+Changes with Apache 2.4.47
+
+ *) mod_dav_fs: Improve logging output when failing to open files for
+ writing. PR 64413. [Bingyu Shen <ahshenbingyu gmail.com>]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fixed a race condition that could lead to streams being
+ aborted (RST to the client), although a response had been produced.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_lua: Add support to Lua 5.4 [Joe Orton, Giovanni Bechis, Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) MPM event/worker: Fix possible crash in child process on early signal
+ delivery. PR 64533. [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_http2: sync with github standalone version 1.15.17
+ - Log requests and sent the configured error response in case of early detected
+ errors like too many or too long headers. [Ruediger Pluem]
+ - new option 'H2OutputBuffering on/off' which controls the buffering of stream output.
+ The default is on, which is the behaviour of older mod-h2 versions. When off, all
+ bytes are made available immediately to the main connection for sending them
+ out to the client. This fixes interop issues with certain flavours of gRPC, see
+ also <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/207>.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_unique_id: Fix potential duplicated ID generation under heavy load.
+ PR 65159
+ [Jonas Müntener <jonas.muentener ergon.ch>, Christophe Jaillet]
+
+ *) "[mod_dav_fs etag handling] should really honor the FileETag setting".
+ - It now does.
+ - Add "Digest" to FileETag directive, allowing a strong ETag to be
+ generated using a file digest.
+ - Add ap_make_etag_ex() and ap_set_etag_fd() to allow full control over
+ ETag generation.
+ - Add concept of "binary notes" to request_rec, allowing packed bit flags
+ to be added to a request.
+ - First binary note - AP_REQUEST_STRONG_ETAG - allows modules to force
+ the ETag to a strong ETag to comply with RFC requirements, such as those
+ mandated by various WebDAV extensions.
+ [Graham Leggett]

+ interrupted before completion. PR 64234.
+ [Barnim Dzwillo <dzwillo strato.de>, Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Do not keep connections to OCSP responders alive when doing
+ OCSP requests. PR 64135. [Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Improve the coalescing filter to buffer into larger TLS
+ records, and avoid revealing the HTTP header size via TLS record
+ boundaries (for common response generators).

+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Don't pile up health checks if the previous one did
+ not finish before hcinterval. PR 63010. [Yann Ylavic]

+ the format can't match anyway. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Honor "SetEnv proxy-sendcl" to forward a chunked
+ Transfer-Encoding from the client, spooling the request body when needed
+ to provide a Content-Length to the backend. PR 57087. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Put mod_proxy_{connect,wstunnel} tunneling code in common in
+ proxy_util. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Improve tunneling loop to support half closed connections and
+ pending data draining (for protocols like rsync). PR 61616. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_http: handle Upgrade request, 101 (Switching Protocol) response
+ and switched protocol forwarding. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Leave Upgrade requests handling to mod_proxy_http,
+ allowing for (non-)Upgrade negotiation with the origin server.
+ [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Allow ProxyErrorOverride to be restricted to specific status
+ codes. PR63628. [Martin DröÃler <mail martindroessler.de>]
+

+ to 2.4.28 behaviour. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mpm_event: Kill connections in keepalive state only when there is no more
+ workers available, not when the maximum number of connections is reached,
+ restoring prior to 2.4.30 behaviour. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_unique_id: Use base64url encoding for UNIQUE_ID variable,
+ avoiding the use of '@'. PR 57044.

+
+ *) mod_rewrite: Extend the [CO] (cookie) flag of RewriteRule to accept a
+ SameSite attribute. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_proxy: Add proxy check_trans hook. This allows proxy

+ *) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Decline requests without an Upgrade
+ header so ws/wss can be enabled overlapping with later
+ http/https.
+
+ *) mod_http2: Log requests and sent the configured error response in case of
+ early detected errors like too many or too long headers.
+ [Ruediger Pluem, Stefan Eissing]

+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+Changes with Apache 2.4.44
+
+ *) mod_proxy_uwsgi: Error out on HTTP header larger than 16K (hard
+ protocol limit). [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_http2:
+ Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/200>:
+ "LimitRequestFields 0" now disables the limit, as documented.
+ Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/201>:
+ Do not count repeated headers with same name against the field
+ count limit. The are merged internally, as if sent in a single HTTP/1 line.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Avoid segfaults in case of handling certain responses for
+ already aborted connections. [Stefan Eissing, Ruediger Pluem]
+
+ *) mod_http2: The module now handles master/secondary connections and has marked
+ methods according to use. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming

+
+ *) mod_http2: Fixed regression that caused connections to close when mod_reqtimeout
+ was configured with a handshake timeout. Fixes gitub issue #196.
+ [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_http2: the "ping" proxy parameter
+ (see <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html>) is now used
+ when checking the liveliness of a new or reused h2 connection to the backend.
+ With short durations, this makes load-balancing more responsive. The module
+ will hold back requests until ping conditions are met, using features of the
+ HTTP/2 protocol alone. [Ruediger Pluem, Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) core: httpd is no longer linked against -lsystemd if mod_systemd
+ is enabled (and built as a DSO). [Rainer Jung]

+ balancer member is unavailable; the retry on the next member was issued
+ with an empty body (regression introduced in 2.4.41). PR63891.
+ [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) core: Use a temporary file when writing the pid file, avoiding

+ previous crashed or aborted invocation of httpd. PR 63140.
+ [Nicolas Carrier <carrier.nicolas0 gmail.com>, Joe Orton]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fixes issue where mod_unique_id would generate non-unique request
+ identifier under load, see <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/195>.
+ [Michael Kaufmann, Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Allow healthcheck expressions to use %{Content-Type}.

+ [Eric Covener, Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) Add a config layout for OpenWRT. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) Add support for cross compiling to apxs. If apxs is being executed from
+ somewhere other than its target location, add that prefix to includes and
+ library directories. Without this, apxs would fail to find config_vars.mk
+ and exit. [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Disable client verification on ACME ALPN challenges. Fixes github
+ issue mod_md#172 (https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/172).
+ [Michael Kaufmann <mail michael-kaufmann.ch>, Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: use OPENSSL_init_ssl() to initialise OpenSSL on versions 1.1+.
+ [Graham Leggett]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: Support use of private keys and certificates from an
+ OpenSSL ENGINE via PKCS#11 URIs in SSLCertificateFile/KeyFile.
+ [Anderson Sasaki <ansasaki redhat.com>, Joe Orton]
+
+ *) mod_md:
+ - Prefer MDContactEmail directive to ServerAdmin for registration. New directive
+ thanks to Timothe Litt (@tlhackque).
+ - protocol check for pre-configured "tls-alpn-01" challenge has been improved. It will now
+ check all matching virtual hosts for protocol support. Thanks to @mkauf.
+ - Corrected a check when OCSP stapling was configured for hosts
+ where the responsible MDomain is not clear, by Michal Karm Babacek (@Karm).
+ - Softening the restrictions where mod_md configuration directives may appear. This should
+ allow for use in <If> and <Macro> sections. If all possible variations lead to the configuration
+ you wanted in the first place, is another matter.
+ [Michael Kaufmann <mail michael-kaufmann.ch>, Timothe Litt (@tlhackque),
+ Michal Karm Babacek (@Karm), Stefan Eissing (@icing)]
+
+ *) test: Added continuous testing with Travis CI.
+ This tests various scenarios on Ubuntu with the full test suite.

+ [ZeddYu <zeddyu.lu gmail.com>, Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_ssl: negotiate the TLS protocol version per name based vhost
+ configuration, when linked with OpenSSL-1.1.1 or later. The base vhost's
+ SSLProtocol (from the first vhost declared on the IP:port) is now only
+ relevant if no SSLProtocol is declared for the vhost or globally,

+
+ *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Fix a memory leak in some error cases with large script
+ output. PR 64096. [Joe Orton]
+
+ *) config: Speed up graceful restarts by using pre-hashed command table. PR 64066.

+
+ *) mod_lua: Add r:headers_in_table, r:headers_out_table, r:err_headers_out_table,
+ r:notes_table, r:subprocess_env_table as read-only native table alternatives
+ that can be iterated over. [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fixed rare cases where a h2 worker could deadlock the main connection.
+ [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_lua: Accept nil assignments to the exposed tables (r.subprocess_env,
+ r.headers_out, etc) to remove the key from the table. PR63971.
+ [Eric Covener]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Fixed interaction with mod_reqtimeout. A loaded mod_http2 was disabling the
+ ssl handshake timeouts. Also, fixed a mistake of the last version that made `H2Direct`
+ always `on`, regardless of configuration. Found and reported by
+ <Ar...@united-security-providers.ch> and
+ <Ma...@united-security-providers.ch>. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2: Multiple field length violations in the same request no longer cause

+
+ *) mod_proxy: Fix crash by resolving pool concurrency problems. PR 63503
+ [Ruediger Pluem, Eric Covener]
+
+ *) core: On Windows, fix a start-up crash if <IfFile ...> is used with a path that is not
+ valid (For example, testing for a file on a flash drive that is not mounted)
+ [Christophe Jaillet]
+
+ *) mod_deflate, mod_brotli: honor "Accept-Encoding: foo;q=0" as per RFC 7231; which
+ means 'foo' is "not acceptable". PR 58158 [Chistophe Jaillet]
+
+ *) mod_md v2.2.3:
+ - Configuring MDCAChallenges replaces any previous existing challenge configuration. It
+ had been additive before which was not the intended behaviour. [@mkauf]
+ - Fixing order of ACME challenges used when nothing else configured. Code now behaves as
+ documented for `MDCAChallenges`. Fixes #156. Thanks again to @mkauf for finding this.
+ - Fixing a potential, low memory null pointer dereference [thanks to @uhliarik].
+ - Fixing an incompatibility with a change in libcurl v7.66.0 that added unwanted
+ "transfer-encoding" to POST requests. This failed in direct communication with
+ Let's Encrypt boulder server. Thanks to @mkauf for finding and fixing. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_md: Adding the several new features.
+ The module offers an implementation of OCSP Stapling that can replace fully or
+ for a limited set of domains the existing one from mod_ssl. OCSP handling
+ is part of mod_md's monitoring and message notifications. If can be used
+ for sites that do not have ACME certificates.
+ The url for a CTLog Monitor can be configured. It is used in the server-status
+ to link to the external status page of a certificate.
+ The MDMessageCmd is called with argument "installed" when a new certificate
+ has been activated on server restart/reload. This allows for processing of
+ the new certificate, for example to applications that require it in different
+ locations or formats.
+ [Stefan Eissing]

+ when reading the PROXY protocol header. [Joe Orton,
+ Daniel McCarney <cpu letsencrypt.org>]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2019-9517 (cve.mitre.org)
+ mod_http2: a malicious client could perform a DoS attack by flooding
+ a connection with requests and basically never reading responses
+ on the TCP connection. Depending on h2 worker dimensioning, it was
+ possible to block those with relatively few connections. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2019-10098 (cve.mitre.org)
+ rewrite, core: Set PCRE_DOTALL flag by default to avoid unpredictable

+ handling could be made to read memory after being freed,
+ during connection shutdown. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) SECURITY: CVE-2019-10081 (cve.mitre.org)
+ mod_http2: HTTP/2 very early pushes, for example configured with "H2PushResource",
+ could lead to an overwrite of memory in the pushing request's pool,
+ leading to crashes. The memory copied is that of the configured push
+ link header values, not data supplied by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_proxy_balancer: Improve balancer-manager protection against
+ XSS/XSRF attacks from trusted users. [Joe Orton,

+ *) mod_http2: core setting "LimitRequestFieldSize" is not additionally checked on
+ merged header fields, just as HTTP/1.1 does. [Stefan Eissing, Michael Kaufmann]
+
+ *) mod_http2: fixed a bug that prevented proper stream cleanup when connection
+ throttling was in place. Stream resets by clients on streams initiated by them
+ are counted as possible trigger for throttling. [Stefan Eissing]
+
+ *) mod_http2/mpm_event: Fixes the behaviour when a HTTP/2 connection has nothing
+ more to write with streams ongoing (flow control block). The timeout waiting
+ for the client to send WINODW_UPDATE was incorrectly KeepAliveTimeout and not

+
+ *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Mute extremely frequent debug message. [Yann Ylavic]
+
+ *) mod_ssl/mod_md: reversing dependency by letting mod_ssl offer hooks for
+ adding certificates and keys to a virtual host. An additional hook allows
+ answering special TLS connections as used in ACME challenges.
+ Adding 2 new hooks for init/get of OCSP stapling status information when
+ other modules want to provide those. Falls back to own implementation with
+ same behaviour as before.

+
+ *) mod_md: new features
+ - protocol
+ - supports the ACMEv2 protocol. It is the default and will be used on the next
+ certificate renewal, unless another "MDCertificateAuthority" is configured
+ - ACMEv2 endpoints use the GET via empty POST way of accessing resources, see

+ - challenges
+ - new challenge method 'tls-alpn-01' implemented
+ - challenge type 'tls-sni-01' has been removed as CAs do not offer this any longer
+ - supports command configuration to setup/teardown 'dns-01' challenges
+ - supports wildcard certificates when dns challenges are configured
+ - status information and monitoring
+ - a domain exposes its status at https://<domain>/.httpd/certificate-status
+ - Managed Domains are now in Apache's 'server-status' page
+ - A new handler 'md-status' exposes verbose status information in JSON format
+ - new directives
+ - "MDCertificateFile" and "MDCertificateKeyFile" to configure a

+
+ *) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: 100-continue handling now properly implemented
