Changes since 1.99_07:

Correct ModPerl::RegistryCooker to reset %INC, after compile for .pl
files which don't declare the package + add tests to check that [Stas]

Log the real error message when Foo::Bar::sub_name fails to resolve,
because of a problem in Foo::Bar, when Foo::Bar *was* found [Stas]

Add PerlPreConnectionHandler support in Apache::Test [Stas]

Enable PerlPreConnectionHandler [Stas]

Support the Host: request header in Apache::TestClient [Stas]

restore the ModPerl::RegistryLoader::new() method for backwards
compatibility  [Stas]

port the support for NameWithVirtualHost in ModPerl::RegistryCooker
and ModPerl::RegistryLoader [Stas]

fix the handling of the return status in ModPerl::RegistryCooker, add
a test to verify that [Stas]

under non-threaded perl need to check whether mod_perl is running,
when modperl_vhost_is_running check is done. [Stas]

fix $r->read to read all the requested amount of data if possible,
adjust the test TestApache::read to verify that [Stas]

fix the method content() in Apache::compat to read a whole request
body. same for ModPerl::Test::read_post. add tests.  [Stas]

Adjust the reverse filter test to work on win32 (remove trailing \r)
[Randy Kobes <ra...@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]

Strongly suggest win32 users to upgrade to 5.8.0, if they run 5.6.x
[Randy Kobes <ra...@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]

When installing the mod_perl shared object, first need to check
whether the directory 'modules' already exists, and create it if not.
[Randy Kobes <ra...@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]

Add a capability to tune the test configuration sections ordering
in Apache::TestConfigPerl [Stas Bekman]

fix the complaining code about late PerlSwitches when PerlLoadModule
is used before it [Stas Bekman]

add various tests that exercise PerlLoadModule and vhosts
[Stas Bekman]

handle correctly PerlLoadModules (directives) with vhosts:
  - handle gracefully cases when things are undef/NULL
  - handle the case when scfg==NULL, by stealing the base_servers's config
[Stas Bekman]

make mod_perl work with vhosts when the server is started prior to
  post_config():
  - call modperl_init_globals as early as possible, because the main server
    record is needed during the configuration parsing, for perlloadmodule
    and vhosts
  - also make sure that we are using a real base_server, when dealing
    with modperl_init, and if not retrieve it from the global record
[Stas Bekman]

prevent segfaults, when scfg is NULL in Apache::Module->get_config();
[Stas Bekman]

ensure that a core file is a file indeed, before complaining [Philippe
M. Chiasson <go...@cpan.org>]

add $r->as_string [Geoffrey Young]

add backcompat vars: $Apache::Server::CWD and
$Apache::Server::AddPerlVersion [Stas Bekman]

env var MOD_PERL_TRACE is working again [Stas Bekman]

add a new test TestDirective::perlloadmodule2, which performs a more
evolved merging.  [Stas Bekman]

fix Apache::TestConfigPerl under mod_perl 1.0, need to require
mod_perl.pm before using $mod_perl::VERSION [Geoffrey Young
<GY...@covad.com>]

add an Apache::SIG backcompat stub to Apache::compat [Stas Bekman]

fix the Apache::TestConfigPerl's run_apache_test_config() function
where test packages are scanned for the magic APACHE_TEST_CONFIGURE
and if found get require()'d. Apache2 needs to be run for mod_perl
2.0.  [Stas Bekman]

move the custom mod_perl 2.0 configuration bits out of the
ModPerl::TestRun, where they don't belong, into a special config file
which is included at the very end of httpd.conf [Stas Bekman]

extend Apache::Test to allow extra configuration files to be included
at the very end of httpd.conf, when everything was loaded and
configured [Stas Bekman]

resolve a segfault in Apache::Module::get_config() for the edge case
when the package name is bogus. [Stas Bekman]

Apache::Reload: add support for watching and reloading modules only in
specified sub-dirs [Harry Danilevsky <ha...@deerfieldcapital.com>]

enable APR.pm's linking for apr 0.9.2 and higher, which uses a new lib
naming scheme, such as libapr-0.so.0.9.2, only if apr-config and
apu-config scripts exist. [Stas Bekman]

define IoTYPE_RDONLY/IoTYPE_WRONLY for perl-5.6.0 so the project
compiles again under 5.6.0 [Stas Bekman]

allow output streaming filters to append data to the end of the stream
[Stas Bekman]

[Walery Studennikov <de...@sama.ru>]

fix post_connection compat method to behave as it did in 1.x
[Geoff Young <ge...@modperlcookbook.org>]

add support for setting $r->auth_name and $r->auth_type
[Philippe M. Chiasson <go...@cpan.org>]

add Apache->httpd_conf compat method
[Philippe M. Chiasson <go...@cpan.org>]

add default <Perl> handler Apache::PerlSection.
make <Perl> blocks to be EXEC_ON_READ so apache does not parse the contents.
add "Perl" directive for general use and for which <Perl> sections are
stuffed into.
[Philippe M. Chiasson <go...@cpan.org>]

rename overloaded LoadModule directive to PerlLoadModule and adjust
the test naming
