Changes for version 1.20
- turn off warnings in Apache::Status::as_HTML symdump code
- Geoffrey Young <younggs@acwilm.com>, Tim Bunce <Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk>
- tweak Apache::RegistryNG so it works with virtual includes, thanks to Vivek Khera for the spot
- modules/eperl,embperl removed from 'make test'
- change Apache::File->tmpfile flags from O_WRONLY to O_RDWR
- Chuck O'Donnell <cao@milf18.bus.net>
- fix Apache::RegistryBB when $r->filename NOT_FOUND
- Frank D. Cringle <fdc@cliwe.ping.de>
- cygwin port [Stipe Tolj <tolj@uni-duesseldorf.de>]
- Documented $r->pnotes [<ask@valueclick.com>]
- Change "setting auth_name" trace message so we don't get it without having enabled a MOD_PERL_TRACE level [Ask Bjoern Hansen <ask@valueclick.com>]
- s/class/pclass/g so we can compile w/ c++
- mod_perl will now save/restore SIGALRM
- fix Apache::Status bug prototype check of 'use constant' subs, thanks to Eric Cholet for the spot
- added set_byterange() and each_byterange() methods
- added proper support for {Location,Directory,Files}Match in <Perl> sections
- new Apache::ExtUtils::pm function to generate Foo.pm/Makefile.PL templates for modules with directive handlers
- Makefile.PL will now do a handful of sanity checks looking for possible broken configurations and offer suggestions for those it finds
- rework PerlFreshRestart to avoid core dump triggered w/ 5.005_03
- fix $Apache::Server::Starting under dso
- use ap_bfileno() instead of r->connnection->client->fd directly
- Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>
- fix Table.xs:table_modify() under win32
- Trung Tran-Duc <trung.tranduc@prague.ixos.cz>
- get rid of odd WRITE message in perlio.pl test if $Config{usesfio}
- John Hughes <john@calva.com>
- fix possible overwrite in perlio.c:sfapacheread() #ifdef USE_SFIO
- John Hughes <john@calva.com>
- dont use DEFAULT_PATH if r->subprocess_env->{PATH} is already set
- Bertrand Demiddelaer <wing_co@hotmail.com>
- ensure perl_setup_env() is called just once per-request
- Salvador Ortiz Garcia <sog@msg.com.mx>
- :common Apache::Constants are compiled at bootstrap time, so CVs are shared and AUTOLOAD is avoided, which was known to cause a spin while loading SERVER_ERROR for particular Perl errors
- <Perl> sections now use 1.3.7-dev's cmd_parms->context to cure many known, old bugs, e.g. @DirectoryIndex outside of %Location, .htaccess and many more [Salvador Ortiz Garcia <sog@msg.com.mx>]
- fix bug where top-level PerlSetEnv's would be lost after 1st request
- fix bug in Apache::ModuleConfig->get [Dave Hayes <dave@jetcafe.org>]
- fix rwrite error message [Eric Cholet <cholet@logilune.com>]
- Change Apache::SizeLimit so that it supports Solaris 2.6 and above
- Brian Moseley <ix@maz.org>
- Fixed apaci/load_modules.pl.PL to properly fixup log_agent and log_referer when loaded as DSOs. [Vivek Khera <vivek@khera.org>]
- Fixed apaci/mod_perl.config.sh to remove the ccdlflags from the PERL_LIBS variable when building under bsd/os 4.x, since that causes errors when passing "cc" oriented flags to "ld". I suspect this should be done for all platforms, as passing cc options to ld just seems wrong to me. Also fixed up Makefile.PL to override Apache's notion of LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT to use Perl's idea of the proper flags when building as a DSO under APACI. [Vivek Khera <vivek@khera.org>]
