Changes since 1.99_10:
add a build/win32_fetch_apxs script (called within the top-level Makefile.PL) to offer to fetch and install a Win32 development version of apxs and (apr|apu)-config [Randy Kobes]
rewrite $r->read() and perlio read functions to use the same function, which completely satisfies the read request if possible, on the way getting rid of get_client_block and its supporting functions which have problems and will most likely will be removed from the httpd-API in the future. Directly manipulate bucket brigades instead. [Stas]
Since Apache2.pm pops /foo/Apache2 dirs to the top of @INC, it now also takes care of keeping lib and blib dirs before the system dirs, so that previously installed libraries won't get loaded instead of the currently uninstalled libraries that are under test. [Stas]
When 'make test' fails we now print the info on what to do next [Stas]
At the end of 'make install' we now print the info how to proceed with mod_perl and what to do in the case of post-install problems [Geoff]
Adjust the source to properly work with 5.8.2's new algorithm of dynamic re-hashing of hashes on hash collision attack. [Nicholas Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Stas]. Add a test that mounts such an attack so we can verify that we can survive this rehashing. [Scott A Crosby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Nicholas Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Tels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Mark Jason Dominus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Stas]
Standardize the Apache::PerlSections package name to it's plural form for clarity and so that the pod gets glued in it's proper place. [Philippe M. Chiasson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
return value from Perl callbacks are now passed directly to Apache without additional post-call manipulations (such as assuming HTTP_OK should really be OK). [Geoffrey Young]
perl 5.8.1 w/ ithreads has a bug where it reports the wrong parent pid (as if the process was never forked), provide a local workaround (+ new test). [Rafael Garcia-Suarez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
overriden STD* streams now can be further overriden and will be properly restored, which allows functions like $r->internal_redirect work (+add tests) [Stas]
implement perlio's getarg hook, which now allows dupping STD* streams overloaded by modperl [Stas]
Add PerlMapToStorageHandler [Geoffrey Young]
callbacks are now expected to return a meaningful value (OK, SERVER_ERROR, etc) or return via an official API (exit, die, etc). relying on implicit returns from the last call evaluated by a subroutine may result in server errors. [Stas, Geoffrey Young]
in the MP_MAINTAINER mode add the -Werror compilation flag when perl v5.6.2 or higher is used, so that we don't miss compilation warnings. [Stas]
fix the Makefile.PL option parser to support overriding of certain build options, in addition to appending to them (.e.g. now MP_LIBNAME is overridable) [Andrew Wyllie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
make sure that connection filters won't be inserted as request filters [Stas]
Prevent the 'Use of uninitialized value.' warning when ModPerl::Util::exit is used. [Stas]
To make the test-sute sandbox-friendly, which break when things try to run off /tmp, use t/logs as the location of the mod_cgid socket and TMPDIR env var [Haroon Rafique <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
