============= Version 4.5.8 ============= Version 4.5.8 of mod_wsgi can be obtained from: https://codeload.github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/tar.gz/4.5.8 Bugs Fixed ---------- * When using HTTP/2 support and ``wsgi.file_wrapper``, the response could be truncated when ``mod_h2`` was deferring the sending of the response until after the WSGI request had been finalized. * Builds were failing on Windows. Insert appropriate ``#if`` conditional around code which shouldn't have been getting included on Windows. * When ``mod_wsgi-express`` is run as ``root`` and ``--python-eggs`` option is used, if the directory for the Python eggs didn't exist, it was created, but the ownership/group were not set to be the user and group that Apache would run the WSGI application. As a result Python eggs could not actually be unpacked into the directory. Now change the ownership/group of the directory to user/group specified when ``mod_wsgi-express`` was run. * Installation on MacOS X Sierra fails for both CMMI and ``pip install`` methods. This is because Apple removed ``apr-1-config`` and ``apu-1-config`` tools needed by ``apxs`` to install third party Apache module. A workaround has been incorporated so that installation still works when using ``pip install``, but there is no workaround for CMMI method. You will need to use ``pip install`` method and then use ``mod_wsgi-express module-config`` to get the configuration to then add into the Apache configuration so it knows how to load the mod_wsgi module. Then configure Apache so it knows about your WSGI application. * Compilation would fail on MacOS X Sierra as the API was changed for obtaining task information. This was used to get memory used by the process. New Features ------------ * Add ``WSGIIgnoreActivity`` directive. This can be set to ``On`` inside of a ``Location`` directive block for a specific URL path, and any requests against matching URLs will not trigger a reset of the inactivity timeout for a mod_wsgi daemon process. This can be used on health check URLs so that periodic requests against the health check URL do not interfere with the inactivity timeout and keep the process running, rather than allowing the process to restart due to being otherwise idle. * Added the ``--ignore-activity`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express``. It will set the ``WSGIIgnoreActivity`` directive to ``On`` for the specific URL path passed as argument to the option. Any requests against the matching URL path will not trigger a reset of the inactivity timeout for a mod_wsgi daemon process. * Added the ``--module-config`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` to get the Apache configuration snippet you would use to load the mod_wsgi module from the Python installation direct into Apache, rather than installing the module into the Apache modules directory. * Added experimental support for installing mod_wsgi on Windows using ``pip``. Is only tested with Apache 2.4 and Python 3.5. The Apache installation must be installed in ``C:\Apache24`` directory. Run ``pip install mod_wsgi``. The run ``mod_wsgi-express module-config`` and it will generate the required configuration to add into the Apache configuration file to load the mod_wsgi module. You still need to separately configure Apache for your specific WSGI application.
