| |
| 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: |

| |
| |
| PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: |
| |
| * 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 |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=571798 |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=571804 |
| +1: minfrin |
| rpluem says: r466865 has a conflict in modules/aaa/mod_auth.h |
| r571804 has a conflict in docs/manual/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.xml |
| Without r571838 the documentation for mod_authn_dbd fails |
| to build. |
| |
| * multiple files, Trivial cleanups |
| PR: 39518 - Christophe JAILLET |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557837 |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557972 |
| +1: rpluem |
| niq: this isn't a straight backport (which is why I dropped it). |
| +1 for core, modules/dav, modules/filters, and modules/ssl |
| Not Applicable to modules/aaa |
| |
| * mod_include: Add an "if" directive syntax to test whether an URL |
| is accessible, and if so, conditionally display content. This |
| allows a webmaster to hide a link to a private page when the user |
| has no access to that page. |

| PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED |
| |
| * 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=560373 |
| 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. |
| |
| * 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. |
| wrowe: conditional +1 if you rename the assanine function name |
| so no one confuses it for its implied purpose. |
| |
| * 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) |
| |
| * PKCS#7: backport PCKS#7 patches from trunk. |
| +1 ben |
| jerenkrantz: What's the revision number to backport? |
| wrowe asks: ditto jerenkrantz |
| sctemme: svn blame suggests r424707 |
| rpluem: Digging through the history suggests that |
| r424735 |
| r424821 |
| r424823 |
| need to be added to this. See also |
| http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200607.mbox/%3c20060723093125.GA19423@redhat.com%3e |
| and follow ups for more details. |

| * mod_proxy: Support variable interpolation in reverse proxy configuration |

| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=422178 (code) |

| +1: niq, mturk |
| -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. |
