• Efficiency…no longer does initgroups() or open_locale() on every connection, no longer does single- character read() system calls *ever*. • Fixed a condition that was leading to un-killable httpd processes piling up on server machines and chewing up swap space. • Unlimited numbers of Aliases and Redirects are allowed. • AddTypes for the CGI and SERVER_INCLUDES magic MIME types are honored in .htaccess files. • Auth_user is correctly logged for password-protected documents with server-side includes. • Scripts can return Content-types with embedded blanks. • Security hole allowing cgi script sources to be viewed, removed. • Handling of redirects from scripts improved (no more mandatory three-second pauses on imagemap hits). • XBITHACK also checks X-bits of included files.
