The module no longer has an + explicit dependency to the PCRE library but uses ap_pregcomp(), + ap_regexec(), and ap_regexec_len() from ap_regex.h. + Wrapping the PCRE (v1) and PCRE2 interface by the Apache httpd allows you + to use either the old or the new API version (depends on locating + pcre2-config). PCRE2 compatibility requires Apache httpd 2.4.53 or newer. + + - Support utilities migrated to PCRE2 API (version 10.x). + Tested with PCRE2 version 10.41. + + - Removed compatibility to Apache 2.0 and 2.2. + +Version 11.72 + + - Improve the support of Apache "event" MPM by calculating + a higher QS_MaxClients default value based on the + AsyncRequestWorkerFactor setting. + +Version 11.71 + + - Removed directive QS_Chroot. + + - Minor code changes (improvements #39/#40 reported by + Rainer Jung - many thanks). + + - QS_LogOnly also disables QS_EventKBytesPerSecLimit and + QS_LocKBytesPerSecLimit (deactivates delay output filter). + + - Uses apr_temp_dir_get() to determine temp. directory for + semaphores/shared memory (default used to be /var/tmp). + Use QS_SemMemFile to override it. + +Version 11.70 + + - QS_ClientGeoCountryPriv skips clients whose IP address can't + be mapped to a country code if the argument 'excludeUnknown' + is specified. + +Version 11.69 + + - Internal: QS_SetEnvIf directives use an array to store all + rules (to ensure they are applied in the order they appear + in the configuration file). + + - Apache 2.4.49 compatibility fix introduced by mod_qos 11.68 is no + longer applied for Apache version 2.4.50 and newer. + 'QS_ForcedClose off' could be used to enable gentle connection + close handling manually. + +Version 11.68 + + - Compatibility with Apache 2.4.49 (avoid segfault when returning + error code in pre-connection hook / issue similar to CVE-2017-3169). + +Version 11.67 + + - The QS_LogEnv directive can be used to enable environment variable + logging. mod_qos writes all environment variables which are set when + entering a handler to the log. + +Version 11.66 + + - QS_ClientIpFromHeader supports pseudo IP by creating a hash + of a HTTP request header's value if the header name is prefixed + by '#', e.g. #Authorization to use the HTTP basic auth header. + It's also possible to use the client's SSL client certificate's + subject and issuer DN if you specify #SSL_CLIENT_S_DN instead + of a real HTTP header name. + Note: Does not work for IP geolocation. + +Version 11.65 + + - Fixed: QS_SrvMinDataRate did not enforce (log only) min data rate + in simple mode (only one arg). + Improved min. data rate calculation and updated documentation. + + - Fixed: Several typos in documentation. + +Version 11.64 + + - Updated request header filter rules (allows signed HTTP exchanges content + type in Accept header). + + - qsgeo: New pattern to detect "readable" format (no longer adding IP address + range twice for some file formats). + + - QS_Status: adds the QS_AllConn variable to the maxClients object. + +Version 11.63 + + - Adds the option 'jsredirect' to the QS_UserTrackingCookieName directive: + Client (browser) has to use Javascript within the cookie check page + to fetch the cookie and to redirect the client back to the initially + requested page (adding Javascript to the cookie challenge). + SSI variables to be used in the HTML page / Javascript: + - QS_UT_QUERY: query string to call (ajax) the cookie page again to + obtain the cookie. + - QS_UT_NAME: name of the cookie + - QS_UT_INITIAL_URI: initial page to redirect to + Sample page: http://mod-qos.sourceforge.net/cookie-ir.shtml + +Version 11.62 + + - Machine-readable version of the status viewer does no longer + show QS_SrvMaxConn* counters for virtual hosts using the base + server's configuration and counter. + + - New directive QS_MaxClients. + +Version 11.61 + + - QS_SrvMaxConnPerIP can handle more than MaxClient IP addresses + (if the server opens new connections faster than closing old) + and enables memory block distribution by default. + +Version 11.60 + + - Fixed: Wrong connection counter (total server connections stored in the + QS_AllConn variable) when using SrvMaxConn* directives globally only but + other QS_* directives within virtual hosts. Bug influenced + QS_SrvMinDataRate behavior as well (activating and increasing the min. + data rate too fast). + +Version 11.59 + + - QS_EventRequestLimit writes the current counter value to the + QS_EventRequestLimit_<env-variable>_Counter environment variable. + + - New directive QS_SetEnvIfCmp. + +Version 11.58 + + - Adds directive QS_UnsetReqHeader. + + - Removes version information in automake configure script (utilities). + +Version 11.57 + + - Adds qsrespeed and qsre (previous "regexspeed" and "regex" dev tool) + to the support utilities. + +Version 11.56 + + - Non-functional: Changed QS_Status invocation timer implementation. + + - Adds qsdt (previous "duration" dev tool) to the support utilities. + +Version 11.55 + + - qslog: "-l" supports files with huge gaps (missing lines). + + - QS_SetEnvIf and QS_SetEnvIfQuery directives can be used within Location + configuration. + +Version 11.54 + + - Introduces the QS_Block_Decrement variable. + +Version 11.53 + + - Adds CORS headers to the default QS_RequestHeaderFilter and + QS_ResponseHeaderFilter rule set. + + - qslog: shows also the distribution of response durations faster than + a second within the following intervals: + * 0-49ms + * 50-99ms + * 100-499ms + * 500-999ms + +Version 11.52 + + - Fixed: QS_LimitRequestBody did not work for chunked requests + when used in Apache 2.4. + + - QS_Status uses the server's base configuration settings while logging + allowing to configure a custom log format using ErrorLogFormat. + + - qssign's verification mode supports graceful restart (sigusr1) where + two qssign processes are running (one with the old sequence + counter and the new one starting at 1). + +Version 11.51 + + - Adds process-connection handler to close the connection in the case the + abort by the pre-connect hook was ignored (workaround for bug in + Apache 2.4.28 Event MPM ignoring the connection abort) (msg id 167). + + - Uses module name in log index. + +Version 11.50 + + - Changes pre-connection hook dependency (called later but still before + mod_ssl). + +Version 11.49 + + - Adapted connection handling to deal with master/slave connections + (introduced by Apache 2.4.18) avoiding inconsistent connection counters. + +Version 11.48 + + -

Slightly changed unique-id generator (shorter). + +Version 11.43 + + - Fixed: QS_IsVipRequest was not set if QS_ClientPrefer hasn't been + used. + +Version 11.42c + + - qslog supports QSCOUNTERPATH (-pc mode) environment variable which + defines a file containing a list of QS_ClientEventLimitCount rules. + The 'E' format character defines the event string in the log + to match (literal string) the event1 and event2 event names against. + + Rule syntax: <name>:<event1>-<n>*<event2>/<duration>=<limit> + + Example mod_qos config: + QS_ClientEventLimitCount 20 600 QS_LimitEv + QS_SetEnvRes Event AU04 QS_LimitEv + QS_SetEnvRes Event AU05 QS_LimitEv_Decrement=2 + Sample qslog rule: + QS_LimitEv:AU04-2*AU05/600=20 + + Special us case matching against the HTTP status code ('S' character) + is used if the rule 'name' starts with STATUS. + Example mod_qos configuration: + QS_ClientEventLimitCount 10 300 QS_LimisS + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 400 QS_LimitS=1 + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 405 QS_LimitS=1 + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 406 QS_LimitS=1 + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 408 QS_LimitS=1 + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 413 QS_LimitS=1 + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 414 QS_LimitS=1 + QS_SetEnvIfStatus 500 QS_LimitS=1 + Sample qslog rule: + STATUS:400_405_406_408_413_414_500-1*X/300=10 + +Version 11.42 + + - Message mod_qos(034) indicates (by "in:0") when the server not even + received a request line on a TCP connection (potentially a speculative + TCP pre-connection). + + - qslog -pc mode supports peak/max value counter (M). + + -

Fixed: wrong default file size used by qsrotate. + + - qsrotate supports signal USR1 to perform a file rotation manually + at any time. + +Version 11.40 + + - mod_qos and all utilities are now distributed under the Apache License. + +Version 11.39 + + -
