<dd>Apache 2.2 includes version 5.0 of the
<a href="http://www.pcre.org/">Perl Compatible Regular Expression
Library</a> (PCRE).</dd>
<dt>Smart Filtering</dt>
<dd><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_filter.html">mod_filter</a></code> introduces dynamic configuration
to the output filter chain. It enables filters to be conditionally
inserted, based on any Request or Response header or environment
variable, and dispenses with the more problematic dependencies and
ordering problems in the 2.0 architecture.</dd>

the configuration directives as parsed by Apache, including
their file name and line number. The module also
shows the order of all request hooks and additional

<dt>Protocol handling for output filters</dt>
<dd>In the past, every filter has been responsible for ensuring
