Hi all,

I plan to commit four more changes during the weekend. 2 of them are
already coded and running, the other 2 ones I still need to implement.
Most of the commits I did this week were only preparations for these
functionally bigger ones.

Already done but not committed:

- Passing back child worker names, lb_values and states from lb to
apache via notes entries, such that you can easily log the names and
states of the target workers via LogFormats (standard mod_log_config
feature). This is very interesting to track your load balancer behaviour
and much more poerful than the standard mod_jk request log (only for
apache, I don't now a component similar to a notes table for the other
web servers).

- Rearranging runtime state and configuration state in the load
balancer. At the moent there are a couple of status bits, which are
actually not independent of each other. This poses some confusion in the
configuration as well as in the status display. The change will be
functionally compatible to the existing code, but there will be the new
notions of runtime state (error, recovering, busy, ok, n/a) and
configured activation (active, disabled, stop).

To be coded during the weekend (subject to analysis of the related
amount of work and risk):

- hierarchical config for the balanced workers, s.t. you don't have to
repeat the same attributes for all child workers of an lb. Individual
child attributes will have preference.

- The proposed enhancement of the pool model, to allow more connections
then in the pool. Will need to think a little more about it's usefulness.

And of course: add the new features to the docs.

I would then make a snapshot available on dev, such that interested
parties can compile and check, and could start a formal release process
a week later.

I know, that new features impose new risk, on the other hand the release
process does also consume some energy, so personally I would prefer to
not split these items into 2 or more releases.

Comments?

Regards,

Rainer
