Contributors looking for a mission: * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested". * Open 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. RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ] * mod_headers: Allow % at the end of a Header value PR: 36609 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=490156&view=rev http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=499567&view=rev +1: niq, rpluem, wrowe * mod_alias: Accept path components (URL part) in Redirects PR: 35314 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=490142&view=rev +1: niq, jim, wrowe * mod_proxy_ajp: Fix wrong retry when sending the response failed. PR 40310 (The old fixes weren't ok). Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=518938 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=534031 (It also works for httpd-2.2.x). +1: jfclere, rpluem, wrowe * mod_so: Backport 520733; more helpful LoadModule feedback, so it reads; Syntax error in -C/-c directive: API module structure 'ftp_module' in file /.../modules/mod_ftp.so is garbled - expected signature 41503232 but saw 41503230 - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO, or was compiled for a different Apache version? http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=520733 +1: wrowe, rpluem, niq PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: * ApacheMonitor: Fix Windows Vista detection. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=536052 +1: mturk wrowe notes post today to list, can we please test for >= VISTA so this doesn't break again upon the release of longhorn server or 'nextgen' windows? * mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects. Note - this is required to avoid hangups of socket #64, #128 as Microsoft set aside 64 reserved values. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=428029 2.2.x version of patch: Trunk version works http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/mpm_winnt_waits.patch is easier to read (-U8) +1: mturk wrowe notes: a patch should have the necessary effect with the minimum lines of code - there's alot of redecorating that's going on in this patch to no net effect. The WAIT_TIMEOUT result value seems to be ignored in the revised code? mturk notes: WAIT_TIMEOUT is replaced by WAIT_FAILED with the accompanied patch in mpm\winnt\child.c. * mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. Trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=466865 +1: minfrin niq: This wants a little tidying. Use of 13 as a magic number (for a strlen of something defined elsewhere) is nasty. More importantly you need to document how it affects the module's directives. I'll +1 it when that's done. wrowe: ditto's - good concept. * mod_cache: While serving a cached entity ensure that filters that have been applied to this cached entity before saving it to the cache are not applied again. PR: 40090 Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=425787&view=rev 2.2.x version of patch: Trunk version works +1: rpluem, wrowe * mod_cache: Correctly cache and recall entities whose request URL's are url-escaped. PR: 41475 Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=506621 2.2.x version of patch: Trunk version works +1: rpluem wrowe asks - is there a disambiguation problem here? The items in the cache should either entirely be escaped or unescaped. Can't violate the applicable canonicalization. However, if this simply allows escaped entities that are unambiguously their non-path, special values, (e.g. '/' vs %2F the character) then I'm strongly +1. rpluem says: Sorry for the confusing title. This is more about the fact that the URL of the request is subject to several transformations that are applied *after* the quick handler phase (unescaping, possibly mod_rewrite, etc.). As we use the URL to calculate the cache key this can lead to situations where we save an entity to the cache under a different key in the CACHE_SAVE filter then the key we use to request the entity from the cache during the quick handler phase. If there are still questions we should continue the discussion on the list. * mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreQueryString directive to cache requests with a query string even if no expiration time is specified. PR: 41484 Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=504183 2.2.x version of patch: Trunk version works +1: rpluem PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED * PKCS#7: backport PCKS#7 patches from trunk. +1 ben jerenkrantz: What's the revision number to backport? wrowe asks: ditto jerenkrantz * mod_proxy: Support variable interpolation in reverse proxy configuration http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=421686 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=422178 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod/mod_proxy.xml?r1=420990&r2=421725 (docs) +1: niq, mturk -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.
