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. Note 2.2.18 contained an incompatible ABI change,
subsequently corrected, and should not be referenced.
* 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.

2.2.x patch (plus CHANGES entry above):
http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/httpd-2.2-r1524192-r1524770-TE-CL.patch
+1:
[wrowe asks] Where is verification of (!keepalive)? Do we know the
connection will be closed anytime in the near future?
PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
* mod_cache: Realign the cache_quick_handler() to behave identically
to the default_handler() when reacting to errors when writing to the
filter stack. Stops APR errors appearing in access_log as result codes.
Trunk patches: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1003913
2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-mod_cache-errorfix-22.patch
+1: minfrin
trawick: any reason it shouldn't be completely aligned with default_handler's
choice to return OK vs. 500?
rpluem: Agreed with trawick. They should behave the same.
* mod_ssl: Add support for Next Protocol Negotiation.
Trunk patch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1332643
2.2.x patch:
http://www.links.org/files/npn-patch-2.2.patch
+1: benl
sf notes: needs the buffer overflow fix from r1345599, too
wrowe notes: also needs correction to
ssl_engine_kernel.c: In function 'ssl_callback_AdvertiseNextProtos':
ssl_engine_kernel.c:2140:5: warning: implicit declaration of function
'modssl_run_npn_advertise_protos_hook'
Including mod_ssl.h after ssl_private.h seems to suffice.
The change introduces hard linkages from modules into
mod_ssl.so (distinct from httpd), AP is the incorrect
namespace, see mod_dav main hooks as an example.
Prior to this patch all calls to mod_ssl were by way of
registered functions through apr bindings. Seems there
aught to be a way to add an npn cooperating module when
mod_ssl is not loaded, but right now it would fail.
An mmn minor bump would also be required for API addition.
* modules/ldap/util_ldap.c: Correct erroneous messages

2.2.x patch: attached in PR 53402 (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29502)
+1: jailletc36
-1: rjung
rjung: the proposed 2.2 patch also changes LDAPTrustedClientCert to OR_AUTHCFG.
This change seems to come from PR46541 which needs a bigger backport (r915660)
Note: covener commented it in the PR as "I don't think LDAPTrustedClientCert can
really be made usable in 2.2.".
rjung: I don't understand what was voted on, the backport of both revisions
or only the PR attachment. The latter is only about r627637.
covener: withdrawing my vote, I reviewed the attachment but missed the OR_AUTHCFG change.
* core: Support wildcards in both the directory and file components of
the path specified by the Include directive.

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).

* prefork MPM: simple patch to enable mod_privileges.

drop_privileges hook).

+1: niq, igalic
* unixd: set suexec_enabled correctly when httpd is run by non-root
PR 42175
Trunk Patch: http://cvs.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=791337
2.2.x Patch: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=20004
+1: niq
-0: wrowe; Please refer to man 'access' BUGS section about linux 2.4
vs 2.6 kernels, potentially a suspect test for root.
sf: Couldn't the linux 2.4 bug be worked around by calling access
twice? Once with R_OK and once with X_OK.
wrowe: It would seem we only need to test for X_OK?
* 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.
Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=951222&view=rev
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?
rpluem says: As poirier correctly mentions, the same must be done for mod_mem_cache
as well.
*) 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.
Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=952823&view=rev
2.2.x Patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-cache-partial2-2.2.patch
+1: minfrin
-1: rpluem: Until the patch proposal above for mod_disk_cache is backported
and a similar patch for mod_mem_cache is proposed (no backport
possible since mod_mem_cache is no longer in trunk) and
committed.
* mod_proxy: Release the backend connection as soon as EOS is detected,
so the backend isn't forced to wait for the client to eventually
acknowledge the data.
Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1026665
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1030850
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1030855
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1035605
2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-mod_proxy-closeearly22-4.patch
+1: minfrin
+1: jim (requires mmn bump due to proxy_conn_rec)
rpluem says: r1052224 r1052314 need to be added as well as the patch above
has a thread safety issue.
minfrin: r1055246 needs to be added to r1052314 to ensure the cleanup
isn't attempted twice.
rpluem says: Mind to update the 2.2.x version of the patch with r1052224,
r1052314, r1055246 and r1055570 (Comment fix by Jim)?
* cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
Since PCRE is included with 2.2.x this patch also takes care for dftables.

2.2 patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.2.x-cross_compile.diff
fuankg: on hold until we agree for a better and more simple solution ...
* mod_ssl: Add RFC 5878 support. This allows support of mechanisms
such as Certificate Transparency. Note that new
mechanisms are supported without software updates.
trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1352596
2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ben/httpd-2.2-rfc5878.patch
+1: ben, druggeri
-1: kbrand
druggeri note: Needs docs for new directive
kbrand: depends on an unreleased OpenSSL version (1.0.2), and
RFC 5878 is of "Category: Experimental".
The API in the OpenSSL implementation from May 2012
(http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=22601) only covers the
privately-defined TLSEXT_AUTHZDATAFORMAT_audit_proof, there's
no support for x509_attr_cert (section 3.3.1 in RFC 5878) or
saml_assertion (3.3.2). SSL_CTX_use_authz_file doesn't have
any docs in OpenSSL, either, and there's no "openssl foo ..."
command or similar to create/manage such files.
Note: as of 2013-04-15, r1352596 has been reverted in trunk,
(with r1468131), for the reasons explained in the message with id
<515FED7C.5010009@velox.ch> sent to the dev list on 2013-04-06.
ben: not correct that it depends on OpenSSL 1.0.2, it builds with
any version. Also, if you read my note to dev@ you will see
why it is not premature.
