75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo SirainenRELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Turn on buffering for config file reads.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Get mod_auth_digest working under win32
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen - APR_HAS_RANDOM should be defined on windows and there is a
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen lib/apr/misc/win32/rand.c which is basically a copy of what
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen mod_auth_digest used to use.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Re-work configuration for top level Apache. Work should start with
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen trying to clean the autoconf stuff. If and only if this proves
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen impossible to do (very unlikely), autoconf should be removed and we
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen will roll our own config implementation.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen NOTE: When this is implemented, it would be really nice if the
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen default cgi module on Unix with a threaded MPM is the cgid
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen module. This should be override-able of course.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Jim Jagielski is looking into this.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen - Fix up ./configure to properly detect the various dynamic load
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen libraries/flags on the different platforms (current, we default
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen to -ldl which is wrong).
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * suEXEC doesn't work
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Manoj has posted an patch to fix this.

0b7d39288e87555ded736acfeb15376da09b3b6cTimo Sirainen * Win32: Enable the Windows MPM to honor max_requests_per_child
0b7d39288e87555ded736acfeb15376da09b3b6cTimo Sirainen Status: Bill will fix this.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen (at least) needs to be done:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen is not available on 95/98.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
bdb5cc256333e45d4e984433f7c1407fdfcf736aTimo Sirainen native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen we access the logs?
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen also seem out of sorts.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen OtherBill is working on this
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: fix build/run time environment to remove ApacheCore.dll
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: The best known candidate would be something from
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo SirainenRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen pthread MPMs will not build.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Reuse accept socket after transmitfile/close
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen This is not a bug, but would be nice to get this feature in
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
0b7d39288e87555ded736acfeb15376da09b3b6cTimo Sirainen * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen platforms that do not support fork.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen it would be nice to actually do so.
2a628a8c90839439baff5b45116f89f2b3cd9e37Aki Tuomi * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen duplicates what is in APR.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Move I/O layering into APR.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
46b823ac3bce2c0f9f0fc73911e48d3a77b04fbeTimo Sirainen system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
46b823ac3bce2c0f9f0fc73911e48d3a77b04fbeTimo Sirainen * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Manoj has placed an initial version into the 2.0
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen repository. Todos include:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@covalenet.net> is working on this.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen implementations (including something like the existing data type,
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: fanf is working on this.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * configuration option to use *DBM
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * add SDBM into src/lib/sdbm/ as a default/fallback DBM implementation.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen SDBM is used by Perl, mod_dav, mod_sssl, others for basic DBM support.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Integrate mod_dav.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Message-id: forthcoming (plan to be posted before integration begins)
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Greg +1 (volunteers :-)
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo SirainenOther bugs that need fixing:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * The mod_cgid daemon process isn't always cleaned up when httpd
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen gets SIGTERM. Jeff thinks it may be as simple as registering
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen the daemon process for cleanup with the proper pool, but he hasn't
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen looked at it in enough detail.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo SirainenOther features that need writing:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: post 2.0
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo SirainenDocumentation that needs writing:
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Mod_status docs are needed.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * The concept of MPMs, especially if we ship more than one MPM for a
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen given platform
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * New directives in the various MPMs and appropriate links from
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen obsolete directives in core.html to the MPM documentation.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Revise manual/stopping.html and the last part of
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen manual/misc/perf-tuning.html to take account of the MPMs.
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * API documentation
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Changes since 1.3.9 can be more easily seen in the commitlog file
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen dev.apache.org:/home/cvs/CVSROOT/commitlogs/apache-2.0
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen which includes some of Roy's comments when the changes were
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen committed in rough change-sets by purpose. Note that the commitlog

75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
75d9024d9409f4710e51dbe40ffb338a84bb1446Timo Sirainen * What do we do about mod_proxy?
2ac5f36aa7c2e7a07ba8815d43a6d7483f62e74cTimo Sirainen * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
