Correct ModPerl::RegistryCooker to reset %INC, after compile for .pl files which don't declare the package + add tests to check that [Stas]
Log the real error message when Foo::Bar::sub_name fails to resolve, because of a problem in Foo::Bar, when Foo::Bar *was* found [Stas]
Add PerlPreConnectionHandler support in Apache::Test [Stas]
Enable PerlPreConnectionHandler [Stas]
Support the Host: request header in Apache::TestClient [Stas]
restore the ModPerl::RegistryLoader::new() method for backwards compatibility [Stas]
port the support for NameWithVirtualHost in ModPerl::RegistryCooker and ModPerl::RegistryLoader [Stas]
fix the handling of the return status in ModPerl::RegistryCooker, add a test to verify that [Stas]
under non-threaded perl need to check whether mod_perl is running, when modperl_vhost_is_running check is done. [Stas]
fix $r->read to read all the requested amount of data if possible, adjust the test TestApache::read to verify that [Stas]
fix the method content() in Apache::compat to read a whole request body. same for ModPerl::Test::read_post. add tests. [Stas]
Adjust the reverse filter test to work on win32 (remove trailing \r) [Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
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 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 2.0. [Stas Bekman]
move the custom mod_perl 2.0 configuration bits out of the ModPerl::TestRun, where they don't belong, into a special config file which is included at the very end of httpd.conf [Stas Bekman]
extend Apache::Test to allow extra configuration files to be included at the very end of httpd.conf, when everything was loaded and configured [Stas Bekman]
resolve a segfault in Apache::Module::get_config() for the edge case when the package name is bogus. [Stas Bekman]
Apache::Reload: add support for watching and reloading modules only in specified sub-dirs [Harry Danilevsky <harry@deerfieldcapital.com>]
enable APR.pm's linking for apr 0.9.2 and higher, which uses a new lib naming scheme, such as libapr-0.so.0.9.2, only if apr-config and apu-config scripts exist. [Stas Bekman]
define IoTYPE_RDONLY/IoTYPE_WRONLY for perl-5.6.0 so the project compiles again under 5.6.0 [Stas Bekman]

add Apache->httpd_conf compat method [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]
add default <Perl> handler Apache::PerlSection. make <Perl> blocks to be EXEC_ON_READ so apache does not parse the contents. add "Perl" directive for general use and for which <Perl> sections are stuffed into. [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]
rename overloaded LoadModule directive to PerlLoadModule and adjust the test naming
fix =pod directive test config problem [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]

ModPerl::RegistryLoader is now fully operational and tested [Stas Bekman]
Registry method handlers are now working [Stas Bekman]
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 [Geoff Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>] - preserve status in Registry scripts [Geoff Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]

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.
win32 fix for the global Apache->request object to make sure it uses the thread local storage mechanism
