[mod-security-users] 1.8RC1 is out

[Ivan R. <iv...@we...>]

Guys,

mod_security 1.8 Release Candidate 1 is out. It is the best
version of mod_security yet and, to the best of my knowledge,
without any faults (although there is a small chance that I've
introduced some making small changes in the last couple of
days).

I've been working on the 1.8 for months. The new Apache 1.x
version is 50K larger (total of 140K). Apache 2.x version is
60K larger (160K total). You can see this is the largest
single improvement since the beginning.

From here on there will be no improvements made, only bug
fixes until the official release on June 16. Also, the final
code review will be performed. If bugs are discovered, new
release candidates will be released weekly. The release date
is set in stone.

I would appreciate if you would download and try this version
on your production systems, so we can have a smooth release
of a new stable version. I am eager to put this release behind
us and focus on the improvements in the next development
cycle.

Thanks!
