add need_php4() and have_php4() which will return true when mod_php4
is available.  also, tidy up need_php() and have_php() for PHP4 on
Apache 2.0.  [Joe Orton]

add new test_config make target, equivalent to t/TEST -conf,
and make it a prerequisite for the cmodules make target.  now
you can 'make cmodules' to build the things in c-modules/
without running t/TEST -conf first.  [Geoffrey Young]

add -withtestmore import action, which allows Test::More >= 0.49
to replace Test.pm as the engine for server-side tests
[Geoffrey Young]

add automatic core dump backtrace generation in t/REPORT if
Devel::GDB is installed [Gozer]

add 'testcover' make target for running tests with Devel::Cover
[Geoffrey Young]



=item 1.14 - October 12, 2004

improve the same_interpreter framework to handle response failures
while trying to init and later find out the same interpreter. [Stas]

make sure that 'make distclean' cleans all the autogenerated files
[Stas]

make sure that if -maxclients option is passed on the command line,
minclients will never be bigger than that value [Stas]

add -one-process runtime argument, which will start the server
in single-server mode (httpd -X in Apache 1.X or 
httpd -D ONE_PROCESS in 2.X) [Geoffrey Young]

In open_cmd, sanitize PATH instead of clearing it [Gozer]

Allow / \ and \\ path delimiters in SKIP file [Markus Wichitill
<mawic@gmx.de>]

Added an apxs query cache for improved test performance [Gozer]

run_tests make target no longer invokes t/TEST -clean, making it
possible to save a few development cycles when a full cleanup is
not required between runs.  [Geoffrey Young] 

Apache::TestSmoke imrovements: [Stas]
 o the command line option -iterations=N should always be respected
   (previously it was internally overriden for order!='random').
 o since IPC::Run3 broke the Ctrl-C handler, we started to loose any
   intermediate results, should the run be aborted. So for now, try to
   always store those results in the temp file:
   smoke-report...$iter.temp

fix 'require blib' in scripts to also call 'blib->import', required to
have an effect under perl 5.6.x. [Stas]

don't allow running an explicit 'perl Makefile.PL', when Apache-Test
is checked out into the modperl-2.0 tree, since it then decides that
it's a part of the modperl-2.0 build and will try to use modperl
httpd/apxs arguments which could be unset or wrong [Stas]

Fix skip test suite functionality in the interactive configuration
phase [Stas]

s/die/CORE::die/ after exec() to avoid warnings (and therefore
failures) when someone overrides CORE::die when using Apache-Test
[William McKee, Stas]

Overrode Module::Build's "testcover" action in Apache::TestMB to
prevent the Apache::Test sticky preference files from being included
in the coverage report. [David]




=item 1.13 - Aug 20, 2004

move the custom config code into Apache::TestConfig, split the config
object creation in 2 parts - first not requiring the knowledge of
httpd location, the second requiring one, refactor the custom config
interactive prompting into the second phase, if failed to find
httpd. Reshuffle the code to run first bits not requiring the
knowledge of httpd location. [Stas]

fix Apache::TestCommonPost::lwp_do to work with LWP 5.800
($res->content() doesn't allow CODE refs anymore, instead used
content_ref to avoid huge strings copy) [Stas]

add @PHP_MODULE@ extra.conf.in substitution variable, which selects
mod_php4 or mod_php5 as appropriate.  [Geoffrey Young]

the have() function was removed entirely - use need() instead.
[Geoffrey Young]

add need() and need_* variant functions (need_module(), need_apache(),
etc) for use specifically with plan() to decide whether or not a test
should run.  have_* variants (have_module(), have_apache(), etc) are
now specifically for use outside of plan(), although they can continue
to be used within plan() without fear of current tests breaking.
[Geoffrey Young]

add need_php() and have_php() which will return true when either
mod_php4 or mod_php5 are available, providing functionality similar to 
need_cgi() and have_cgi().
[Geoffrey Young]

Add APACHE_TEST_EXTRA_ARGS make variable to all invocations to t/TEST
to allow passing extra arguments from the command line. [Gozer]

When APACHE_TEST_NO_STICKY_PREFERENCES=1 is used don't even try to
interactively configure the server, as we don't save any config it was
entering an infinite loop. [Stas]

If a directory t/lib exists from where the tests are run, adjust
@INC so that this directory is added when running the tests,
both within t/TEST and within t/conf/modperl_inc.pl.
This allows inclusion of modules specific to the tests that 
aren't intended to be installed. [Stas, Randy]

make a special case for threaded mpm configuration, to ensure that
unless maxclients was specified, MaxClients will be exactly twice
bigger than ThreadsPerChild (minclients), since if we don't do that,
Apache will reduce MaxClients to the same value as
ThreadsPerChild. [Stas]

Renamed generate_test_script() to generate_script() in Apache::TestMB
to match the naming convention used in Apache::TestMM and elsewhere.
[David]

Apache::TestMB now only prints the "Generating test running script"
message if verbosity is enabled (e.g., by passing --verbose when
executing Build.PL). [David]

Fixed the "requests_redirectable" parameter to
Apache::TestRequest::user_agent() so that it works as docmented when
passed a negative value. [Boris Zentner]

Documented support for passing an array reference to the
"requests_redirectable" parameter to Apache::TestRequest::user_agent()
to be passed to LWP::UserAgent if LWP ist installed. [David]


=item 1.12 - June 28, 2004

Force projects that use Apache::TestReportPerl to implement
report_to() if they use t/REPORT in their projects. [Stas]

Add redirect tests [David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]

add -no-httpd runtime option to allow tests to run without configuring,
starting, or stopping Apache.  this essentially provides a direct
Test::Harness interface through t/TEST, useful for running single tests
that do not depend on Apache.  [Geoffrey Young]

Add support for Module::Build, with a new module: Apache::TestMB (a
"clone" of Apache::TestMM for ExtUtils::MakeMaker). [David Wheeler
