mod_perl

Changes for version 1.15_01

USE_DSO=1 may be fixed on some platforms w/ current 1.3.2-dev for those who are not, e.g. linux, can try a workaround by giving PERL_DSO_UNLOAD to Makefile.PL or by setting the PERL_DSO_UNLOAD environment variable
fix bug in Apache::Registry if $r->uri eq "/", thanks to Mike Wertheim for the spot
Added Doug Bagley's Apache::SizeLimit [Brian Moseley <ix@maz.org>]
a Perl syntax error may corrupt the Perl stack, rendering the process useless, so we now child_terminate() if this is the case (thanks to Ken Williams for the Apache::Death bug illustration)
<Perl> sections will now report configuration syntax errors
added Apache::SubRequest->bytes_sent method
added Apache::Server->register_cleanup method
DYNAMIC=1 works again
Apache::PerlRun will now save/restore %INC to cure problem with "library" files that don't include a package delaration
global renames: $Apache::Server{Re}Starting -> $Apache::Server::{Re}Starting
s/PERL_TIE_TABLES/PERL_TABLE_API/g
fix Apache::URI so components can be properly undef-d, thanks to Charles C. Fu for the spot
</Perl> match is now case insensitive, thanks to Randal Schwartz for the spot
added Apache::Util::string_size function
PerlDirectiveHandlers changes:
- -fix Apache::ExtUtils::command_table to properly deal with <Containers> inside HASH ref entries -now looks for a DIR_CREATE() method rather than new() -dir_merge() must now be DIR_MERGE() -order of $parms and $cfg args swapped -added missing FLAG directive handler -module.name is now the Perl package name, rather than Foo.xs
add dTHR for PERL_TIE_SCRIPTNAME=1 [Michael Parker <parker@austx.tandem.com>]
deprecate $r->cgi_{env,var}, $r->subprocess_env can do all that and them some
when rwrite() returns -1, break out of the loop, no longer checking r->connection->aborted
fix $...NameWithVirtualHost defaulting in Apache::PerlRun ["Ryan A. Whelan" <rwhelan@2rad.net>
r->as_string now uses table_do() and moved to xs
use 1.3.2-dev+'s ap_custom_response() when possible
remove Apache::DESTROY method (was only for avoiding old AutoLoader bug)
Apache::exit fixed under Apache::PerlRun
fix chdir_file() call in Apache::Registry so we go back to the original directory [Gerald Richter <richter@ecos.de>]
added :override :args_how tags to Apache::Constants
add DIR_MAGIC_TYPE to perl_handlers[] table for directory indexing modules
Apache::Log optimizations/enhancements: $r->log now invokes ap_log_rerror (w/ 1.3.2-dev+) ${r,s}->log->$method() will now accept a CODE ref as it's first argument, which is only called when LogLevel >= $method caller() file/line info determined only if LogLevel >= debug avoid copy of message SV log() method and aliases now in xs
tweak Apache->module so it can test for configured .c modules
pushing out experimental stuff: EXPERIMENTAL=1 (enables all experiments, except PERL_DEFAULT_OPMASK) PERL_GET_SET_HANDLERS=1 if PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS PERL_MARK_WHERE=1, PERL_TIE_SCRIPTNAME=1 if PERL_TRACE
new $r->server->next method
removed use of Term::ReadLine in Makefile.PL to make it work on systems with broken Term::ReadLines installed.

- add CLOSE method for tied *STD{OUT,IN}
- add config for mod_ssl and 'make test' [Lupe Christoph <lupe@alanya.m.isar.de>]
- PerlInitHandler is now aliased to PerlPostReadRequestHandler when configured a the "top-level", that is, not within any Location, Directory or Files, where it is still aliased to PerlHeaderParserHandler

Andrea Borgia <bab0069@iperbole.bologna.it>
- set LD_RUN_PATH in Makefile.PL [Tom Hughes <tom@compton.demon.co.uk>]

- new experimental options PERL_SAFE_STARTUP and PERL_DEFAULT_OPMASK when httpd is starting, opcodes will be disabled during PerlModule, PerlRequire and <Perl></Perl>
  - -PERL_SAFE_STARTUP=1 enables PerlOpmask directive if PerlOpmask is "default", use mask generated from src/opcodes.txt else it's a file to create the mask in the format of src/opcodes.txt if no PerlOpmask, no opcodes are disabled
  - 'make update_op_mask OPCODE_FILE=my_opcodes.txt && make' changes the default opmask generated from OPCODE_FILE -PERL_DEFAULT_OPMASK=1 disables PerlOpmask directive, forces default opmask on -PERL_ORALL_OPMASK=1 enables $r->set_opmask method for per-directory masks -new module Apache::Opcode for generating op_mask
- Fixed Apache::Util::ht_time test (util.t) so it doesn't fail without any reason
- added $r->finfo method
- Apache::Connection and Apache::Server will not be loaded by default if a PerlRequire file says: no mod_perl qw(Connection Server);
- Apache.xs cleanups:
  - -move Apache::Connection code from Apache.xs to Connection.xs -move Apache::Server code from Apache.xs to Server.xs -remove Apache::fork stuff -remove max_request_per_client method (use Apache::Globals instead)
