Changes for version 1.99_03

  • win32 fix for the global Apache->request object to make sure it uses the thread local storage mechanism
  • add a reference count mechanism to interpreters for use in threaded MPMs, so if APR::Pool cleanups have been registered the interpreter is not putback into the interpreter pool until all cleanups have run.
  • unbuffer STDERR (by turning on autoflush by default)
  • add support for Perl*Handler +Apache::Foo
  • fix open_logs,post_config,child_init hooks to run in the proper order
  • adjust to apr_bucket_type_t changes in 2.0.37-dev

    • added APR::OS::thread_current function
    • added support for 1.x $r->subprocess_env functionality
    • added support for $r->push_handlers(PerlHandler => ...)
    • added support for $r->proxyreq to detect proxy requests
    • $r->content_type($val) now calls ap_set_content_type underneath
    • add the err_header_out() wrapper to Apache::compat + corresponding tests
  • Stas Bekman
    • fix $r->dir_config lookup of values set in the server context
    • added Apache::REDIRECT shortcut constant

    • use Apache::ServerUtil in Apache::compat so Apache->server works in compat mode [Dave Rolsky <autarch@urth.org>]

    • various fixes for win32 to get make test passing
    • moved constuct_{url,server} methods to Apache::URI module
    • implement Apache::URI::parse in Apache::compat
    • give Perl*Handlers precedence over other handlers by using APR_HOOK_FIRST rather than APR_HOOK_LAST
    • workaround bug in 5.6.1 when XSLoader loads DynaLoader, wiping out any dl handles it had been keeping track of.
    • tidy up test to run standalone (without modperl test config)
  • Stas Bekman
    • override T_PTROBJ INPUT typemap to croak if object is not a blessed reference, to prevent possible segv from e.g. Apache::Server->process
