Security vulnerabilities
- * CAN-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org)
- Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if
- one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures.
+ * CAN-2003-0020 (cve.mitre.org)

New features
New features that relate to specific platforms:
- * Enabled RFC1413 ident functionality for both Win32 and
- NetWare platforms. This also included an alternate thread safe
- implementation of the socket timout functionality when querying
- the identd daemon.
+ * Linux 2.4+: If Apache is started as root and you code
+ CoreDumpDirectory, coredumps are enabled via the prctl() syscall.
+
+ New features that relate to all platforms:
+
+ * Add mod_whatkilledus and mod_backtrace (experimental) for
+ reporting diagnostic information after a child process crash.
+
+ * Add fatal exception hook for running diagnostic code after a
+ crash.
+
+ * Forensic logging module added (mod_log_forensic)
+
+ * '%X' is now accepted as an alias for '%c' in the
+ LogFormat directive. This allows you to configure logging
+ to still log the connection status even with mod_ssl
Bugs fixed

+ The following noteworthy bugs were found in Apache 1.3.29 (or earlier)
+ and have been fixed in Apache 1.3.30:
+
+ * Fix memory corruption problem with ap_custom_response() function.
+ The core per-dir config would later point to request pool data
+ that would be reused for different purposes on different requests.
- * Within ap_bclose(), ap_pclosesocket() is now called consistently
- for sockets and ap_pclosef() for files. Also, closesocket()
- is used consistenly to close socket fd's. The previous
- confusion between socket and file fd's would cause problems
- with some applications now that we proactively close fd's to
- prevent leakage. PR 22805.
-
- * Fixed mod_usertrack to not get false positive matches on the
- user-tracking cookie's name. PR 16661.
+ * mod_usertrack no longer inspects the Cookie2 header for
+ the cookie name. It also no longer overwrites other cookies.
- * Prevent creation of subprocess Zombies when using CGI wrappers
- such as suEXEC and cgiwrap. PR 21737.
+ * Fix bug causing core dump when using CookieTracking without
+ specifying a CookieName directly.
+ * UseCanonicalName off was ignoring the client provided
+ port information.
