  * 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

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.

PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
  [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ]

  * mod_rewrite: Also set the Vary header if a rewrite condition is true and
    uses a HTTP header, but all remaining rewrite conditions are skipped due
    to the [OR] flag.

    +0: jim: I'm curious that if this would result in some
             "regressions" for some users who either depend on
             the old behavior or have worked around it...
        rpluem answers: If r574684 is backported (see below) these users can
        fix it without workarounds and a clear and promised behaviour.
        Relying on the above is relying on a buggy iundocumented behaviour,
        but yes I do this sometimes by myself :-).
    +1: jim: iff r574684 is also backported

  * mod_rewrite: Add the novary flag to RewriteCond in order to prevent
    the appending of HTTP headers used in a rewrite condition to the Vary
    header of the response.

  * core log.c: Work around possible solutions rejected by apr for
    the old implementation of apr_proc_create(), and explicitly pass
    the output and error channels to all log processes created.
    This goes all the way back to piped logs failing to run on win32.
    Not in or needed at trunk/, as apr 1.3.0 has the proper fix.

    incorporating ap_send_interim_response core API

  * server/protocol.c: Prevent 1-byte overflow on 8192 boundary in
    ap_vrprintf(). PR 43310
    trunk:
       http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=589461
    2.2.x:
       Trunk version of patch works
    +1: jim, rpluem
    niq: Doesn't allocating 2^n+1 bytes risk being horribly inefficient?
         Would it make sense to reduce AP_IOBUFSIZE to 8091 so buf doesn't
         go one over a big boundary?
    jim: The issue is that we allocate an array of AP_IOBUFSIZE
         but go beyond that (note we send the end to curpos+AP_IOBUFSIZE)
         so it's not just reducing AP_IOBUFSIZE since then we would
         hit the bug at 8191 boundary instead of the 8192 one.
         The actual PR suggests simply removing the setting of '\0'
         which looks good, but there are loads of places in the related
         code where we use AP_IOBUFSIZE, so it seemed safer to me to
         simply allocate an extra byte. Note that other sections of
         code do this by setting the endpos to one less to "save"
         space for the NUL, but they don't have related sections
         which assume a set size; this does (AP_IOBUFSIZE).

  * mod_status: For long request lines we only see the front part of
    the requests in mod_status, which is useless if they only vary
    in their ending bits. Allow admin to specify whether they want
    to see the 1st 63 chars of the request, or the last.

  * mod_autoindex: make spacing in HTML code the same as before r593816. This
        avoids that the autoindex test (t/modules/autoindex) fails. Adjusting
        the autoindex test would cause it to fail with older versions and would
        make it harder to recognize regressions.

PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED

   * 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).
