+Changes with Apache 2.2.8
+
+ *) core: Fix regression in 2.2.7 in chunk filtering with massively
+ chunked requests. [Ruediger Pluem, Nick Kew]

+ PR: 43534 [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>, William Rowe]
+
+ *) winnt_mpm: Restore Win32DisableAcceptEx On directive and Win9x platform
+ by recreating the bucket allocator each time the trans pool is cleared.

+ redirect string in the HTML output of the balancer manager.
+ Reported by SecurityReason. [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-6422 (cve.mitre.org)
+ Prevent crash in balancer manager if invalid balancer name is passed
+ as parameter. Reported by SecurityReason. [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-6388 (cve.mitre.org)

+ mod_imagemap: Fix a cross-site scripting issue. Reported by JPCERT.
+ [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2008-0005 (cve.mitre.org)
+ Introduce the ProxyFtpDirCharset directive, allowing the administrator
+ to identify a default, or specific servers or paths which list their
+ contents in other-than ISO-8859-1 charset (e.g. utf-8). [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_dav: Adjust etag generation to produce identical results on 32-bit
+ and 64-bit platforms and avoid a regression with conditional PUT's on lock
+ and etag. PR 44152.
+ [Michael Clark <michael metaparadigm.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Fix handling of the buffered request body during a per-location
+ renegotiation, when an internal redirect occurs. PR 43738.

+
+ *) log.c: Ensure Win32 resurrects its lost robust logger processes.

+ final name. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]

+ possible cross-site scripting flaws affecting web browsers that do not
+ derive the response character set as required by RFC2616. One of these
+ reported by SecurityReason [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) http_protocol: Escape request method in 405 error reporting.
+ This has no security impact since the browser cannot be tricked
+ into sending arbitrary method strings. [Jeff Trawick]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Fix SSL client certificate extensions parsing bug. PR 44073.
+ [yl <yl bee-ware.net>]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_ajp: Use 64K as maximum AJP packet size. This is the maximum
+ length we can squeeze inside the AJP message packet.
+ [Mladen Turk]
+
+ *) core: Lower memory consumption of ap_r* functions by reusing the brigade
+ instead of recreating it during each filter pass.
+ [Stefan Fritsch <sf sfritsch.de>]
+
+ *) core: Lower memory consumption in case that flush buckets are passed thru
+ the chunk filter as last bucket of a brigade. PR 23567.
+ [Stefan Fritsch <sf sfritsch.de>]

+ *) core: Change etag generation to produce identical results on
+ 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. PR 40064. [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) http_protocol: Escape request method in 413 error reporting.
+ Determined to be not generally exploitable, but a flaw in any case.

+
+ *) mod_filter: Don't segfault on (unsupported) chained FilterProvider usage.
+ PR 43956 [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) core: Handle unrecognised transfer-encodings.
+ PR 43882 [Nick Kew, Jeff Trawick]
+
+ *) mod_include: Add an "if" directive syntax to test whether an URL
+ is accessible, and if so, conditionally display content. This
+ allows a webmaster to hide a link to a private page when the user
+ has no access to that page. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) Various code cleanups. PR 38699, 39518, 42005, 42006, 42007, 42008, 42009

+ of errors. Allow local timestamps to be used when rotating based
+ on file size. [Jeff Trawick]

+ ProxyPass, to suppress URI-canonicalisation in a reverse proxy. Also,
+ don't escape/unescape forward-proxied URLs.
+ PR 41798, 42592 [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, Roy Fielding, Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) mod_status: Add SeeRequestTail directive, which determines if
+ ExtendedStatus displays the 1st 63 characters of the request
+ or the last 63. Useful for those requests with large string
+ lengths and which only vary with the last several characters.
+ [Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Prevent memory corruption of version string.
+ PR 43865, 43334 [William Rowe, Joe Orton]
+
+ *) core: Avoid some unexpected connection closes by telling the client
+ that the connection is not persistent if the MPM process handling
+ the request is already exiting when the response header is built.
+ [Jeff Trawick]
+
+ *) mod_autoindex: Generate valid XHTML output by adding the xhtml
+ namespace. PR 43649 [Jose Kahan <jose w3.org>]

+ (limited) use during request processing, avoiding possible
+ memory corruption and crashes. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) Event MPM: Add support for running under mod_ssl, by reverting to the
+ Worker MPM behaviors, when run under an input filter that buffers
+ its own data. [Paul Querna]
+
+ *) mod_charset_lite: Don't crash when the request has no associated
+ filename. [Jeff Trawick]
+
+ *) Core: fix possible crash at startup in case of nonexistent DocumentRoot.

+ *) HTTP protocol: Add "DefaultType none" option.
+ PR 13986 and PR 16139 [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) mod_rewrite: Add option to suppress URL unescaping
+ PR 34602 [Guenther Gsenger <guenther.gsenger gmail.com>]
+
+ *) mpm_winnt: Eliminate wait_for_many_objects. Allows the clean
+ shutdown of the server when the MaxClients is higher then 257,
+ in a more responsive manner [Mladen Turk, William Rowe]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_http: Remove Warning headers with wrong date
+ PR 16138 [Nick Kew]

+ response, even where other Via headers exist.
+ PR 19439 [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) http_core: OPTIONS * no longer maps to local storage or URI
+ space. Note that unlike previous versions, OPTIONS * no
+ longer returns an Allow: header. PR 43519 [Jim Jagielski]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_http: strip hop-by-hop response headers
+ PR 43455 [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Don't by default violate RFC2616 by setting
+ Max-Forwards when the client didn't send it to us.
+ Leave that as a configuration option.
+ PR 16137 [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) scoreboard: improve error message on apr_shm_create failure
+ PR 40037 [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) proxy: Fix persistent backend connections.

+ *) mod_deflate: initialise inflate-out filter correctly when the
+ first brigade contains no data buckets.
+ PR 43512 [Nick Kew]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_ajp: Ignore any ajp13 flush packets received before
+ we send the response headers. See Tomcat PR 43478.

+ starting a new child.
