[ANNOUNCE] mod_perl-1.28

The URL

http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.28.tar.gz

has entered CPAN as

file: $CPAN/authors/id/G/GO/GOZER/mod_perl-1.28.tar.gz
size: 375986 bytes
md5: 889ad726a6d7c2fe03b2b1b93662f515

Changes since 1.27:

Apache::FakeRequest now isa Apache so code that is carefull about
$r and checks that $r->isa('Apache') will not fail [David Wheeler
<david [at] kineticode]

Add Mac OS X support to Apache::SizeLimit [David Wheeler
<david [at] kineticode>]

Add Win32 support to Apache::SizeLimit [Matt Phillips
<mphillips [at] virage> and Mohamed Hendawi <mhendawi [at] virage>]

Change Apache::SizeLimit to not push a cleanup handler if already in
the cleanup handler phase, and adjust docs to show that cleanup
handler is the preferred phase to use [Perrin Harkins
<perrin [at] elem>]

Rename Apache::test to Apache::testold because Apache::test on
case-insensitive systems will collide with Apache::Test which
supercedes Apache::test. So if you want to keep on using Apache::test,
either bundle it with your project (putting it under inc/ or t/ so it
won't be installed) or require mod_perl 1.28 and use Apache::testold
instead. Of course the best route is to port your test suite to use
a much better Apache::Test which work with mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0.
[Philippe M. Chiasson, Stas Bekman]

Tweak mod_perl.h to defined _INCLUDE_APACHE_FIRST only after apache
headers were included [Stas Bekman]

avoid various warnings under src/modules/perl/:
- declare bufsiz to be STRLEN in Apache.xs, and add
STRLEN to Apache/typemap
- add I32 typecast in Constants.xs
- avoid use of unregistered local variables for Win32
in mod_perl.c and perl_config.c
- s/I32/U8/ in mod_perl.h, perl_config.c, and perl_util.c
- declare i and http_code to be STRLEN in perl_util.c
[Stas Bekman, Randy Kobes]

don't use $r variable in Apache::PerlRun::compile(), so the script
won't use use inherited $r by mistake [Stas Bekman]

define PERL_DIRECTIVE_HANDLERS so that ModuleConfig.c gets
generated when building on Win32 within Visual Studio
[John Petrakis <jpetrakis [at] rcn>]

enable PERL_SECTIONS for Win32 [Dirk Maetens <dirk.maetens [at] chello>]

use touch() from ExtUtils::Command, rather than a system touch(),
for the benefit of platforms without touch(). [Randy Kobes
<randy [at] theoryx5>]

can't let the default typemap rule to convert sv into char* in
unescape_url, since it doesn't handle correctly undefs (returns an
unallocated "" string, which then causes a segfault in
ap_unescape_url. use SvPV_force, instead, which does the right
thing. [Stas Bekman]

Make sure to start perl, if it's not running, before processing Perl*
directives, with threaded perl and PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=0 [Stas
Bekman]

Add Apache::Module to Bundle::Apache [Stas Bekman]

use $Config{'installstyle'} instead of hardcoded 'lib', to handle
Makefile.PL's PREFIX option correctly [Philippe M. Chiasson
<gozer [at] cpan>]

prevent segfaults in mod_perl_mark_where() when a sub can't get
resolved [Gerald Richter <richter [at] ecos>]

Apache::Status: Need to load B::Terse/TerseSize if it wasn't loaded
yet in that child before using it. [Dan Sully
<daniel [at] electricrain>]

document the server_root_relative() method [Stas Bekman
<stas [at] stason>]

eliminate warnings when flushing functions with empty () prototypes in
Apache::PerlRun::flush_namespace [Yair Lenga <yair.lenga [at] citigroup>]

fix Apache::Status to not use :: in filenames, which is not allowed on
certain OSs [DH <crazyinsomniac [at] yahoo>]

various cygwin fixes [Per Einar Ellefsen <per.einar [at] skynet>]

fix to compile with 5.8.0 on win32 [Randy Kobes

I still get the same test failures that I reported before when RC2 was
announced:

modules/request.......FAILED tests 3-8
Failed 6/10 tests, 40.00% okay

Setup: Windows XP, Perl 5.8.0, Apache 1.3.27, Apache-Test 1.03,
libapreq-1.2 (built/installed *after* mod_perl 1.28).

I used to have "All tests successful" under mp-1.27.

(I note that Apache::Reload didn't make it in either; I thought the plan
was to put a backport of the version from mp2 into it?)

No, I didn't commit it. The patch shouldn't affect any other
platform, but before committing it it would be good to, first of
all, see if someone can see a better way and/or can see if
there's something wrong in principle with it, and secondly, to
get some further testing of it on other machines and also outside
of the mod_perl tests (which all pass). For example, it would be
interesting to see if the problems Steve finds with the
t/request.t tests on 5.8.0 without LARGE_FILES support are still
there - the mod_perl tests I did were without libapreq, so the
t/request.t (and t/cookie.t) tests were skipped.

This may be a problem with libapreq - the mod_perl
t/modules/request.t tests, among other things, the sizes involved
with file uploads. The error log you posted earlier reported a
difference in these sizes for three (text) files, with a binary
(gif) file apparently OK (interestingly, with a patch I posted
earlier to allow Win32 ActivePerl 8xx to be used with mod_perl 1
(with LARGE_FILES support), I get a failure with the gif file,
but not the text files). Anyway, could you see if the following
helps (applied to the libapreq sources)? For me, this allows all
the mod_perl t/modules/request tests to pass.

Yes, this fixes it for me.

All the mod_perl 1.28 tests now pass (and all the libapreq 1.2 tests
still pass as well).

Thanks!

After discussing this at length with Stas, we decided it would be
simpler to release 1.28 as-is (since it's been almost a year since the
last release) and quicken the release milestone of 1.29 to include
Apache::Reltoad and a whole bunch of other 'controversial' unresolved
issues.

So, Apache::Reload did not make it, but:

1. it is on CPAN
2. Apache::StatINC is still in
3. mod_perl-1.29 will have Apache::Reload
4. mod_perl-1.29 will be released soon

So, that's what it'll be for now folks !

Absolutely! And Randy, as soon as you are happy with both a patch and
satisfactory test results (in your opinion), I'd say commit++

Thanks ... I've tested running a few mod_perl 1 things now on
ActivePerl 806 with this patch, and it seems OK. This includes
Apache-ASP and HTML-Mason, as well as some XS-based packages like
Embperl, AxKit, libapreq, and Apache-Template that link against
mod_perl. There's a few apparent pecularities, but they may be
particular to my system, specifically trying to coexist with
mod_perl 2. So I'll commit the patch, and we'll see how it fares.
