0N/A 2.0: In pre-alpha development
0N/A * Vague goal of an alpha or beta release in 1999. Commit-then-review
0N/ARELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
0N/A * suEXEC doesn't work
0N/A * Windows NT port isn't done
0N/A Status: Bill is working on this through his MPM work, and Ryan
2362N/A * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0
2362N/A work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did
0N/A Status: Autoconf and APR will get us most of the way there.
0N/A * The module API is a weird combination of the old table and the new
0N/A hook system. Switch completely to the new hook system
0N/A Status: Ben Laurie is working on this.
0N/ARELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
0N/A * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.
0N/A * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
0N/A Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this.
0N/A * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
0N/A are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
0N/AOther bugs that need fixing:
0N/A * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
0N/A * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
0N/A Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
0N/A behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
0N/A * Areas where APRFile is being used need to be cleaned-up
0N/A * SIGSEGV on Linux seems to only kill a thread not a whole process;
0N/A we need to work around this, probably by bouncing the signal to
0N/A the sigwait thread. But this will hurt debugability.
0N/AOther features that need writing:
0N/A * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
644N/A * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
0N/A * Odd comments in source (egrep for "ZZZ") need to be cleaned-up
0N/A * Work on other MPMs. Possible MPMs discussed or in progress include:
0N/A - Dean Gaudet's async MPM
0N/A - Zach Brown's <zab@zabbo.net> Linux siginfo MPM
0N/ADocumentation that needs writing:
0N/A * The concept of MPMs, especially if we ship more than one MPM for a
0N/A * New directives in the various MPMs
Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
* Changes since 1.3.9 can be more easily seen in the commitlog file
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.
* Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
* What do we do about mod_proxy?
* Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
