Why doesn't it install if mp1 is installed? Now that we have a new
namespace that should not be a problem?

minor,

|
|   *** YOU WILL NEED TO MODIFY ALL YOUR CODE AFTER UPGRADING ***

path
| for your current codebase.
|

| Changes since RC4:
|
|     ******************** IMPORTANT ********************
|     this version of mod_perl is completely incompatible
|       with prior versions of mod_perl, both 1.XX and
|      1.99_XX. Please read the below changes carefully.
|     ***************************************************
|
| remove MP_INST_APACHE2 installation option and Apache2.pm - all
| mod_perl related files will now be installed so they are visible
| via standard @INC.  also, refuse to install over mod_perl 2 versions
| less than 1.999_22.  [Geoffrey Young]
|
| s/Apache::/Apache2::/g and s/mod_perl/mod_perl2/g in all module
| APIs.  so, Apache::RequestRec is now Apache2::RequestRec,
| Apache::compat is now Apache2::compat, and so on. [joes]
|
| move all Apache:: constants to Apache2::Const and all APR:: constants
| to APR::Const.  for example, Apache:OK is now Apache2::Const::OK and
| APR::SUCCESS is now APR::Const::SUCCESS.  [Geoffrey Young]
|
| add $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION} as something that clearly distinguishes
| which mod_perl version is being used at request time.  [Geoffrey Young]
|
| rename Apache->request() to Apache2::RequestUtil->request(), and
| Apache->server() to Apache2::ServerUtil->server()
| [Geoffrey Young]
|
| fix Apache2::Status which was bailing out on trying to load modules
| with dev versions like 2.121_02 [Stas]
|
| When parsing Makefile.PL MP_* options, handle correctly the MP_FOO=0
| entries [Philip M. Gollucci <pgollucci@xxxxxx.xxx>]
|
| init the anonsub hash for base perl and each vhost +Parent (previously
| was init'ed only for the base perl) [Stas]
|
| fix a bug when a non-threaded perl is used and anonymous sub is pushed
| at the server startup (the CV wasn't surviving) [Stas]
|
| Make sure that CPAN shell doesn't triple over usage of
| $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION [Randy Kobes]
|
| Apache2::RequestRec->new now sets $r->request_time [Stas]
|
| remove CGI.pm and Apache::Request dependencies from Apache2::Status
| since they weren't used at all [Geoffrey Young]
|
| Fixes for Apache2::Reload's touchfile feature (return Apache2::Const::OK
| instead of 1) [Chris Warren <chwarren@xxxxx.xxx>]
|
| cygwin fixes: [Nick *** <doink123@xxx.xx>]
| - doesn't like XS wrapper starting with 'static'
| - need to compile everything with -DCYGWIN
|
| ModPerl::RegistryCooker API change: s/rewrite_shebang/shebang_to_perl/
| the new API now returns the string to prepend before the rest of the
| script, instead of rewriting the content, which is both faster and
| doesn't mislead the perl debugger [Dominique Quatravaux
| <dom@xxxxxx.xxx>]
|
| Starting from ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.26 went back to pm_to_blib target
| from pm_to_blib.ts introduced in 6.22, so needed to fix the glue_pod
| target, so install will work correctly [Stas]
|
| Syntax errors in <Perl> sections were not correctly caught and
| reported. [Gozer]
|
| when building mp2 EU::MM looks into Apache-Test/MANIFEST and complains
| about the missing Apache-Test/META.yml (which is indeed not included
| in the modperl package due to the PAUSE problems of dealing with more
| than one META.yml. Solution: Exclude Apache-Test/MANIFEST from
| mod_perl distribution package. [Stas]
|
| ModPerl::Registry no longer checks for -x bit (we don't executed
| scripts anyway), and thus works on acl-based filesystems. Also
| replaced the -r check with a proper error handling when the file is
| read in. [Damon Buckwalter <buckwad@xxxxx.xxx>]
|
| Apache2::RequestUtil::slurp_filename now throws an APR::Error exception
| object (before it was just croaking). [Stas]
|
| fix APR::Error's overload of '==' (it was always returning true
| before), and add the corresponding '!=' [Stas]
|
| if $r->document_root was modified, restore it at the end of request
| [joes]
|
| Apache2::ServerRec method which set the non-integer fields in the
| server_rec, now copy the value from the perl scalar, so if it changes
| or goes out of scope the C struct is not affected. Using internal perl
| variables to preserve the value, since using the server pool to
| allocate the memory will mean a memory leak [Stas]
|
| add the escape_url entry in the ModPerl::MethodLookup knowledgebase
| [Stas]
|
| Apache2::SubProcess::spawn_proc_prog now can be called in a void
| context, in which case all the communication std pipes will be closed
| [Stas]
|
| fix a bug in $r->document_root, which previously weren't copying the
| new string away [Stas]
|
| introduce a new build option MP_AP_DESTDIR to aid package builders
| direct the Apache-specific files to the right place. [Cory Omand
| <Cory.Omand@xxx.xxx>]
|
| Fix bug in modperl_package_clear_stash() segfaulting when
| encountering declared but not yet defined subroutines.
| [Steve Hay <steve.hay@xx.xxxxx.xxx>, Gozer]
|
| win32 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3/PERL_SYS_TERM calls [Steve Hay
| <steve.hay@xx.xxxxx.xxx>]
|
| Fix broken MP_STATIC_EXTS=1 build. [Gozer]
|
| Perl -Duse64bit fix. Pointers can't just be generically
| casted from/to IVs. Use PTR2IV/INT2PTR instead. [Gozer]
|
| Perl -Duse64bit fix. apr_size_t pointers can't just be generically
| casted from/to UVs. Use PTR2UV/INT2PTR instead. [Gozer]
|
| fix a bug in Apache2::Build::dir: If the right directory isn't found in
| the for loop $dir still contains a > value, so the ||= has no
| effect. [Nick Wellnhofer <wellnhofer@xxxxx.xx>]
