60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein    (at least) needs to be done:
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein    - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein    specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein    - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein        is not available on 95/98.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein        - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein        rand.c, at least.)

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt    CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt    we access the logs?

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein        Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein        signals are not being acknowledged.  Close window and shutdown
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt        also seem out of sorts.

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein    * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein      in a container, it is present in any subcontainers.  It can only be
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein      added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein      containers.

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt    * FreeBSD has issues when sendfile is used.  Some images aren't sent
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein      completely.  The work around is to turn off sendfile support.

    * add a version number to ap_initialize() as an extra failsafe against
      (APR) library version skew.

        Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Jeff +1, Ryan +1, Tony -0(?)

    * mod_info to use the configuration tree

    * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack

    * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
      into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.

    * the LTFLAGS = -export-dynamic in the config.m4 is wrong. it is getting
      added multiple times during the config process. The -export-dynamic
      should probably move into build/special.mk (the make file used for
      building Apache modules).

    * toss the AddModule directive. we add all prelinked modules
      automatically, and the LoadModule directive now implies
      AddModule. so... there is no point to it any more.

Other bugs that need fixing:

    * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.

        "MaxConnectionsPerChild".

    * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
        Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
        behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
        completely.

    * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
      sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
      there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.

    * The MM library is built as static and shared library. This should
      be set up to build only the required version.

Other features that need writing:

    * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
        Status: post 2.0

    * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there

Documentation that needs writing:
    * Mod_status docs are needed.

    * The concept of MPMs, especially if we ship more than one MPM for a
      given platform

    * New directives in the various MPMs and appropriate links from
    obsolete directives in core.html to the MPM documentation.

    * Revise manual/stopping.html and the last part of
    manual/misc/perf-tuning.html to take account of the MPMs.

    * API documentation
        Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
        (apache-2.0/htdocs/hooks.html)

    * Changes since 1.3.9 can be more easily seen in the commitlog file
         dev.apache.org:/home/cvs/CVSROOT/commitlogs/apache-2.0
      which includes some of Roy's comments when the changes were
      committed in rough change-sets by purpose.  Note that the commitlog
      does not show the contents of new files until later.

Available Patches:

   * Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe
     issues with inet_ntoa.  See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net>

        Status:

   * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve

     other small mod_usertrack features

   * Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt
     of SSI's to be modified in the config file.  Patch is available in
     PR6193

Open issues:

   * What do we do about mod_proxy?

   * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?

   * Is conf/highperformance.conf-dist obsolete?  It looks obsolete.
