/usr/share/apache2-mod_security2/rules/modsecurity_crs_10_se

the FAQ and the reference manual in html form. o renamed
the term "Encryption" in directives that actually refer to
hashes. See CHANGES file for more details. o byte
conversion issues on s390x when logging fixed. o many small
issues fixed that were discovered by a Coverity scanner o
updated reference manual o wrong time calculation when
logging for some timezones fixed. o replaced time-measuring
mechanism with finer granularity for measured
request/answer phases. (Stopwatch remains for compat.) o
cookie parser memory leak fix o parsing of quoted strings
in multipart Content-Disposition headers fixed.
