+Changes with Apache 2.4.20
+
+ *) core: Do not read .htaccess if AllowOverride and AllowOverrideList
+ are "None". PR 58528.
+ [Michael Schlenker <msc contact.de, Ruediger Pluem, Daniel Ruggeri]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_express: Fix possible use of DB handle after close. PR 59230.
+ [Petr <pgajdos suse.cz>]
+
+ *) core/util_script: relax alphanumeric filter of enviroment variable names
+ on Windows to allow '(' and ')' for passing PROGRAMFILES(X86) et.al.
+ unadulterated in 64 bit versions of Windows. PR 46751.
+ [John <john leineweb de>]
+
+ *) mod_http2: incrementing keepalives on each request started so that logging
+ %k gives increasing numbers per master http2 connection.
+ New documented variables in env, usable in custom log formats: H2_PUSH,
+ H2_PUSHED, H2_PUSHED_ON, H2_STREAM_ID and H2_STREAM_TAG.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: more efficient passing of response bodies with less contention
+ and file bucket forwarding. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fix for missing score board updates on request count, fix for
+ memory leak on slave connection reuse. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fix build on Windows from dsp files.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+Changes with Apache 2.4.19
+
+ *) mod_include: Add variable DOCUMENT_ARGS, with the arguments to the
+ request for the SSI document. [Jeff Trawick]
+
+ *) mod_authz_host: Add a new "forward-dns" authorization type, not relying on
+ reverse DNS lookups. [Fabien]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Add hooks to allow other modules to perform processing at
+ several stages of initialization and connection handling. See
+ mod_ssl_openssl.h. [Jeff Trawick]
+
+ *) mod_http2: disabling PUSH when client sends GOAWAY. Slave connections are
+ reused for several requests, improved performance and better memory use.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_rewrite: Don't implicitly URL-escape the original query string
+ when no substitution has changed it (like PR50447 but server context)
+ [Evgeny Kotkov <evgeny.kotkov visualsvn.com>]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixes problem with wrong lifetime of file buckets on main
+ connection. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixes incorrect denial of requests without :authority header.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_reqtimeout: Prevent long response times from triggering a timeout once
+ the request has been fully read. PR 59045. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) ap_expr: expression support for variable HTTP2=on|off. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: give control to async mpm for keepalive timeouts only when
+ no streams are open and even if only after 1 sec delay. Under load, event
+ mpm discards connections otherwise too quickly. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Don't lose track of the SSL context if an unlikely failure occurs
+ in ssl_init_ssl_connection(). [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_rewrite: Add QSL|qslast flag to allow rewrites to files with
+ literal question marks in their names. PR 58777. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) event: use pre_connection hook to properly initialize connection state for
+ slave connections. use protocol_switch hook to initialize server config
+ early based on SNI selected vhost.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) hostname: Test and log useragent_host per-request across various modules,
+ including the scoreboard, expression and rewrite engines, setenvif,
+ authz_host, access_compat, custom logging, ssl and REMOTE_HOST variables.
+ PR55348 [William Rowe]
+
+ *) core: Track the useragent_host per-request when mod_remoteip or similar
+ modules track a per-request useragent_ip. Modules should be updated
+ to inquire for ap_get_useragent_host() in place of ap_get_remote_host().
+ [William Rowe]
+
+ *) core: fix a bug in <UnDefine ...> directive processing. When used, the last
+ <Define...>'ed variable was also withdrawn. PR 59019
+ [Christophe Jaillet]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Accept-Encoding is, when present on the initiating request,
+ added to push promises. This lets compressed content work in pushes.
+ by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixed possible read after free when streams were cancelled early
+ by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixed possible deadlock during connection shutdown. Thanks to
+ @FrankStolle for reporting and getting the necessary data.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixed apr_uint64_t formatting in a log statement to user proper
+ APR def, thanks to @Sp1l.
+
+ *) mod_http2: number of worker threads allowed to a connection is adjusting
+ dynamically. Starting with 4, the number is doubled when streams can be
+ served without block on http/2 connection flow. The number is halfed, when
+ the server has to wait on client flow control grants.
+ This can happen with a maximum frequency of 5 times per second.
+ When a connection occupies too many workers, repeatable requests
+ (GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) are cancelled and placed back in the queue. Should that
+ not suffice and a stream is busy longer than the server timeout, the
+ connection will be aborted with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM.
+ This does *not* limit the number of streams a client may open, rather the
+ number of server threads a connection might use.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: allowing link header to specify multiple "rel" values,
+ space-separated inside a quoted string. Prohibiting push when Link
+ parameter "nopush" is present.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: reworked connection state handling. Idle connections accept a
+ GOAWAY from the client without further reply. Otherwise the
+ module makes a best effort to send one last GOAWAY to the client.
+
+ *) mod_http2: the values from standard directives Timeout and KeepAliveTimeout
+ properly are applied to http/2 connections.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: idle connections are returned to async mpms. new hook
+ "pre_close_connection" used to send GOAWAY frame when not already done.
+ Setting event mpm server config "by hand" for the main connection to
+ the correct negotiated server.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: keep-alive blocking reads are done with 1 second timeouts to
+ check for MPM stopping. Will announce early GOAWAY and finish processing
+ open streams, then close.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: bytes read/written on slave connections are reported via the
+ optional mod_logio functions. Fixes PR 58871.
+
+ *) prefork: Initialize the POD when running in ONE_PROCESS (or -X) mode to
+ avoid a crash. [Jan Kaluza, Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: When SSLVerify is disabled (NONE), don't force a renegotiation if
+ the SSLVerifyDepth applied with the default/handshaken vhost differs from
+ the one applicable with the finally selected vhost. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) core: Ensure that httpd exits with an error status when the MPM fails
+ to run. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Fix a possible memory leak on restart for custom [EC]DH params.
+ [Jan Kaluza, Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Add SSLOCSPProxyURL to add the possibility to do all queries
+ to OCSP responders through a HTTP proxy. [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Play/restore the TLS-SNI on new backend connections which
+ had to be issued because the remote closed the previous/reusable one
+ during idle (keep-alive) time. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_cache_socache: Fix a possible cached entity body corruption when it
+ is received from an origin server in multiple batches and forwarded by
+ mod_proxy. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) core: Add expression support to SetHandler.
+ [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_remoteip: Prevent an external proxy from presenting an internal
+ proxy. PR 55962. [Mike Rumph]
+
+ *) core: Prevent a server crash in case of an invalid CONNECT request with
+ a custom error page for status code 400 that uses server side includes.
+ PR 58929 [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: handle TIMEOUT on empty SSL input as non-fatal, returning
+ APR_TIMEUP and preserving connection state for later retry.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Save some TLS record (application data) fragmentations by
+ including the last and subsequent suitable buckets when coalescing.
+ [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Suppress HTTP error 503 and message 01075,
+ "Error dispatching request", when the cause appears to be
+ due to the client closing the connection.
+ PR58118. [Tobias Adolph <adolph lrz.de>]
+
+ *) mod_cgid: Message AH02550, failure to flush a response to the client,
+ is now logged at TRACE1 level to match the underlying core output filter
+ severity. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mime.types: add common extension "m4a" for MPEG 4 Audio.
+ PR 57895 [Dylan Millikin <dylan.millikin gmail.com>]
+
+ *) Added many log numbers to log statements that had none.
+ [Rainer Jung]
+
+ *) mod_log_config: Add GlobalLog to allow a globally defined log to
+ be inherited by virtual hosts that define a CustomLog.
+ [Edward Lu]
+
+ *) mod_http2: connections how keep a "push diary" where hashes of already
+ pushed resources are kept. See directive H2PushDiarySize for managing this.
+ Push diaries can be initialized by clients via the "Cache-Digest" request
+ header. This carries a base64url encoded. compressed Golomb set as described
+ in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kazuho-h2-cache-digest/
+ Introduced a status handler for HTTP/2 connections, giving various counters
+ and statistics about the current connection, plus its cache digest value
+ in a JSON record. Not a replacement for more HTTP/2 in the server status.
+ Configured as
+ <Location "/http2-status">
+ SetHandler http2-status
+ </Location>
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fixed flushing of last GOAWAY frame. Previously, that frame
+ did not always reach the client, causing some to fail the next request.
+ Fixed calculation of last stream id accepted as described in rfc7540.
+ Reading in KEEPALIVE state now correctly shown in scoreboard.
+ Fixed possible race in connection shutdown after review by Ylavic.
+ Fixed segfault on connection shutdown, callback ran into a semi dismantled session.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Added support for experimental accept-push-policy draft
+ (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ruellan-http-accept-push-policy-00). Clients
+ may now influence server pushes by sending accept-push-policy headers.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: new r->subprocess_env variables HTTP2 and H2PUSH, set to "on"
+ when available for request.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixed bug in input window size calculation by moving chunked
+ request body encoding into later stage of processing. Fixes PR 58825.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) core: new hook "pre_close_connection" which is run before the lingering
+ close of connections is started. This gives protocol handlers one last
+ chance to use a connection before it goes down.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_status/scoreboard: showing connection protocol in new column, new
+ ap_update_child_status methods for updating server/description. mod_ssl
+ sets vhost negotiated by servername directly.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
