[Rainer Jung] + + *) mod_http2: improved early cleanup of streams. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: improved error handling on connection errors while + response is already underway. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_http2: fixed a bug that could lead to a crash in main connection + output handling. This occured only when the last request on a HTTP/2 + connection had been processed and the session decided to shut down. + This could lead to an attempt to send a final GOAWAY while the previous + write was still in progress. See PR 66646. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fix `X-Forward-Host` header to carry the correct value. + Fixes PR66752. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_http2: added support for bootstrapping WebSockets via HTTP/2, as + described in RFC 8441. A new directive 'H2WebSockets on|off' has been + added. The feature is by default not enabled. + As also discussed in the manual, this feature should work for setups + using "ProxyPass backend-url upgrade=websocket" without further changes. + Special server modules for WebSockets will have to be adapted, + most likely, as the handling if IO events is different with HTTP/2. + HTTP/2 WebSockets are supported on platforms with native pipes. This + excludes Windows. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_rewrite: Fix a regression with both a trailing ? and [QSA]. + in OCSP stapling. PR 66672. [Frank Meier <frank.meier ergon.ch>, covener] + + *) mod_http2: fixed a bug in flushing pending data on an already closed + connection that could lead to a busy loop, preventing the HTTP/2 session + to close down successfully. Fixed PR 66624. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_http2: v2.0.15 with the following fixes and improvements + - New directive 'H2EarlyHint name value' to add headers to a response, + picked up already when a "103 Early Hints" response is sent. 'name' and + 'value' must comply to the HTTP field restrictions. + This directive can be repeated several times and header fields of the + same names add. Sending a 'Link' header with 'preload' relation will + also cause a HTTP/2 PUSH if enabled and supported by the client. + - Fixed an issue where requests were not logged and accounted in a timely + fashion when the connection returns to "keepalive" handling, e.g. when + the request served was the last outstanding one. + This led to late appearance in access logs with wrong duration times + reported. + - Accurately report the bytes sent for a request in the '%O' Log format. + This addresses #203, a long outstanding issue where mod_h2 has reported + numbers over-eagerly from internal buffering and not what has actually + been placed on the connection. + The numbers are now the same with and without H2CopyFiles enabled. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fix retry handling to not leak temporary errors. + On detecting that that an existing connection was shutdown by the other + side, a 503 response leaked even though the request was retried on a + fresh connection. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_rewrite: Add server directory to include path as mod_rewrite requires + test_char.h. PR 66571 [Valeria Petrov <valeria.petrov@spinetix.com>] + + *) mod_http2: new directive `H2ProxyRequests on|off` to enable handling + of HTTP/2 requests in a forward proxy configuration. + General forward proxying is enabled via `ProxyRequests`. If the + HTTP/2 protocol is also enabled for such a server/host, this new + directive is needed in addition. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) core: Updated conf/mime.types: + - .js moved from 'application/javascript' to 'text/javascript' + - .mjs was added as 'text/javascript' + - add .opus ('audio/ogg') + - add 'application/vnd.geogebra.slides' + - add WebAssembly MIME types and extension + [Mathias Bynens <@mathiasbynens> via PR 318, + Richard de Boer <richard tubul.net>, Dave Hodder <dmh dmh.org.uk>, + Zbynek Konecny <zbynek1729 gmail.com>] + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed using the wrong "bucket_alloc" from the backend + connection when sending data on the frontend one.

Code + fixes for changed clienthello member name. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_md: + - New directive `MDMatchNames all|servernames` to allow more control over how + MDomains are matched to VirtualHosts. + - New directive `MDChallengeDns01Version`. Setting this to `2` will provide + the command also with the challenge value on `teardown` invocation. In version + 1, the default, only the `setup` invocation gets this parameter. + Refs #312. Thanks to @domrim for the idea. + - For Managed Domain in "manual" mode, the checks if all used ServerName and + ServerAlias are part of the MDomain now reports a warning instead of an error + (AH10040) when not all names are present. + - MDChallengeDns01 can now be configured for individual domains. + Using PR from Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) and adding test case and fixing proper working + - Fixed a bug found by Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) that caused the challenge + teardown not being invoked as it should. + + *) mod_ldap: Avoid performance overhead of APR-util rebind cache for + OpenLDAP 2.2+. PR 64414. [Joe Orton] + + *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2MaxDataFrameLen n' to limit the maximum + amount of response body bytes put into a single HTTP/2 DATA frame. + Setting this to 0 places no limit (but the max size allowed by the + protocol is observed). + The module, by default, tries to use the maximum size possible, which is + somewhat around 16KB. This sets the maximum. When less response data is + available, smaller frames will be sent. + + *) mod_md: fixed passing of the server environment variables to programs + started via MDMessageCmd and MDChallengeDns01 on *nix system. + See <https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/319>. + [Stefan Eissing] + + *) mod_dav: Add DavBasePath directive to configure the repository root + path.

PR 35981 + [Basant Kumar Kukreja <basant.kukreja sun.com>, Alejandro Alvarez + <alejandro.alvarez.ayllon cern.ch>] + + *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Honor worker timeout settings. [Yann Ylavic] + + *) mod_http2: version 2.0.11 of the module, synchronizing changes + with the gitgub version. This is a partial rewrite of how connections + and streams are handled. + - an APR pollset and pipes (where supported) are used to monitor + the main connection and react to IO for request/response handling. + This replaces the stuttered timed waits of earlier versions. + - H2SerializeHeaders directive still exists, but has no longer an effect. + - Clients that seemingly misbehave still get less resources allocated, + but ongoing requests are no longer disrupted. + - Fixed an issue since 1.15.24 that "Server" headers in proxied requests + were overwritten instead of preserved. [PR by @daum3ns] + - A regression in v1.15.24 was fixed that could lead to httpd child + processes not being terminated on a graceful reload or when reaching + MaxConnectionsPerChild. When unprocessed h2 requests were queued at + the time, these could stall. See #212. + - Improved information displayed in 'server-status' for H2 connections when + Extended Status is enabled. Now one can see the last request that IO + operations happened on and transferred IO stats are updated as well. + - When reaching server limits, such as MaxRequestsPerChild, the HTTP/2 connection + send a GOAWAY frame much too early on new connections, leading to invalid + protocol state and a client failing the request. See PR65731 at + <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65731>. + The module now initializes the HTTP/2 protocol correctly and allows the + client to submit one request before the shutdown via a GOAWAY frame + is being announced. + - :scheme pseudo-header values, not matching the + connection scheme, are forwarded via absolute uris to the + http protocol processing to preserve semantics of the request. + Checks on combinations of pseudo-headers values/absence + have been added as described in RFC 7540. Fixes #230. + - A bug that prevented trailers (e.g. HEADER frame at the end) to be + generated in certain cases was fixed. See #233 where it prevented + gRPC responses to be properly generated. + - Request and response header values are automatically stripped of leading + and trialing space/tab characters. This is equivalent behaviour to what + Apache httpd's http/1.1 parser does. + The checks for this in nghttp2 v1.50.0+ are disabled. + - Extensive testing in production done by Alessandro Bianchi (@alexskynet) + on the v2.0.x versions for stability. Many thanks! + + *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed #235 by no longer forwarding 'Host:' header when + request ':authority' is known. Improved test case that did not catch that + the previous 'fix' was incorrect. + + *) mod_proxy_hcheck: hcmethod now allows for HTTP/1.1 requests + using GET11, HEAD11 and/or OPTIONS11. [Jim Jagielski] + + *) mod_proxy: The AH03408 warning for a forcibly closed backend + connection is now logged at INFO level. [Yann Ylavic] + + *) mod_ssl: When dumping the configuration, the existence of + certificate/key files is no longer tested. [Joe Orton] + + *) mod_authn_core: Add expression support to AuthName and AuthType. + [Graham Leggett] + + *) mod_ssl: when a proxy connection had handled a request using SSL, an + error was logged when "SSLProxyEngine" was only configured in the + location/proxy section and not the overall server.

[Chris Darroch] + + *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir + to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and + SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe] + + *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ] + configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug. + The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than + the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe] + + *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is + within the configured boundaries before actually saving data. + [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>] + + *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were + performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch] + + *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite. + [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>] + + *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional + loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused + definitions relating to old life_status field. + [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>] + + *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers + in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>] + + *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy. + [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna] + + *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736. + [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>] + + *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can + invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it. + [Jeff Trawick] + + *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common + authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives + 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias + into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes] + + *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy' + into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide + support for these directives. + [Brad Nicholes] + + *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as + add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>' + and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR' + logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes] + + *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the + authorization provider vector and contains common authz + directives. [Brad Nicholes] + + *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and + 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes] + + *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle + host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked + through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes] + + *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to + provider based. [Brad Nicholes] + + *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in + seconds to cache a document. + [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem] + + *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew] + + *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message. + [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>] + + *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane] + + *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and + the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed. + This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last + of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger + indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane] + + *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported + and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh] + + *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane] + + *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion + [Brian Pane] + + *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264. + [Justin Erenkrantz] + + *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive, + allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for + access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1") + [Martin Kraemer, David Reid] + + [Apache 2.3.0-dev includes those bug fixes and changes with the + Apache 2.2.xx tree as documented, and except as noted, below.] + +Changes with Apache 2.2.x and later: + + *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/CHANGES?view=markup + +Changes with Apache 2.0.x and later: + + *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/CHANGES?view=markup |
