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. CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.2.x releases, such that no MMN major number changes will occur. Such changes can only be made in the trunk. * All commits to branches/2.2.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk, get feedback and votes on list or in STATUS, then merge into branches/2.2.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: * mpm_winnt: Eliminate wait_for_many_objects. Allows the clean shutdown of the server when the MaxClients is higher then 257, in a more responsive manner. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=573103 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=573105 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/mpm_winnt_shutdown-2.2.patch * mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. Trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=466865 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=571798 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=571804 +1: minfrin rpluem says: r466865 has a conflict in modules/aaa/mod_auth.h r571804 has a conflict in docs/manual/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.xml Without r571838 the documentation for mod_authn_dbd fails to build. * multiple files, Trivial cleanups PR: 39518 - Christophe JAILLET http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557837 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557972 +1: rpluem niq: this isn't a straight backport (which is why I dropped it). +1 for core, modules/dav, modules/filters, and modules/ssl Not Applicable to modules/aaa * mod_include: Add an "if" directive syntax to test whether an URL is accessible, and if so, conditionally display content. This allows a webmaster to hide a link to a private page when the user has no access to that page. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=571872 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=571927 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=572136 +1: minfrin PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED * mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X. PR: 42891 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=560373 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=562165 A version of the patch specific to the 2.2 branch (i.e. the patch that would be used for backport) can be found at: http://people.apache.org/~rederpj/NestedGroups_2.2.xBranch.diff +1: rederpj -0: bnicholes - Unless this is considered to be a significant deficiency in the authnz_ldap 2.2 functionality, I would rather see this as new functionality going forward in 2.4 rather than backported to 2.2. We need new functionality to push us forward rather than give us an excuse to stay where we are. rederpj says: I'm working on a project based on Apache 2.2.x which needs this code and I would much prefer to use official Apache code than end up using a private patch. It isn't possible in the short term for us to move to trunk. It just happened that code I had written to add this function lined up with PR 42891. I was going to submit it and work to get it backported either way. rpluem says: I am still missing a minor bump due to the changes done in util_ldap.h. This is an extension of a public API. trawick says: The new directives should be documented in trunk, so that docs are available for backport at the same time. * beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run(). Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed. Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config and mod_dbd).

See also http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200607.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow ups for more details. * mod_proxy: Support variable interpolation in reverse proxy configuration http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=421686 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=422178 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod/mod_proxy.xml?r1=420990&r2=421725 (docs) +1: niq, mturk -1: wrowe notes; modifying the existing syntax makes collaboration impossible by an admin team - unexpected side effects and the rest. ProxyPassEnv* or ProxyPassSubstitute* directives that add this behavior on a pattern-by-pattern basis would win my -1 to a +1, and solve the performance hits noted by niq on an 80/20 basis.
