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]
  • Apache::Module remove_loaded_module re-added [Gozer]
  • 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_loaded_module, 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

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

Changes for version 1.99_10

  • added Apache::CRLF, Apache::CR, and Apache::LF to Apache::Const's :platform group [Geoffrey Young]
  • make sure that the custom pools are destroyed only once and only when all references went out of scope [Stas]
  • ($r|$c)->add_(input|output)_filter(\&handler) now verify that the filter of the right kind is passed and will refuse to add a request filter as a connection filter and vice versa. The request filter handler is not required to have the FilterRequestHandler attribute as long as it doesn't have any other attributes. The connection filter handler is required to have the FilterConnectionHandler attribute. [Stas]
  • fix tracing with (PerlTrace/MOD_PERL_TRACE) on win32 (the error_log filehandle was invalid after the open_logs phase) [Stas]
  • fix a bug where %ENV vars set via subprocess_env persist across requests. (e.g. a Cookie incoming header which ends up in $ENV{HTTP_COOKIE} would persist to the next request which has no Cookie header at all). Now we unset all the %ENV vars set from subprocess_env. Improve and extend the tests to cover this bug. [Stas]
  • it is invalid to return HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR or any other HTTP response code from modperl_wbucket_pass, therefore set the error code into r->status and return APR_SUCCESS. Until now response handler with messed up response headers, were causing no response what so ever to the client. LWP was assuming 500, and it was all fine, testing without LWP has immediately revealed that there was a problem in the handling of this case. [Stas]
  • put the end to the 'Not a CODE reference' errors, instead provide an intelligent error message, hopefully telling which function can't be found. at the same time improve the tracing to include the pid/tid of the server that has encountered this problem, to make it easier to debug. [Stas]
  • mod_perl handler must be duped for any mpm which runs within USE_ITHREAD. Until now there was a big problem with prefork mpm if any of its vhosts was using PerlOptions +(Parent|Clone) and happened to load handlers before the main server. When that was happening the main server will see that the handler was resolved (since it sees the handler struct from the vhost that loaded this module, instead of its own), which in fact it wasn't, causing the failure to run the handler with the infamous 'Not a CODE reference' error. [Stas]
  • Make sure that the static mod_perl library is built after the dynamic (a requirement on win32) [Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>]
  • Apache::Status now generates HTML 4.01 Strict (and in many cases, also ISO-HTML) compliant output. Also add a simple CSS to make the reports look nicer. [Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>]
  • APR::Pool::DESTROY implemented and tweaked to only destroy pools created via APR::Pool->new() [Geoffrey Young]
  • $r->slurp_filename is now implemented in C. [Stas]
  • remove support for httpd 2.0.45/apr 0.9.3 and lower. httpd 2.0.46 is now the minimum supported version.
  • Geoffrey Young
    • APR::PerlIO now accepts the pool object instead of a request/server objects, so it can be used anywhere, including outside mod_perl [Stas]
    • when perl is built with perlio enabled (5.8+) the new PerlIO Apache layer is used, so now one can push layers onto STDIN, STDOUT handles e.g. binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8'); [Stas]
    • add ap_table_compress() to APR::Table [Geoffrey Young]
    • alter stacked handler interface so that mod_perl follows Apache as closely as possible with respect to VOID/RUN_FIRST/RUN_ALL handler types. now, for phases where OK ends the Apache call list (RUN_FIRST handlers, such as the PerlTransHandler), mod_perl follows suit and leaves some handlers uncalled.
  • Geoffrey Young
    • Apache::Build now tries to use the new APR_BINDIR query string to find the location of apr-config. [Stas]
    • new package Apache::porting to make it easier to port mp1 code to mp2
  • Stas
    • new Apache::Build methods: mpm_name(), mpm_is_threaded(). use them in the top-level Makefile.PL to require 5.8.0/ithreads if mpm requires threads. [Stas]
    • add the missing XS methods to ModPerl::MethodLookup, add support for mp1 methods that are no longer in the mod_perl 2.0 API. [Stas]
    • mod_perl now refuses to build against threaded mpms (non-prefork) unless perl 5.8+ w/ithreads is used [Stas]
    • don't try to read PERL_HASH_SEED env var, where apr_env_get is not available (apr < 0.9.3) [Stas]
    • APR.so now can be loaded and used outside mod_perl (all the way back to httpd 2.0.36) [Stas]
    • perl 5.8.1 randomizes the hash seed, because we precalculate the hash values of mgv elements the hash seed has to be the same across all perl interpreters. So mod_perl now intercepts cases where perl would have randomize it, do the seed randomization by itself and tell perl to use that value. [Stas]
    • fix APR::PerlIO layer to pop itself if open() has failed. [Stas]
    • move the definition of DEFINE='-DMP_HAVE_APR_LIBS' to the top level Makefile.PL, since it overrides MY::pasthru target which makes it impossible to define local DEFINE in subdirs. [Stas]
    • make APR perl functions work outside mod_perl: several libraries weren't linked. Also LIBS needs to receive all libs in one string. [Stas]
    • Apache::compat: $r->cgi_env, $r->cgi_var are now aliases to $r->subprocess_env [Stas]
    • For Win32, generate .pdb files for debugging when built with MP_DEBUG. These will get installed into the same directory as the associated dll/so libs. As well, install mod_perl.lib into MP_AP_PREFIX/lib/ for use by 3rd party modules [Randy Kobes].
    • Apache2.pm is now autogenerated and will adjust @INC to include Apache2/ subdirs only if built with MP_INST_APACHE2=1 [Stas]
    • Change the default value for the argument 'readbytes' for ap_get_brigade(), from 0 to 8192. other than being useless, 0 always triggers an assert in httpd internal filters and 8192 is a good default. [Stas]
    • Fix DynaLoader breakage when using DL_GLOBAL on OpenBSD
  • Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>
    • renamed the private modperl_module_config_get_obj function to modperl_module_config_create_obj, since the logic creates the object but doesn't dig it out if it already exists. then, moved logic from mpxs_Apache__Module_get_config into a new public C function that reused the old name, modperl_module_config_get_obj. while Apache::Module->get_config exists as a wrapper to return the object to Perl space, now C/XS folks can also access the object directly with the public function.
  • Geoffrey Young
    • Apache::Reload: add a new config variable: ReloadConstantRedefineWarnings to optionally shut off the constant sub redefine warnings [Stas]
    • implement $parms->info. directive handlers should now be complete.
  • Geoffrey Young
    • MP_GTOP now works with modern GCC
  • Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org
    • add missing dependencies to Apache::PerlSections
  • Geoffrey Young
    • $r->get_client_block is bogus in httpd-2.0.45 (and ealier), as it can't handle EOS buckets arriving in the same bucket brigade with data. so rewrite ModPerl::Test::read_post to use an explicit read through all bucket brigades till it sees eos and then it stops. The code is longer but it works correctly. [Stas]
    • an attempt to resolve the binary compatibility problem in PerlIOAPR_seek API when APR_HAS_LARGE_FILES=0 [Stas]
    • perl 5.8.0 forgets to export PerlIOBase_noop_fail, causing problems on win32 and aix. reimplement this function locally to solve the problem. APR::PerlIO should now be useful on win32 and aix [Stas]
    • implement DECLINE_CMD and DIR_MAGIC_TYPE constants
  • Geoffrey Young
    • allow init filter handlers to call other methods than just $f->ctx [Stas]
    • Fix Apache::Reload to gracefully handle the case with empty Touchfiles
  • Dmitri Tikhonov <dmitri@netilla.com>
    • PerlRequire entried should be executed before PerlModule entries in VirtualHost containers, just like in the base server [Stas]

Changes for version 1.99_09

  • $filter->seen_eos() now accepts 1/0 to set/unset the flag so streaming filters can control the sending of EOS. [Stas]
  • support systems where apr header files are installed separately from httpd header files ["Andres Salomon" <dilinger@voxel.net>]
  • implement init filter handlers + tests [Stas]
  • improving ModPerl::MethodLookup to:
  • handle more aliased perl XS functions
  • sort the methods map struct so one can use the autogenerated map as is
  • add lookup_module, tells which methods are defined by a given module
  • add lookup_object, tells which methods can be called on a given object
  • provide autoexported wrappers print_method, print_module and print_object for easy deployment from the command line
  • Stas
    • add Perl glue for functions: APR::Socket::timeout_get APR::Socket::timeout_set [Stas]
    • similar to SetEnv, upcase the env keys for PassEnv on platforms with caseless env (e.g. win32) [steve.sparling@ps.ge.com]
    • Add a backcompat wrapper for $r->notes (mp2 supports only the APR::Table API) [Stas]
    • Add a script mp2bug and a target 'make bugreport', so people can use bugreporting during the build and after modperl is installed. [Stas]
    • Add a script mp2doc as a replacement for perldoc (due to 2.0 modules living under Apache2, which won't be looked at by perldoc). [Stas]
    • Add a constant APR::PerlIO::PERLIO_LAYERS_ARE_ENABLED and use it in tests [Stas]
    • Require perl 5.8 or higher when building mod_perl on OSes requiring ithreads (e.g., win32), since 5.6.x ithreads aren't good. [Stas]
    • MP_COMPAT_1X=0 now can be passed to Makefile.PL to disable mp1-back-compat compile-time features + adjust tests. [Stas]
    • <SERVER_ROOT> and <SERVER_ROOT>/lib/perl are now added to @INC, just like mod_perl 1.0 with MP_COMPAT_1X=1 (currently enabled by default). [Stas]
    • The Perl-5.8.0 crypt() workaround is now used only if 5.8.0 is used, since 5.8.1-tobe/5.9.0-tobe(blead-perl) won't compile with it. [Geoffrey Young]
    • new directives PerlSetInputFilter and PerlSetOutputFilter, which are the same as SetInputFilter and SetOutputFilter respectively, but allow to insert non-mod_perl filters before, between or after mod_perl filters. + tests [Stas]
    • improved filters debug tracing [Stas]
    • implement $filter->remove (filter self-removal) + tests [Stas]
    • remove the second-guessing code that was trying to guess the package name to load from the handler configuration (by stripping ::string and trying to load the package). fall back to using explicit PerlModule to load modules whose handler sub name is not called 'handler' + adjust tests. [Stas]
    • set the magic taint flags before modules are required [Stas]
    • make sure to set base server's mip before any of the PerlRequire/PerlModule directives are called, since they may add add_config(), which in turn runs Perl sections or PerlLoadModule, which may need the scfg->mip to be set. [Stas]
    • ModPerl::MM is now ready to be used in Makefile.PL of 3rd party mod_perl modules [Stas and Geoff]
    • fix a segfault caused by PerlModule in $s->add_config, due to setting the MP_init_done flag before init was done + add test [Stas]
    • adjust the generated Makefile's to properly build on aix (tested on powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0) [Stas]
    • the build now automatically glues the .pod files to the respective .pm files, so one can use perldoc on .pm files to read the documentation. [Stas]
    • provide a workaround for ExtUtils::MakeMaker::mv_all_methods, so ModPerl::BuildMM and ModPerl::MM can override EU::MM methods behind the scenes. [Stas]
    • adding ModPerl::BuildMM, which is now used for building mod_perl. ModPerl::MM will be used for 3rd party modules. ModPerl::BuildMM reuses ModPerl::MM where possible. [Stas]
    • drop the glue code for apr_generate_random_bytes, since it's not available on all platforms. [Stas]
    • Since non-threaded mpms don't use tipools in mips, don't create and destroy them. [Stas]
    • re-use the workaround for glibc/Perl-5.8.0 crypt() bug for the main/vhost base perl interpreters as well. This solves the problem for the buggy glibc on RH8.0. [Stas]
    • send_cgi_header now turns the header parsing off and can send any data attached after the response headers as a response body. [Stas]
    • move the check that print/printf/puts/write/etc are called in the response phase into the functions themselves so 1) we can print a more useful error message 2) this check is not always needed in modperl_wbucket_write, when called internally, so we save some cycles.
  • Stas
    • add checks that print/printf/puts/write/etc are called in the response phase. move the check into the functions themselves so we can print a more useful error message [Stas]
    • 'make install' now installs mod_perl*h files under httpd's include tree [Stas]
    • When PerlOptions +ParseHeaders is an effect, the CGI headers parsing won't be done if any *mod_perl* handler before and including the response phase, sets $r->content_type. (similar behavior to mp1's send_http_header() [Stas]
    • Registry: make sure that $r is not in the scope when the script is compiled [Stas]
    • $Apache::Server::SaveConfig added. When set to a true value, will not clear the content of Apache::ReadConfig:: once <Perl > sections are processed. [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org]
    • Apache::compat: support 1.0's Apache->push_handlers, Apache->set_handlers and Apache->get_handlers [Stas]
    • revamp the code handling output flushing and flush bucket sending. Namelly modperl_wbucket_flush and modperl_wbucket_pass now can be told to send a flush bucket by themselves, attaching it to the data bb they are already sending. This halfs the number of output filter invocations when the response handler flushes output via $| or rflush. adjust tests, which were counting the number of invocations.
  • Stas
    • move ModPerl::RegistryCooker to use a hash as object (similar to mp1), to make it easier to subclass. [Nathan Byrd <nathan@byrd.net>]
    • $r->rflush has to flush internal modperl buffer before calling ap_rflush, so implement rflush, instead of autogenerating the xs code for it. [Stas]
    • fix the input filters handling of DECLINED handlers (consume the data, on behalf of the handler) + tests [Stas]
    • fix the code that autogenerates modperl_largefiles.h not to define macros matching m/^-/ (was a problem on aix-4.3.3) [Stas]
    • $Apache::Server::StrictPerlSections added. When set to a true value, will abort server startup if there are syntax errors in <Perl > sections [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org]
    • Use Win32::GetShortPathName for Win32 to handle cases when the supplied MP_AP_PREFIX contains spaces. [Randy Kobes]
    • Bump up ThreadsPerChild for mpm_winnt in httpd.conf, which seems to help avoid server startup problems when running the tests.
  • Randy Kobes
    • implement a new helper module ModPerl::MethodLookup to help figure out which module should be loaded when a certain method is reported to be missing. [Stas]
    • fix a bug for apr < 0.9.3, where it segfaults in apr_uri_unparse, if hostname is set, but not the scheme. In case the hostname is defined but scheme is not Apache::compat will default to the 'http' scheme, whereas APR::URI::unparse provides no default [Stas]
    • move $r->send_http_header implementation to Apache::compat. This allows the 1.0 code to run unmodified if $r->send_http_header is called before the response change. we already handle the check whether content_type was set, when deciding whether the headers are to be parsed inside modperl_wbucket_pass(). [Stas]
    • fixes to Apache::compat. make $r->connection->auth_type interface with r->ap_auth_type. make both $r->connection->auth_type and $r->connection->user writable. [Geoffrey Young]
    • Open up r->ap_auth_type, making it possible to write custom authen handlers that don't rely on Basic authentication or it's associated ap_* functions.
  • Geoffrey Young
    • add Apache::Bundle2 [Stas]
    • Apache::Reload now supports the PerlPreConnectionHandler invocation mode, so connection filter and protocol modules can be automatically reloaded on change. [Stas]
    • implement Apache::current_callback + $r->current_callback goes into Apache::compat, since now we have a way too many callbacks unrelated to $r [Stas]
    • Add Apache::compat methods: $r->connection->auth_type and $r->connection->user (requires 'PerlOptions +GlobalRequest') + tests
  • Stas
    • Several issues resolved with parsing headers, including making work the handlers calling $r->content_type() and not sending raw headers, when the headers scanning is turned on. Lots of tests added to exercise different situations. [Stas]
    • warn on using -T in ModPerl::Registry scripts when mod_perl is not running with -T [Stas]
    • perl 5.7.3+ has a built-in ${^TAINT} to test whether it's running under -(T|t). Backport ${^TAINT} for mod_perl running under 5.6.0-5.7.3, (what used to be $Apache::__T. $Apache::__T is available too, but deprecated. [Stas]
    • add PerlChildExitHandler implementation [Stas]
    • add PerlCleanupHandler implementation + test [Stas]
    • die when Apache->request returns nothing ('PerlOptions -GlobalRequest' or 'SetHandler modperl') [Stas]
    • New Apache::Directive methods: as_hash(), lookup() + tests + docs
  • Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>
    • Stacked handlers chain execution is now aborted when a handler returns something other than OK or DECLINED [Stas]
    • make $filter->read() in input streaming filters, use the same number of arguments as read() in the output filters. [Stas]
    • Implement $r->add_input_filter and $r->add_output_filter $c->add_input_filter and $c->add_output_filter and add tests [Stas]
    • Skip the handler package::func resolving error, only when the error message matches "Can't locate .*? in @INC", rather than just "Can't locate", since there are many other errors that start with that string. [Stas]
    • the top level 'make test' now descends into the ModPerl-Registry dir to run 'make test' there [Stas]
    • All response functions are now returning status and the callers check and croak on failure or progate them further. [Stas]
    • OPEN, CLOSE and FILENO implementation for Apache::RequestRec [Stas]
    • Another fix for the handling of the return status in ModPerl::RegistryCooker: reset the status to the original one only if it was changed by the script, otherwise return the execution status
  • Stas
    • prevent segfault in $r->print / $filter->print (in output filter) and related functions when they are called before the response phase
  • Stas
    • prevent segfault in send_http_header when it's called before the response phase [Stas]
    • input stream filtering support was added + tests (plus renaming filter tests so we can know from the test name what kind of filter is tested)
  • Stas
    • Add proper support for mis-behaved feeding filters that send more than one EOS bucket in streaming filters + test. [Stas]
    • prevent a segfault when push_handlers are used to push a handler into the currently phase and switching the handler (perl-script/modperl) + tests [Stas]
    • Add $filter->seen_eos to the streaming filter api to know when eos has been seen, so special signatures can be passed and any data stored in the context flushed + tests. [Stas]
    • Add $filter->ctx to maintain state between filter invocation + tests
  • Stas
    • Request input and output filters are now getting the EOS bucket, which wasn't passed through before. Now the context can be flushed on EOS. [Stas]

Changes for version 1.99_08

  • Correct ModPerl::RegistryCooker to reset %INC, after compile for .pl files which don't declare the package + add tests to check that [Stas]

    • Strongly suggest win32 users to upgrade to 5.8.0, if they run 5.6.x
  • Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>
    • When installing the mod_perl shared object, first need to check whether the directory 'modules' already exists, and create it if not.
  • Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>
    • Add a capability to tune the test configuration sections ordering in Apache::TestConfigPerl [Stas Bekman]
    • fix the complaining code about late PerlSwitches when PerlLoadModule is used before it [Stas Bekman]
    • add various tests that exercise PerlLoadModule and vhosts
  • Stas Bekman
    • handle correctly PerlLoadModules (directives) with vhosts:
      • handle gracefully cases when things are undef/NULL
      • handle the case when scfg==NULL, by stealing the base_servers's config
  • Stas Bekman
    • make mod_perl work with vhosts when the server is started prior to post_config():
      • call modperl_init_globals as early as possible, because the main server record is needed during the configuration parsing, for perlloadmodule and vhosts
      • also make sure that we are using a real base_server, when dealing with modperl_init, and if not retrieve it from the global record
  • Stas Bekman
    • prevent segfaults, when scfg is NULL in Apache::Module->get_config();
  • Stas Bekman
    • ensure that a core file is a file indeed, before complaining [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]
    • add $r->as_string [Geoffrey Young]
    • add backcompat vars: $Apache::Server::CWD and $Apache::Server::AddPerlVersion [Stas Bekman]
    • env var MOD_PERL_TRACE is working again [Stas Bekman]
    • add a new test TestDirective::perlloadmodule2, which performs a more evolved merging. [Stas Bekman]

    • add an Apache::SIG backcompat stub to Apache::compat [Stas Bekman]
    • fix the Apache::TestConfigPerl's run_apache_test_config() function where test packages are scanned for the magic APACHE_TEST_CONFIGURE and if found get require()'d. Apache2 needs to be run for mod_perl

  • core Registry packages all compile the scripts into ModPerl::RegistryROOT:: namespace and cache them in %ModPerl::RegistryCache. Both overridable by the sub-classes. [Stas Bekman]
  • compat tests were split into groups by functionality, send_fd test moved to compat. [Stas Bekman]
  • added $c->get_remote_host and a compat wrapper $r->get_remote_host + tests [Stas Bekman]
  • adjust the build system to support mod_perl build from the source tree. [Stas Bekman]
  • ModPerl::RegistryCooker syncs with mod_perl 1.0's registry:
    • prototypes defined checks in flush_namespace
      • Yair Lenga <yair.lenga@citigroup.com>
    • set error-notes on error [Geoffrey Young]
    • preserve status in Registry scripts [Geoffrey Young]
  • apr_table_t is now an opaque type, use apr_table_elts() to get the array record [Stas Bekman]
  • add support for redirects with PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
  • backport to 2.0.35
  • adjust to filter register api change
  • added APR::ThreadMutex module

Changes for version 1.99_04

  • various APR PerlIO updates [Stas Bekman]
  • stop using an apr_pool_t to allocate items for the interpreter pool, safer for threaded MPMs and prevents "leaks" when interpreters are removed from due to PerlInterpMax{Requests,Spare}
  • implement modperl_sys_dlclose() to avoid apr/pool overhead/thread issues
  • get the -DPERL_CORE optimization working again
  • PERL_SET_CONTEXT to the parent interpreter when cloning interpreters at request time, else dTHX might be NULL during clone in the given thread, which would crash the server.

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
  • Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>
    • add MODPERL2 config define, as if the server had been started with -DMODPERL2
    • compat additions and fixes: $r->lookup_{file,uri}, $r->is_main, Apache->define
    • added compat for Apache::log_error [Stas Bekman]

Changes for version 1.99_02

  • pass the PATH and TZ environment variables at startup by default as 1.xx did
  • fix ModPerl::Util::exit segv with 5.6.0
  • no longer support 5.7.x perl development versions
  • added compat for Apache::Table->new
  • various fixes to compile/run on darwin
  • server-scope Perl{Set,Pass}Env config now propagated to %ENV at startup
  • use SvOK(sv) instead of sv == &PL_sv_undef to detect undef values in xs
  • Stephen Clouse <stephenc@theiqgroup.com>
    • complete Apache::Util 1.x compat
    • added Apache::MPM_IS_THREADED constant
    • added compat function for Apache::Constants::SERVER_VERSION
    • added Apache::Constants::export stub for compat
    • added noop stubs for timeout functions removed from 2.0: $r->{soft,hard,reset,kill}_timeout
    • turned on PerlOptions +GlobalRequest by default for perl-script handler unless it is explicitly turned off with PerlOptions -GlobalRequest
    • 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
    • various fixes for method handlers
    • use Apache::ServerUtil in Apache::compat so Apache->server works in compat mode [Dave Rolsky <autarch@urth.org>]
    • add Apache::Util::unescape_uri alias to Apache::unescape_url in Apache::compat
    • change Apache::unescape_url to return the escaped url as 1.x does
    • disabled term coloring by default (enable with env var APACHE_TEST_COLOR=1)
    • fix for APR::IpSubnet->new to check return status apr_ipsubnet_create
    • enabled APR::SockAddr module
    • turn on binmode for filehandle used in $r->send_fd
    • get MP_{TRACE,DEBUG} Makefile.PL options working on win32
    • various fixes to build/run with bleedperl
    • 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
    • apr_lock.h is gone; disable APR::Lock for the moment
    • enabled the Apache::Process module
    • fix ModPerl::Util::exit to clear $@ before calling Perl_croak
    • cut down on some build noise
    • fix 'PerlOptions +GlobalRequest' when used within subrequests
    • get rid of some "subroutine redefined" warnings in ModPerl::MM that show up with newer bleedperls.
    • a few fixes for Apache::compat [Dave Rolsky <autarch@urth.org>]

Changes for version 1.99_01

  • First public release of mod_perl-2.0-tobe.
  • =back
