query-strings and POST data.  This package provides

    1) version 2.1.3 of the libapreq2 library,

    2) mod_apreq2, a filter module necessary for using libapreq2
       within the Apache HTTP Server,

    3) the Apache2::Request, Apache2::Cookie, and Apache2::Upload
       perl modules for using libapreq2 with mod_perl2.

========================================================================

Changes with libapreq2-2.06-dev (released July 20, 2005)


- C API [Marc GrĂ cia, joes]
  Fix apreq_decode(v) when iso-latin-1 chars appear
  at the end of an encoded string.

- Perl API [Philip M. Gollucci]
  Fix "Attempt to free temp prematurely" error in apreq_xs_croak().

- C API [Philip M. Gollucci]
  Add mod_apreq2 to httpd's server tokens.

- Perl API [joes]
  Drop support for $req->env(), which also died with 2.05-dev.

- Perl API [joes]
  Support for table set/add/delete methods is formally withdrawn.
  Technically this feature died with the module API refactoring in
  2.05-dev.

- C API [max]
  Right-hand limit of apreq_brigade_move() is declared as "excluding",
  but APR_RING_UNSPLICE() wants an "including" right-hand limit. Fixed
  this by passing the previous bucket.

- Perl API [joes]
  Drop support for Apache2::Request::new's HOOK_DATA.
  UPLOAD_HOOK now takes only two arguments: ($upload, $data).

- Perl API [joes]
  Drop support for Apache2::Cookie::Jar::new's VALUE_CLASS.
  2.05-dev broke that API, and it's not worth trying to fix.
  People who need that should use APR::Request::Cookie::Table's
  cookie_class() API instead.

- Perl API [joes]
  Fix cookie domain/path munging in Apache2::Cookie::new().
