Changes since 1.27:

Apache::FakeRequest now isa Apache so code that is carefull about
$r and checks that $r->isa('Apache') will not fail [David Wheeler
<david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Add Mac OS X support to Apache::SizeLimit [David Wheeler
<david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add Win32 support to Apache::SizeLimit [Matt Phillips
<mphillips@xxxxxxxxxx> and Mohamed Hendawi <mhendawi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Change Apache::SizeLimit to not push a cleanup handler if already in
the cleanup handler phase, and adjust docs to show that cleanup
handler is the preferred phase to use [Perrin Harkins
<perrin@xxxxxxxx>]

Rename Apache::test to Apache::testold because Apache::test on 
case-insensitive systems will collide with Apache::Test which 
supercedes Apache::test. So if you want to keep on using Apache::test,
either bundle it with your project (putting it under inc/ or t/ so it
won't be installed) or require mod_perl 1.28 and use Apache::testold
instead. Of course the best route is to port your test suite to use
a much better Apache::Test which work with mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0.
[Philippe M. Chiasson, Stas Bekman]

Tweak mod_perl.h to defined _INCLUDE_APACHE_FIRST only after apache
headers were included [Stas Bekman]

avoid various warnings under src/modules/perl/:
- declare bufsiz to be STRLEN in Apache.xs, and add
  STRLEN to Apache/typemap
- add I32 typecast in Constants.xs
- avoid use of unregistered local variables for Win32
  in mod_perl.c and perl_config.c
- s/I32/U8/ in mod_perl.h, perl_config.c, and perl_util.c
- declare i and http_code to be STRLEN in perl_util.c
[Stas Bekman, Randy Kobes]

don't use $r variable in Apache::PerlRun::compile(), so the script
won't use use inherited $r by mistake [Stas Bekman]

define PERL_DIRECTIVE_HANDLERS so that ModuleConfig.c gets
generated when building on Win32 within Visual Studio
[John Petrakis <jpetrakis@xxxxxxx>]

enable PERL_SECTIONS for Win32 [Dirk Maetens <dirk.maetens@xxxxxxxxx>]

use touch() from ExtUtils::Command, rather than a system touch(),
for the benefit of platforms without touch(). [Randy Kobes
<randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

can't let the default typemap rule to convert sv into char* in
unescape_url, since it doesn't handle correctly undefs (returns an
unallocated "" string, which then causes a segfault in
ap_unescape_url. use SvPV_force, instead, which does the right
thing. [Stas Bekman]

Make sure to start perl, if it's not running, before processing Perl*
directives, with threaded perl and PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=0 [Stas
Bekman]

Add Apache::Module to Bundle::Apache [Stas Bekman]

use $Config{'installstyle'} instead of hardcoded 'lib', to handle
Makefile.PL's PREFIX option correctly [Philippe M. Chiasson
<gozer@xxxxxxxx>]

prevent segfaults in mod_perl_mark_where() when a sub can't get
resolved [Gerald Richter <richter@xxxxxxx>]

Apache::Status: Need to load B::Terse/TerseSize if it wasn't loaded
yet in that child before using it.  [Dan Sully
<daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

document the server_root_relative() method [Stas Bekman
<stas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

eliminate warnings when flushing functions with empty () prototypes in
Apache::PerlRun::flush_namespace [Yair Lenga <yair.lenga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

fix Apache::Status to not use :: in filenames, which is not allowed on
certain OSs [DH <crazyinsomniac@xxxxxxxxx>]

various cygwin fixes [Per Einar Ellefsen <per.einar@xxxxxxxxx>]

fix to compile with 5.8.0 on win32 [Randy Kobes
<randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]
