Contributors looking for a mission: * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested". * Open bugs in the bug database. * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items. CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can only be made in the trunk. * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable. RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ] PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ] * mod_ssl: Add support for Next Protocol Negotiation. Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1332643 2.4.x patch: Trunk patch works. +1: ben sf says: Needs r1345599, too. And wrowe's comment about the 2.2 patch is also valid for 2.4: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1354823 * mod_ssl: Add RFC 5878 support. This allows support of mechansisms such as Certificate Transparency. Note that new mechanisms are supported without software updates. trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1352596 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ben/httpd-2.4-rfc5878.patch +1: ben, druggeri druggeri note: Needs docs for new directive kbrand: depends on an unreleased OpenSSL version (1.0.2), and RFC 5878 is of "Category: Experimental". Seems premature to me to consider for backporting to 2.4/2.2 at this point. 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. * mod_ssl: Add support for TLS-SRP (Secure Remote Password key exchange for TLS, RFC 5054). trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1347980 and http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1348653 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/ssl-TLS-SRP-2_4.patch +1: rjung, rjung: sf: you applied it to trunk, care to vote? * mod_ssl: Work correctly with a development version of OpenSSL. trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1358167 and http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1358168 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/ssl-support-uninstalled-openssl-2_4.patch +1: rjung: Revoked my vote due to ongoing discussion * mod_lua: Add a new directive, LuaCodeCache, for controlling the in-memory caching of scripts trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1366890 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1367025 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1367040 (*) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1367048 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1367042 (CHANGES) 2.4.x patch: Trunk patch works (*provided the authz provider gets backported) +1: humbedooh, rjung rjung: docs missing? humbedooh: It's in the 2.4 docs already, but commented out, as with a lot of other functions that were never actually made. It's a mess ;) * mod_cache: Wrong content type and character set when mod_cache serves stale content because of a proxy error. PR 53539. Correction to r1361153. trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1373447 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works. +1: rjung * mod_proxy_ajp: Fix crash in packet dump code when logging with LogLevel trace7 or trace8. PR 53730. trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1373898 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works. +1: rjung, jim A list of further possible backports can be found at: http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/possible-backports-httpd-trunk-2_4.txt If you want to propose one of those, please still add them here. OTHER PROPOSALS * opinion on more complete DefaultRuntimeDir use in 2.4.x? o If a module has a config directive for the run-time file that treats the configured path as relative to server root, preserve that behavior but change the location when not configured to respect DefaultRuntimeDir. With these changes, users with no per-runtime-file configuration directives can control everything with DefaultRuntimeDir. BUT: Existing users of DefaultRuntimeDir might get a short-term scare when some unconfigured run-time file starts respecting their DefaultRuntimeDir directive after an upgrade. +1: trawick, jim, rjung rjung: applicable trunk revisions WITHOUT the compatibility tweaks described above: heartbeat r1364695 scoreboard r1369477 core/pid file r1369808 core/mutex r1370288 mod_socache_XXX r1370225 mod_slotmem_plain r1370763 mod_ldap r1371684 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED * 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.
