Changes for version 1.13

  • fix Makefile.PL setting of numeric $User/$Group for 'make test'
  • Michael K. Sanders <msanders@confusion.net>
    • giving PERL_STASH_POST_DATA=1 to Makefile.PL will save read(STDIN, ...)/$r->read data in $r->subprocess_env for logging
    • added Apache::Log module (enable with PERL_LOG_API=1 or EVERYTHING=1)
    • add mod_perl.pm_version so CPAN.pm can 'install mod_perl' again
    • ensure Apache::Server::CWD is untainted
    • add support to compile with -DPERL_OBJECT (win32 + 5.004_73+)
    • add dir_merge support for directive handlers
    • $r->print/print will dereference \$scalar refs to strings so scripts can avoid string copies when sending data to the client, e.g. print \$large_string
    • set $0 to .conf file name when inside <Perl> sections
    • fixed $r->subprocess_env bug introduced in 1.12, spotted by Ken Williams
    • '*CORE::GLOBAL::exit = \&Apache::exit' for 5.005-tobe+ Perls
    • perl_startup will now call perl_init_i18nl10n(1), for 'use locale'
    • Makefile.PL will now set CFLAGS="$PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS" with USE_APACI=1 thanks to help from Vivek Khera
    • improve support for Makefile.PL USE_APXS=... to generate modperl.config
    • add PERL_TIE_TABLES and PERL_DIRECTIVE_HANDLERS to EVERYTHING=1 group
    • add some casts to avoid warnings from const char changes in 1.3.1-dev
    • write_client will break out of it's loop if rwrite returns a -1 error condition, which could cause spinning httpds otherwise
  • Eric Eisenhart <eric@sonic.net>
    • properly default $Apache::Registry::NameWithVirtualHost=1, thanks to spot by Ryan A. Whelan
    • fix tied $r->err_headers_out cut-n-pasto [Peter Kaas <Peter.Kaas@lunatech.com>]
    • Apache::read_client_block will now use safemalloc/safefree, rather than palloc, so memory is released after each read(), rather than at the end of a request. (e.g. so file uploads don't cause too much growth)
    • Added mod_perl_method_handlers.pod file, a little article about using perl objects with modperl. [ ask@netcetera.dk ]
    • Apache::Registry will now save END blocks just after the script is compiled, instead of after the subroutine call. otherwise, if the client breaks the connection, the hard_timeout will jump out of perl_handler(), and the save will never happen. Thanks to Robert Nice and Ben Laurie for spotting this.
    • bug fix so PATH_INFO is properly reset, thanks to David Sklar for the spot
