Synopsis: Change of behavior for listings with SuppressDescription enabled

State-Changed-From-To: suspended-closed
State-Changed-By: coar
State-Changed-When: Wed Sep  2 14:19:40 PDT 1998
State-Changed-Why:

The column widths in the output from mod_autoindex are
intended to be relatively fixed-width.  As of the next
release after 1.3.1, you can use a combination of the
SuppressDescription and NameLength keywords to size
the filename column to take advantage of the space not
used by the description.  This puts the sizing under the
explicit control of the Webmaster, and violates the
Principle of Least Astonishment less.  Thanks for the
report, the patch, and for using Apache!
