Changes from version 2.8.4 include:
*) Upgraded to Apache 1.3.22
*) Fixed check whether server certificate wildcard CommonName (CN)
matches the configured server name.
*) Fixed buffer overflow.
using the pkgsrc expat library instead of the builtin one (this is to
avoid conflicts between expat libraries when an expat XML parser is loaded
by either mod_perl or mod_php), and:
Security vulnerabilities
* A vulnerability was found in the split-logfile support program. A
request with a specially crafted Host: header could allow any file
with a .log extension on the system to be written to.
* A vulnerability was found when Multiviews are used to negotiate
the directory index. In some configurations, requesting a URI with
a QUERY_STRING of M=D could return a directory listing rather than
the expected index page.
General bug fixes and improvements
* Bug fixes
* The supplied icons are now also distributed in PNG format
* New directives have been added to the mod_usertrack module, The
first, CookieDomain, can be used to customise the Domain
attribute.
* A new directive, AcceptMutex, allows run-time configuration of the
mutex type used for accept serialization.
* mod_auth has been enhanced to allow access to a document to be
controlled based on the owner of the file being served.
* A new directive, AcceptFilter, has been added to control BSD
accept filters at run-time. The functionality can postpone the
requirement for a child process to handle a new connection until
an HTTP request has arrived, therefore increasing the number of
connections that a given number of child processes can handle
Partial list of changes are:

JavaDeps - Automatic Dependency Tracking for Java
Tracking dependencies amongst a group of source files is always a chore.
With Java it's even worse: source files may be mutually-dependent, and
make doesn't deal with this situation at all!
JavaDeps is a tool to generate dependency rules for Java sources, inspired
by the "-MM" flag of gcc. This program analyzes a set of java source
files, and outputs their dependencies, along with makefile rules to build
the resulting classes.

by myself.
the need to setup per-user ~/.antiword/ directories:
- install resources (fontnames, etc) into ${PREFIX}/share/antiword
instead of ${PREFIX}/share/examples/antiword
- modify GLOBAL_ANTIWORD_DIR from /opt/antiword/share to
${PREFIX}/share/antiword
- Updated the IPv6 patch
Apache 1.3.20 - 1.3.22 Major changes
Security vulnerabilities
* A vulnerability was found in the Win32 port of Apache 1.3.20. A
client submitting a very long URI could cause a directory listing
to be returned rather than the default index page. A 403 Forbidden
will now be returned. CAN-2001-0729
* A vulnerability was found in the split-logfile support program. A
request with a specially crafted Host: header could allow any file
with a .log extension on the system to be written to. PR#7848
CAN-2001-0730
* A vulnerability was found when Multiviews are used to negotiate
the directory index. In some configurations, requesting a URI with
a QUERY_STRING of M=D could return a directory listing rather than
the expected index page. CAN-2001-0731
The security issues above have been assigned standardized names, CAN-
by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
New features
The main new features in 1.3.22 (compared to 1.3.20) are:
* The user manual has been updated. As well as a number of small
fixes these updates include new translations into French and
Japanese, a guide to using Apache httpd on Cygwin, a lexicon of
Apache error messages, updated TPF documentation, and a
comprehensive guide to using log files
* The user manual can now be moved out of the htdocs DocumentRoot
during installation by invoking configure with the --manualdir=
switch, to allow separation of on-line docs from regular contents.
* The supplied icons are now also distributed in PNG format
* A significant overhaul to the Apache Bench program, ab has taken
place, as first reported in April. The new Apache Bench includes
fixes, additional statistics, csv and gnuplot output, and some
SSL support
* New directives have been added to the mod_usertrack module, The
first, CookieDomain, can be used to customise the Domain
attribute. The patch to add the CookieDomain directive was first
submitted over two years ago. Historically mod_usertrack has used
the obsolete Netscape cookie syntax. The new CookieStyle directive
allows use of the RFC2109 or RFC2965 syntax instead. PR#5023,
PR#5920, PR#6140.
* The server will now display a warning if line-end comments (#) are
found in the configuration file. Not all directives are able to
handle comments on the same line
* A new directive, AcceptMutex, allows run-time configuration of the
mutex type used for accept serialization, currently a compile-time
only setting in 1.3. Since different types of mutex have different
performance characteristics on different platforms, this directive
will allow administrators to tune their Apache server more easily.
The current list of possible methods is: uslock, pthread, sysvsem,
fcntl, flock, os2sem, tpfcore, none. Not all platforms support all
methods
* mod_auth has been enhanced to allow access to a document to be
controlled based on the owner of the file being served. Require
file-owner will only allow files to be served where the
authenticated username matches the user that owns the document.
Require file-group works in a similar way checking that the group
matches
New features that relate to specific platforms:
* A new directive, AcceptFilter, has been added to control BSD
accept filters at run-time. This should make it easier to move
server binaries across different BSD machines without requiring
recompilation. Support for accept filters was first added to
version 1.3.14, the functionality can postpone the requirement for
a child process to handle a new connection until an HTTP request
has arrived, therefore increasing the number of connections that a
given number of child processes can handle
* On Win32 mod_unique_id, mod_mime_magic, and the mod_vhost_alias
modules are now enabled
* The Cygwin port includes a number of fixes and updates. Cygwin
support was first introduced in version 1.3.20
* On Windows 2000, the service display names can now be modified
by the user (use the service control panel applet)
* On Win32 a new option -W can be used to set up a dependency on
another service, see win_service.html
* The server will now take advantage of recent improvements to the
TPF operating system which include an enhanced system fork and
exec, updates to allow non-blocking file descriptors, and an
update to shutdown processing
Bugs fixed
The following bugs were found in Apache 1.3.20 and have been fixed in
Apache 1.3.22:
* Under certain circumstances a child may crash due to a bug in
mod_include. If a server uses an ErrorDocument for 404 (request
not found) errors which points to a server-parsed HTML file which
uses a <!--#include virtual="file" --> section, then a request
containing %2f will result in a segfault. The segfault is harmless
and does not cause a security problem, but is being triggered by
the recent IIS worm
* The Multiviews functionality has been fixed to prevent
mod_negotiation from serving any multiview variant that contains
unknown filename extensions. PR#8130
* Apache will prefer installed version of the Expat library over the
bundled version. This fixes conflicts when multiple copies of the
Expat library get loaded (notably when using mod_perl and
XML::Parsers::Expat)
* UnsetEnv now works from the main body of a configuration file.
PR#8254
* When used as a reverse proxy any headers set by other modules
(such as mod_usertrack or mod_securid) now get passed on to the
back-end server. PR#6055
* Server response headers can now be logged via the proxy. PR#7461
* mod_proxy will now pay attention to HTTP headers that specify the
request is not to be cached. PR#5668
* When a client making a request via mod_proxy died unexpectedly,
mod_proxy did not close its connection. PR#8090
* The CacheForceCompletion directive has been fixed PR#7383,
PR#8067, PR#6585
* A memory leak has been fixed in the mod_mime_magic module
* A Satisfy All option has been added to the default container
designed to stop access to .htaccess files. Without this
directive, these files could still be fetched if they were within
the scope of a Satisfy Any directive.
The following bugs relate to specific platforms:
* A number of fixes for NetWare have been added. These include:
enabling long file names in htpasswd and htdigest, protection
against ill behaved modules, better handling of abnormal
shutdowns, dealing with the limited stack space during server side
includes, and recognising special filenames such as proxy:http://
correctly
* A shutdown hang could occur on Solaris when using lots of piped
TransferLogs and at least one piped ErrorLog
* On EBCDIC platforms a bug in the proxy module stopped SSL proxying
working
* On Win32, mod_unique_id did not guarantee a unique ID due to
threading
* The Win32 Makefiles are now 100% compatible with the Microsoft
Visual C++ compiler versions 5,6,7

- Antiword can now deal with documents larger than 7 MB.
mod_xslt provides a simple, fast mechanism for doing XSLT transformations
of XML content for presentation to the user. It doesn't seek to provide
all the bells and whistles of, say, Cocoon, but being implemented natively
and using an XSLT parser (sablotron) which is implemented natively, it
provides a nice lightweight solution.
SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. Programs
that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without
running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone
command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an
SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite
library.
SQLite is not a client library used to connect to a big database server.
SQLite is the server. The SQLite library reads and writes directly to and
from the database files on disk.
interface, the mtr-gtk package uses gtk. For use in environments
which need mtr's functionality, but which are unlikely to have X11
installed, such as DMZ hosts, etc.
Patches by Andrew Brown, atatat@netbsd.org.
New version includes the NetBSD patches. Other changes...
0.51:
* Applied another patch from Ben Collver:
. minor logic problem with verifying INDEX file
. compare and upgrade now work even if INDEX doesn't exist (very nice for
me because INDEX takes >12 hours to generate on my box)
0.50:
* Applied a patch to make this work with NetBSD ports.
* Cleaned up the entire dist a little bit..
