With Apache's APR page stating that 1.7.0 is the best available version, the current version 1.6.5 breaking with MySQL 8.0 installed, and MySQL 5.7 EOS in 14-15 months, I'm requesting an upgrade of the official devel/apr1 from 1.6.5 to 1.7.x. New projects are starting, and not wanting to have to do a major version upgrade in a year, when they can do a greenfield start now. Thanks.
I work on a update

[Yann Ylavic, William Rowe] *) apr_file_info: [Win32 only] Treat only "name surrogate" reparse points as symlinks, and not other reparse tag types. PR47630 [Oleg Liatte <olegliatte gmail.com>] *) Test %ld vs. %lld to avoid compiler emits using APR_OFF_T_FMT, in the case of apparently equivilant long and long long types. [William Rowe] *) Recognize APPLE predefined macros as equivilant to DARWIN. [Jim Jagielski] *) Signals: Allow handling of SIGUSR2 in apr_signal_thread. [Yann Ylavic] *) Atomics: Support for 64bit ints. [Jim Jagielski] *) Add the apr_encode_* API that implements RFC4648 and RFC7515 compliant BASE64, BASE64URL, BASE32, BASE32HEX and BASE16 encode/decode functions. [Graham Leggett] *) rand: Use arc4random_buf() on BSD platforms and getrandom() on Linux, when available. [Christian Weisgerber <naddy openbsd.org, Yann Ylavic] *) Add apr_sockaddr_zone_set, apr_sockaddr_zone_set to set and retrieve the zone for link-local IPv6 addresses. [Joe Orton] *) apr_sockaddr_equal: Compare link-local IPv6 addresses with different zones as not equal. [Joe Orton] *) apr_sockaddr_ip_getbuf, apr_sockaddr_ip_get: Append "%zone" for IPv6 link-local addresses. [Joe Orton] *) Locks: add a --disable-timedlocks config option in case users encounter more platforms where it fails [Nick Kew]. *) apr_allocator, apr_pools: Add apr_allocator_page_size() and apr_allocator_min_order_set() to respectively get the (system's) page size in use and set the minimum allocation size for an allocator (expressed in 2^order pages). [Yann Ylavic] *) locks: provide portable implementations of timedlock()s for posix-sems, sysv-sems and pthreads for those platforms that lack native versions (eg: OSX/macOS). [Jim Jagielski] *) locks: Introduce apr_{thread,proc,global}_mutex_timedlock().
