"XXX" in the source.
* Review the bug database at: http://issues.apac
he.org/bugzilla/
* Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug
database:

CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
* Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache
2.2.x releases, such
that no MMN major number changes will occur. Such
changes can only be
made in the trunk.
* All commits to branches/2.2.x must be reflected in SVN
trunk,
as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit
to trunk,
get feedback and votes on list or in STATUS, then
merge into
branches/2.2.x, as applicable.

* mod_include: Add an "if" directive syntax to
test whether an URL
is accessible, and if so, conditionally display

+1: rpluem, niq
+0: jim: I'm curious that if this would result in
some
"regressions" for some users who
either depend on
the old behavior or have worked around it...
rpluem answers: If r574684 is backported (see
below) these users can
fix it without workarounds and a clear and
promised behaviour.
Relying on the above is relying on a buggy
iundocumented behaviour,
but yes I do this sometimes by myself  .

* mod_rewrite: Add the novary flag to RewriteCond in
order to prevent
the appending of HTTP headers used in a rewrite
condition to the Vary

* core log.c: Work around possible solutions rejected by
apr for
the old implementation of apr_proc_create(), and
explicitly pass
the output and error channels to all log processes
created.
This goes all the way back to piped logs failing to run
on win32.
Not in or needed at trunk/, as apr 1.3.0 has the proper
fix.

rpluem says: Is this really the correct thing to do on
UNIX? I am not sure
if all dup2 implementation notice that both fd's are
the same. Otherwise
they close stdout/stderr first and dup a then closed fd
in stdout/stderr,
leaving us without stdout/stderr in the child.

option.

rpluem says: IMHO the DefaultType documentation is now
somewhat confusing
(e.g. the server must add, but sometimes is better not
to) and should be
rewritten.

niq says: Yes, when we add r584842 to the proposal.
rpluem says: Yes.

move to http_filters.
I'm OK with that if others feel happier that way. The
function
declaration presumably remains in http_protocol.h, so
no API change.

niq says: Do you mean my addition to the documentation
included
in r582631, or is there something else that needs
reconciling?
rpluem says: Yes, there is a conflict in backporting
the mod_proxy_http.xml
changes of r582631.
niq says: Aha, it's r582476. Fixed.
PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
* mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested
groups (i.e. the ability
to authorize an authenticated user via a "require
ldap-group X" directive
where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup
contained in X.

(i.e. the patch that
would be used for backport) can be found at:

2.xBranch.diff
+1: rederpj
-0: bnicholes - Unless this is considered to be a
significant deficiency in the
authnz_ldap 2.2 functionality, I
would rather see this as new
functionality going forward in 2.4 rather than
backported to
2.2. We need new functionality to push us forward
rather than
give us an excuse to stay where we are.
rederpj says: I'm working on a project based on Apache
2.2.x which needs this code
and I would much prefer to use official Apache
code than end up using a private
patch. It isn't possible in the short term for us
to move to trunk. It just
happened that code I had written to add this
function lined up with PR 42891.
I was going to submit it and work to get it
backported either way.
rpluem says: I am still missing a minor bump due to
the changes done
in util_ldap.h. This is an extension of a public API.
trawick says: The new directives should be documented
in trunk,
so that docs are available for backport at the
same time.
* beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init
hooks when
entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting
ap_mpm_run().
Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be
executed.
Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered
in modules'
child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config
and mod_dbd).

-1: wrowe notes; modifying the existing syntax makes
collaboration
impossible by an admin team - unexpected side
effects and the rest.
ProxyPassEnv* or ProxyPassSubstitute* directives
that add this
behavior on a pattern-by-pattern basis would win
my -1 to a +1,
and solve the performance hits noted by niq on an
80/20 basis.
