Changes since 1.99_16:

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]
