     [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
     
  *) Log the client IP address when an error occurs disabling nagle on a
     connection, but log at a severity of debug since this error 
     generally means that the connection was dropped before data was

     handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module.  The

     [Jean Frederic Clere]

  *) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
     as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there

     to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
     testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]

     ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
     Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
     [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]

  *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
     the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:

     directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) mod_ssl/mod_status: Re-enable support for output of SSL session
     cache information in server-status page.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Remove the shmht session cache, shmcb should be used
     instead.  [Joe Orton]

  *) 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.
     PR 14223.  [André Malo]

     the ENGINE functions but the engine header files are missing.
     [Cliff Woolley]

     type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_authz_groupfile: Strip trailing spaces of group names. This
     hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
     the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable.  [André Malo]

     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]

  *) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to filter request bodies.
     [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]

  *) Replace the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT method with a cleaner one, using
     autoconf tools (AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_LIB etc). 
     [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]

  *) change directive name from 'compressionlevel' to 'deflatecompressionlevel'
     [Ian Holsman, André Malo]

  *) mod_negotiation: quality values are now parsed independent from
     the current locale. level values are now really parsed as integers.
     PR 17564.  [André Malo]

  *) Extend mod_negotiation to evaluate the environment variables
     no-gzip and gzip-only-text/html the same way as mod_deflate does.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix some problems reporting errors with mapping
     programs (RewriteMap prg:/something).  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Return 413 if chunk-ext-header is too long rather than reading from
     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.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Remove files on 'make distclean' that should be.  PR 15592.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

     [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>]

  *) Allow mod_dav to do weak entity comparison functions.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Move RFC 1413 ident requests from core to new module mod_ident.
     [André Malo]

  *) Add mod_authz_owner - a forward port of "Require file-owner"
     and "Require file-group", which was already present in version
     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.
     [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Justin Erenkrantz]
