| CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: |
| |
| * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.2.x releases, such |
| that no MMN major number changes will occur. Such changes can only be |
| made in the trunk. |
| |
| * All commits to branches/2.2.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, |
| as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk, |
| get feedback and votes on list or in STATUS, then merge into |
| branches/2.2.x, as applicable. |

| PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: |
| [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ] |
| |
| |
| PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: |
| |
| * mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects. |
| Note - this is required to avoid hangups of socket #64, #128 |
| as Microsoft set aside 64 reserved values. |
| Trunk version of patch: |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=428029 |
| 2.2.x version of patch: |
| Trunk version works |
| http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/mpm_winnt_waits.patch |
| is easier to read (-U8) |
| +1: mturk |
| +0: fielding (patch is okay, underlying code is crap) |
| wrowe notes: a patch should have the necessary effect with the |
| minimum lines of code - there's alot of redecorating that's |
| going on in this patch to no net effect. The WAIT_TIMEOUT |
| result value seems to be ignored in the revised code? |
| mturk notes: WAIT_TIMEOUT is replaced by WAIT_FAILED with |
| the accompanied patch in mpm\winnt\child.c. |
| fielding notes: the routine is brain-dead -- one cannot replicate |
| a wait for many objects by iterating through multiple waits with |
| a one second sleep in between loops. That's insane. |
| The right ways to do that are explained in the MSDN article |
| <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms687025.aspx> |
| In any case, it should be checking nCount <= MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS |
| first and use the simple wait in that case. |
| mturk notes: We are interested in that only during shutdown |
| so a one second simplification is acceptable compromise. |
| The sole purpose of the patch is to allow the clean shutdown |
| when the MaxClients is higher then 257. |
| |
| * mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select |
| into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings |
| mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. |
| Trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=466865 |
| +1: minfrin |
| niq: This wants a little tidying. Use of 13 as a magic number (for a |
| strlen of something defined elsewhere) is nasty. More importantly |
| you need to document how it affects the module's directives. |
| I'll +1 it when that's done. |
| wrowe: ditto's - good concept. |
| |
| * mod_dbd: initialise resources and prepared statements in all vhosts |
| PRs: 42327, 41302 |
| Trunk: N/A due to other changes (r503931 et al) |
| Patch by bojan: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=20161 |
| +1: niq |
| -1: chrisd: I think r503931 is actually the right thing to backport here, |
| which admittedly probably requires backporting r491729, r491884, |
| r492394 (trivial), and r496831 first. While more complex than a |
| quick patch, I think the explanation in the fourth section of this |
| post explains why there's no simple fix for the virtual-host |
| inheritance issues: |
| |
| http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2 |
| |
| Doing this work would also let us close at least three PRs. |
| PR 42327 seems like a duplicate of 41302 (both would be closed |
| by r503931), and r496831 would close PR 39985 as well. |
| |
| * mod_dbd: Rename functions and variables for consistency, and move |
| some functions around for readability, prior to making |
| functional changes for PRs 39985, 41302, and other issues. |
| Trunk version of patches: |

| 2.2.x version of patch: |
| http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mod_dbd-1tidy-2.2.x.patch |
| +1: chrisd, fuankg |
| +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) |
| |
| * mod_dbd: Handle error conditions in dbd_construct() properly. |
| Simplify ap_dbd_open() and use correct arguments to apr_dbd_error() |
| when non-threaded. Register correct cleanup data in non-threaded |
| ap_dbd_acquire() and ap_dbd_cacquire(). Clean up configuration data |
| and merge function. Use ap_log_error() wherever possible. |

| +1: chrisd |
| +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) |
| |
| * beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when |
| entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run(). |
| Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed. |
| Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered in modules' |
| child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config and mod_dbd). |
| Trunk version of patch: |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=491922 |
| 2.2.x version of patch: |
| http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mpm_child_init-beos-2.2.x.patch |
| +0: chrisd (abstaining; unable to test) |
| |
| * mod_dbd: Create memory sub-pools for each DB connection and close |
| DB connections in a pool cleanup function. Ensure prepared statements |
| are destroyed before DB connection is closed. When using reslists, |
| prevent segfaults when child processes exit, and stop memory leakage |
| of ap_dbd_t structures. Avoid use of global s->process->pool, which |
| isn't destroyed by exiting child processes in most multi-process MPMs. |

| +1: chrisd |
| +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) |
| |
| * mod_dbd: Introduce configuration groups to allow inheritance by virtual |
| hosts of database configurations from the main server. Determine the |
| minimal set of distinct configurations and share connection pools |
| whenever possible. Allow virtual hosts to override inherited SQL |
| statements. See also the fourth section of: |
| http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2 |
| and the eventual solution as implemented in the dbd_post_config() |
| function. Obviates r424798, r432560, r432562, and r466641. |
| Could be improved by the addition of <DBDGroup> configuration |
| sections. (Any takers? :-) |

| * mod_proxy: Improve traces in ap_proxy_http_process_response() |
| to investigate PR37770. |
| Trunk version of patch: |

| +1: jfclere, mturk |
| -0.5: rpluem says: As said in |
| http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200706.mbox/%3c46828E5A.50606@apache.org%3e |
| I would prefer creating the brigade used in ap_proxygetline outside of |
| the loop and pass it to ap_proxygetline for each call. Only do an |
| apr_brigade_cleanup inside of ap_proxygetline then. Furthermore the |
| check for a buffer overflow a few lines later is not correct any more |
| (now an error (APR_ENOSPC) is returned instead). |

| niq: this isn't a straight backport (which is why I dropped it). |

| Not Applicable to modules/aaa |

| * mod_proxy: Enable ProxySet inside <Proxy> section to create balancer or |
| worker if they were not already created. This allows to have ProxySet |
| directive before BalancerMember directives inside Proxy section. |
| Trunk version of patch: |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=427920&view=rev |
| Backport version for 2.2.x of patch: |
| Trunk version of patch works |
| +1: rpluem, jim |
| -0.5: niq - This (ProxySet) needs documenting. |
| Reviewing it 'blind' lacks appeal. |
| |
| * mod_proxy: Allow optional name=value options within <Proxy section line. |
| Additional arguments are allowed only for 'standard' url's, meaning that |
| the wildchar urls will return error like before. This allow to specify |
| the worker/balancer parameters on the definition line, without the need |
| for extra ProxySet options. |

| * mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability |
| to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive |
| where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X. |
| PR: 42891 |

| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=562165 |
| A version of the patch specific to the 2.2 branch (i.e. the patch that |
| would be used for backport) can be found at: |
| http://people.apache.org/~rederpj/NestedGroups_2.2.xBranch.diff |
| +1: rederpj |
| -0: bnicholes - Unless this is considered to be a significant deficiency in the |
| authnz_ldap 2.2 functionality, I would rather see this as new |
| functionality going forward in 2.4 rather than backported to |
| 2.2. We need new functionality to push us forward rather than |
| give us an excuse to stay where we are. |
| rederpj says: I'm working on a project based on Apache 2.2.x which needs this code |
| and I would much prefer to use official Apache code than end up using a private |
| patch. It isn't possible in the short term for us to move to trunk. It just |
| happened that code I had written to add this function lined up with PR 42891. |
| I was going to submit it and work to get it backported either way. |
| rpluem says: I am still missing a minor bump due to the changes done |
| in util_ldap.h. This is an extension of a public API. |
| trawick says: The new directives should be documented in trunk, |
| so that docs are available for backport at the same time. |

| -1: wrowe notes; modifying the existing syntax makes collaboration |
| impossible by an admin team - unexpected side effects and the rest. |
| ProxyPassEnv* or ProxyPassSubstitute* directives that add this |
| behavior on a pattern-by-pattern basis would win my -1 to a +1, |
| and solve the performance hits noted by niq on an 80/20 basis. |
