Version 3.0.0 is available. This version fixed a bug in the AES encryption and added a new parameter to specify the user name column in the group table. 2005年6月22日

Version 2.9.0 is available. This version corrected two problems and adds an option to set the character set in MySQL. Additionally, the module now includes formatting parameters to compare additional information in the request such as the originating IP address, the contents of stored cookies and more. 2005年2月21日

Version 2.8.1 is available. This version corrects two problems in the AES encryption processing.2004年12月14日

Version 2.8.0 is available. This version adds support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA1) encryption methods. Most of the documentation has also been rewritten to make it easier to build, install and configure mod_auth_mysql. 2004年12月07日

Version 2.7.0 is now out. This one fixes a problem in the handling of the "require group" and "require user" statements in your httpd.conf and/or .htaccess files. The module should now authorize any user listed in the "require user" statement or any user who belongs to a group in the "require group" statement. 2004年11月01日

A present for OS X users! Drew Bell (wf_detoler@users.sourceforge.net) has contributed an installation package for OS X. 2004年10月06日

Release 2.6.1 contains a minor bug fix. When AuthMySQLEnable was Off, mod_auth_mysql still performed some unnecessary operations. This fix causes mod_auth_mysql to return immediately if AuthMySQLEnable is off. 2004年10月04日

Release 2.6.0 contains a bug fix and several significant enhancements. The bug fix was a compile error on Apache 1.x in the 2.5.0 code.
Enhancements include:

• New Parameter: AuthMySQLSaltField to specify a column to be used as the salt when passwords are encrypted with the crypt() system function
• New Parameter: AuthMySQLEnable to allow mod_auth_mysql authentication to be enabled and disabled on a directory-by-directory basis.
• New Parameter: AuthMySQLPwEncryption to indicate in one parameter the type of enryption used.
• Depricated Parameters: AuthMySQLCryptedPasswords, AuthMySQLScrambledPasswords and AuthMySQLMD5Passwords (replaced by above)
• Added the ability to specify many of the configuration parameter defaults at compile time. Previously the defaults were built into the module and had to be overridden in every directory where mod_auth_mysql was used.

We are trying to get a current version of the Windows binaries, or at least current instructions on how to compile for Windows. (2004年09月21日)

Updated based on two user patches. Compiling the source caused warnings to be issued due to missing header files. Also updated to include two new options: AuthMySQLPort and AuthMySQLSocket. (2004年09月08日)

A Christmas present for Windows users!
Steve Brown has contributed a package that allows Windows users to build the mod_auth_mysql module. Note that this requires Visual Studio.

Removed the dependency on OpenSSL for MD5 support, since it turns out Apache's API already has MD5 functions!
(2003年05月10日)

Integrated another user patch. Turns out the change to the connect function call was missing a crucial step. All users who have downloaded one of the versions from 20030316 to 20030318 are encouraged to upgrade if you encountered problems connecting to your database. Thanks to Iain Patterson for reporting the bug and providing a patch.

Updated README after discovering that one of the example directives it suggests using ("AuthGroupFile /dev/null") will cause group-based authentication not to function correctly with Apache2.
See the latest README here.
(2003年03月18日)

Added MD5 support (based on a patch from Martin Willner) and made sure it compiles with MySQLv4's new connection function (based on a patch from Artur Kedzierski). Also updated the README a bit.
