[STATUS] 1.3b2 release

[Jim Jagielski <ji...@jaguNET.com>]

As of:
    Thu Oct 16 10:36:01 EDT 1997

Release:

    1.3b2: Try for a roll and release on Oct 16, '97 (This Thursday).
    1.3b1: There is no 1.3b1

Plan:

    * All <<TO BE COMMITED>> patches should be commited by
       Oct 16 17:00:00 EDT 1997. If not, then the RM will commit
       them
    * All other patches must be approved and commited before the
       above date-time in order to make it into 1.3b2
    * At some point after that, the RM will roll the 1.3b2 tarball
       and "start" 1.3b3-dev
    * RM will then compose a Release Message and ask for votes/
       suggestions for the message. We should shoot for an
       announcement by Friday afternoon.

Available:

    * Brian Havard's OS/2 proxy patch -- OS/2 can't open() a directory
	<19...@silk.apana.org.au>
	This is take 3 or so.
    
    * Martin's [PATCH] [FEATURE] Clickable Path Components in ftp dir header
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
    
    * Martin's [BUGFIX] Another Description Column Fix for mod_autoindex
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	Status: <<TO BE COMMITED>>
	Note: RM doesn't have a recent copy. To make it
	 in 1.3b2 tarball, someone needs to commit!

    * Paul's Win32 service errors
	<Pi...@ecstasy.localnet>
	Status: Paul +1

In progress:

    * Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components 
	This has "evolved" into a new module: util_uri. Martin
	will post when it's at a state where he's happy with it.

Needs patch:

    * Gemini port (SCO + UnixWare)
	see <Pi...@twinlark.arctic.org>

    * AIX >= 4.2 could use -DNET_SIZE_T=size_t

Open issues:

    * The PR#918 patch above appears to have been bogus, should be fixed or
	reversed.  It has been reversed for now.

    * Martin's SEGV, and Alexei's GP Fault under windows (probably the same)

    * make install issues

    * FLOCK mutex problems under FreeBSD and others

    * Win32:
	mod_info
	Test mod_rewrite
	SERVER_BUILT
	crypt() replacement (but see crypt32.dll)

	- Ben has a more-or-less working install:
	    - doesn't install as a service on NT
	    - doesn't patch the config files
	    - win95 doesn't seem to serve up index.html, NT dos

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info
	<Pi...@alive.znep.com>

    * Ken's perl logfile splitter
       Ken wants votes, but no matter what, he'll add it
       after the tarball.

1.3b3 Considerations:

    * Dean's libap.a concept

I cannot commit... (Does the apache group still consider allowing me
CVS access? Maybe it would become easier...)

The original patch mail is appended - it's a one-liner.
