This is a major release, adding a lot of new features.

About mod_security
------------------
Mod_security is an Apache module whose purpose is to protect
vulnerable applications and reject human or automated attacks.
In addition to filtering requests, it also can create Web
application audit logs. Requests are filtered using regular
expressions. Some of the things possible are:

 * Apply filters against any part of the request (URI,
   headers, either GET or POST)
 * Apply filters against individual parameters
 * Reject SQL injection attacks
 * Reject Cross site scripting attacks

Changes
-------
This release adds major improvements (the size of the source
code grew by 60%), including improved logging (Apache error
log, separate debug log, and audit log), two new response
actions (execute external program and redirect to a custom
URL), new features for selective filtering (variable names
and variable values), a regression testing utility and tests,
and several bugfixes.


Bye,
