A release candidate of 2.5.13 ModSecurity into the svn repository (branch 2.5.x) is already available. There are some improvements, new features, and bug fixes like:
New features
Added new setvar Lua API to be used into Lua scripts
Added new Base64 transformation function called base64DecodeExt, which can decode base64 data skipping special characters.
In the past, we mentioned this topic here: Impedance mismatch and base
Improvement
Added PCRE messages indicate each rule that exceeds match limits
Fixed Geo lookup concurrent connections bug
Fixed Skip/SkipAfter chain bug
Cleaned up some mlogc code and debugging output.
Remove the ability to use a relative path to a piped audit logger (i.e. mlogc) as Apache does not support it in their piped loggers and it was breaking Windows and probably other platforms that use spaces in filesystem paths. Discovered by Tom Donovan.
Fix memory leak-free regex. Discovered by Tom Donovan.
Fix some portability issues on Windows.
