APACHE PORTABLE RUNTIME (APR) LIBRARY STATUS: -*-text-*-
Last modified at [$Date: 2001/01/18 04:34:43 $]
Release:
2.0a9 : released ...
2.0a8 : released November 20, 2000

2.0a6 : released August 18, 2000

2.0a2 : released March 31, 2000
2.0a1 : released March 10, 2000
RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
* Many linkage errors are gpfaulting Apache/win32 in various configs
(load mod_dav, for example.) Must complete the APR_DECLARES
Gregory Nicholes is working on this, with quick response from rbb
Will Rowe will fold over the libapr.dsp into it's own library
and remove the exports from the simple apr.dsp once it's done.
* Replace APR_GET_POOL macro with a typesafe mechanism to get the pool
from an APR (incomplete) type.
RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
* SysV semaphore support isn't usable by Apache when started as
root because we don't have a way to allow the semaphore to be
used by the configured User and Group. Current work-around:
change the initial permissions to 0666. Needed code: See
1.3's http_main.c, SysV sem flavor of accept_mutex_init().
Status: Jim will look into this
* Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads
* Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions
* Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
* Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
implementations (including something like the existing data type,
plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).
Status: fanf is working on this.
* add a version number to apr_initialize() as an extra failsafe against
(APR) library version skew.
MsgID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10005231712380.31927-100000@nebula.lyra.org>
Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Jeff +1, Ryan +1, Tony -0(?)
* The MM library is built as static and shared library. This should
be set up to build only the required version.
* add apr_crypt() and APR_HAS_CRYPT for apps to determine whether the
crypt() function is available, and a way to call it (whether it is
located in libc, libcrypt, or libufc)
Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
* apr_dso_load() should (uniformly) add a cleanup to unload the DSO.
Currently, the per-platform DSO loading is inconsistent in this
regard.
* apr_create_lock() changes:
- It ignores the "type" parameter, so toss it.
- The fname param is allowed to be NULL on the Unix platform.
Change it to always use the passed value, and check callers.
* configure.in does post-processing on the AC_OUTPUT files (for
VPATH support). This means that config.status doesn't do the
right thing when you re-run it. We ought to revamp the makefiles
to do the right AC_SUBST stuff rather than depend upon rewriting.
Sascha: As the rewriter is a crude hack, I would not worry too
much about it. It is designed to go away once we have
a proper build system in place.
One of the perceived deficiencies of automake is that it
uses AC_SUBST too often, thereby slowing down the task of
generating Makefiles significantly, because it applies
dozens of substitutions to each Makefile. And why? Make's
built-in macro processing is much more powerful, and
combined with the include facility, generating Makefiles
becomes simpler and faster.
* use os_(un)cork in network_io/unix/sendrecv.c for FreeBSD's
sendfile implementation.
* toss the per-Makefile setup of INCLUDES; shift to rules.mk.in
Documentation that needs writing:
* API documentation
Stuff waiting for code thawing after Beta 1:
* socket options patch - this is an attempt to track and cache
the various options we have set on a socket to avoid needless
systems calls to discover if an option is set or not...
