Version: 1.024  Sat Sep 24 21:56:42 CDT 2005

 - Fixed a bug that probably only I would ever see - when running the
   "disttest" action, it was actually using the server configuration
   from the top-level distribution directory, not the dist-dir
   directory.

 - For some reason all the files in the tarball of 1.023 looks like
   they're read-only and non-executable, which causes lots of tests to
   fail (e.g. those trying to execute CGI-style scripts).  I'm
   re-releasing what looks like correct permissions. [Spotted by Tom
   Kirkpatrick]

Version: 1.023  Mon Jun  6 06:05:44 CDT 2005

 - Fixed a testing bug under (certain versions of?) Mac OS X, in which
   none of the pages in t/real.t would generate any output. [Peter
   Farmer]

        in the chain is currently executing, and calling these routines out of
        order messes up the counting.

    * $r->deterministic(1|0);
        As of version 0.07, the concept of a "deterministic" filter is
        supported. A deterministic filter is one whose output is entirely
        determined by the contents of its input file (whether the $r->filename
        file or the output of another filter), and doesn't depend at all on
        outside factors. For example, a filter that translates all its output to
        upper-case is deterministic, but a filter that adds a date stamp to a
        page, or looks things up in a database which may vary over time, is not.

        Why is this a big deal? Let's say you have the following setup:

         <Files ~ "\.boffo$">
          SetHandler perl-script
          PerlSetVar Filter On
          PerlHandler Apache::FormatNumbers Apache::DoBigCalculation
          # The above are fake modules, you get the idea
         </Files>
