One more maintainance version of the stable 2.0 branch is released. This
version mainly fixes the RSAref support (librsaref.a not found) and gcache
problems (segfaults). Especially people who have seen core dumps of the
ssl_gcache process on their platform are strongly adviced to upgrade to this
version.

Changes with mod_ssl 2.0.12 (23-Sep-1998 to 02-Oct-1998)
*) Cleaned up gcache stuff again and fixed a few problematic things
by adding extra runtime checks. Now gcache should no longer dump core.
At least I've now found no more bug...
*) Changed gcache communication from TCP-sockets to Unix domain
sockets in default configuration (httpd.conf-dist), because
this is more reliable and safe.
*) Incorporated reasonable change from Apache-SSL 1.25:
Allow up to three retries at the pass phrase prompt.
[The other main change in Apache-SSL 1.25 (the client cert export via
env variables) is intentionally not overtaken for mod_ssl because of
three reasons: 1. it's a too large patch which is not acceptable for the
stable mod_ssl 2.0 branch; 2. it still has some flaws Ben is still
fixing for 1.26; 3. I'm still not convinced that providing complete
Base64 encoded certs (greated than 1KB) via a set of environment
variables is really reasonable (because of performance and system
resource limits). Instead I'm still seeking for a real on-demand
solution, but for mod_ssl 2.1, of course.]
*) Backport from 2.1 branch:
Added a --force option to mod_ssl's configure script to let developers
apply mod_ssl also to different Apache versions (especially 1.3.x-dev
versions).
*) Fixed portability problems with prop.sh aux script.
*) Fixed gcache expiring: A static variable was not initialized.
*) Fixed a few inconsistencies in the mod_ssl.html document.
*) Fixed RSAref installation instructions in INSTALL file and a little big
in libssl.module which caused problems for RSAref installations, too.
*) Fixed mod_perl part in INSTALL file.
*) Changed some Apache-SSL wordings in mod_ssl.html on request
by Ben Laurie.
