+ and apr_skiplist_set_preheight() to modify it. [ Yann Ylavic ]
- *) File info APIs: Fix calculation of atime and mtime on AIX. PR 51146.
- [Ruediger Pluem]
+ *) Add new --enable-allocator-guard-pages which is like allocator-uses-mmap,
+ but will also add inaccessible guard pages before and after each memnode.
+ This will result in higher ressource usage but allow to find/protect
+ against certain buffer overflow/overread bugs. Under Linux, it may be
+ necessary to increase /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count . [Stefan Fritsch]
- *) Add the apr_escape interface. [Graham Leggett]

- apr_hash_this_val() for easier access to those attributes from
- a hash iterator. [Hyrum K. Wright <hyrum_wright mail.utexas.edu>]
+ *) Add apr_shm_delete() to compliment apr_shm_remove().
+ [Jim Jagielski]
- *) MinGW/MSYS: Support shared builds of APR, other general improvements
- to support of this toolchain. PR 46175. [Carlo Bramini
- <carlo.bramix libero.it>]
+ *) Intruduce APR_PERMS_SET macros for setting the owner/group on
+ objects. Currently only implemented for shm, proc and global
+ mutexes on posix platforms.
+ [Mladen Turk]
- *) Improve platform detection by updating config.guess and config.sub.
