=item 2.0.9-rc1

Add support for Apache httpd-2.4.x. [Torsten Foertsch, Jan Kaluza,
Steve Hay, Gozer]

Don't call modperl_threaded_mpm() et al. from XS code. Fixes Debian Bug
#765174. [Niko Tyni <[email protected]>]

Make sure modperl_interp_select uses r->server rather than the passed s
parameter to find the interpreter pool to pull an interpreter from. This
fixes an issue with vhosts with a separate interpreter pool and runtime
dir-config merges that used to pull the interpreter from the wrong pool.
[Torsten Foertsch]

PerlInterpScope is now more advisory. Using $(c|r)->pnotes will bind
the current interpreter to that object for it's lifetime.
$(c|r)->pnotes_kill() can be used to prematurely drop pnotes and
remove this binding. [Torsten Foertsch]

Now correctly invokes PerlCleanupHandlers, even if they are the only
handler type configured for that request [Torsten Foertsch]

For threaded MPMs, change interpreter managment to a new, reference-counted
allocation model. [Torsten Foertsch]

Expose modperl_interp_pool_t via ModPerl::InterpPool, modperl_tipool_t
via ModPerl::TiPool and modperl_tipool_config_t via ModPerl::TiPoolConfig
[Torsten Foertsch]

Expose modperl_interp_t via ModPerl::Interpreter [Torsten Foertsch]

Fix t/compat/apache_file.t on Windows. Apache::File->tmpfile() wants TMPDIR
or TEMP from the environment, or else defaults to /tmp. The latter is no
good on Windows, so make sure the environment variables are passed through.
(TEMP should be set to something suitable on Windows.) [Steve Hay]

Fix t/api/err_headers_out.t with HTTP::Headers > 6.00. [Rolando
<[email protected]>]

Fix the build with VC++ and dmake (rather than nmake) on Windows. The
Makefile generated by Apache2::Build uses shell commands for the manifest
file, but neglected to tell dmake to use the shell. [Steve Hay]

Don't write an 'rpm' target into the Makefile on Windows. It isn't relevant
on Windows, and the (hard-coded, not MakeMaker-generated) recipe group has
syntax which dmake doesn't understand. [Steve Hay]
