It is a pleasure to announce the release of ModSecurity version 3.0.1
(libModSecurity). This version contains improvements, fixes and new features.

The most important new feature is the support for the libMaxMinddb,
popularly kown as the new version of the GeoIP library. 

There is a splendid performance upgrade on v3.0.1. A significant amount of
work was placed on how to handle the memory usage more efficiently, which
leaded to great improvements in terms of latency and requests per second.

The list with the full changes can be found on the project CHANGES
file, available here:
- - https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/releases/tag/v3.0.1/CHANGES

The list of open issues is available on GitHub:
- - https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/labels/3.x

Thanks to everybody who helped in this process: reporting issues, making
comments and suggestions, sending patches and so on.

Further details on the compilation process for ModSecurity v3, can be found on
the project README:
 - https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/tree/v3/master#compilation

Complementary documentation for the connectors are available here:
 - nginx: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity-nginx/#compilation
 - Apache: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity-apache/#compilation


IMPORTANT: ModSecurity version 2 will be available and maintained parallel
to version 3. There is no ETA to deprecate the version 2.x. New features
and major improvements will be implemented on version 3.x. Security or major
bugs are planned to be back ported. Version 2 and version 3 has a completely
independent development/release cycle.
