============= Version 4.4.3 ============= Version 4.4.3 of mod_wsgi can be obtained from: https://codeload.github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/tar.gz/4.4.3 Known Issues ------------ 1. Although the makefiles for building mod_wsgi on Windows have now been updated for the new source code layout, some issues are being seen with mod_wsgi on Apache 2.4. These issues are still being investigated. As most new changes in 4.X relate to mod_wsgi daemon mode, which is not supported under Windows, you should keep using the last available binary for version 3.X on Windows instead. Binaries compiled by a third party can be obtained from: * http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mod_wsgi Features Changed ---------------- 1. The ``--lang`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` has been deprecated. Any default language locale setting should be set exclusively using the ``--locale`` option. 2. The behaviour of the ``--locale`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` has changed. Previously if this option was not defined, then both of the locales ``en_US.UTF-8`` and ``C.UTF-8`` have at times been hardwired as the default locale. These locales are though not always present. As a consequence, a new algorithm is now used. If the ``--locale`` option is supplied, the argument will be used as the locale. If no argument is supplied, the default locale for the executing ``mod_wsgi-express`` process will be used. If that however is ``C`` or ``POSIX``, then an attempt will be made to use either the ``en_US.UTF-8`` or ``C.UTF-8`` locales and if that is not possible only then fallback to the default locale of the ``mod_wsgi-express`` process. In other words, unless you override the default language locale, an attempt is made to use an English language locale with ``UTF-8`` encoding. 3. Unless the process name is overridden using ``--process-name`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express``, the Apache parent and child worker process will be given a name such as ``httpd (mod_wsgi-express)`` making them more easily distinguishable from a traditional Apache installation. Bugs Fixed ---------- 1. The ``mod_wsgi-express`` script would fail on startup if the user had a corresponding group ID which didn't actually match an existing group in the groups file and no override group was being specified. When this occurs, the group will now be specified as ``#nnn`` where ``nnn`` is the group ID. New Features ------------ 1. Added ``--process-name`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` to allow the name of the Apache parent process to be overridden as it would be displayed in ``ps``. This is necessary under some process manager systems where it looks for a certain name, but with shell script wrappers and exec calls happening around ``mod_wsgi-express`` the name would change.
