2 Changes with APR-util 1.4.0
4 *) Add DTrace Probes to Hooks, making it easier to inspect APR Hook based
5 applications with DTrace. [Theo Schlossnagle <jesus omniti.com>]
7 Changes with APR-util 1.3.0
9 *) Add support for OpenLDAP's ability to support a directory of
10 certificate authorities. [Eric Covener]
12 *) Ensure that the LDAP code can compile cleanly on platforms that do
13 not define the LDAP_OPT_REFHOPLIMIT symbol, most specifically Windows.
14 [Victor <victorjss@gmail.com>, Graham Leggett]
16 *) Fix the setting of LDAP_OPT_SSL on Win2k, which expects a pointer to
17 the value LDAP_OPT_ON, and not the value itself. XP works with both.
18 [Victor <victorjss@gmail.com>]
20 *) Fix a regression in apr_brigade_partition that causes integer overflows
21 on systems where apr_off_t > apr_size_t. [Ruediger Pluem]
23 *) Ensure that apr_uri_unparse does not add scheme to URI if
24 APR_URI_UNP_OMITSITEPART flag is set. PR 44044
25 [Michael Clark <michael metaparadigm.com>]
27 *) Add an LDAP rebind implementation so that authentication can be
28 carried through referrals. [Paul J. Reder]
30 *) Fix the make test target in the spec file. [Graham Leggett]
32 *) Expose the SSL EVP interface to encrypt and decrypt arbitrary
33 blocks of data, using symmetrical keys. Experimental support for
34 asymmetrical public/private keys as supported by OpenSSL v0.9.9.
37 *) Introduce apr_dbd_open_ex() [Bojan Smojver]
39 *) Make md5 hash files portable between EBCDIC and ASCII platforms
42 *) Add limited apr_dbd_freetds driver (MSSQL and Sybase) [Nick Kew]
44 *) Commit relicensed apr_dbd_mysql driver to /trunk/ [Nick Kew]
46 *) Support BerkeleyDB 4.6. [Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]
48 *) Support Tivoli ITDS LDAP client library. [Paul Reder]
50 *) Portably implement testdate's long-time constants to solve
51 compilation faults where #LL isn't valid. [Curt Arnold]
53 *) Use buffered I/O with SDBM. [Joe Schaefer]
55 *) Unify parsing of prepared statements and add binary argument functions
56 to DBD [Bojan Smojver with help from many on the APR list]
58 *) Support building DBD drivers as DSOs by default; use --disable-dbd-dso
59 flag to configure to use static link. [Joe Orton, Bojan Smojver]
61 *) Rewrite detection of expat in configure to fix build on e.g. biarch
62 Linux platforms. PR 28205. [Joe Orton]
64 *) Add apr_thread_pool implementation. [Henry Jen <henryjen ztune.net>]
66 *) Add support for Berkeley DB 4.5 to the configure scripts.
69 *) Allow apr_queue.h to be included before other APR headers.
70 PR 40891 [Henry Jen <henryjen ztune.net>]
72 *) Fix precedence problem in error checking for sdbm dbm back end.
73 PR 40659 [Larry Cipriani <lvc lucent.com>]
75 *) Add an apr_reslist_acquired_count, for determining how many outstanding
76 resources there are in a reslist. [Ryan Phillips <ryan trolocsis.com>]
78 *) Provide folding in autogenerated .manifest files for Win32 builders
79 using VisualStudio 2005 [William Rowe]
81 *) Implement DBD transaction modes
82 [Bojan Smojver with help from many on the APR list]
84 *) Implement prepared statement support in SQLite3 DBD driver
87 *) Add get (column) name to apr_dbd API
88 [Bojan Smojver <bojan rexursive.com>] and
89 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg com>]
91 *) Make the DBD autoconf-glue use LDFLAGS instead of LIBS in several
92 places, fixing some configure issues on Solaris.
93 [Henry Jen <henryjen ztune.net>]
95 *) Make apr_dbd.h work as a stand alone header, without needing other
96 files to be included before it. [Henry Jen <henryjen ztune.net>]
98 *) On platforms that use autoconf stop automatically linking against
99 apr-iconv when an apr-iconv source dir is found in ../apr-iconv.
100 Instead, add a --with-apr-iconv option to configure that lets you
101 specify the relative path to your apr-iconv source directory.
104 *) APR_FIND_APU macro now supports customisable detailed checks on
105 each installed apr-util. [Justin Erenkrantz, Colm MacCárthaigh]
107 *) APR_FIND_APU macro no longer checks /usr/local/apache2/
110 *) Add apr_dbd_oracle driver [Nick Kew and Chris Darroch]
112 Changes with APR-util 1.2.8
114 *) Fix incorrect byte order (PR 37342) and incorrect timestamp type
115 in the fallback UUID generator used when no external UUID generator
119 Changes with APR-util 1.2.7
121 *) Fix apr_dbd_init to be safe to call multiple times
122 [Bojan Smojver <bojan rexursive com>, Nick Kew]
124 *) Win32 / Netware - add missing apu_version.c for apu_version_string()
125 to the Windows and Netware specific builds. Unix platforms supported
126 this API since 0.9.1. [William Rowe, Brad Nicholes].
128 Changes with APR-util 1.2.6
130 *) Stop trying to link against Berkeley DB by default. To enable use
131 of Berkeley DB users must now explicitly pass --with-berkeley-db to
132 configure, since Berkeley DB is released under a viral license that
133 requires distribution of source code for any program that uses it.
136 *) Stop trying to link against GDBM by default. To enable use of GDBM
137 users must now explicitly pass --with-gdbm to configure, since GDBM
138 is licensed under the GPL.
141 *) Fix VPATH builds, and symlink builds where apr and apr-util
142 reside in parallel as symlinks to directories with more explicit
143 names, e.g. apr-1.x and apr-util-1.x. This solves various breakage
144 on Solaris in particular with ./buildconf and ./configure. Also
145 eliminated the nested ../apr-iconv/buildconf, given that apr-util
146 didn't bother with ../apr/buildconf, and this was inconsistant.
149 *) Fix the escape implementations for the sqlite2 and sqlite3 dbd
151 [Ronen Mizrahi <ronen tversity.com>, Garrett Rooney]
153 *) Add support for Berkeley DB 4.4 to the configure scripts.
156 *) Fix bug in test suite that cause testbuckets to write 8GB file
157 on Mac OS X. [Justin Erenkrantz]
159 Changes with APR-util 1.2.2
161 *) Teach configure how to find the Novell LDAP SDK. [Graham Leggett]
163 *) Fix usage of ldapssl_init/ldap_sslinit on platforms that support
164 these API's including Win32. Support APR_HAS_LDAP_START_TLS_S
165 flag in the Win32 LDAP API, to drop usage of ldap_start_ssl_s
166 and ldap_stop_ssl_s on Win32 by default (change the flag in apr_ldap.hw
167 to enable if supported on a given OS level). [William Rowe]
169 Changes with APR-util 1.2.1
171 *) Fix apr_rmm_realloc() offset calculation bug. [Keith Kelleman
172 <keith.kelleman oracle.com>]
174 *) Add sqlite3 support to APR DBD. [Rick Keiner <rick_keiner yahoo.com>]
176 *) Fix build failure with non-threaded APR on AIX. PR 34655.
177 [Ryan Murray <rmurray+apache cyberhqz.com>]
179 *) Add sqlite2 support to APR DBD. [Ryan Phillips <ryan trolocsis.com>]
181 *) Introduction of APR DBD layer. [Nick Kew]
183 Changes with APR-util 1.1.2
185 *) Fix libaprutil.rc for Win32 builds [William Rowe, Justin Erenkrantz]
187 Changes with APR-util 1.1.1
189 *) Fix memory leak in buckets when using APR_POOL_DEBUG mode. [Joe Schaefer]
191 *) find_apu.m4: Try installed APR-util before bundled copy if --with-apr-util
192 not passed to configure. [Justin Erenkrantz]
194 Changes with APR-util 1.1.0
196 *) LDAP: Move all certificate initialisation, and the creation of SSL
197 and TLS connections into the apr_ldap_set_option() API. Add support
198 for client certificates. [Graham Leggett]
200 *) Emit the run-time link path option in apu-config after installation
201 if the user is linking with libtool. [Justin Erenkrantz]
203 *) Port testmd4 and testmd5 to the new test suite. [Thom May]
205 *) Allow passing NULL inbuf/inbytes_left parameters to
206 apr_xlate_conv_buffer(), required to correctly terminate the
207 output buffer for some stateful character set encodings.
210 *) Link libaprutil against the libraries on which it depends.
211 PR 11122. [Joe Orton]
213 *) Add apr_brigade_insert_file() function, to safely insert a file
214 into a brigade, regardless of size. [Joe Orton]
216 Changes with APR-util 1.0.2
218 *) Teach apr_ldap_init() how to handle STARTTLS in addition to the existing
219 SSL support. Add apr_ldap_option API. [Graham Leggett]
221 *) Rework the LDAP toolkit detection to be more accurate than "OpenLDAP
222 detected regardless", while remaining backwards compatible with v1.0.
225 *) Added the apr_ldap_ssl_add_cert() API to allow multiple certificates
226 to be stored and used when establishing an SSL connection to different
227 LDAP servers. [Brad Nicholes]
229 *) Fix the detection of ldap.h on Solaris - it needs lber.h to be
230 defined first. [Graham Leggett]
232 *) Add a build script to create a solaris package. [Graham Leggett]
234 Changes with APR-util 1.0.1
236 *) Add support for Berkeley DB 4.3. [Jani Averbach <jaa jaa.iki.fi>]
238 *) SECURITY: CAN-2004-0786 (cve.mitre.org)
239 Fix input validation in apr_uri_parse() to avoid passing negative
240 length to memcpy for malformed IPv6 literal addresses.
243 Changes with APR-util 1.0
245 *) Only install apu-$MAJOR-config and add appropriate detection code to
246 find_apu.m4 (APU_FIND_APU). [Max Bowsher <maxb ukf.net>]
248 *) Overhaul support for LDAP URL parsing. Instead of using incompatible
249 URL parsers and memory that needs freeing, apr-util provides a parser
250 which parses the URL and allocates memory from a pool. [Graham Leggett]
252 *) Remove support for LDAP v2.0 SDK toolkits. This will be added
253 back properly later assuming there is demand for it. In the mean
254 time, please use an LDAP v3.0 SDK toolkit. [Graham Leggett]
256 *) Add an apr_ldap_err_t structure to handle the return of LDAP
257 specific error codes. [Graham Leggett, Brad Nicholes]
259 *) Add APR functions to do the job of ldap_init(), hiding toolkit
260 specific SSL/TLS handling. Code derived from httpd util_ldap.
263 *) Add an RPM spec file derived from Fedora Core.
264 [Graham Leggett, Joe Orton]
266 *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
267 the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
268 [Apache Software Foundation]
270 *) A new function, apr_reslist_invalidate, was added so that invalid
271 resources can be removed from a reslist instead of being returned
272 to the reslist in a broken state. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
274 *) Switch to a single, top-level make. [Greg Stein]
276 *) Add timeout feature to apr_reslist_acquire().
277 [Mladen Turk <mturk apache.org>]
279 *) Pass error codes returned from constructors all the way back to
280 the reslist consumer. Also fix a minor reslist memory leak that could
281 happen when a constructor returns an error code. PR 23492.
282 [Snke Tesch <st@kino-fahrplan.de>, Aaron Bannert]
284 *) The following header files have been removed:
288 Changes with APR-util 0.9.5
290 *) Fix corrupt output from the apr_xlate_* interfaces on AIX 4.x.
293 *) Change the order in which ldap.h and lber.h are defined, to fix
294 a compile bug in Solaris v2.8 which requires lber.h then ldap.h.
295 PR 27379. [Andrew Connors <andy.connors idea.com>]
297 *) Restore support for SHA1 passwords in apr_validate_password.
298 PR 17343. [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]
300 *) Fix DESTDIR install for bundled expat library. PR 14076
301 [David S. Madole <david madole.net>]
303 *) Fix occasional crash in apr_rmm_realloc(). PR 22915.
304 [Jay Shrauner <shrauner inktomi.com>]
306 *) Fix apr_dbm_exists() for sdbm when sizeof(int) != sizeof(size_t).
309 *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
310 the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
311 [Apache Software Foundation]
313 *) Fix xlate.c compile failure on AIX 5.2. PR 25701. [Jeff Trawick]
315 *) Fixed a bug in apr_rmm that would cause it to mishandle blocks of
316 a size close to the one requested from the allocator.
317 [Kevin Wang <xwang_tech yahoo.com>]
319 Changes with APR-util 0.9.4
321 *) Changed apr_bucket_alloc_create() so that it uses the allocator
322 from the pool that was passed in rather than creating its own.
323 Also, the bucket_allocator is now allocated from the apr_allocator_t
324 rather than using apr_palloc(). Added apr_bucket_alloc_create_ex()
325 which takes an apr_allocator_t* directly rather than an apr_pool_t*.
326 [Cliff Woolley, Jean-Jacques Clar]
328 *) Added debugging consistency checks to the buckets code. Add
329 -DAPR_BUCKET_DEBUG to the build flags to enable.
332 *) Make the version of the db library APU built against visible.
335 *) Fix a problem with VPATH builds copying the APR rules.mk into the
336 source directory rather than the build directory. [Justin Erenkrantz]
338 *) SECURITY [httpd incident CAN-2003-0189] Address a thread safety
339 issue with apr_password_validate() on AIX, Linux, Mac OS X, and
340 possibly other platforms. [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]
342 *) Fix a problem with LDAP configuration which caused subsequent
343 configure tests to fail since LIBS contained LDAP libraries for
344 subsequent tests but LDFLAGS no longer included the path to such
345 LDAP libraries. [Jeff Trawick]
347 *) Fix a problem preventing the use of the bundled Expat when APR-util
348 is built stand-alone. [Jeff Trawick]
350 *) Use the same compiler and preprocessor for the APR-util config tests
351 which were used by APR. The user can override this via CC and CPP.
352 This was done all along for the actual build, but not necessarily
353 for the config tests. [Jeff Trawick]
355 *) Fix apr_uuid_parse() on EBCDIC machines. [Jeff Trawick]
357 *) Fix alignment problem when allocating memory using apr_rmm. The problem
358 showed up while trying to write a double in the memory allocated.
359 [Madhusudan Mathihalli]
361 Changes with APR-util 0.9.3
363 *) Allow apr_date_parse_rfc to parse 'Sun, 06-Nov-1994 08:49:37 GMT' as a
364 valid date. [Dmitri Tikhonov <dmitri@netilla.com>]
366 *) Fix error in apu-config when symlinks are involved.
367 [Garrett Rooney <rooneg@electricjellyfish.net>]
369 Changes with APR-util 0.9.2
371 *) Fix the APR_BUCKET_IS_foo() macros so they parenthesize their parameter.
372 This fixes compile problems with some types of parameters.
373 [Jim Carlson <jcarlson@jnous.com>]
375 *) Queue overwrite, we now return the item pushed, not a reference to it.
376 [Paul Marquis <PMarquis@pobox.com, Jacob Lewallen <jlwalle@cs.ucr.edu>]
378 *) Remove include/apr_ldap.h on distclean. PR 15592. [Justin Erenkrantz]
380 *) Fix race conditions in apr_queue.
381 [Jacob Lewallen <jlwalle@cs.ucr.edu>]
383 *) Stop buildconf copying rules.mk, copy it at configure time.
386 *) Make buildconf copy rules.mk as well.
387 [Garrett Rooney <rooneg@electricjellyfish.net>]
389 *) Add --includedir flag to apu-config. [Justin Erenkrantz]
391 *) Fix brokenness in sdbm when sizeof(int) != sizeof(size_t)
392 (e.g., 64-bit AIX, 64-bit Solaris). PR 14861. [Jeff Trawick]
394 *) Have buildconf copy required files from apr so that apr-util can build
395 on its own. [Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@attbi.com>]
397 *) Detect OpenLDAP when used with Solaris 9. PR 13427.
398 [Gary Algier <gaa@ulticom.com>]
400 *) Detect Berkeley DB 4.1 when compiled with --with-uniquenames
403 *) Allow apu-config to work in symlinked install directories when
404 'realpath' is available. [Justin Erenkrantz]
406 *) Fix bug in apr_strmatch when used with case-insensitive patterns.
409 *) Allow apr_queue to have greater than int number of elements.
412 *) Detect Berkeley DB 4.0 compiled with --with-uniquenames.
413 [Philip Martin <philip@codematters.co.uk>]
415 *) Allocate brigades from a bucket allocator rather than a pool. [Brian Pane]
417 *) Update with the latest APR renames [Thom May]
419 *) Update doxygen tags. [Justin Erenkrantz]
421 *) Add apr_ldap.hw for Windows build.
422 [Andre Schild <A.Schild@aarboard.ch>]
424 *) Add IPv6 literal address support to apr_uri_parse(), apr_uri_unparse(),
425 and apr_uri_parse_hostinfo(). PR 11887 [Jeff Trawick]
427 *) Add apr_brigade_writev() [Brian Pane]
429 *) Add support for Berkeley DB 4.1. [Justin Erenkrantz]
431 *) Add --bindir option to apu-config. [Justin Erenkrantz]
433 Changes with APR-util 0.9.1
435 *) Add versioning infrastructure.
438 *) Running "make check" in the toplevel directory or the test/ directory
439 will build and run all test programs. [Aaron Bannert]
441 *) Bug #9789 : NDBM support
442 [Toomas Soome <tsoome@muhv.pri.ee>, Ian Holsman]
444 *) Added a Thread safe FIFO bounded buffer (apr_queue) [Ian Holsman]
446 *) Changed file_bucket_setaside() to use apr_file_setaside() instead
447 of turning the file bucket into an mmap bucket. [Brian Pane]
449 *) Install libaprutil support libraries before installing libaprutil
450 itself, since on some platforms libaprutil is relinked during
451 make install and the support libraries need to exist already.
454 *) Added a Resource List API for threadsafe access to persistent
455 and dynamically created user-defined resources. [Aaron Bannert]
457 *) Adopted apr-util/xlate from apr/i18n for inclusion of apr-iconv
458 as required by missing libiconv. [William Rowe]
460 *) Adopted apr-util/crypto/ uuid and md5 from apr. [William Rowe]
462 *) Look for expat in lib64 directories. [Peter Poeml <poeml@suse.de>]
464 *) Faster implementation of apr_brigade_puts() [Brian Pane]
466 *) Fixed a segfault in apr_date_parse_rfc() for some date formats
467 where it was trying to overlay a potentially static input
468 string even though it didn't really need to.
469 [Cliff Woolley, Doug MacEachern]
471 *) Ensure that apu-config does not print libtool libraries when
472 using --libs. [Justin Erenkrantz]
474 *) Added apr_bucket_file_enable_mmap() function to the bucket
475 API to let an application control whether a file bucket may
476 be turned into an mmap bucket upon read. (The default remains
477 to do the mmap, but this function lets the app prevent the
478 mmap in contexts where mmap would be a bad idea. Examples
479 include multiprocessors where mmap doesn't scale well and
480 NFS-mounted filesystems where a bus error can result if
481 a memory-mapped file is removed or truncated.) [Brian Pane]
483 *) Added string-matching API (apr_strmatch.h) [Brian Pane]
485 *) Rearrange INCLUDES so that APRUTIL_PRIV_INCLUDES is always
486 first. [Garrett Rooney <rooneg@electricjellyfish.net>]
488 *) Add --old-expat option to apu-config to allow users of apr-util to
489 determine what expat it should expect to be installed. If the
490 flag is set to yes, it should include xmlparse.h. If it is set to
491 no, it should include expat.h. [Justin Erenkrantz]
493 *) Fix exporting of includes in apu-config. [Justin Erenkrantz]
495 *) Change bucket brigades API to allow a "bucket allocator" to be
496 passed in at certain points. This allows us to implement freelists
497 so that we can stop using malloc/free so frequently.
498 [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
500 *) add apr_rmm_realloc() function
501 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]
503 *) renames: apr_ansi_time_to_apr_time becomes apr_time_ansi_put
504 ap_exploded_time_t becomes apr_time_exp_t
505 [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]
507 *) Add detection support for FreeBSD's expat and expat2 ports.
510 *) Deprecate check_brigade_flush(), which had several nasty bugs, and
511 which was causing apr_brigade_write()'s logic to be less than obvious.
512 Everything is now done in a slightly rearranged apr_brigade_write().
515 *) Don't add /usr/include to the INCLUDES variable on expat's account.
516 [Joe Orton <joe@manyfish.co.uk>]
518 *) Remove the autoconf 2.5x cache directory in buildconf.
519 [Joe Orton <joe@manyfish.co.uk>]
521 *) BerkleyDB should NULL out the key if it is @EOF in vt_db_nextkey
524 *) Add ability to natively fetch and split brigades based on LF lines.
527 *) add --with-berkeley-db=DIR & --with-gdbm configure flags
528 [Ian Holsman/Justin Erenkrantz]
530 *) Fix expat detection to recognize installed versions.
531 [Eric Gillespie, Jr. <epg@pretzelnet.org>]
533 *) Add find_apu.m4 to allow third-party programs that use APR-util
534 to have a standard m4 macro for detection. [Justin Erenkrantz]
536 *) Add apu-config - a shell script to allow third-party programs
537 easy access to APR configuration parameters. [Justin Erenkrantz]
539 *) Add GMT offset calculation to apr_date_parse_rfc().
542 *) Introduce the apr_rmm api, to allow relocatable memory management
543 of address-independent data stores, such as shared memory.
546 *) Rework and fix VPATH-build support. [Justin Erenkrantz]
548 *) Add support for Berkeley DB4. [Justin Erenkrantz]
550 *) Improve testdbm help. [Justin Erenkrantz]
552 *) Improve autoconf detection of DBMs. [Justin Erenkrantz]
554 *) BerkeleyDBM v2 now checks minor level for cursor ops [Ian Holsman]
556 *) Reading a file bucket bigger than APR_MMAP_LIMIT (4MB) now yields
557 a string of 4MB mmap buckets, rather than a string of 8KB heap buckets
558 plus a 4MB mmap bucket. To accomodate this, the mmap bucket destroy
559 function explicitly deletes the apr_mmap_t after last reference
560 to avoid having too much of a large file mapped at once if possible.
563 *) Multi-DBM support (via apr_dbm_open_ex). [Ian Holsman]
565 *) Use apr_mmap_dup in mmap_setaside(). [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
567 *) Dropped the "w" parameter from apr_bucket_heap_create() and
568 apr_bucket_heap_make(). That parameter was originally intended
569 to return the amount of data copied into the bucket, but it
570 ended up being unnecessary because that amount is invariant from
571 the size of the data and is available as b->length in the
572 resulting bucket anyway. [Cliff Woolley]
574 *) Fix Makefile conversion for BSD/OS. [Cliff Woolley]
576 *) Use APR_XtOffsetOf instead of offsetof() in the ring macros for
577 portability. [Cliff Woolley]
579 *) We now create exports.c and export_vars.h, which in turn create
580 exports.c. From this we generate two more files with different
581 purposes: aprutil.exp - list of exported symbols; and exports.lo
582 (exports.o) - an object file that can be linked with an executable
583 to force resolution of all apr-util symbols. [Aaron Bannert]
585 *) Fix Berkley DBM support [Ian Holsman <ianh@apache.org>]
587 *) Fix apr_brigade_vprintf so that it can handle more than
588 4k of data at one time. [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
590 *) prefix UNP_* flags with APR_URI_
593 apr_uri_components -> apr_uri_t
594 apr_uri_unparse_components -> apr_uri_unparse
595 apr_uri_parse_components -> apr_uri_parse
596 apr_uri_parse_hostinfo_components -> apr_uri_parse_hostinfo
598 s/APU_URI_/APR_URI_/g
601 *) Landed the link-to-LDAP to the build process, and the LDAP v2/v3
602 compatibility functions.
603 [Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
605 *) Fix URI unparse function to handle the case where it would place a @
606 when both the username and password were present but omitted.
607 [Jon Travis <jtravis@covalent.net]
609 *) Added apr_xml_parse_file() routine and a testxml program.
610 [Ian Holsman <ianh@cnet.com>]
612 *) Extend apr_bucket struct to add a pointer to a function used
613 to free the bucket. This change enables custom buckets to
614 completely specify how they are to be allocated and freed.
615 Before this change, custom buckets were required to use the
616 same memory allocation scheme as the standard APR buckets.
617 [Saeid Sakhitab, Bill Stoddard, Cliff Woolley, Roy Fielding]
619 *) Install Expat when installing APR-util. [Justin Erenkrantz]
621 *) Make APR-util configure script rely on APR. This removes the locally
622 generated copy of libtool and uses the one in APR. Fix up how we
623 call the expat configure script. Generate config.nice file.
626 *) The apr_bucket lengths are now consistently apr_size_t, while any
627 apr_brigade lengths (short of a read) are consistently apr_off_t.
628 This is required for APR_HAS_LARGE_FILES handling. [William Rowe]
630 *) apr_bucket_file_create() and apr_bucket_file_make() now take a pool
631 parameter which is the pool into which any needed data structures
632 should be created during file_read(). This is used for MMAPing the
633 file and reopening the file if the original apr_file_t is in XTHREAD
634 mode. [Cliff Woolley]
636 *) apr_brigade_partition() now returns an apr_status_t. [Cliff Woolley]
638 *) Add MD4 implementation in crypto. [Sander Striker, Justin Erenkrantz]
640 *) Moved httpd 2.0.18's util_date to apr_date and enhanced its parsing
641 capabilities. [Justin Erenkrantz]
643 *) Moved httpd 2.0.18's util_uri to apr_uri and name-protected its
644 symbols and functions. [Justin Erenkrantz, Roy Fielding]
646 *) Rename field "private" in struct apr_xml_elem to "priv" for C++
647 compatibility. PR #7727 [Joshua MacDonald <jmacd@cs.berkeley.edu>]
649 *) Make APR_IMPLEMENT_EXTERNAL_HOOK_BASE generate a
650 ${namespace}_hook_get_${hookname} function to fetch the
651 list of registered hooks [Doug MacEachern]
653 *) Allow LTFLAGS to be overridden by the configure command-line
654 (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS. [Roy Fielding]
656 *) Add APR_SHARELOCK support to apr_sdbm_open(), locking read operations
657 with a shared lock and all write ops with an excl lock. [Will Rowe]
659 *) Namespace protect apr_sdbm, and normalize the return values (including
660 the apr_sdbm_fetch, apr_sdbm_firstkey and apr_sdbm_nextkey functions).
661 Normalized the get/clear error function names, and stores the actual
662 apr error for apr_sdbm_error_get. [Will Rowe]
664 *) Introduce an apr_fileperms_t argument to apr_dbm_open(). [Will Rowe]
666 *) Removed apr_bucket_do_create() macro, which was causing warnings
667 about unreachable code in some compilers (notably MSVC). What
668 used to be done by this macro is now done inline in the various
669 apr_bucket_foo_create() functions. [Cliff Woolley]
671 *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
672 Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@ebuilt.com>]
674 *) Migrate the --disable-libtool changes from APR to APR-util.
675 This cleans things up, and allows more flexibility when building
676 programs. [Ryan Bloom]
678 *) Allow APR-util to be compiled without libtool. The default is
679 to use libtool, but it can turned off with --disable-libtool
680 on the configure command. [Ryan Bloom]
682 *) Repair calling convention for apr_register_optional_fn to
683 eliminate GP fault on Win32. [William Rowe]
685 *) Substantial changes to correct linkage and declarations for
686 generic hooks on dso architectures. [Ben Laurie, Will Rowe]
688 *) apr_bucket_shared_destroy() now returns a boolean value.
691 *) We have to initialize the heap buckets to the correct length.
692 we were seeing heap buckets with 17 chars in them reporting
693 a length of 9017, because they were initialized to the amount
694 of memory allocated, instead of the amount of memory used.
695 This was only an issue for heap buckets created by the
696 apr_brigade_* functions. [Ryan Bloom]
698 *) apr_bucket_init_types() and apr_bucket_insert_type() have been
699 removed... they're not needed anymore. [Cliff Woolley]
701 *) The apr_bucket_shared and apr_bucket_simple structures have been
702 removed as an API simplification/optimization. This should be
703 transparent outside APR-util except to callers who attempt to
704 directly manipulate the buckets' internal structure (which is
705 not recommended anyway) and to callers who create their own
706 bucket types. [Cliff Woolley]
708 *) apr_bucket_simple_split() and apr_bucket_simple_copy() are now
709 exported functions, which could be helpful in implementing
710 external bucket types. [Cliff Woolley]
712 *) The third parameter to apr_bucket_shared_make() is now
713 'apr_off_t length' rather than 'apr_off_t end', since the
714 end usually had to be computed by the caller and all we
715 really want is the length anyway. [Cliff Woolley]
