| |
| 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. |

| - Enforce the timeout for AP_MODE_GETLINE. |
| - If there is a timeout, shorten the lingering close time from 30 to |
| 2 seconds (involves a change in the core). |

| * mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is |
| a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response |
| from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses. |

| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-cache-partial-2.2.patch |
| +1: minfrin |
| niq asks: I can see the logic of not cacheing partial responses, |
| but why should mod_disk_cache worry about them if mod_cache allows |
| them, as in the following proposal? |
| |
| *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial |
| Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206 |
| was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or |
| Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing. |

| |
| * core: Pass the output filter information to newly created sub requests; |
| as these are later on used as true requests with an internal redirect. |
| This allows for mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect. |
| Furthermore adjust the output filter chain correctly in an internal |
| redirect from a subrequest, preserving filters from the main request as |
| necessary. |

| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-wildcard+docs2.patch |
| Submitted by: minfrin, poirier |
| +1: minfrin, jim, poirier |
| -1: wrowe [This introduces new invalid paths which do not resolve to any |
| configuration file paths, increasing the probability of unreported |
| syntax errors to further confuse the administrator.] |
| |
| * srclib/pcre and vendor/pcre |
| http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/pkg-pcre.html |
| |
| update to pcre-7.8 |
| outcome: remove from trunk, leave alone in branches/2.2.x and branches/2.0.x |
| |
| * core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests |
| with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to |
| original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests |
| with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or |
| providers are not registered as permitting this optimization. |
| Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration |
| which can accept additional mode and flag data. Convert common |
| provider version strings to macros. |
| The core purpose of this pile of patches is to avoid unnecessary |
| authn/z hooks when a single request spawns large numbers of internal |
| requests to which an identical set of httpd configurations apply. |
| This permits modules such as mod_authn_dbd and mod_dav to work together |
| acceptably. |
| Because certain external modules such as mod_authz_svn rely on the old |
| behaviour, this optimization can be made only when all authn/z hooks and |
| providers are registered with the appropriate flag. |
| It would be excellent if Windows and NetWare people could ensure this |
| builds correctly. |
| In particular, mod_auth.h must be included into request.c and I've left |
| mod_auth.h under modules/aaa rather than try to replicate wrowe's work |
| in trunk moving all the include files around. |
| I'm open to suggestions that this remain in trunk only, but in that case, |
| it would be very helpful to know whether most people expect a 2.4 branch |
| or just a 3.0 branch to be next. If 3.0, some of the backwards |
| compatibility work could potentially be ditched. |

| * 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). |
