Changes since 1.99_12:
respect $ENV{APACHE_TEST_STARTUP_TIMEOUT} settings if any [Stas]
Added tests for issuing subrequests from filters [Geoffrey Young]
Updated to the new Apache License Version 2.0 [Gozer]
Drop the support for making GATEWAY_INTERFACE special. It's not needed
as $ENV{MOD_PERL}, available in both mod_perl generations, should be
used to test whether the code is running under mod_perl. [Stas]Handle correctly the situation when response HTTP headers are printed from the handler and the response body starts with \000, which is the case with some images like .ico. [Stas]
Apache::PerlSections->dump() and store(filename) [Gozer]
expose $c->keepalive related constants and $c->keepalives counter [Stas]
Perl handlers are now guaranteed to run before core C handlers for all request phases. [Geoffrey Young]
Fix the STDIN/OUT overriding process to handle gracefully cases, when either or both are closed/bogus (the problem was only with useperlio enabled perl) [Stas]
copy apr_table_compress logic from later httpd versions in case mod_perl is built against 2.0.46, as mod_perl now requires it internally. users should be aware that 2.0.47 may become the oldest supported httpd version in the near future. [Geoffrey Young]
Fix the corruption of the httpd process argv[0], caused by $0 manipulating [Stas]
ModPerl::MethodLookup::lookup_method now handles sub-classed objects [Stas]
standard %ENV population with CGI variables and contents of the subprocess_env table (such as SetEnv and PassEnv) has been delayed until the last possible moment before content-generation runs. PerlSetEnv and PerlPassEnv are each an exception to this and are placed in both %ENV and the subprocess_env table immediately, regardless of the current [+-]SetupEnv setting. [Geoffrey Young]
fix PerlAddVar configuration merging [Geoffrey Young]
Anonymous subs are now supported in push_handlers, set_handlers, add_input_filter, etc. A fast cached cv is used with non-ithreaded perl. A slower deparse/eval approach (via B::Deparse) is used with ithreads enabled perls. Further optimizations are planned for the latter case. [Stas]
ht_time w/o the pool is now available only via override/restore compat API. format_time, has been renamed back to ht_time, and the default values for fmt, time and gmt are now supported. [Stas]
it's now possible to push new handlers into the same phase that is running at the moment [Stas].
when $r->handler($new_handler) is called from a response phase, it now checks that the response handler type is not switched (e.g. from 'modperl' to 'perl-script') from the currently used one [Stas]
Since Apache::SubProcess is now part of the mp2 API, add $r->cleanup_for_exec as a noop in Apache::compat. That function is no longer needed in Apache2. [Stas]
When 'perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/foo/bar' is used and mod_perl 1 is found, but at different prefix no longer require MP_INST_APACHE2=1. [Stas]
modperl_mgv_resolve now croaks when a module scheduled for autoloading fails to load. AutoLoaded modules shouldn't silently fail. [Stas]
Perl(Input|Output)FilterHandler handlers are now always AutoLoaded, as if '+' prefix was used. This must be performed to get the access to filter attributes long before the filter itself is executed. [Stas]
APR/Pool.xs has been reimplemented. The problem with the previous implementation is that a dead perl pool object could hijack a newly created pool, which didn't belong to that object, but which happened to be allocated at the same memory location. The problem is that apr_pool_user_data_set/get has no mechanism to check whether the pool has changed since it was last assigned to (it does but only in the debug mode). It really needs some signature mechanism which can be verified that the pool is still the same pool. Since apr_pool doesn't have this feature, the reference counting has been reimplemented using a plain sv reference. Several new (mainly hijacking) tests which badly fail with the previous impelementation have been added. [Stas]
fix calling $r->subprocess_env() in a void context so that it only populates %ENV if also called with no arguments. also, make sure it can be called more than once and still populate %ENV. [Geoffrey Young]
add APR::Brigade::pool() to allow access to the pool associated with the brigade [Geoffrey Young]
make 't/TEST -startup_timeout secs' working (previously user's value was ignored) [Stas]
ModPerl::Registry and friends now support non-parsed headers scripts, whose filename =~ /^nph-/, identically to mod_cgi. + test [Stas]
implement APR::Brigade::length() and APR::Brigade::flatten() (the latter implements a wrapper for apr_brigade_flatten, but also includes an emulation of apr_brigade_pflatten) as [Geoffrey Young]
($r|$s)->add_config() now die if failed (previously returned the error) [Stas]
fix context problems in <perl> sections and PerlModule/PerlLoadModule/PerlRequre under threaded mpms w/ PerlOptions +Parent/+Clone in Vhosts + TestVhost::config test. [Stas]
Implemented Apache::get_server_version and Apache::get_server_built as constant subroutines [Geoffrey Young]
Moved some functions out of the Apache:: namespace: Apache::unescape_url() is now Apache::URI::unescape_url() Apache::log_pid() is now Apache::Log::log_pid() Apache::LOG_MARK() is now Apache::Log::LOG_MARK() [Geoffrey Young]
if MP_AP_PREFIX is used apxs and apr-config from the apache build tree won't work, so it can't co-exist with MP_APXS and MP_APR_CONFIG build options - ensure that this doesn't happen. [Stas]
server_root_relative() now requires either a valid pool or an $r, $s, or $c object as a first argument. also, the returned result is a copy, protecting against cases where the pool would go out of scope before the result. [Geoffrey Young]
Check the success of sysopen in tmpfile() in compat [Geoffrey Young]
make sure DynaLoader is loaded before XSLoader, not only with perl 5.6.1, but always because of the issues with <Perl> sections are loaded from +Parent vhost [Stas]
added ($r|$s)->is_perl_option_enabled($option_name), to test for PerlOptions + tests [Stas]
On Solaris add a workaround for xs/APR/APR/Makefile.PL to build APR.so, correctly linked against apr and apr-util libs, by addding the missing -R paths corresponding to -L flags. EU::MM was adding them via LD_RUN_PATH instead of using -R, but since perl's lddflags may have -R it overrides LD_RUN_PATH. So explicitly add anything that may go into LD_RUN_PATH via -R. Also make sure that -R coming from Apache will appear first. [Brad Lanam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
'make dist' now generates and picks Apache-Test/META.yml which was always reported missing, as it was included in Apache-Test/MANIFEST [Stas]
fix the $r->read function to return undef on failure similar to the core perl function and make $! available for those who test for read() failures. [Stas]
Make sure that pnotes are destroyed after PerlCleanup handlers are finished and not before + test. [Stas]
