Hi,

I think Mladen and I completed our code change plans for the next
release of mod_jk. Since over all we had more changes than we expected
when we started for 1.2.20 I would like to give the opportunity of
testing, before I do the tagging. In case no show stoppers will be found
I suggest tagging late saturday, or early sunday, so that we can finish
the release vote during the next week.

I produced a source tarball with the usual release script. It contains
everything similar to a release except for the final version number and
the correct release dates in the release docs.

You can find it under:

http://people.apache.org/~rjung/mod_jk-1.2.20-dev/

There is a directory docs containing the reorganized and slightly
extended docs, a directory source containing the .tar.gz, .zip, the
signature and checksum files and finally an empty directory binaries,
which might be filled tomorrow by Mladen with Windows build(s).

I would really appreciate, if some of our long term mod_jk experts could
have a look at it.

Major changes:

- improved IIS 6 support (e.g. shm, thread counts
- improved virtual host support for apache, also documented
- reworked status worker (see new docs page)
- reorganized docs, new pages for uriworkermap.properties and status worker

Minor features:

- fail_on_status attribute
- rename jvm_route -> route (but code still works with old config)
- uriworkermap reload interval configurable
- max_packet_size documented
- new uriworkermap reload semantics (delete old uriworkermap entries
from internal list during reload)
- load balancer strategy "Sessions"
- more flushing options

BZ fixes:

- 36121: Don't change main uri when mod_jk serves included uri. (markt)
- 40966: Fix socket descriptor checks on windows. (mturk)
- 40965: Initialize missing service parameters. (mturk)
- 40938: Fix releasing of rewrite map. Thanks to Chris Adams for
spotting that. (mturk)
- 40856: Fixing case sensitivity bug in URL mapping. (rjung)
- 40793: Documentation: Improvements to Apache HowTo provided by Paul
Charles Leddy. (markt)
- 40774: Fixing wrong recursion termination. This one restricted the
"reference" feature unintentionally to 20 workers. (rjung)
- 40716: Adding "reference" feature to IIS and Netscape. (rjung)

Have fun,

Rainer
