Changes with APR b1  

  *) Add the apr_thread_cond_timedwait function to the condition
     variable API.   [Aaron Bannert]

  *) Fixed apr_file_mktemp on systems without mkstemp (Win32, etc).
     [Mladen Turk, Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix a segfault in apr_poll_clear on Unix.   Also fix the logic 
     for the case where there are multiple events ORed together in 
     the events list.   [Jamshid Mahdavi <mahdavi@volera.com>]

  *) Files opened on Unix with the flag APR_DELONCLOSE are now
     not unlinked until they are actually closed, rather than as
     soon as they're opened.  The old approach worked but made
     handling temp files harder.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix potential segfault when closing a file on Unix.  If
     apr_file_close() was called and it failed, it would not
     deregister the file cleanup.  Therefore the cleanup would
     be run again later on a now-invalid descriptor.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Introduce apr_pool_lock for debugging, in combination with
     ALLOC_USE_MALLOC + DEBUG_WITH_MPROTECT.  Only implemented
     on Win32 today, very effective for debugging pool constness.
     [William Rowe]

  *) Optimize apr_pstrcat by caching lengths of first 6 strings
     [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) Add pool accessors to the apr_thread_mutex_t datatype.
     [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]

  *) Add the apr_file_mktemp function.  This creates and opens a 
     temporary file, for use by the program.  This file is created
     delete_on_close.  The initial implementation only works on
     Unix, but Windows is coming soon.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Make the unix version of apr_proc_wait_all_procs a simple wrapper 
     around apr_proc_wait, and which extracts the exit code from the 
     status returned by waitpid.  
     [Kevin Pilch-Bisson <kevin@pilch-bisson.net>]

  *) Add process locking API to APR. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]

  *) Add condition variables for Windows.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Add condition variables to the APR set of locking functions.
     This does Unix, and provides stubs for all other platforms.
     [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]

  *) Don't search for IPv6 names in apr_sockaddr_info_get() if the 
     application doesn't specify the family (i.e., the application
     passes in AF_UNSPEC) and APR isn't built with IPv6 support.  
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix the API for the apr_proc_create() call on Win32.  Several
     bad assumptions are gone, including a mismatch between unix and
     win32, where win32 was defaulting to create detached.  Also fixes
     the apr_proc_t's pid member to a real pid (identity that works
     across processes) instead of the handle (which is a new hproc
     member value.)  [William Rowe]

  *) Modify the external apr_filepath_get() fn to take a flags arg,
     currently only for APR_FILEPATH_NATIVE.  This returns c:\foo
     format on Win32, and should do the same on OS2, or sys\vol:\foo
     on Netware.  Primarily for internals, but possibly useful to
     others (and it mirrors some of the other apr_filepath_*() calls.)
     [William Rowe]

  *) Add the new thread read/write lock API to APR.
     [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]

  *) Add the new thread mutex lock API to APR.
     [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
  
  *) Cache GMT offset on platforms that don't store it in the tm struct.
     This offset is normalized to be independent of daylight savings
     time.  [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]

  *) Initial support for cygwin.  [Stipe Tolj <tolj@wapme-systems.de>]

  *) Fix a problem with buffered files on Unix.  [Brian Havard]

  *) Fix the bungling of getaddrinfo() error codes.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add an apr_thread_once function to APR.  This allows a
     program to ensure that a function is only called once.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) APR Documentation is now in Doxygen format.
     [Ian Holsman]

  *) Get apr_ungetc() to work with buffered files on Unix.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fixed apr_filepath_root on Unix [William Rowe, Cliff Woolley].

  *) Rename XtOffset to APR_XtOffset.  This namespace protection
     is important to keep from conflicting with other packages.
     [Perl]

  *) Introduce a new --disable-ipv6 option to disable IPv6 support.
     [Sterling Hughes <sterling@designmultimedia.com>, Jeff
     Trawick]

  *) Fix the new shared memory code.  We need to pass a pointer to
     an apr_file_t to apr_file_open.  Also, apr_os_file_get returns
     a status value, not the OS file descriptor.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix the new shared memory configure script.  The APR_DECIDE
     macros go in order, so the last set of dependancies that are
     met are the ones used.  That means that when using those macros,
     options should be listed with the least desirable option first,
     and the most desirable last.  The new shared memory routines did
     the opposite, so we chose the wrong shared memory option on Linux.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Move the necessary shared memory code from MM into APR and remove
     our dependency upon MM.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Get apr_lock_file and apr_unlock_file working on Windows 9x.
     [Mladen Turk, Bill Stoddard]

  *) Make all APR pools be allocated out of the permanent pool.
     This brings APR pools back to a tree structure.  There are
     no longer any way to create a pool that is not a decendant
     of the permanent_pool.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Wrap all functions in APR_DECLARE macro. 
     [Sterling Hughes <sterling@designmultimedia.com>]

  *) Non-blocking connects shouldn't be calling connect a second
     time.  According to Single Unix, a non-blocking connect has
     succeeded when the select pops successfully.  It has failed
     if the select failed.  The second connect was causing 502's
     in the httpd-proxy.  [John Barbee barbee@veribox.net]

  *) Fix apr_dir_rewind() for Win32 to avoid returning a bogus error.
     [Jeff Trawick, William Rowe]

  *) Detect required libraries first.  This minimizes the libraries
     needed in apr_hints.m4.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Support the AIX, glibc2, and Solaris variants of gethostby{name|addr}_r.
     Use gethostbyaddr_r function when available.
     [Sterling Hughes <sterling@designmultimedia.com>]

  *) Add new socket option, APR_INCOMPLETE_READ, that should be
     set when you expect the first non-blocking read to fail with
     EAGAIN. Setting APR_INCOMPLETE_READ prior to calling apr_read
     will cause select() to be called first to wait for bytes
     to read. [Brian Pane, Dean Gaudet]

  *) Better installation.  This makes us install the APRVARS file,
     as well as MM.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Provide new number conversion functions apr_itoa, apr_ltoa, and 
     apr_off_t_toa, and inline code in inet_ntop4, to reduce CPU
     consumption. [Brian Pane]

  *) Updated APR to pass the thread worker_function prototype 
     (apr_thread_start_t) two parameters, the apr private data 
     (apr_thread_t*) and the application private data (void*).  
     Applications' worker_thread() routines may use apr_thread_pool_get
     to access the pool (implemented using APR_POOL_*_ACCESSOR() macros.)
     [Aaron Bannert <aaron@ebuilt.com>]

  *) Add Solaris 8's sendfilev() support.  This requires the following 
     patches from Sun: 111297 (Sparc), 111298 (x86).  You'll need the
     other patches listed in the patch description.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Close file descriptor when we are done with fcntl or flock-based
     cross-process lock.  Otherwise, we leak descriptors.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]
 
  *) Fix a possible data corruption problem with the use of getpwnam_r() on 
     all platforms where that function is used.
     Use getpwnam_r() and getgrgid_r() instead of getpwnam() and getgrgid()
     with threaded builds on glibc (2.1, at least) to avoid thread safety
     issues.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Added apr_lock_tryacquire.  It will attempt to acquire the lock, but 
     will not block if it can not acquire the lock.  Returns APR_EBUSY if 
     acquistion can not happen.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Added an inherit flag to apr_socket_create and other socket creation
     functions.  This allows APR programs to specify that a socket should
     be passed to any child processes that are created.  The inherit flag
     is only meaningful if programs use apr_process_create().  This
     also adds a couple of macros that allow APR types to set and unset
     the inherit flag.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) apr_connect()on Windows: Handle timeouts and returning the proper
     status code when a connect is in progress. [Bill Stoddard]

  *) apr_connect() on Unix: Handle EINTR during connect().  Handle timeouts.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Handle the weird case where getpwnam() returns NULL but errno is zero.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add apr_file_flags_get() which returns the flags that were originally
     passed in to apr_file_open().  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Added APR_HAS_XTHREAD_FILES macro that indicates whether or not the
     platform handles files opened in APR_XTHREAD mode natively.  Currently
     only Win32 has such native support.  [Cliff Woolley]

  *) Fix gmt offset handling on Solaris.  Apache log messages now show
     local time again. PR #7902 [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]

  *) apr_pstrcat() optimizations [Doug MacEachern, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Make the apr_pool_is_ancestor logic public.  This is required for 
     some new logic that is going into HTTPD.  I have left the join logic
     in that function debug only.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Clean up Win32 locks when the pool goes away.
     [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]

  *) Implement apr_get_home_directory for Win32.  [William Rowe]

  *) Complete the implementation of LARGEFILE support on Win32, although
     the mmap semantics still need a touch of work.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix the APR_XTHREAD support, and apr_sendfile mechanics, so we can
     handle cross-threaded file handles on Win32.  [William Rowe]

  *) Implement APR_READWRITE locks on Unix with POSIX rwlocks.
     Introduce new apr_lock_acquire_rw() function which takes in 
     APR_READER or APR_WRITER.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Add apr_open_stdin.  This mirrors apr_open_stderr, except it works
     on stdin.  [Aaron Bannert <abannert@ebuilt.com>]

  *) Add apr_strtok(), a thread-safe flavor of strtok() which has the
     same interface as strtok_r().  [Jeff Trawick]
     
  *) Add other child support to Win32 [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Other-child registrations are automatically removed when the
     associated pool is destroyed.  This avoids garbage in the list
     of registrations when a pool with a registration is freed.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Allow LTFLAGS to be overridden by the configure command-line 
     (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Add memory code kindly donated to APR by  
       Elrond  <elrond@samba-tng.org> 
       Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@samba-tng.org>
       Sander Striker <striker@samba-tng.org>
     [David Reid]

  *) Fix a problem with the FreeBSD flavor of apr_sendfile() where we 
     could return APR_EAGAIN+bytes_sent.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a problem on unixware where clearing h_errno wouldn't work.
     Use set_h_errno() instead.  PR #7651  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add the test and build directories (when present) to the recursive
     make process, being sure that they are run last.  test is only done
     recursively for make *clean targets.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Make the apr_mmap_create() function use the native_flags variable.
     This allows us to actually create WRITEABLE MMAPs.
     [Ed Korthof <ed@apache.org>]

  *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
     variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
     the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables.  Also, allow the user
     to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
     need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM.  Fix the setting
     of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES.  Check flags as they are added to
     avoid pointless duplications.  Fix the order in which flags are given
     on the compile and link lines.  [Roy Fielding]
 
  *) Fix DSO code on HP/UX.  We have to use == not =, and it makes more
     sense to actually return errno, so that the return code means 
     something.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Clean up conditionals in unix DSO code so that we decide based on
     the dynamic loading implementation, which we noticed at configure
     time, instead of by operating system.
     [Wilfredo Sanchez]

  *) Add DSO support for dyld platforms (Darwin/Mac OS and OpenStep).
     [Wilfredo Sanchez]

  *) Amend the time code to better deal with time zones.
     [David Reid]

  *) Carefully select an appropriate native type for apr_int64_t and
     define its format as APR_INT64_T_FMT and literal using APR_INT64_C().
     [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]

  *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
     Gnu makefile guidelines.  [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@ebuilt.com>]

  *) Initial implementation of of apr_filepath (get/set/parse_root and 
     merge) for Windows.  [William Rowe]

  *) Cleaned up implementation of of apr_filepath (get/set/parse_root
     and merge) for Unix.  [Greg Stein, William Rowe]

  *) Fixup the --enable-libtool option.  This allows the test directory
     to compile again.  The test directory still doesn't work when
     APR is configured without libtool.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) If we don't have sigwait() in the system, see if sigsuspend() is
     available, and use that instead. [Wilfredo Sanchez]

  *) Make libtool optional at configure time.  This is done with 
     --disable-libtool.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Recognize systems where the TCP_NODELAY setting is inherited from
     the listening socket, and optimize apr_setsockopt(APR_TCP_NODELAY)
     accordingly.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Recognize the presence of getnameinfo() on Tru64.  [David Reid]

  *) Allow APR to be installed. [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Generate config.nice for easy re-run of configure. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Define preprocessor flags in CPPFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and
     bring some sanity to the compiler command-lines. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Use the dso/aix subdirectory for older versions of AIX and fix 
     a number of bugs in the dso code in that directory.
     [Victor Orlikowski]

  *) Allow libtool 1.3b to be used.  [Victor Orlikowski]

  *) Misc. Win32 fixes: Set the pool pointer in apr_sockaddr_t 
     structures created with the apr_socket_t to prevent segfault 
     in certain apps.  Flush unwritten buffered data when the file 
     is closed.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Win32: Get APR to compile with MSVC 5.0 (a.k.a. VC97).
     PR #7489  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) First draft implementation of apr_filepath (get/set/parse_root
     and merge) for Unix.  [William Rowe]

  *) Add apr_ipsubnet_create() and apr_ipsubnet_test() for testing
     whether or not an address is within a subnet.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add apr_sendto and apr_recvfrom for Unix.  Start of adding UDP
     support.  [David Reid]

  *) Add a method to get the password from the system for a given
     user.  [John Barbee <jbarbee@covalent.net>]

  *) Change the include path order, so that we look for included files
     in the APR paths first, and the system paths second.
     [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]

  *) Add a with-sendfile option, so that people on platforms without a
     sendfile implementation for APR can easily disable it from the 
     configure line.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Change the check for netinet/tcp.h to work around an issue with
     that header file on IRIX 6.5 which prevented it from being
     detected.  PR #6459  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Introduce apr_get_userid to return a named user's apr_uid_t and
     apr_gid_t across platforms [Cliff Woolley, William Rowe]

  *) In apr_shm_init(), check the retcode from mm_malloc().  Previously,
     we segfaulted here if mm_malloc() failed to get a lock.  An example
     error scenario is when the lock file lives on a filesystem which
     doesn't support locking.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Name protected the autoconf macros defined by APR.  Moved the
     REENTRANCY_FLAGS settings into apr_hints.m4. Inlined the
     APR_PREPARE_MM_DIR macro because it could only be used once.
     Removed the unused macros MY_TRY_RUN, MY_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, and
     AC_USE_FUNCTION.  Added some macro comments.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Cope with BSDi installations where the default make has been
     replaced with GNU make.  [Joe Orton <joe@manyfish.co.uk>]

  *) Changed apr/helpers to apr/build to be consistent with other Apache
     source trees.  Added make variables to rules.mk.in that point to the
     builders directory and its scripts.  Updated buildconf, configure.in,
     and Makefile.in files to create and use the new scripts.  Moved scandoc
     to scandoc.pl and its default.pl template to scandoc_template.pl.
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Updated config.guess and config.sub to GNU libtool 1.3.5 features,
     with the Apache additions for OS/390 and OS/2 emx.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Moved hints.m4, apr_common.m4, and helpers/apr-conf.m4 into the
     new build directory as apr_hints.m4, apr_common.m4, apr_network.m4,
     and apr_threads.m4.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Get apr_sendfile() working on HP-UX.  This gets APR to build on
     HP-UX without having to turn off APR_HAS_SENDFILE.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Force FreeBSD to compile without threads by default.  To enable
     threads, use --enable-threads on the configure line.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Purge system password buffer before returning from apr_password_get.
     No longer abuses bufsize argument on return.  [William Rowe]

  *) Moved the prototypes for apr_snprintf and apr_vsnprintf to the
     apr_strings.h header, from apr_lib.h.  This location makes more
     sense.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Added the APR_TRY_COMPILE_NO_WARNING configure macro for testing a
     compile with -Werror as well as the APR_CHECK_ICONV_INBUF macro to
     test for annoying iconv prototype differences.
     [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding]

  *) Fix a problem with configure on NetBSD.  We must include sys/types.h
     for some platforms.  [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun@kame.net>]

  *) Some fixes in the Win32 time support.
     (IsLeapYear): New macro for quickly figgerin' out if a given year is a 
     leap year. (SystemTimeToAprExpTime): Perform the calculation of
     tm_yday.  Also, negate the sign of the tm_gmtoff field to be
     consistent with Unix platforms and APR header file comments.
     [Mike Pilato]

  *) Implement WinNT Unix'ish permissions. [William Rowe]

  *) Corrected an OS2'ism of apr_get_home_directory.  OS2 now returns the
     proper directory, including the user's name.

  *) Removed private os2errno.h and integrated the OS2 network error codes
     into apr_errno.h for optimized error tests (APR_STATUS_IS_EFOO(rv)).
     [William Rowe]

  *) Moved inclusion of <os2.h> header from multiple modules into apr.h
     [William Rowe]

  *) Added apr_compare_users() and apr_compare_groups() for more complex
     apr_uid_t and apr_gid_t structures.  Enabled both .user and .group
     results from WinNT/2000 stat/getfileinfo, but expect to find that 
     .group is 'None' in most cases.  [William Rowe]

  *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using the environment
     variable OPTIM instead.  This is needed because configure options
     do not support multiple flags separated by spaces.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Eliminate the APR_SIG* aliases for standard signal names,
     since they serve no useful purpose.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Abstracted apr_get_username and apr_get_groupname for unix and win32.
     Modified Win32 apr_uid_t and apr_gid_t to use PSIDs, and elimintated
     the uid_t and gid_t definitions.  [William Rowe]

  *) Radically refactored apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo/dir_read for Win32
     to assure we are retrieving what we expect to retrieve, and reporting
     the correct result (APR_SUCCESS or APR_INCOMPLETE).  The potential
     for a bit more optimization still remains.  [William Rowe]

  *) While we have the future opportunity to cache the apr_stat'ed file
     handle for a very fast open (dup handle) on Win32, patched to close
     that file after a stat always.  Needs a new semantic before we leave
     handles dangling when the user intends to rm.  [William Rowe]

  *) Correct Win32 apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo/dir_read to all zero out
     the finfo buffer on success (or incomplete success).  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix Win32/Unix apr_lstat to throw the .valid bit APR_FINFO_LINK to
     indicate we attempted to open the link.  Only the .filetype APR_LNK
     reflects if the file found was, in fact, a link.   [William Rowe]

  *) Fixed apr_open and apr_rename to function on Win9x.
     [Mike Pilato <cmpilato@collab.net>] 
  
  *) Add apr_open_stdout.  This mirrors apr_open_stderr, except it works
     on stdout.  [cmpilato@collab.net]

  *) Fix bug in file_io/unix/dir.c.  There is no such thing as a dirent,
     it must be a struct dirent.  
     [Kevin Pilch-Bisson <kevin@pilch-bisson.net>]

  *) Fix the configure script so that we can build from a different
     directory.  [Kevin Pilch-Bisson <kevin@pilch-bisson.net>]

  *) Introduce the wanted flag argument to the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo
     family of functions.  This change allows the user to determine what
     platform-specific file information is retrieved, to optimize both
     portability and performance.  [William Rowe]

  *) Fix make depend.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) All dso implementations now register a cleanup to unload the DSO
     when it is loaded.  If the pool is removed, we really do need to
     remove the DSO.  In the past, different platforms behaved differently
     it this respect.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Add linkage declarations to the DSO code.
     [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]

  *) Some adjustment of hints.m4 setting flags (used to check if null
     first) and added some verbosity. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Specify APR_DECLARE to some of the APR functions.  This helps linking
     on some operating systems.  [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]

  *) Libtool'ized APR and converted all the makefiles to share rules
     from helpers/rules.mk. [Greg Stein]

  *) Remove a warning on FreeBSD.  FreeBSD defines TCP_NO_PUSH, but we
     don't actually use it.  This causes os_cork to be defined but not
     used.  This patch keeps us from defining os_cork and os_uncork on
     FreeBSD.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Keep apr_terminate from seg faulting on terminate.  This is
     happening on systems that do not NULL out locks when they are
     destroyed.  To keep this from happening, we set the locks to
     NULL after destroying them in apr_terminate, and we have to 
     check for NULL in free_blocks.  
     [Allan Edwards and Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]

  *) Remove the ability to allocate memory out of a NULL pool.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Add an APR_GET_POOL macro to get a pool from any APR type that has
     a pool.  This requires that ALL apr types put the pool as the first
     field in their structure. [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Begin to remove the ability to allocate out of NULL pools.  The first
     problem to solve, is that we need an apr_lock in order to allocate
     pools, so that we can lock things out when allocating.  So, how do we
     allocate locks without a pool to allocate from?  The answer is to create
     a global_apr_pool, which is a bootstrapping pool.  There should NEVER
     be a sub-pool off this pool, and it is static to an APR file.  This is
     only used to allow us to allocate the locks cleanly, without using the
     NULL pool hack.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Fix a logic error in the poll code when implemented using select.
     [Nick Caruso <ncaruso@gamesville.com>]

  *) FreeBSD does not support sendfile() in combination with threads
     before version 4.2.  We no longer even try to support it.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) On FreeBSD, it is possible for the first call to sendfile to
     get EAGAIN, but still send some data.  This means that we cannot
     call sendfile and then check for EAGAIN, and then wait and call
     sendfile again.  If we do that, then we are likely to send the
     first chunk of data twice, once in the first call and once in the
     second.  If we are using a timed write, then we check to make sure
     we can send data before trying to send it. [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Cleanup to help Apache support programs build cleanly.
     [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]

  *) Cleanup some compiler warnings on Solaris
     [Dale Ghent <daleg@elemental.org>]

  *) apr_getaddrinfo() can now return multiple addresses for a host
     via the next field in apr_sockaddr_t.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Tighten up the check for getaddrinfo().  If it can't figure out
     the appropriate address family for 127.0.0.1, it fails.  
     Unfortunately, Tru64 fails this test so we won't do IPv6 on
     Tru64.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Rename apr_opendir to apr_dir_open.  [Ryan Bloom]

  *) apr_snprintf()'s %pI format string now takes apr_sockaddr_t *
     instead of sockaddr_in *.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a bug in apr_accept() for Win32 and Unix where the local 
     apr_sockaddr_t in the new connected socket was not initialized
     properly.  This could result in a bad string for apr_get_ipaddr(),
     among other things.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add apr_getnameinfo(), a replacement for apr_get_hostname() which
     supports IPv6 and will be friendlier for use with eventual 
     SOCK_DGRAM support.  apr_get_hostname() is gone.  [Jeff Trawick]

Changes with APR a9

  *) Removed the iconv implementation from the i18n/unix/iconv branch.
     This now resides in the apr-iconv repository, and will be ported
     over time to use native apr types (e.g. apr_dso) for portability.

  *) Only support IPv6 if we have sockaddr_in and a working 
     getaddrinfo().  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add apr_parse_addr_port() for parsing the hostname:port portion
     of URLs and similar strings.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add Win32 MMAP support [William Rowe]

  *) Allow the APR programmer to specify if the MMAP is read-only or
     write-able.
     [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe]

  *) Check more carefully for getaddrinfo().  Accept those that
     require <netdb.h> to be included (e.g., Tru64).  Reject those that 
     fail a very basic operational test (e.g., AIX).  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add apr_make_os_sock() for constructing a fully-capable APR
     socket.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Make APR's shared memory routines always allocate enough memory
     for the requested segment, the MM internal types, and the APR
     internal types.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Add APR_SIZE_T_FMT.  Get the other APR_xx_T_FMT variables
     defined properly on AIX.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) network API changes: get rid of apr_get_socket_inaddr(), 
     apr_get_remote_name(), and apr_get_local_name()  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add a step at configure time to create a file at the top-level,
     apr.exports, which lists every function exported by APR.  The
     file is generated by a script in helpers, that reads each header
     file.
     [Ryan Bloom]

  *) Lock config changes: Detect SysV sem capability by the presence of
     sempaphore functions, not by the presence of union semun.  New
     config variable apr_lock_method can override autodetection of the 
     apr_lock implementation method.  For now, hints.m4 uses it to select 
     SysV semaphores for OS/390.  New config variable 
     apr_process_lock_is_global specifies that the selected inter-process
     lock method is sufficient for APR_LOCKALL (i.e., it blocks all
     threads and processes).  For now, hints.m4 turns on this flag for
     OS/390.  [Jeff Trawick]
     
  *) Get APR_OFF_T_FMT defined properly on Solaris Sparc.
     [Jeff Trawick]

Changes with APR a8
  *) Change the name of the sa_len field in apr_sockaddr_t to salen.
     Some platforms have a macro named sa_len.
     [Tony Finch]

  *) apr_set_port(), apr_get_port(), apr_set_ipaddr(), and apr_get_ipaddr()
     now take apr_sockaddr_t as a parameter instead of apr_socket_t +
     apr_interface_e.  This will allow the same routines to be used with
     datagram APIs to be added later.  Note that code which calls 
     apr_set_ipaddr() should probably be changed to call apr_getaddrinfo()
     for protocol independence.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) apr_create_tcp_socket() has been removed.  Use apr_create_socket()
     instead.  [Jeff Trawick]
