Config::ApacheFormat 1.2
========================

CHANGES

    - Nathan Wiger ported many features from Apache::ConfigFile in an
      effort to combine the two modules.  These features include:

        o The fix_booleans option, which allows automatic conversion
          of yes/on/true to 1 and no/off/false to 0

        o The expand_vars option, allowing reuse of previously-defined
          directives as $directive

        o The setenv_vars option, which will automatically place
          variables defined via the SetEnv directive into the %ENV
          hash

        o The hash_directives option, which allows proper handling of
          directives where the first value is really a key
          (ex. AddHandler).

        o The duplicate_directives option, which allows the programmer
          to choose how duplicate directives are handled (by default
          the last one is kept, allowing subsequent configs to
          override earlier Includes)

        o Support for multiple blocks with the same name.

        o Support for include directories and multiple include files
          on a single line

        o The root_directive option, which allows the user to define a
          root for that config file which is prepended to relative
          Include paths.

    - Added include_directives option to allow for differently named
      Include directives.

    - Removed deprecated support for the wrong spelling of
      inheritance_support as inheritence_support.

    - Fixed bug preventing mixed-case valid_directives and
      valid_blocks from working.

DESCRIPTION

    This module is designed to parse a configuration file in the same syntax
    used by the Apache web server (see http://httpd.apache.org for details).
    This allows you to build applications which can be easily managed by
    experienced Apache admins. Also, by using this module, you'll benefit
    from the support for nested blocks with built-in parameter inheritance.
    This can greatly reduce the amount or repeated information in your
    configuration files.
