Finally, the first mod_perl 1.28 release candidate #1 has arrived. It
can be downloaded here:
http://www.apache.org/~gozer/mp1/mod_perl-1.27_01-dev-rc1.tar.gz
MD5 : ad64dfdb4f5b056b00d87288ef31bd56
SHA1: 03409c6f44c408acae44a258fe4e59b408c0040f
The summary of what has changed since 1.27 are (from STATUS):
Add Win32 support to Apache::SizeLimit [Matt Phillips
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Mohamed Hendawi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
Change Apache::SizeLimit to not push a cleanup handler if already in
the cleanup handler phase, and adjust docs to show that cleanup
handler is the preferred phase to use [Perrin Harkins
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
Rename Apache::test to Apache::testold because Apache::test on
case-insensitive systems will collide with Apache::Test which
supercedes Apache::test. So if you want to keep on using Apache::test,
either bundle it with your project (putting it under inc/ or t/ so it
won't be installed) or require mod_perl 1.28 and use Apache::testold
instead. Of course the best route is to port your test suite to use
a much better Apache::Test which work with mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0.
[Philippe M. Chiasson, Stas Bekman]
Tweak mod_perl.h to defined _INCLUDE_APACHE_FIRST only after apache
headers were included [Stas Bekman]
avoid various warnings under src/modules/perl/:
- declare bufsiz to be STRLEN in Apache.xs, and add
STRLEN to Apache/typemap
- add I32 typecast in Constants.xs
- avoid use of unregistered local variables for Win32
in mod_perl.c and perl_config.c
- s/I32/U8/ in mod_perl.h, perl_config.c, and perl_util.c
- declare i and http_code to be STRLEN in perl_util.c
[Stas Bekman, Randy Kobes]
don't use $r variable in Apache::PerlRun::compile(), so the script
won't use use inherited $r by mistake [Stas Bekman]
define PERL_DIRECTIVE_HANDLERS so that ModuleConfig.c gets
generated when building on Win32 within Visual Studio
[John Petrakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
enable PERL_SECTIONS for Win32 [Dirk Maetens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
use touch() from ExtUtils::Command, rather than a system touch(),
for the benefit of platforms without touch(). [Randy Kobes
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
can't let the default typemap rule to convert sv into char* in
unescape_url, since it doesn't handle correctly undefs (returns an
unallocated "" string, which then causes a segfault in
ap_unescape_url. use SvPV_force, instead, which does the right
thing. [Stas Bekman]

directives, with threaded perl and PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=0 [Stas
Bekman]

resolved [Gerald Richter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
