Time for new apr-* releases soon? Corrections inc for .vcproj conversion

I know folks just cleared up a ton of bugs, and not that many problems
remain in 0.9/1.2 branches.  But if you see any that you would like to
have fixed in the next couple days, please dig in.  I've got only one
thing keeping me from rolling out some release candidates...

The last several weeks I've been pretty deep in x64 and VC 2005, and
should have the 'appropriate' changes to the .dsp files wrapped up over
this weekend.  Have *finally* stumbled upon the best logic that makes it
much easier for folks to open up these projects in VS2005 (the first with
a 'free' flavor) and ensure it-just-works, including the x64 model.

Obviously, the win32 community is clamoring for a new release with fixes
to the "problems" they encountered with the prior release of apr.  As we've
reverted the 'problem' the fcgid community encountered (they stand on notice
to address the change before apr-1.3 starts showing up), and solved the issue
the modperl community has encountered for almost a decade, a new release
soon would be goodness.

So I'll be offering up those patches over the weekend and would like to
offer to T&R early next week for all to enjoy.  Just prodding, if anyone's
looking for an excuse to pick off other bugs in the next few days.

The patch was broken in other ways, too.

I have attached a different patch that is definitely an improvement 
over 2.2.6 (though a small race condition remains). Can you look at 
it again and maybe include it in 2.2.7?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Stefan

A quick review seems to indicate that the suggested patch could
result in a worker accepting a request and then being killed
off, something that we've tried to prevent...

Maybe someone could also look at

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42829

which is somewhat annoying and seems to have a working patch.

TIA.

I hope to have some cycles over the weekend to catch up
on my voting...

There are several backport proposals in the STATUS file
missing only one vote. So I guess it is voting time :-).

There are several backport proposals in the STATUS file
missing only one vote. So I guess it is voting time :-).

Once APR is out, I'll plan on a httpd release too.
