Changes for version 1.28

  • Apache::FakeRequest now isa Apache so code that is carefull about $r and checks that $r->isa('Apache') will not fail [David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com]
  • Add Mac OS X support to Apache::SizeLimit [David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]
  • Add Win32 support to Apache::SizeLimit [Matt Phillips <mphillips@virage.com> and Mohamed Hendawi <mhendawi@virage.com>]
  • Change Apache::SizeLimit to not push a cleanup handler if already in the cleanup handler phase, and adjust docs to show that cleanup handler is the preferred phase to use [Perrin Harkins <perrin@elem.com>]
  • Rename Apache::test to Apache::testold because Apache::test on case-insensitive systems will collide with Apache::Test which supercedes Apache::test. So if you want to keep on using Apache::test, either bundle it with your project (putting it under inc/ or t/ so it won't be installed) or require mod_perl 1.28 and use Apache::testold instead. Of course the best route is to port your test suite to use a much better Apache::Test which work with mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0.
  • Philippe M. Chiasson, Stas Bekman
    • Tweak mod_perl.h to defined _INCLUDE_APACHE_FIRST only after apache headers were included [Stas Bekman]
    • avoid various warnings under src/modules/perl/:
    • declare bufsiz to be STRLEN in Apache.xs, and add STRLEN to Apache/typemap
    • add I32 typecast in Constants.xs
    • avoid use of unregistered local variables for Win32 in mod_perl.c and perl_config.c
    • s/I32/U8/ in mod_perl.h, perl_config.c, and perl_util.c
    • declare i and http_code to be STRLEN in perl_util.c
  • Stas Bekman, Randy Kobes
    • don't use $r variable in Apache::PerlRun::compile(), so the script won't use use inherited $r by mistake [Stas Bekman]
    • define PERL_DIRECTIVE_HANDLERS so that ModuleConfig.c gets generated when building on Win32 within Visual Studio
  • John Petrakis <jpetrakis@rcn.com>
    • enable PERL_SECTIONS for Win32 [Dirk Maetens <dirk.maetens@chello.be>]
    • use touch() from ExtUtils::Command, rather than a system touch(), for the benefit of platforms without touch(). [Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
    • can't let the default typemap rule to convert sv into char* in unescape_url, since it doesn't handle correctly undefs (returns an unallocated "" string, which then causes a segfault in ap_unescape_url. use SvPV_force, instead, which does the right thing. [Stas Bekman]
    • Make sure to start perl, if it's not running, before processing Perl* directives, with threaded perl and PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=0 [Stas Bekman]
    • Add Apache::Module to Bundle::Apache [Stas Bekman]
    • use $Config{'installstyle'} instead of hardcoded 'lib', to handle Makefile.PL's PREFIX option correctly [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]
    • prevent segfaults in mod_perl_mark_where() when a sub can't get resolved [Gerald Richter <richter@ecos.de>]
    • Apache::Status: Need to load B::Terse/TerseSize if it wasn't loaded yet in that child before using it. [Dan Sully <daniel@electricrain.com>]
    • document the server_root_relative() method [Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org>]
    • eliminate warnings when flushing functions with empty () prototypes in Apache::PerlRun::flush_namespace [Yair Lenga <yair.lenga@citigroup.com>]
    • fix Apache::Status to not use :: in filenames, which is not allowed on certain OSs [DH <crazyinsomniac@yahoo.com>]
    • various cygwin fixes [Per Einar Ellefsen <per.einar@skynet.be>]
    • fix to compile with 5.8.0 on win32 [Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
    • Document the possible misuses of the Apache::Constant constants
  • Per Einar Ellefsen <per.einar@skynet.be>
