+Changes with Apache 2.3.14
+
+  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Improve trace logging.  [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Respect "reuse" flag in END_REPONSE packets.
+     [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) mod_proxy: enable absolute URLs to be rewritten with ProxyPassReverse,
+     e.g. to reverse proxy "Location: https://other-internal-server/login"
+     [Nick Kew]
+
+  *) prefork, worker, event: Make sure crashes are logged to the error log if
+     httpd has already detached from the console. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) prefork, worker, event: Reduce period during startup/restart where a
+     successive signal may be lost. PR 43696. [Arun Bhalla <arun shme net>]
+
+  *) mod_allowmethods: Correct Merging of "reset" and do not allow an
+     empty parameter list for the AllowMethods directive. [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) configure: Update selection of modules for 'all' and 'most'. 'all' will
+     now enable all modules except for example and test modules. Make the
+     selection for 'most' more useful (including ssl and proxy). Both 'all'
+     and 'most' will now disable modules if dependencies are missing instead
+     of aborting. If a specific module is requested with --enable-XXX=yes,
+     missing dependencies will still cause configure to exit with an error.
+     [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_ldap: Revert the integration of apr-ldap as ap_ldap which was done
+     in 2.3.13. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) core: For '*' or '_default_' vhosts, use a wildcard address of any 
+     address family, rather than IPv4 only.  [Joe Orton]
+
+  *) core, mod_rewrite, mod_ssl, mod_nw_ssl: Make the SERVER_NAME variable
+     include [ ] for literal IPv6 addresses, as mandated by RFC 3875.
+     PR 26005. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_negotiation: Fix parsing of Content-Length in type maps. PR 42203.
+     [Nagae Hidetake <nagae eagan jp>]
+
+  *) core: Add more logging to ap_scan_script_header_err* functions. Add
+     ap_scan_script_header_err*_ex functions that take a module index for
+     logging.
+     mod_cgi, mod_cgid, mod_proxy_fcgi, mod_proxy_scgi, mod_isapi: Use the
+     new functions in order to make logging configurable per-module.
+     [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_dir: Add DirectoryIndexRedirect to send an external redirect to
+     the proper index.  [Eric Covener]
+
+  *) mod_deflate: Don't try to compress requests with a zero sized body.
+     PR 51350. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) core: Fix startup on IP6-only systems. PR 50592. [Joe Orton,
+     <root linkage white-void net>]
+
+  *) suexec: Add environment variables CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT, CONTEXT_PREFIX,
+     REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES, REDIRECT_SCRIPT_FILENAME, REQUEST_SCHEME to the
+     whitelist in suexec. PR 51499. [Graham Laverty <graham reg ca>,
+     Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_rewrite: Fix regexp RewriteCond with NoCase. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_log_debug: New module that allows to log custom messages at various
+     phases in the request processing. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_ssl: Add some debug logging when loading server certificates.
+     PR 37912. [Nick Burch <nick burch alfresco com>]
+
+  *) configure: Support reallyall option also for --enable-mods-static.
+     [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) mod_socache_dc: add --with-distcache to configure for choosing
+     the distcache installation directory. [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) mod_socache_dc: use correct build variable MOD_SOCACHE_DC_LDADD
+     instead of MOD_SOCACHE_LDADD in build macro. [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) mod_lua, mod_deflate: respect platform specific runpath linker
+     flag. [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) configure: Only link the httpd binary against PCRE. No other support
+     binary needs PCRE. [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) configure: tolerate dependency checking failures for modules if
+     they have been enabled implicitely. [Rainer Jung]
+
+  *) configure: Allow to specify module specific custom linker flags via
+     the MOD_XXX_LDADD variables. [Rainer Jung]
+
+Changes with Apache 2.3.13

+  *) ab: Support specifying the local address to use. PR 48930.
+     [Peter Schuller <scode spotify com>]
+
+  *) core: Add support to ErrorLogFormat for logging the system unique
+     thread id under Linux. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) event: New AsyncRequestWorkerFactor directive to influence how many
+     connections will be accepted per process. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) prefork, worker, event: Rename MaxClients to MaxRequestWorkers which
+     describes more accurately what it does. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) rotatelogs: Add -p argument to specify custom program to invoke
+     after a log rotation.  PR 51285. [Sven Ulland <sveniu ifi.uio.no>, 
+     Joe Orton]

+  *) mod_ssl: Don't do OCSP checks for valid self-issued certs. [Kaspar Brand]
+
+  *) mod_ssl: Avoid unnecessary renegotiations with SSLVerifyDepth 0.
+     PR 48215. [Kaspar Brand]
+
+  *) mod_status: Display information about asynchronous connections in the
+     server-status. PR 44377. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mpm_event: If the number of connections of a process is very high, or if
+     all workers are busy, don't accept new connections in that process.
+     [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mpm_event: Process lingering close asynchronously instead of tying up
+     worker threads. [Jeff Trawick, Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mpm_event: If MaxMemFree is set, limit the number of pools that is kept
+     around. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mpm_event: Fix graceful restart aborting connections. PR 43359.
+     [Takashi Sato <takashi lans-tv com>]

+     new context_document_root and context_prefix which provide information
+     about non-global URI-to-directory mappings (from e.g. mod_userdir or
+     mod_alias) to scripts. PR 49705. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) core: Add <ElseIf> and <Else> to complement <If> sections.
+     [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_ext_filter: Remove DebugLevel option in favor of per-module loglevel.
+     [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_include: Make the "#if expr" element use the new "ap_expr" expression
+     parser. The old parser can still be used by setting the new directive
+     SSILegacyExprParser. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) core: Add some features to ap_expr for use by mod_include: a restricted
+     mode that does not allow to bypass request access restrictions; new
+     variables DOCUMENT_URI (alias for REQUEST_URI), LAST_MODIFIED; -A as an
+     alias for -U; an additional data entry in ap_expr_eval_ctx_t for use by
+     the consumer; an extensible ap_expr_exec_ctx() API that allows to use that
+     data entry. [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_include: Merge directory configs instead of one SSI* config directive
+     causing all other per-directory SSI* config directives to be reset.
+     [Stefan Fritsch]

+     loglevel. [Stefan Fritsch]

+
+  *) mod_authnz_ldap: If the LDAP server returns constraint violation,
+     don't treat this as an error but as "auth denied". [Stefan Fritsch]
+
+  *) mod_proxy_fcgi|scgi: Add support for "best guess" of PATH_INFO
+     for SCGI/FCGI. PR 50880, 50851. [Mark Montague <mark catseye.org>,
+     Jim Jagielski]
+
+  *) mod_cache: When content is served stale, and there is no means to
+     revalidate the content using ETag or Last-Modified, and we have
+     mandated no stale-on-error behaviour, stand down and don't cache.
+     Saves a cache write that will never be read.
+     [Graham Leggett]
+
+  *) mod_reqtimeout: Fix a timed out connection going into the keep-alive
+     state after a timeout when discarding a request body. PR 51103.

+     [Stefan Fritsch]
