Changes with Apache 2.5.0

  *) mod_lua: Decline handling 'lua-script' if the file doesn't exist,
     rather than throwing an internal server error. [Daniel Gruno]

  *) mod_lua: Add functions r:flush and r:sendfile as well as additional
     request information to the request_rec structure. [Daniel Gruno]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix crash with dbd RewriteMaps. PR 53663. [Mikhail T.
     <mi apache aldan algebra com>]

  *) mod_lua: Add a server scope for Lua states, which creates a pool of
     states with managable minimum and maximum size. [Daniel Gruno]

  *) htpasswd: Use correct file mode for checking if file is writable.
     PR 45923. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Add post_perdir_config hook.
     [Steinar Gunderson <sgunderson bigfoot.com>]

  *) mod_lua: Add new directive, LuaMapHandler, for dynamically mapping 
     URIs to Lua scripts and functions using regular expressions.
     [Daniel Gruno]

  *) mod_lua: Add new directive LuaCodeCache for controlling in-memory
     caching of lua scripts. [Daniel Gruno]

  *) The following now respect DefaultRuntimeDir/DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR:
     - APIs: ap_log_pid(), ap_remove_pid, ap_read_pid()
     - core: the scoreboard (ScoreBoardFile), pid file (PidFile), and
       mutexes (Mutex)
     - mod_lbmethod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor: heartbeat storage file
     - mod_socache_shmcb, mod_socache_dbm: shared memory or dbm for cache
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ssl: Add RFC 5878 support. [Ben Laurie]

  *) mod_lua: Add new directive LuaAuthzProvider to allow implementing an
     authorization provider in lua. [Stefan Fritsch]

     Christophe Renou, Peter Sylvester]

  *) core: Make ap_regcomp() return AP_REG_ESPACE if out of memory.  Make
     ap_pregcomp() abort if out of memory. This raises the minimum PCRE
     requirement to version 6.0. PR 53284. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) suexec: Add --enable-suexec-capabilites support on Linux, to use
     setuid/setgid capability bits rather than a setuid root binary.
     [Joe Orton]

  *) suexec: Add support for logging to syslog as an alternative to logging
     to a file; configure --without-suexec-logfile --with-suexec-syslog.  
     [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation.  PR 52210.
     [Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]

  *) various modules, rotatelogs: Replace use of apr_file_write() with
     apr_file_write_full() to prevent incomplete writes. PR 53131.
     [Nicolas Viennot <apache viennot biz>, Stefan Fritsch]

  *) cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will
     be compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
     Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
     PR 51257. [Guenter Knauf]

  *) core: In maintainer mode, replace apr_palloc with a version that
     initializes the allocated memory with non-zero values, except if
     AP_DEBUG_NO_ALLOC_POISON is defined. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Don't try a potentially expensive nested groups
     search before exhausting all AuthLDAPGroupAttribute checks on the
     current group. PR52464 [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_policy: Add a new testing module to help server administrators
     enforce a configurable level of protocol compliance on their
     servers and application servers behind theirs. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_firehose: Add a new debugging module able to record traffic
     passing through the server in such a way that connections and/or
     requests be reconstructed and replayed. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_noloris

  *) APREQ

  *) Simple MPM

  *) mod_serf
