Changes for version 2.000_00
- fix global anon_cnt double-initialization bug that was causing startup segfaults on OSX. [Gozer]
- fix the ap_install target in the top-level Makefile (used for static build) [Stas]
- Reintroduce a pure-Perl version of ModPerl::Util::unload_package() The problematic XS version is now called unload_package_xs() and not used by default [Gozer]
- More APR::Status wrappers: [Stas, Randy Kobes]
- is_EOF
- is_ECONNABORTED
- is_ECONNRESET
- is_TIMEUP
- make sure that the build picks up the include directories based on the apxs queries and only search the httpd source if $self->{MP_AP_PREFIX} was set. Earlier it was always picking the headers from the httpd source if it was available, which was resulting in the wrong headers if the installed httpd was different than the source that was found
- Stas
- introduce ModPerl::RegistryPrefork and ModPerl::PerlRunPrefork, which behave the same as ModPerl::Registry and ModPerl::PerlRun, respectively, but chdir to the script's directory like mod_cgi does. These two new handlers will refuse to load under threaded MPMs where chdir can't be used as it will affect all running threads [Stas]
- ModPerl::RegistryCooker::chdir_file_normal() now chdirs to the current script's directory or the specified directory as an argument, as it was planned in first place. Therefore switch ModPerl::Registry and ModPerl::PerlRun to us NOP for this method call. If chdir_file is mapped to chdir_file_normal(), then run() and convert_script_to_compiled_handler() now call chdir to the script's directory and at before returning go back to the server root. [Stas]
- prevent undef warnings in catfile() calls in Apache2::Build when called from the ModPerl-Registry tree [Stas]
- fix modperl_brigade_dump to use apr_file_printf() instead of fprintf(), which doesn't work everywhere [Stas]
- Fix a warning triggered by `ln` on Cygwin, when running perl Makefile.PL for a second time without previously running make clean. [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- When compiling a static mod_perl and MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-apr=/some/path" argument is given, Apache will use the apr-config at the given path, but mod_perl was using the default at "srclib/apr/.libs". Fix that [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- Show MP_APU_CONFIG as an argument to Makefile.PL in the Usage menu. [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- Makefile.PL: fix the pre-rename mp2 install diagnostics code, to use the mp version of 1.999xx and not 1.999_xx, as the latter is unsuitable for numerical comparison, also fix the name of the reported conflicting directory [Stas].
- add APR::Status::is_(EACCES|ENOENT), and use in ModPerl::RegistryCooker to return, as appropriate, Apache2::Const::(FORBIDDEN|NOT_FOUND), based on $@. Also remove a check in modperl_slurp_filename of src/modules/perl/modperl_util.c to enable $@ to be set when opening or reading a file fails. This fixes a bug on Win32, revealed in 404.t and redirect.t of the ModPerl-Registry tests, as reported by Steve Hay and Markus Wichitill [Stas, Randy Kobes]
- link Apache2::* and ModPerl::* to mod_perl.a and DynaLoader.a, but -lmod_perl and -lDynaLoader don't work, and we can't supply the full paths, because MakeMaker doesn't allow this. I workaround this by making a symlink to mod_perl.a (called libmod_perl.a) and copy DynaLoader.a to libDynaLoader.a (I don't create a symlink, because, when running make clean, the real DynaLoader.a may get deleted). The APR::* extensions are not affected, because in both cases we link them against aprext. Also other small fixes are added. [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
Changes for version 1.999_23
- fix Apache2::Build::dynamic_link_MSWin32 to generate a new line after dynamic_link code in Makefile [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- fix a warning in Apache2::Build::build_config() when building with MP_STATIC_EXTS=1 [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- improving DSO support on cygwin. The problem with cygwin is that it behaves like windows (it's a posix layer over windows after all). That's why we need to supply all symbols during linking time just like on win32, by adding -lapr-0 -laprutil-0 and -lhttpd. On windows, Apache supplies all the three libraries and it's easy to link, but on cygwin apache doesn't play nice and doesn't supply libhttpd. This change adds libapr and libaprutil. [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- improve the diagnostics when detecting mp2 < 1.999022, tell the user which files and/or dirs need to be removed [Stas]
- restore the DESTDIR support partially nuked by the apache2 rename branch [Torsten Förtsch <torsten.foertsch gmx.net>]
- add APR::Status to provide functions corresponding to the APR_STATUS_IS_* macros of apr_errno.h, especially those composites like APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN(s) which are satisfied by more than one specific error condition. Presently only APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN is provided [Randy Kobes]
- fix the generation of the manpages for .pm files from sub-projects like ModPerl-Registry (previously was creating manpage files like .::ModPerl::PerlRun.3) [Stas]
- fix the pod2man'ification part of 'make install' (using POD2MAN_EXE instead of POD2MAN Makefile macro) [Stas]
Changes for version 1.999_22
- IMPORTANT ******************** this version of mod_perl is completely incompatible with prior versions of mod_perl, both 1.XX and 1.99_XX. Please read the below changes carefully.
- remove MP_INST_APACHE2 installation option and Apache2.pm - all mod_perl related files will now be installed so they are visible via standard @INC. also, refuse to install over mod_perl 2 versions less than 1.999_22. [Geoffrey Young]
- s/Apache::/Apache2::/g and s/mod_perl/mod_perl2/g in all module APIs. so, Apache::RequestRec is now Apache2::RequestRec, Apache::compat is now Apache2::compat, and so on. [joes]
- move all Apache:: constants to Apache2::Const and all APR:: constants to APR::Const. for example, Apache:OK is now Apache2::Const::OK and APR::SUCCESS is now APR::Const::SUCCESS. [Geoffrey Young]
- add $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION} as something that clearly distinguishes which mod_perl version is being used at request time. [Geoffrey Young]
- rename Apache->request() to Apache2::RequestUtil->request(), and Apache->server() to Apache2::ServerUtil->server()
- Geoffrey Young
- fix Apache2::Status which was bailing out on trying to load modules with dev versions like 2.121_02 [Stas]
- When parsing Makefile.PL MP_* options, handle correctly the MP_FOO=0 entries [Philip M. Gollucci <pgollucci@p6m7g8.com>]
- init the anonsub hash for base perl and each vhost +Parent (previously was init'ed only for the base perl) [Stas]
- fix a bug when a non-threaded perl is used and anonymous sub is pushed at the server startup (the CV wasn't surviving) [Stas]
- Make sure that CPAN shell doesn't triple over usage of $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION [Randy Kobes]
- Apache2::RequestRec->new now sets $r->request_time [Stas]
- remove CGI.pm and Apache::Request dependencies from Apache2::Status since they weren't used at all [Geoffrey Young]
- Fixes for Apache2::Reload's touchfile feature (return Apache2::Const::OK instead of 1) [Chris Warren <chwarren@cisco.com>]
- cygwin fixes: [Nick *** <doink123@abv.bg>]
- doesn't like XS wrapper starting with 'static'
- need to compile everything with -DCYGWIN
- ModPerl::RegistryCooker API change: s/rewrite_shebang/shebang_to_perl/ the new API now returns the string to prepend before the rest of the script, instead of rewriting the content, which is both faster and doesn't mislead the perl debugger [Dominique Quatravaux <dom@idealx.com>]
- Starting from ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.26 went back to pm_to_blib target from pm_to_blib.ts introduced in 6.22, so needed to fix the glue_pod target, so install will work correctly [Stas]
- Syntax errors in <Perl> sections were not correctly caught and reported. [Gozer]
- when building mp2 EU::MM looks into Apache-Test/MANIFEST and complains about the missing Apache-Test/META.yml (which is indeed not included in the modperl package due to the PAUSE problems of dealing with more than one META.yml. Solution: Exclude Apache-Test/MANIFEST from mod_perl distribution package. [Stas]
- ModPerl::Registry no longer checks for -x bit (we don't executed scripts anyway), and thus works on acl-based filesystems. Also replaced the -r check with a proper error handling when the file is read in. [Damon Buckwalter <buckwad@gmail.com>]
- Apache2::RequestUtil::slurp_filename now throws an APR::Error exception object (before it was just croaking). [Stas]
- fix APR::Error's overload of '==' (it was always returning true before), and add the corresponding '!=' [Stas]
- if $r->document_root was modified, restore it at the end of request
- joes
- Apache2::ServerRec method which set the non-integer fields in the server_rec, now copy the value from the perl scalar, so if it changes or goes out of scope the C struct is not affected. Using internal perl variables to preserve the value, since using the server pool to allocate the memory will mean a memory leak [Stas]
- add the escape_url entry in the ModPerl::MethodLookup knowledgebase
- Stas
- Apache2::SubProcess::spawn_proc_prog now can be called in a void context, in which case all the communication std pipes will be closed
- Stas
- fix a bug in $r->document_root, which previously weren't copying the new string away [Stas]
- introduce a new build option MP_AP_DESTDIR to aid package builders direct the Apache-specific files to the right place. [Cory Omand <Cory.Omand@Sun.COM>]
- Fix bug in modperl_package_clear_stash() segfaulting when encountering declared but not yet defined subroutines.
- Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>, Gozer
- win32 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3/PERL_SYS_TERM calls [Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>]
- Fix broken MP_STATIC_EXTS=1 build. [Gozer]
- Perl -Duse64bit fix. Pointers can't just be generically casted from/to IVs. Use PTR2IV/INT2PTR instead. [Gozer]
- Perl -Duse64bit fix. apr_size_t pointers can't just be generically casted from/to UVs. Use PTR2UV/INT2PTR instead. [Gozer]
- fix a bug in Apache2::Build::dir: If the right directory isn't found in the for loop $dir still contains a > value, so the ||= has no effect. [Nick Wellnhofer <wellnhofer@aevum.de>]
Changes for version 1.999_21
- PerlPostConfigRequire was trying to detect missing files early on, but without searching thru @INC, causing false negatives. Better off skipping that check and leave it to modperl_require_file() to report problems with finding the file. [Patrick LeBoutillier <patrick.leboutillier@gmail.com>, Gozer]
- add a perl bug workaround: with USE_ITHREADS perl leaks pthread_key_t on every reload of libperl.{a,so} (it's allocated on the very first perl_alloc() and never freed). This becomes a problem on apache restart: if the OS limit is 1024, 1024 restarts later things will start crashing [Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>, Stas]
- on Irix mod_perl.so needs to see the libperl.so symbols, which requires the -exports option immediately before -lperl. [Gordon Lack <gml4410@ggr.co.uk>]
- pool arguments to startup and connection callbacks must be blessed into APR::Pool and not Apache::Pool class [joes]
- Make PerlSetEnv, PerlPassEnv and %ENV in PerlRequre, PerlModule, PerlConfigRequire and PerlPostConfigRequire affect each other, so a change in one of these is immediately seen in the others. [Pratik <pratiknaik gmail.com>, Stas]
Changes for version 1.999_20
- the autogenerated modules (and some implemented in xs/ modules) are now getting the same version number as $mod_perl::VERSION (the exception are APR modules which get 0.009_000 for now). [Stas]
- until we figure out how to tell PAUSE index about versions of the autogenerated modules, create a fake module which lists all the autogenerated modules and their versions and include that in the distro. [Stas]
- moving to the triplet version notation, which requires us to bump 1.99 => 1.999 so 1.999020 (mp2) > 1.29 (mp1). [Stas] Now we are gong to have: $mod_perl::VERSION : "1.099020" int $mod_perl::VERSION : 1.09902 $mod_perl::VERSION_TRIPLET: 1.99.20
- <Perl> and PerlPostConfigRequires were leaking some memory at startup. Use parms->temp_pool instead of parms->pool for temporary memory allocations. [Gozer]
- deal with a situation where an object is used to construct another object, but it's then auto-DESTROYed by perl rendering the object that used it corrupted. the solution is to make the newly created objects refer to the underlying object via magic attachment. only objects using objects that have DESTROY are effected. This concerns some of the methods accepting the custom APR::Pool object (not native pools like $r->pool). [Stas] Adjusted:
- APR::Brigade: new
- APR::Finfo: stat
- APR::IpSubnet: new
- APR::Table: copy, overlay, make
- APR::ThreadMutex: new
- APR::URI: parse
- Apache::RequestUtil: new
- APR::Pool: new
- APR::BucketAlloc: new
- APR::Bucket::alloc_create moved to APR::BucketAlloc::new APR::Bucket::alloc_destroy moved to APR::BucketAlloc::destroy [Stas]
- prefork handlers optimisation: don't dup the handler struct unless this is a threaded-mpm [Stas]
- speed up the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage [Randy Kobes]:
- reduce the number of calls to build_config() of Apache::Build within ModPerl::BuildMM
- cache the results of the calls to apxs_cflags, apxs_extra_cflags, and apxs_extra_cppflags in Apache::Build
- in apxs of Apache::Build, return a cached result only when defined
- move ModPerl::Util::exit() into mod_perl.so, since it needs to work, even if ModPerl::Util wasn't loaded [Stas]
Changes for version 1.99_19
- $r->hostname is now writable [Gozer]
- Static build with a Perl without ithreads and a non-threaded MPM would segfault on startup. Caused by a bug in perl's perl_shutdown() code. Fixed in Perl 5.8.2, so it's now a build requirement [Gozer]
- replace the added in 1.99_17 code on resetting/restoring PL_tainted, with explicit reset before and after each each callback. This solves a complicated tainting issues caused when perl exception object is thrown. rgs suggested that it should be safe, similar to perl's own pp_nextstate which says: /* Each statement is presumed innocent */
- Stas
- New configuration directives: [Gozer]
- PerlConfigRequire Just like PerlRequire, but _always_ triggers an immediate interpreter startup
- PerlPostConfigRequire A delayed form of PerlRequire, that waits until the post_config phase before require'ing files
- fix a warning in Apache::Status [John Williams <williams tni.com>]
- Ignore Apache-Test/META.yml in distribution tarballs until PAUSE is capable of handling multiple META.yml files in one distro [Gozer]
- modperl_exports.c now wraps all exported functions in a #ifndef function_name wrapper to help in weeding out functions that only make sense for certain Perl configurations (perlio, threads) (which also fixes static build against perlio-disabled perls, like 5.6.x) [Gozer]
- for make test, skip configuring fastcgi if it's found in the global httpd.conf, as it causes crashes in the test suite [Stas]
- fix Makefile.PL arguments parser to support more than one MP_foo option on the same line (including .makepl_args.mod_perl2 file) [Stas]
- fix compilation issues in ModPerl::Util::current_perl_id (on some builds newSVpvf can't be resolved but Perl_newSVpvf works just fine). [Stas, Markus Wichitill <mawic@gmx.de>]
- fix APR::Error::str to return a lexical variable, rather than a string. This function is called by SvTRUE in modperl_errsv() via overload and on win32 (and randomly on linux) causes crashes via: "Attempt to free temp prematurely" warning, where this 'temp' is the string returned by this function. Making it a lexical variable before returning it, resolves the problem. [Steve Hay]
- fix META.yaml s/private/no_index/ (to hide the bundled Apache-Test from PAUSE indexer) [Randy Kobes]
- New configuration directives: [Gozer]
Changes for version 1.99_18
- Fix x86_64 warnings in modperl_restart_count_*, due to casting between integers and pointer types [Joe Orton]
- open_logs and post_config handlers require the Apache::OK return code or the server aborts, so we need to log an error in case the handler didn't fail but returned something different from Apache::OK [Stas]
- new function ModPerl::Util::current_perl_id() which returns something like (.e.g 0x92ac760) (aTHX) under threaded mpm and 0 under non-threaded perl (0x0). Useful for debugging modperl under threaded perls. [Stas]
- make sure that modperl's internal post_config callback, which amongst other things, cloning perl interpreters is running as modperl_hook_post_config_last APR_HOOK_REALLY_LAST, which ensures that user's post_config callbacks are run before the cloning. now the code from config phase's startup.pl can be safely moved to the post_config phase's equivalent. [Stas]
- Further sync with libapr constants changes: [Stas]
- the constants APR::(READ|WRITE|CREATE|APPEND|TRUNCATE|BINARY|EXCL|BUFFERED|DELONCLOSE) now have a prefix APR::FOPEN_ and moved group s/filemode/fopen/
- constants from the fileprot group moved to the fprot group and the prefix has changed: from APR::FILEPROT_ to APR::FPROT_
- this also fixes the import of APR_EXCL as an error constant
- $r->print() and tied print() now return 0E0 (zero but true) when the call was successful but for zero bytes. [Geoffrey Young]
- a new function Apache::ServerUtil::server_shutdown_cleanup_register to register cleanups to be run at server shutdown. [Stas]
- $bb->cleanup is no more segfaulting (was segfaulting due to a broken prototype in APR, and consequently invalid XS glue code) [Randy Kobes, Stas]
- make sure that ABSPERLRUN and ABSPERLRUN are defined in src/modules/perl/Makefile (needed by win32 build) [Stas]
- For static builds, mod_perl header files were being installed into apache's source tree instead of where apache installed it's own headers [Gozer]
- modperl_threads_started() wasn't working under static worker build, due to MP_threads_started static variable not being reset on restart. Now resetting it. [Stas]
- @INC shrinking efforts: [Stas] 1) when adding $ServerRoot don't add the trailing / (as it ends up twice when added by A-T w/o trailing /) 2) add $ServerRoot/lib/perl only if it actually exists
- For static builds, we now run 'make clean' in httpd's source tree before running ./configure if the source tree has been configured before [Gozer]
- Apache::SizeLimit ported [Perrin Harkins <perrin elem.com>]
- create a new subpool modperl_server_user_pool (from modperl_server_pool), which is used internally by Apache::ServerUtil::server_restart_register. This ensures that user-registered cleanups are run *before* perl's internals cleanups are run. (previously there was a problem with non-threaded perls which were segfaulting on user cleanups, since perl was already gone by that time). [Stas]
- Starting from ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.22 it no longer generates pm_to_blib target, but pm_to_blib.ts, so needed to fix the glue_pod target, so install will work correctly [Stas]
- Apache::RequestUtil : $r->child_terminate() implemented for non-threaded MPMs. [Gozer]
- new API Apache::ServerUtil::restart_count() which can be used to tell whether the server is starting/restarting/gracefully restarting/etc. Based on this feature implement $Apache::Server::Starting and $Apache::Server::ReStarting in Apache::compat [Stas]
- Apache::Resource ported to mp2 [Stas]
- If none of MP_APXS, MP_AP_PREFIX and MP_USE_STATIC were specified when configuring Makefile.PL, we now prompt for APXS path first and only if that fails ask for MP_AP_PREFIX. This is a requirement to get 'make test' find httpd. [Stas]
- Dynamically prompt and add MP_INST_APACHE2=1 when installing on systems with mod_perl 1 preinstalled. [Stas]
- fix the logging call in RegistryCooker [Lars Eggert <lars.eggert netlab.nec.de>]
- fix $r->filename in Apache::compat to update the finfo struct (which is how it worked in mp1) [Stas]
- enclose all occurences of eval_* with ENTER;SAVETMPS; ... FREETMPS;LEAVE; previously things just happened to work, due to external scopes which was not very reliable and some change could introduce obsure bugs. [Stas]
- in case a native apache response filter is configured outside the <Location> block with PerlSet*Filter directive, make sure that mod_perl doesn't try to add it as connection filter (previously was logging an error like: [error] a content filter was added without a request: includes) [Stas]
- replace the slow implementation of anon handlers using B::Deparse, with per-interpreter cache of compiled CODE refs (sort of emulating named subroutines for anonymous handlers) [Stas].
- avoid segfaults when a bogus $r object is used [Stas]
- Remove magicness of PerlLoadModule and implement Apache::Module::add() for modules that implement their own configuration directives [Gozer]
- Apache::Connection::remote_ip is now settable (needed to set the remote_ip record based on proxy's X-Forwarded-For header) [Stas]
- Fix Modperl::Util::unload_package() [Gozer]
- Mistakenly skipping small entries of size 2 and less
- Leave entries from other packages alone
- $filter->remove now works with native (non-modperl) filters + test
- Torsten Förtsch <torsten.foertsch gmx.net>
Changes for version 1.99_17
- Implement Apache->unescape_url_info in Apache::compat and drop it from the official API for CGI::Util::unescape() as a suggested replacement [Gozer]
- fix xs_generate to croak on duplicate entries in xs/maps files
- Christian Krause <chkr plauener.de>
- Workaround a possible bug in Perl_load_module() [Gozer]
- Fix a problem building with non-GNU make (can't make target dynamic in xs/APR/aprext) [Gozer]
- escape HTML in dumped variables by Apache::Status [Markus Wichitill <mawic@gmx.de>]
- $r->document_root can now be changed when safe to do so [Gozer]
- APR::Bucket->new now requires an APR::BucketAlloc as its first argument. New subs added: APR::Bucket::setaside, APR::Bucket::alloc_create, APR::Bucket::alloc_destroy, APR::Brigade::bucket_alloc. [joes]
- reimplement APR::Pool life-scope handling, (the previous implementation had problems) [joes]
- make sure that Apache::Filter::read, APR::Socket::recv, Apache::RequestIO::read, APR::Brigade::flatten, and APR::Bucket::read all return tainted data under -T [Stas]
- tag the custom pools created by mod_perl for easier pools debug [Joe Orton]
- fix a bug in non-ithreaded-perl implementation where the cached compiled CODE refs of httpd.conf-inlined one-liner handlers like: PerlFixupHandler 'sub { use Apache::Const qw(DECLINED); DECLINED }' didn't have the reference count right. [Stas]
- per-server PerlSetEnv and PerlPassEnv values are properly added to %ENV when only a per-directory handler is configured.
- Geoffrey Young
- resolve several 'Use of uninitialized value in...' warnings in Apache::Status [Stas].
- make install and static build now correctly installs mod_perl as well as the statically built apache [Gozer]
- if some code changes the current interpreter's tainted state to on, the return value from the handler callback will be tainted, and we fail to deal with that. So revert to coercing any return value, but undef (a special case for exit()). to IV, so that tainted values are handled correctly as well. [Stas]
- make sure that each handler callback starts with a pristine tainted-ness state, so that previous callback calls won't affect the consequent ones. Without this change any handler triggering eval or another function call, that checks TAINT_PROPER, will crash mod_perl with: "Insecure dependency in eval while running setgid. Callback called exit." farewell message [Stas]
- make sure that 'make distclean' cleans all the autogenerated files
- Stas
- $r->log_reason has been ported and moved out of Apache::compat
- Gozer
- APR::OS::thread_current renamed APR::OS::current_thread_id and now returns the actual thread_id instead of an object that needed to be dereferenced to get at the thread_id [Gozer]
- change a bunch of the APR:: constants to have a better prefix (APR::FILETYPE_* and APR::FILEPROT_). libapr will be changed soon too
- Stas
- Generate modperl_exports.c for static builds to prevent the linker from stripping needed but unused symbols [Gozer]
- Add .libs/ as part of the library search path when building against httpd's source tree [Gozer]
- In the static build, run make in httpd's srclib/ early to have generated files present at mod_perl configure time [Gozer]
- When searching for ap(r|u)-config in httpd's source tree, search into srclib/apr-util as well as srclib/apr [Gozer]
- Remove APR::Finfo::pool as it has no use to us [Stas]
- get PerlSetVar and PerlAddVar multi-level merges to (finally) work properly. [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>]
- MP_AP_BUILD configure option removed. Now implicit when MP_USE_STATIC is specified [Gozer]
- Apache::Module $mod->version() and $mod->minor_version() renamed to $mod->ap_api_major_version() and $mod->ap_api_minor_version for clarity [Gozer]
- Apache::Log changes: [Stas]
- moved to compat: Apache::warn, Apache->warn, Apache::Server->warn, Apache::Server::warn
- re-enabled $r->warn
- removed support for Apache::ServerRec->warn (Apache::ServerRec::warn is still there)
- Apache::Directive conftree() changed from class method to regular subroutine [Gozer]
- Apache::Module top_module() and get_config() as class methods added to Apache::compat for backwards compatibility [Gozer]
- Apache::Module top_module() and get_config() changed from class methods to regular subroutines [Gozer]
- Added Apache::CmdParms::add_config() to work around a memory leak discovered with <Perl> sections in .htaccess files [Gozer]
- Added ModPerl::Util::unload_package() to remove a loaded package as thoroughly as possible by clearing it's stash. [Gozer]
- fix Apache->request($r) to be set-able even w/: PerlOptions -GlobalRequest [Stas]
- Add Apache::Reload->unregister_module() to explicitely remove a module from Apache::Reload's monitoring list [Gozer]
- introduce a custom modperl error message for failing filter handlers (previously 'unknown error' coming from rc=500 was logged) [Stas]
- Fix Apache::Log methods/functions to log into the vhost's error_log file (if there is one). ( $s->log->*, $s->log_error, $s->log_serror, Apache::ServerRec::warn, etc.). Apache::ServerRec can now export its warn function to override CORE::warn [Stas]
- Fix $s->log->*, $s->log_error and $s->log_serror to again log into the vhost's error_log file (if there is one). [Stas]
- $s->log->warn and other $s->log->foo are now logging to the right vhost server and not the global one. modperl_sv2server_rec was broken. [Stas]
- Fix a glue_pod make target bug, when .pm file doesn't exist, e.g. ThreadMutex.pm is not created on unless $apr_config->{HAS_THREADS} [Stas]
- Introduce APR::Socket::poll to poll a non-blocking socket [Ken Simpson <ksimpson@larch.mailchannels.com>]
- Fix the error message when the minimal required httpd version is not satisfied [Pratik <pratiknaik@gmail.com>]
- Fix interactive prompting at perl Makefile.PL, when no APXS or MP_AP_PREFIX were provided. now asking for an alternative location if the suggested choices weren't selected. [Stas]
- Added APR::URI->rpath method. Returns the path of an uri minus path_info, if any. [Gozer]
- moved Apache::current_callback() to ModPerl::Util::current_callback where it belongs [Gozer]
- modperl_perl_module_loaded() fixed to use %INC to determine if a module is loaded instead of checking for the existence of a stash [Gozer]
- fix the modperl build, where httpd has been built against separate installations of apr-util and apr, where apr-util has been installed with a different includedir to apr. [Joe Orton]
- $Apache::Server::SaveConfig is now $Apache::PerlSections::Save
- Geoffrey Young
Changes for version 1.99_16
- Fix a compilation problem breaking 1.99_15 (sv_copypv was added in perl 5.7.3) [Jason Woodward <woodwardj@jaos.org>]
- Added $r->content_languages in Apache::RequestRec [Gozer]
- APR::Bucket: add delete() and destroy() methods [Stas]
Changes for version 1.99_15
- replace the memory allocation for modperl filter handlers to use a temporary subpool of the ap_filter_t object. previously using perl's safemalloc had problems on win32 (randomly my_perl == NULL) [Stas]
- Disable Apache::HookRun::run_create_request -- it's already run internally by Apache::RequestRec->new [Stas]
- Update Apache::RequestRec->new() to initialize members of request_rec which were added some time ago (without it we were getting segfaults in the new pseudo_http test. [Stas]
- Apache::CmdParms->limited member replaced by is_method_limited() method [Gozer]
- Apache::Module changes [Gozer]
- readwrite => readonly: cmds, next, name, module_index, minor_version, version
- removed: remove_module
- ensure that a sub-dir Apache-Test exists in the source distro (this is a requirement, since the test suite relies on the particular Apache-Test version distributed with the mod_perl source) [Stas]
- combine handler resolving failure error with the actual error, so there is only one logged entry [Stas]
- pod manpages are now glued to all .pm files for which .pod exists at 'make install' phase [Stas]
- Apache::RequestIO::sendfile() now indicates which file it has failed to open on failure. [Stas]
- fix Apache::SubRequest's methods: lookup_file, lookup_uri, lookup_method_uri to default the last argument to r->proto_output_filters (no request filters for the subrequest) and not r->output_filters->next as it was before (one filter was getting skipped and the rest of the filters were applied *twice*). [Stas]
- Apache::CmdParms changes [Gozer]
- readwrite => readonly: override, limited, directive, pool, temp_pool, server, path, cmd, context, err_directive
- removed: limited_xmethods, xlimited, config_file, err_directive
- Fix a bug in APR::Bucket->new when a passed argument was of type PADTMP [Stas]
- Apache::Connection changes [Stas, "Fred Moyer" <fred /about/ taperfriendlymusic.org>]
- readwrite => readonly:
- pool, base_server, local_addr, remote_addr, remote_ip, remote_host, aborted, local_ip, local_host, id, conn_config, sbh, bucket_alloc
- removed: logname
- Move check_cmd_context from Apache::Command to Apache::CmdParms.
- Gozer
- Add :context group of constants for check_cmd_context(). NOT_IN_VIRTUALHOST, NOT_IN_LIMIT, NOT_IN_DIRECTORY, NOT_IN_LOCATION, NOT_IN_FILES, NOT_IN_DIR_LOC_FILE & GLOBAL_ONLY [Gozer]
- Removed Apache::Command method soak_end_container [Gozer]
- Removed Apache::Module methods (dynamic_load_handle and find_module_name) [Gozer]
- All Apache::Command methods are now read-only [Gozer]
- Removed Apache::Command methods (func and cmd_data) [Gozer]
- Removed Apache::Directive methods (data & walk_config) [Gozer]
- All Apache::Directive methods are now read-only [Gozer]
- Filters should not reset $@ if it was already set before invocation [Gozer]
- Apache::compat server_root_relative now correctly handles absolute paths like ap_server_root_relative does [Gozer]
- Fix a bug in <Perl> sections with multiple aliases in a virtualhost container. [Gozer]
- PerlModule, PerlRequire, Perl and <Perl> is now supported in .htaccess. They will run for each request. [Gozer]
- removed support for httpd 2.0.46. httpd 2.0.47 is now the minimum supported version. [Geoffrey Young]
- Static builds for httpd >= 2.0.51 available. With the new MP_AP_BUILD option, configure and compile an httpd with mod_perl statically linked in [Gozer]
- Apache::RequestRec methods changes [Stas]
- readwrite => readonly:
- connection, canonical_filename, header_only, main, next, prev, pool, per_dir_config, request_config, proto_num, protocol, request_time, server, the_request, unparsed_uri
- removed:
- remaining - this method is not needed if the deprecated $r->client_block methods aren't used, (use $r->read $r->instead) canonical_filename - it's a private member
- The func Apache::SubProcess::spawn_proc_prog is now a method: $r->spawn_proc_prog [Stas]
- Apache::Process methods (pool, pconf and short_name) are now read-only
- Stas
- ($r|$c|$s)->server_root_relative were removed. Now only an explicit and somewhat deprecated function API remains: Apache::ServerUtil::server_root_relative($pool, $path); it's too easy to cause memory leak with this method, and it's inefficient as it duplicates the return value, to avoid potential segfaults if the pool it was allocated from gets destroyed and the value is attempted to be used. Instead of this method use the equivalent: File::Spec->catfile(Apache::ServerUtil::server_root, $fname); [Stas]
- $r->psignature now lives in the package it belongs to: Apache::RequestUtil (previously lived in Apache::ServerUtil). [Stas]
- A few functions moved namespace from Apache:: to Apache::ServerUtil:: (to make it easier to find the container of the function): [Stas]
- exists_config_define
- server_root
- get_server_built
- get_server_version
- fix an old outstanding bug in the APR::Table's TIE interface with each()/values() over tables with multi-values keys. Now the produced order is correct and consistent with keys(). Though, values() works correctly only with perl 5.8.x and higher. [Joe Schaefer]
- require Perl 5.6.1, 5.6.0 isn't supported for a long time, but we weren't aborting at the Makefile.PL stage [Stas]
- Apache::RequestUtil::method_register($s->process->pconf, 'FOO'); is now $s->method_register('FOO'). Apache::RequestUtil::add_version_component($s->process->pconf, 'BAR/0.1'); is now $s->add_version_component('BAR/0.1'). [Stas]
- Remove $Apache::Server::StrictPerlSections. Now, all <Perl> sections errors are fatal by default and cause server startup to abort on error. [Gozer]
- Fix ($r|$filter|$bucket)->read() functions to run the set magic logic, to handle cases when a passed buffer to fill is not a regular scalar. [Stas]
- Apache::ServerRec accessors changes: [Stas]
- readonly accessors:
- process, next, is_virtual, module_config, lookup_defaults and addrs
- readwrite accessors with the exception of threaded mpms, where the accessors are writable only before the child_init phase (i.e. before threads are spawned):
- server_admin, server_hostname, port, error_fname, error_log, loglevel, timeout, keep_alive_timeout, keep_alive_max, keep_alive, names, wild_names, limit_req_line, limit_req_fieldsize, limit_req_fields, and path
- supports a new type of struct accessor, which is just like read/write one, but doesn't allow write access starting at the ChildInit phase under threaded mpm (to avoid thread-safely issues) [Stas]
- In order to be consistent with Apache::RequestRec, Apache::Server is now Apache::ServerRec and all methods/functions from Apache::Server now live in Apache::ServerRec. [Stas]
- Use a context-specific Perl_load_module() instead of load_module(), to avoid the problem with 'load_module' symbol resolution on certain platforms, where for some reason it doesn't get resolved at compile time to Perl_load_module_nocontext [Stas]
- Make it possible to disable mod_perl for the base server, but enable it for the virtual hosts [Stas]
- Removed the deprecated path argument to $r->add_config() [Gozer]
- Created a META.yml for CPAN and friends, including Apache-Test as a private resource to keep CPAN from installing mod_perl when a user just wants Apache::Test [Gozer]
- Moving HTTP specific functions get_status_line, method_register from Apache:: to Apache::RequestUtil:: to match their container [Stas]
- Adjust the list of mod_perl header files installed into the Apache2 include/ directory, made necessary from the renaming and refactoring arising from the decoupling of APR and APR::* from mod_perl.so. Also include modperl_apr_perlio.h under xs/APR/PerlIO/ in the list of such files installed [Stas, Randy Kobes]
- $r->read()/READ now throw exceptions [Stas]
- $r->rflush now returns nothing (was always returning APR::SUCCESS before) [Stas]
- bug reports generating code: [Stas]
- add (apr|apu)-config linking info
- show the full path to the config file used to get the data for the report
- The APR and APR::* family of modules can now be used without having to load mod_perl.so. On *nix, this is done by compiling the needed functions from the appropriate sources used to build mod_perl.so into APR.so, and then arranging for APR::* to 'use APR ()'. On Win32, a static library of needed functions is built, and APR/APR::* then link into this library [Stas, Joe Schaefer, Randy Kobes]
- APR::RequestIO::sendfile() now flushes any buffered output before sending the file contents out. If the return status is not checked and an error happens it'll throw an exception. Fix offset handling. [Stas]
- Registry: remove the misleading prefix "$$: $class:" in the logged error message, since not only registry errors will get logged if $@ is set [Stas]
- change t/REPORT to suggest to post bug reports to the modperl users list, to be consistent with the documentation [Stas]
- amd64 fixes [Joe Schaefer <joe+gmane@sunstarsys.com>]
- use IV insteaf of int where a pointer is used
- mpxs_APR__Bucket_new needs to use apr_size_t/off_set_t types
- APR::Socket::recv() now returns the length of the read data [Stas]
- APR::Bucket's read() returns "" instead of undef when there is no data to read. [Stas]
- fix a bug in Registry handlers, where the same error was logged twice and potentially a wrong error code returned [Stas]
- Apache::RequestIO: print(), printf(), puts(), write(), rflush() throw an exception on failure [Stas]
- Apache::SubRequest: run() throw an exception on failure [Stas]
- Apache::Filter: [Stas]
- remove unneeded methods: remove_input_filter() and remove_output_filter(), fputs()
- frec() accessor is made read-only
- fflush(), get_brigade() and pass_brigade() now throw exceptions if called in the void context
- read, print() and puts() throw an exception on failure
- Apache::FilterRec: [Stas]
- remove the next() accessor since it's not used by Apache at the moment
- name() is made read-only
- APR::URI: [Stas]
- removed accessors o is_initialized() (internal apr_uri flag) o dns_looked_up() and dns_resolved() (they are not used by apache/apr)
- all remaining accessors now accept undef value, which unsets the field
- Extended WrapXS code to support a new type of accessor: char * which accepts undef to set the C pointer to NULL and as such unset the member of the struct. [Stas]
- Exception error messages now include the error id along with the error message (as they did in first place). [Stas]
- $r->finfo now accepts APR::Finfo object as an optional argument. [Stas]
- APR::Finfo [Stas]
- change stat() to return finfo
- make all field accessors readonly
- ARP::password_validate is now ARP::Util::password_validate [Stas]
- APR::IpSubnet::new() now throws APR::Error exception (not returning rc) [Stas]
- rename package APR::NetLib -> APR::IpSubnet to match the class name
- Stas
- APR::BucketType: [Stas]
- name is readonly
- APR::Brigade [Stas]
- destroy() now throws APR::Error exception (not returning rc)
- rename empty => is_empty
- added the method cleanup()
- flatten() now returns the number of bytes read (and passed the buffer by the argument) and throws APR::Error exception
- APR::Bucket: [Stas]
- read() now returns the length of the read data and throws APR::Error exception (not returning rc). The returned scalar is now TAINTED.
- type->name now has a module APR::BucketType
- type(), length(), start(), data() are now all readonly
- new() fix a bug in offset handling
- APR::BucketType: [Stas]
Changes for version 1.99_14
- APR::SockAddr::port() accessor is now read-only [Stas]
- APR::Pool now has destroy() and clear() available [Stas]
- now logging the errors happening in pool cleanup callbacks [Stas]
- use the new Apache-Test attribute -minclient in the test suites. Now along with the default maxclients = minclients+1, we no longer should get 'server reached MaxClients setting' errors. [Stas]
- new API for APR::Socket recv() and send() + updated tests [Stas]
- add infrastructure for new ModPerl::Const constants and the first constant ModPerl::EXIT. [Stas]
- re-implement ModPerl::Util::exit to use exception objects, so it's possible to detect exit called in eval context and call it again outside the eval context. [Stas]
- add the perl interface for the new exception handling code (mod_perl, apache and apr methods will now throw exceptions with $@ being an object). New class APR::Error was added, to handle the exception objects with overload methods. Also added confess and croak equivalents of Carp's methods, since at the moment the Carp's ones don't work as is. The following perl and C methods have been renamed: modperl_apr_strerror => modperl_error_strerror APR::strerror => APR::Error::strerr
- Stas
- set the 'error-notes' table to the error message on HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR [Stas]
- fix the apxs build function to not handle empty lookups as errors
- Randy Kobes, Steve Hay
- fix type casting problems in the io functions [Stas]
- add support for libgtop 2.5.0+ (maintenance mode) [Stas]
- APR::Socket::timeout_set now croaks on failure [Stas]
- significantly speedup the startup of threaded mpm test suite, by configuring only the minimal number of perl interpreters to start
- Stas
- make APR::Socket::opt_(set|get) working (and change the previous behavior) [Stas]
- make sure that our protocol module tests that interact with the socket use a blocking read [Joe Orton]
- Use a better approach to figure out whether we need to strip perl's LargeFilesSource flag, by checking whether libapr was compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 or not. Checking for APR_HAS_LARGE_FILES is useless since it doesn't tell whether 32 vs 64 bits off_t and similar types are used [Joe Orton]
- 'SetHandler perl-script' no longer grabs any newly encountered END blocks, and removes them from PL_endav, but only if they are explicitly registered via ModPerl::Global::special_list_register(END => $package_name) (this is a new function). It's now possible to have a complete control of when END blocks are run from the user space, not only in the registry handlers [Stas]
- END blocks encountered by child processes and not hijacked by ModPerl::Global::special_list_register() are now executed at the server shutdown (previously they weren't executed at all). [Stas]
- Added test to ensure <Perl> sections can have things like %Location tied [Gozer]
- Fix the installation on Win32 so that an appropriate Apache2 subdirectory under the Perl tree is used when MP_INST_APACHE2 is specified [Randy Kobes]
- Fix a redefined warning in Apache::Status [Stas]
- Fix Apache::Status, to lookup the Apache::Request version without loading it. Only if a suitable (2.x) version is found -- load and use it. Previously loading the 1.x version was affecting Apache::compat.
- Stas
- Fix a bug in special blocks handling (like END), which until now was dropping on the floor all blocks but the last one (mainly affecting registry handlers). [Stas]
- The filter streaming API print() function, now correctly handles a binary data [Stas]
- Fix Registry handlers, not to lose the execution errors, when they include END blocks [Stas]
Changes for version 1.99_13
- 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 <bll@gentoo.com>]
- '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]
Changes for version 1.99_12
- Restore a proper behavior of all Registry handlers, but PerlRun, not to reset %INC to forget any .pl files required during the script's execution. [Stas]
- <Perl> are now evaluating code into one distinct namespace per container, similar to ModPerl::Registry scripts. [Philippe M. Chiasson]
- Fix ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile to use the MODPERL_CCOPTS entry from Apache::BuildConfig, as it contains some flags added by mod_perl, which aren't in perl_ccopts and ap_ccopts. [Stas]
- Add the implementation of Apache::Connection::local_addr and Apache::Connection::remote_addr to the Apache::compat overridable functions. [Stas]
- Apache::compat's implementation of APR::URI::unparse, Apache::RequestRec::finfo and Apache::RequestRec::notes is now overridable and not enabled by default. [Stas]
- Apache::compat no longer enables functions which collide with mp2 API by default. It provides two new functions: override_mp2_api and restore_mp2_api to override and restore the original mp2 API. [Stas]
- For Win32, add a .bat extension to candidates for the apxs and apr-config utilities used in Apache::Build, so that the -x file test can potentially succeed [Randy Kobes]
- Plug a memory leak with 'perl-script' not cleaning up the temp vars created during the override of STDIN/STDOUT to use the :Apache IO layer [Stas]
- libgtop config (needed for enabling MOD_PERL_TRACE=m) is now searched using the gnome packaging tools if available (pkg-config for gnome-2.x and gnome-config for gnome-1.x) [Stas]
- Prevent a problem where an autovivified package (stash) prevents from modperl_mgv to load the file with that package (until now it was checking whether the stash existed already and skipped the loading if that was the case). Now checking %INC and attempting to load the module. Reporting the failure only if the module has failed to load and the stash is not defined (so that it's possible to autovivify packages without loading them from an external file). [Stas]
- MaxClients is now overridable from the t/TEST -maxclients command line option (it was hardcoded before). [Stas]
- Postpone the allocation of the wbucket in filters till the moment it's needed (if at all). Since non-streaming filters aren't going to use that buffer, it's a waste to allocate/free it. [Stas]
- Extend the autogenerated bug report to include information about installed modules of special interest (which may aid in understanding the bug report), such as CGI.pm, Apache::Request, LWP, etc. [Stas]
- As the test suite keeps on growing, it takes longer time to startup. Change the main test suite timeout to 180 secs for threaded mpms and 120 secs for non-threaded ones. [Stas]
- use plain malloc/free to allocate filter structs, since they could be invoked hundreds of times during a single request, causing huge memory demands if the memory is allocated from the pool, which gets destroyed only at the end of a request. [Stas]
- Fix a compilation error in APX.xs when MP_HAVE_APR_LIBS is not defined
- Fred Moyer <fred@taperfriendlymusic.org>
- fix a memory leak when $filter->ctx is used [Stas]
- fix buglet on Win32 (and potentially other non-Unix platforms) where not all files were being installed under a relative Apache2 subdirectory when MP_INST_APACHE2 was specified [Randy Kobes].
- deprecated APR::SockAddr::port_get()/APR::SockAddr::port_set() replaced with direct access to the port record via APR::SockAddr::port(). [Geoffrey Young, Stas]
- deprecated APR::URI::default_port_for_scheme() replaced with APR::URI::port_of_scheme() [Geoffrey Young]
- deprecated APR::SockAddr::ip_set() and APR::NO_TIMEOUT removed.
- Geoffrey Young
- Apache::MPM->is_threaded() replaces Apache::MPM_IS_THREADED
- Geoffrey Young
- fix "PerlSetVar Foo 0" so that $r->dir_config('Foo') returns 0, not undef
- Geoffrey Young
- add Apache::MPM class, along with show() and query() class methods
- Geoffrey Young
- add :mpmq import tag to Apache::Const [Geoffrey Young]
- Fix ModPerl::Registry handlers family to modify $0 only for the duration of the handler, by localizing it [Stas]
- Fix :Apache perlio's STDOUT to be reentrant + modules/include_subreq test [Stas]
- fix slurp_filename to always open the file and not try to guess whether filename has been already opened, as there is no reliable way to accomplish that [Stas]
- Apache->can_stack_handlers is now in Apache::compat (mp2 always can stack handlers) [Stas]
- add access to $r->finfo() and related APR::Finfo methods, such as $r->finfo->size(), $r->finfo->mtime(), and $r->finfo->stat() [Geoffrey Young]
- add :filetype import tag to APR::Const [Geoffrey Young]
- <Perl> sections now properly set $0 to the name of the configuration file they are in. [Philippe M. Chiasson]
- Apache::Status: provide a workaround for Config::myconfig() which fails under threads with (5.8.0 < perl < 5.8.3) [Elizabeth Mattijsen <liz@dijkmat.nl>]
- Fix Apache::Status::handler to return 'Apache::OK' [Juanma Barranquero <lektu@terra.es>]
- <Perl> sections now properly set filename and line number information, making error messages report the correct location. [Philippe M. Chiasson]
Changes for version 1.99_11
- 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
- Geoffrey Young
- 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 <nick@ccl4.org>, Stas]. Add a test that mounts such an attack so we can verify that we can survive this rehashing. [Scott A Crosby <scrosby@cs.rice.edu>, Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org>, Tels <perl_dummy@bloodgate.com>, Mark Jason Dominus <mjd@plover.com>, 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 <gozer@cpan.org>
- 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 <rgarciasuarez@free.fr>]
- overridden STD* streams now can be further overridden and will be properly restored, which allows functions like $r->internal_redirect work (+add tests) [Stas]
- implement perlio's getarg hook, which now allows duping 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
