Changes with Apache 2.4.2

     current working directory to be searched for DSOs. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_slotmem_shm: Honor DefaultRuntimeDir [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix crash with threaded MPMs due to race condition when
     initializing EC temporary keys. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Add the forcerecovery balancer parameter that determines if
     recovery for balancer workers is enforced. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_proxy: Correctly set up reverse proxy worker. PR 52935.
     [Petter Berntsen <petterb gmail.com>]

  *) mod_sed: Don't define PATH_MAX to a potentially undefined value, causing
     compile problems on GNU hurd. [Stefan Fritsch]

     per-directory config. PR 52904. [Stefan Fritsch]

     doesn't always throw a configuration error. PR 52981 [Eric Covener]

  *) Unix MPMs: Fix small memory leak in parent process if connect()
     failed when waking up children.  [Joe Orton]

  *) "DirectoryIndex disabled" now undoes DirectoryIndex settings in
     the current configuration section, not just previous config sections.
     PR 52845. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_xml2enc: Fix broken handling of EOS buckets which could lead to
     response headers not being sent. PR 52766. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ssl: Properly free the GENERAL_NAMEs. PR 32652. [Kaspar Brand]

  *) core: Check during config test that directories for the access
     logs actually exist. PR 29941. [Stefan Fritsch]

     Fixed. [Graham Leggett]

  *) Configuration: Example in comment should use a path consistent
     with the default configuration. PR 52715.
     [Rich Bowen, Jens Schleusener, Rainer Jung]

  *) Configuration: Switch documentation links from trunk to 2.4.
     [Rainer Jung]
