This is the CRS newsletter covering the period from Early February until today.
We held our monthly community chat. We had quite a few people stop by.
- csanders
- franbuehler
- agi
Our agenda from before the chat is available here. During the chat we discussed the following:
We added support for ModSecurity-v3/Apache and Modsecurity-v2/Nginx to the CRS Support ModSecurity Docker Repos. These will be used when testing before a release. Additionally, we will be adding testing with Nginx+FTW in addition to Apache+FTW.
A blog about the current CI process will be created for next month.
Issue #990 status : Only issue was with FTW failing tests, this has since been fixed. This was merged.
CRS Summit at AppSec EU: The proposed CRS Summit will be on July 4, 4pm in London, the closing day of the trainings, the night before the real conference starts.
Dune73, Tin Zaw, and csanders-git submitted CFPs to AppSec EU.
#1013 FP resolution status: was merged.
#994 File detection: was built against ubuntu with ModSecurity on Apache. This was causing conflicts. We decided as an organization to switch our CI testing env to Ubuntu (instead of fedora).
#989 Fix Regression Tests: For some reasons even though tests were fixed, these still failed, we'll be rebasing and that should fix the issue.
remaining @azhao155 issues represent actual issues with how the rules are written.
CRS 3.1 release date shooting for May 2018
