status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.
[Geoffrey Young]

Don't place script socket inside default server root instead of
actual server root. PR 27886. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when

"ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured. PR 20183.
[Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]
*) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize
directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread
stack size for threads which handle client connections. Required
for some third-party modules on platforms with small default
thread stack size. [Jeff Trawick]
*) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync. mod_auth_basic

now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
[Geoffrey Young]
*) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under

the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
[Apache Software Foundation]

"make clean" processing. PR 26552. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and

accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
[André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed

as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
mode. PR 25635. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via

the [handler=...] flag. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns

true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.
[André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow proxying and RewriteRules in directory context

for subrequests. PR 14648, 15114. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow setting of any valid HTTP response code.

PR 25917. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Cookie creation now works locale independent.

[André Malo]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for distributed session cache using 'distcache'.

[Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
*) mod_dav: Disallow requests with an unescaped hash character in

the Request-URI. PR 21779. [Amit Athavale <amit_athavale lycos.com>]

attaches a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header.
PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]
*) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response

header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
redirects. [Ken Coar]
*) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>'

in the initial container. PR 25414.
[Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.

cache information in server-status page. [Joe Orton]

dropped connections. [Jeff Trawick]

[Chris Knight <Christopher.D.Knight nasa.gov>]
*) Log an error when requests for URIs which fail to map to a valid
filesystem name are rejected with 403. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Switch to APR 1.0 API.
*) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code

is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases
that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
incompatible change of mod_include's external API. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.

*) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously

the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493. [André Malo]
*) Change Listen directive to bind to all addresses when a hostname is

not specified. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.

[Colm MacCárthaigh <colm stdlib.net>, Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix a link failure in mod_ssl when the OpenSSL libraries contain

the ENGINE functions but the engine header files are missing.
[Cliff Woolley]
*) mod_rewrite: RewriteRules in server context using the force

type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
[André Malo]

the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable. [André Malo]
*) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,

which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
[André Malo]
*) mod_speling: Recognize AcceptPathInfo setting for the particular

location. Default is to reject path information. PR 21059.
[André Malo]

[Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner linbit.com>]
*) Fix some broken log messages in WinNT MPM.

[Juan Rivera <Juan.Rivera citrix.com>]
*) prefork MPM: Use the right permissions for the directory created
for gprof support. [Jim Carlson <jcarlson jnous.com>]
*) Fix a compile failure with recent OpenSSL and picky compilers

(e.g., OpenSSL 0.9.7a and xlc_r on AIX). [Jeff Trawick]
*) OpenSSL headers should be included as "openssl/ssl.h", and not rely on

the INCLUDE path to be defined properly.
PR 11310. [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
*) Modify APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT to detect SSL-C. [Madhusudan Mathihalli]

programs (RewriteMap prg:/something). [Jeff Trawick]

the truncated line. PR 15857. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Allow restart of httpd to occur even with syntax errors in the config
file. PR 16813. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Use APR_LAYOUT instead of APACHE_LAYOUT in configure. PR 15679.

*) Remove files on 'make distclean' that should be. PR 15592.

[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Allow apachectl to perform status with links and elinks as well.

[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) mod_log_config change optional hook to return previous handler

[Ian Holsman]
*) Forward port of mod_actions' ability to handle arbitrary methods

with the Script directive. [André Malo]
*) Let suexec send a message to stderr, if it failed or its policy

was violated. This message appears in the error log and allows
for easier debugging. PR 5381, 7638, 8255, 10773. [André Malo]
*) Modify buildconf to copy all required files into httpd's tree.

[Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]

1.3.21. [André Malo]
*) Add mod_dav_lock - a generic subset of the DAV locking implementation.

[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Replace some of the mutex locking in the worker MPM with

atomic operations for higher concurrency. [Brian Pane]
*) Allow 'make depend' to work with non-GCC compilers.

[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) If an httpd.conf has commented out AddModule directives,

apxs -i -a will add an un-commented AddModule directive for
the new module, which breaks the config.
PR: 11212 [Joe Orton]
*) Fix mod_proxy handling of filtered input bodies. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Move the check of the Expect request header field after the hook
for ap_post_read_request, since that is the only opportunity for
modules to handle Expect extensions. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Rewrite of aaa modules to an authn/authz model.
