Different when moving from v2 to v3? Or the other way around? Your wording is
not quite clear, sorry.

Brief summary of what is potentially a big discussion:

v3 has the advantage it runs "stable" on nginx. I put this in apostrophes,
since it has certain gaps in the implementation and suffers from a series of
weaknesses.

The ModSecurity reference platform for the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set
project (CRS) is ModSecurity v2 on Apache 2.4.

v3 fails to pass the testsuite of CRS  because of the issues named above
and also has severe performance problems.

On the bright side, v3 is actively developed, while v2 is stable but no longer
under active development. Also, ModSecurity v2 is not stable on Nginx.

Regs,

Christian
