+<li><strong>Improved HTTP/1.1-style Virtual Hosts</strong><br>
+ The new (undocumented) <a href="mod/core.html#namevirtualhost"><code>
+ NameVirtualHost</code></a> directive is used to list ip address:port
+ pairs on which HTTP/1.1-style virtual hosting occurs. This is
+ vhosting based on the <code>Host:</code> header from the client.
+ Previously this address was implicitly the same as the "main address"
+ of the machine, and this caused no end of problems for users, and
+ was not powerful enough.

<h3>Run-Time Configuration Changes</h3>

+ <li>Folks using HTTP/1.1-style virtual hosting will need to list the
+ ip:port pairs that are supposed to have HTTP/1.1-style virtual hosting
+ via the (undocumented) <a href="mod/core.html#namevirtualhost"><code>
+ NameVirtualHost</code></a> directive. Previously this support was
+ given implicitly on the "main server address". Now it has to be
+ explicitly listed so as to avoid many problems that users had.
+
+ <li>The precedence of virtual hosts has been reversed (applies mainly to
+ vhosts using HTTP/1.1 Host: headers, and the
+ <a href="mod/core.html#serverpath">ServerPath</a> directive). Now
+ the earlier vhosts in the file have precedence over the later vhosts.

+ *) Yet another vhost revamp. Add the NameVirtualHost directive which
+ explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
+ From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
+ only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port. The precedence of
+ vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
+ the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts. All vhost matching was
+ moved into http_vhost.[ch]. [Dean Gaudet]

*) ap_inline can be used to force inlining. GNUC __attribute__() can
be used for whatever reason is appropriate (i.e. format() warnings
for printf style functions). Both are enabled only with
