   Thanks to Philip Mak for reporting.

 - Couple of minor bug fixes under PerlWarn use, thanks Peter Galbavy
   for reporting.

 + Added automatic load of "use Apache2" for compat with mod_perl2 
   request objects when Apache::ASP is loaded via "PerlModule Apache::ASP"
   Thanks to Richard Curtis for reporting bug & subsequent testing.

 - When GlobalPackage config changes, but global.asa has not, global.asa
   will be recompiled anyway to update the GlobalPackage correctly.
   Changing GlobalPackage before would cause errors if global.asa was
   already compiled.

 ++ For ANY PerlSetVar type config, OFF/Off/off will be assumed 
    to have value of 0 for that setting.  Before, only a couple settings
    had this semantics, but they all do now for consistency.

 - Fix for InodeNames config on OpenBSD, or any OS that might have
   a device # of 0 for the file being stat()'d, thanks to Peter Galbavy
   for bug report.

 ++ Total XSLT speedups, 5-10% on large XSLT, 10-15% on small XSLT

 + bypass meta data check like expires for XSLT Cache() API use
   because XSLT tranformations don't expire, saves hit to cache dbm
   for meta data

 + use of direct Apache::ASP::State methods like FETCH/STORE
   in Cache() layer so we don't have to go through slower tied interface.
   This will speed up XSLT & and include output caching mostly.

 + minor optimizations for speed & memory usage

 -- bug introduced in 2.47 cached script compilations for executing
    scripts ( not includes ) of the same name in different directories
    for the same Global/GlobalPackage config for an application.
    Fix was to remove optimization that caused problem, and
    created test case t/same_name.t to cover bug.

 ++ Runtime speed enhancements for 15-20% improvement including:
   + INTERNAL API ReadFile() now returns scalar ref as memory optimization
   + cache InodeNames config setting in ASP object now for common lookups
   + removed CompileChecksum() INTERNAL API, since it was an unnecesary
     method decomposition along a common code path
   + removed IsChanged() INTERNAL API since compiling of scripts
     is now handled by CompileInclude() which does this functionality already
   + removed unnecessary decomp of IncludesChanged() INTERNAL API, which was along
     critical code path
   + do not call INTERNAL SearchDirs() API when compiling base script
     since we have already validated its path earlier
   + Use stat(_) type shortcut for stat() &amp; -X calls where possible
   + Moved @INC initilization up to handler() &amp; consolidated with $INCDir lib
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::Collection::DESTROY
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::Server::DESTROY
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::GlobalASA::DESTROY
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::Response::DESTROY

 - Default path for $Response-&gt;{Cookies} was from CookiePath
   config, but this was incorrect as CookiePath config is only
   for $Session cookie, so now path for $Response-&gt;{Cookies}
   defaults to /

 - Fixed bug where global.asa events would get undefined with
   StatINC and GlobalPackage set when the GlobalPackage library
   changed &amp; get reloaded.

 (d) Documented long time config NoCache.

 -- Fixed use with Apache::Filter, capable as both source
    and destination filter.  Added <a href=eg/filter.filter>./site/eg/filter.filter</a> example
    to demonstrate these abilities.

 + Use $r-&gt;err_headers_out-&gt;add Apache::Table API for cookies 
   now instead of $r-&gt;cgi_header_out.  Added t/cookies.t test to 
   cover new code path as well as general $Response-&gt;Cookies API.
   Also make cookies headers sorted by cookie and dictionary key 
   while building headers for repeatable behavior, this latter was 
   to facilitate testing.

 - fixed $Server-&gt;Mail error_log output when failing to connect
   to SMTP server.

 + added tests to cover UniquePackages &amp; NoCache configs since this
   config logic was updated

 + made deprecated warnings for use of certain $Response-&gt;Member
   calls more loudly write to error_log, so I can remove the AUTOLOAD
   for Response one day

 - Probably fixed behavior in CgiHeaders, at least under perl 5.8.0, and
   added t/cgi_headers.t to cover this config.

 + removed $Apache::ASP::CompressGzip setting ability, used to possibly
   set CompressGzip in the module before, not documented anyway

 + removed $Apache::ASP::Filter setting ability to set Filter globally, 
   not documented anyway

 + removed old work around for setting ServerStarting to 0
   at runtime, which was bad for Apache::DBI on win32 a long
   time ago:

    $Apache::ServerStarting and $Apache::ServerStarting = 0;

   If this code is still needed in Apache::ASP-&gt;handler() let
   me know.

 + check to make sure data in internal database is a HASH ref
   before using it for session garbage collection.  This is to
   help prevent against internal database corruption in a
