| Last modified at [$Date: 1999/08/27 18:57:17 $] |
| |
| Release: |
| |
| 2.0: In pre-alpha development |
| |
| Plan: |
| |
| * Vague goal of an alpha or beta release in 1999. Commit-then-review |
| is active. |
| |
| RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: |
| |
| * CGI doesn't work |
| Status: Ben Laurie is working on this. |
| |
| * mod_status doesn't work |
| Status: Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com> is working on this. A |
| patch has been posted that starts to fix this: |
| (<19990825025653.A19065@samosa.mindspring.com> and |
| <19990825022146.A10096@io.com>) |
| |
| * suEXEC doesn't work |
| Ben Laurie's work to fix CGIs will also fix this. |
| |
| * Windows NT port isn't done |
| Status: Bill is working on this through his MPM work, and Ryan |
| is with APR. |
| |
| * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0 |
| work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did |
| |
| Status: Autoconf and APR will get us most of the way there. |
| |
| * The module API is a weird combination of the old table and the new |
| hook system. Switch completely to the new hook system |
| Status: Ben Laurie is working on this. |
| |
| RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP: |
| |
| (none listed) |
| |
| Other bugs that need fixing: |
| |
| * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests. |
| |
| * 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. |
| |
| Other features that need writing: |
| |
| * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration. |
| |
| * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies. |
| Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this. |
| |
| * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs |
| Status: ? |
| |
| * Work on other MPMs. Possible MPMs discussed or in progress include: |
| |
| - David Reid's <abb37@dial.pipex.com> Beos MPM |
| Status: in progress |
| |
| - Dean Gaudet's async MPM |
| Status: ? |
| |
| - Zach Brown's <zab@zabbo.net> Linux siginfo MPM |
| Status: ? |
| |
| Documentation that needs writing: |
| |
| * The concept of MPMs, especially if we ship more than one MPM for a |
| given platform |
| |
| * New directives in the various MPMs |
| |
| * API documentation |
| Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation |
| (apache-2.0/htdocs/hooks.html) |
| |
| Available Patches: |
| |
| * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve |
| performance |
| Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to |
| 2.0 |
| |
| Open issues: |
| |
| * What do we do about mod_proxy? |
| |
| * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0? |
