A release candidate for Apache-Test is now available at the following url:

http://people.apache.org/~phred/Apache-Test-1.34-rc1.tar.gz

Please download, test, and report back on this RC.  Summary of changes
is below.  A couple of very old (8+ years) compatibility features have
been removed, some bugs are fixed, and some maintenance features have
been added.  Your setup will not be negatively affected unless you are
running versions of mod_perl1 that are three versions out of date on a
case insensitive filesystem.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fix build edge case where rpm based mp sources missing Apache2::Build cause
require failure in Apache-TestConfig.  Reported by Ryan Gies.
[Fred Moyer]

When an explicit shared mod_perl lib is not defined, default to the first
shared module found by find_apache_module().
[Fred Moyer]

Fix logic error in TOP_LEVEL constant calculation.  Remove Apache::test
compatibility from mod_perl 1.27.
[Fred Moyer]

Remove the custom config feature, and instead use inline directives,
ENV vars, and look for apxs et al in PATH.
[Fred Moyer]

Prevent reconfiguration when t/TEST is called with -run-tests only.
(rev 1004278) [Torsten Foertsch]

Make "t/TEST -ping=block" work when LWP is installed. (rev 1004275)
[Torsten Foertsch]

Don't attempt to run the test suite as root.  The workarounds needed
to facilitate root testing cause large maintenance costs, and return
no tangible benefits.
