  *) mod_md: update to version 2.6.1
     - Increasing default `MDRetryDelay` to 30 seconds to generate less bursty

     - Checking that configuring `MDRetryDelay` will result in a positive
       duration. A delay of 0 is not accepted.
     - Fix a bug in checking Content-Type of responses from the ACME server.
     - Added ACME ARI support (rfc9773) to the module. Enabled by default. New
       directive "MDRenewViaARI on|off" for controlling this.
     - Removing tailscale support. It has not been working for a long time
       as the company decided to change their APIs. Away with the dead code,

     In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP Server 2.4.35
     through to 2.4.62, an access control bypass by trusted clients
     is possible using TLS 1.3 session resumption.
     Configurations are affected when mod_ssl is configured for
     multiple virtual hosts, with each restricted to a different set
     of trusted client certificates (for example with a different
     SSLCACertificateFile/Path setting). In such a case, a client
     trusted to access one virtual host may be able to access another
     virtual host, if SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck is not enabled in either
     virtual host.

     HTTP Server 2.4.63 and earlier allows an untrusted SSL/TLS
     client to insert escape characters into log files in some
     configurations.
     In a logging configuration where CustomLog is used with
     "%{varname}x" or "%{varname}c" to log variables provided by
     mod_ssl such as SSL_TLS_SNI, no escaping is performed by either
     mod_log_config or mod_ssl and unsanitized data provided by the

     server via
     mod_rewrite or apache expressions that pass unvalidated request
     input.
     This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.63.
     Note:  The Apache HTTP Server Project will be setting a higher
     bar for accepting vulnerability reports regarding SSRF via UNC
     paths.
     The server offers limited protection against administrators
     directing the server to open UNC paths.

     memory not reclaimed right away on RST (cve.mitre.org)
     When a HTTP/2 stream was reset (RST frame) by a client, there
     was a time window were the request's memory resources were not
     reclaimed immediately. Instead, de-allocation was deferred to
     connection close. A client could send new requests and resets,
     keeping the connection busy and open and causing the memory
     footprint to keep on growing. On connection close, all resources
     were reclaimed, but the process might run out of memory before
     that.
     This was found by the reporter during testing of CVE-2023-44487
     (HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Exploit) with their own test client. During
     "normal" HTTP/2 use, the probability to hit this bug is very

       'value' must comply to the HTTP field restrictions.
       This directive can be repeated several times and header fields of the
       same names add. Sending a 'Link' header with 'preload' relation will
       also cause a HTTP/2 PUSH if enabled and supported by the client.
     - Fixed an issue where requests were not logged and accounted in a timely
       fashion when the connection returns to "keepalive" handling, e.g. when
       the request served was the last outstanding one.
       This led to late appearance in access logs with wrong duration times
       reported.
     - Accurately report the bytes sent for a request in the '%O' Log format.
       This addresses #203, a long outstanding issue where mod_h2 has reported
       numbers over-eagerly from internal buffering and not what has actually
