]
864N/A installer. This will permit the installation tool to remove
864N/A all running instances before attempting to remove the .exe.
864N/A *) mod_proxy: Lower memory consumption for short lived connections.
864N/A PR 44026. [Ruediger Pluem]
864N/A *) mod_proxy: Keep connections to the backend persistent in the HTTPS case.
864N/A *) rotatelogs: Improve atomicity when using -l and cleaup code.
864N/A *) mod_ssl: Add support for OCSP validation of client certificates.
5754N/A *) mod_unique_id: Fix timestamp value in UNIQUE_ID.
864N/A *) mod_serf: New module for Reverse Proxying. [Paul Querna]
864N/A *) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain
864N/A size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
864N/A such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
903N/A to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
903N/A requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]
864N/A *) mod_ssl: Fix TLS upgrade (RFC 2817) support. PR 41231. [Joe Orton]
864N/A *) scoreboard: Correctly declare ap_time_process_request.
2086N/A *) core; scoreboard: ap_get_scoreboard_worker(sbh) now takes the sbh member
2086N/A from the connection rec, ap_get_scoreboard_worker(proc, thread) will now
1162N/A provide the unusual legacy lookup. [William Rowe]
864N/A *) mpm winnt: fix null pointer dereference
864N/A *) mod_deflate: Don't leave a strong ETag in place while transforming
1182N/A *) core: reinstate location walk to fix config for subrequests
3853N/A *) mod_log_config: Add format options for %p so that the actual local
864N/A or remote port can be logged. PR 43415. [Adam Hasselbalch Hansen
864N/A <ahh@one.com>, Ruediger Pluem, Jeff Trawick]
1177N/A *) mod_authnz_ldap, mod_authn_dbd: Tidy up the code to expose authn
1177N/A parameters to the environment. Improve portability to
864N/A EBCDIC machines by using apr_toupper(). [Martin Kraemer]
864N/A *) mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (
i.e. the ability
864N/A to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
864N/A where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.
1183N/A *) mod_ssl: Add support for caching SSL Sessions in memcached. [Paul Querna]
864N/A *) ab: Add -r option to continue after socket receive errors.
1204N/A *) mod_ldap: Fix the search limit parameter to ldap_search_ext_s()
864N/A for SDKs that define LDAP_NO_LIMIT to something other than -1.
864N/A *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values
864N/A when invoked without variable name(s).
864N/A [William Rowe, Sander Temme]
864N/A *) apxs: Eliminate run-time check for mod_so. PR 40653.
3853N/A *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
3853N/A entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
1191N/A *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
903N/A cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
903N/A *) mod_dbd: Stash DBD connections in request_config of initial request
864N/A only, or else sub-requests and internal redirections may cause
864N/A entire DBD pool to be stashed in a single HTTP request. [Chris Darroch]
864N/A *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
864N/A *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
2624N/A the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
1204N/A AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
2624N/A location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
3853N/A *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
1204N/A into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
864N/A mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
3853N/A *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
1204N/A value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
3853N/A may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
864N/A weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
3853N/A *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
1204N/A *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets
2624N/A the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
1204N/A bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
864N/A *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
864N/A *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
1191N/A now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
864N/A *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
864N/A open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
864N/A directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
2089N/A to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
2089N/A and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
864N/A appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
4890N/A *) mod_proxy: don't URLencode tilde in path component
1191N/A *) mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects.
4802N/A The return value is index to the signaled thread in the
864N/A creted_threads array. We can not use WAIT_TIMEOUT because
864N/A his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads
864N/A to that value. [Mladen Turk]
3853N/A *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
3853N/A to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
864N/A SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
864N/A *) mod_proxy: Support environment variable interpolation in reverse
1689N/A proxying directives. [Nick Kew]
864N/A *) core: Add the filename of the configuration file to the warning message
864N/A about the useless use of AllowOverride. PR 39992.
864N/A *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
864N/A configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
2350N/A The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than
864N/A the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
3853N/A *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
864N/A within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
864N/A *) mod_cache: Convert all values to seconds before comparing them when
864N/A checking whether to send a Warning header for a stale response.
864N/A *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their
1183N/A *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
864N/A performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch]
1177N/A *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
1177N/A loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
864N/A definitions relating to old life_status field.
864N/A *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
864N/A *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
864N/A [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
864N/A *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
864N/A *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
1689N/A invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
864N/A *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
864N/A authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
864N/A 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
864N/A into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
3853N/A *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
3853N/A into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
3853N/A support for these directives.
3853N/A *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
3853N/A add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
864N/A and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce '
AND/OR'
864N/A logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
864N/A *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
864N/A authorization provider vector and contains common authz
864N/A directives. [Brad Nicholes]
864N/A *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
1191N/A 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
864N/A *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
4501N/A host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
864N/A through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
2089N/A *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
2350N/A provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
4890N/A *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
4890N/A seconds to cache a document.
911N/A *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
4802N/A *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
5754N/A *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
5754N/A the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
3853N/A This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
864N/A of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
3853N/A indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
3853N/A *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
864N/A and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
3853N/A *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
3853N/A *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
3853N/A *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
903N/A *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
903N/A allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
1191N/A access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
903N/A [Martin Kraemer, David Reid]
1002N/A [Apache 2.1.0-dev includes those bug fixes and changes with the
903N/A Apache
2.2.xx tree as documented, and except as noted, below.]
