12679N/A command-line options. PR 55360.
12679N/A *) mod_unique_id: Use output of the PRNG rather than IP address and
12679N/A pid, avoiding sleep() call and possible DNS issues at startup,
12679N/A plus improving randomness for IPv6-only hosts.

14320N/A *) mod_authnz_ldap: Support primitive LDAP servers that do not accept
14320N/A filters, such as "SDBM-backed LDAP" on
z/OS, by allowing a special
12679N/A filter "none" to be specified in AuthLDAPURL. [Eric Covener]

18988N/A *) mod_deflate: permit compilation of mod_deflate against a zlib that has
18988N/A been configured with -D Z_PREFIX, which redefines the token "deflate".
18988N/A *) mod_auth_digest: Use the secret when generating nonces in all cases and
18988N/A not only when AuthName is used in .htaccess files (this change may cause
18988N/A problems if used with round robin load balancers). Don't regenerate the
18988N/A secret on graceful restarts. PR 54637 [Stefan Fritsch]
18988N/A *) ab: Add a new -l parameter in order not to check the length of the responses.

18988N/A *) core: Stop the HTTP_IN filter from attempting to write error buckets
18988N/A to the output filters, which is bogus in the proxy case. Create a
18988N/A clean mapping from APR codes to HTTP status codes, and use it where
18988N/A *) mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as
18988N/A 504 Gateway Timout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway, in order to be
18988N/A compliant with RFC2616 14.9.4 Cache Revalidation and Reload Controls.
18988N/A *) mod_dav: mod_dav overrides dav_fs response on PUT failure. PR 35981
18988N/A *) core, mod_ssl: Lift the restriction that prevents mod_ssl taking

18988N/A to reverse the sense of a poll event from a read to a write or vice
18988N/A *) mod_ldap: LDAP connections used for authentication were not respecting
18988N/A LDAPConnectionPoolTimeout. PR 54587

18988N/A Cache the result of the most recent password hash verification for every
18988N/A keep-alive connection. This saves some expensive calculations.
18988N/A *) http: Remove support for Request-Range header sent by Navigator 2-3 and
18988N/A *) core, http: Extend HttpProtocol with an option to enforce stricter HTTP
18988N/A conformance or to only log the found problems. [Stefan Fritsch]
14320N/A *) core: Correctly parse an IPv6 literal host specification in an absolute
14320N/A URL in the request line. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL configuration commands [Stephen Henson]
*) core: Add LogLevelOverride directive that allows to override the
loglevel for clients from certain IPs. This also works for things
like the SSL handshake where <If> LogLevel ... </If> is evaluated
too late. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: Add new directive Warning to issue warnings from a configuration
file. Both Warning and Error now generate a timestamped log message.
*) ap_expr: Add SERVER_PROTOCOL_VERSION, ..._MAJOR, and ..._MINOR

HTTP methods. [Stefan Fritsch]

directories. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.
*) core: Add pre_htaccess hook, allowing mpm-itk
to be used without patches to httpd core. [Jeff Trawick]
*) WinNT MPM: Store pid and generation for each thread in scoreboard
to allow tracking of threads from exiting children via mod_status
or other such mechanisms. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_ssl: Catch missing or mismatched client
cert/key pairs with
- APIs: ap_log_pid(), ap_remove_pid, ap_read_pid()
- core: the scoreboard (ScoreBoardFile), pid file (PidFile), and
- mod_cache: thundering herd lock directory
- mod_lbmethod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor: heartbeat storage file
- mod_ldap: shared memory cache
- mod_socache_shmcb, mod_socache_dbm: shared memory or dbm for cache
*) suexec: Add --enable-suexec-capabilites support on Linux, to use
*) suexec: Add support for logging to syslog as an alternative to logging
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]

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]
