- *) Integrated mod_rewrite 3.0.9 & Moved development authority
- The last officially available release of mod_rewrite (3.0.9) was
- integrated into the Apache source repository. Additionally to the
fact
- that this fixes some bugs, mod_rewrite now is no longer developed and
- maintained _externally_ by the original author Ralf S. Engelschall.
- Instead he has officially joined the Apache Group and gifted the
- sources to it (removed the shared copyright), so further development
- takes place directly at the Apache Groups source repository. No more
- version synchronizations are needed in the future.
+ *) Totally overhauled mod_rewrite:
+ First the last officially available release of mod_rewrite (3.0.9) was
+ integrated into the Apache source repository. Additionally to the fact
+ that this fixed some bugs, mod_rewrite now is no longer developed and
+ maintained _externally_ by the original author Ralf S. Engelschall.
+ Instead he has officially joined the Apache Group and gifted the
+ complete sources to it (removed the shared copyright), so further
+ development takes place directly at the Apache Groups source
+ repository. No more version synchronizations are needed in the future.
+ Additionally the rewriting engine was both enhanced and cleaned up by
+ introducing a generic way to interpolate backreferences. The
noticeable
+ effect is that one now can use backreferences at nearly any string
+ construction point (RewriteRule subst string, RewriteCond test string,
+ ENV flag key/value, etc.) to access the parts of RewriteRule and
+ RewriteCond patterns via $N and %N.
