  2624. *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
  2625. the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
  2626. AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
  2627. location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
  2628. *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
  2629. into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings

  2631. *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
  2632. value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name

  2644. *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
  2645. open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
  2646. directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
  2647. to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase

  2681. *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
  2682. into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide

  2685. *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
  2686. add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
  2687. and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
  2688. logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
  2689. *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
  2690. authorization provider vector and contains common authz

  2705. *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
  2706. *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
  2707. the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
  2708. This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
  2709. of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
  2710. indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
  2711. *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
  2712. and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
