requested by the Windows wrapper: update the cmake_layout configuration or the

Updated versions of libxml2, libcurl, and lmdb in README.
Added logic to read the ModSecurity version from the header file and update the project version accordingly.
Drop the Conan cache from the release build (cache poisoning), pin Conan, fail on DLL dependencies outside an allowlist, attest build provenance, publish only for v3.X.Y tags, and ship a PDB with the Release packages. Leave the project version in build/win32/CMakeLists.txt as it was; owasp-modsecurity#3653 replaces it with the version read from modsecurity.h.

What
This PR updates the CI environments and fixes the Windows dependency build for Conan 2 and Visual Studio 2026.
Expand
ci_new.ymlto Ubuntu 24.04/26.04 and Windows 2022/windows-2025-vs2026, addxcode-27to the existing macOS matrix, and update checkout steps toactions/checkout@v7.Remove the duplicate Windows 2022 build/test job from
ci.yml; Windows 2022 remains covered byci_new.yml.Keep
libpcre3-devand the--with-pcrematrix entries on Ubuntu 24.04. Skip the package and exclude those entries only on Ubuntu 26.04, while retaining PCRE2 coverage.Replace the Windows
conanfile.txtwith a Conan 2 Python recipe usingCMakeDeps,CMakeToolchain, andcmake_layout. Keep generated files inbuild/win32/build/generatorsand build/test outputs inbuild/win32/build.Add a local YAJL 2.1.0 recipe, exported as
yajl/2.1.0@modsecurity/ci, with a CMake 4 compatibility patch.Update
vcbuild.batto use explicit host/build profiles and Conan-generated CMake presets, and stop immediately on export, install, configure, or build errors while preserving the exit code.Install Conan
>=2.27.1,<3and CMake>=4.2,<5in Windows CI. Refresh the Windows dependencies to PCRE2 10.49, libxml2 2.15.4, libcurl 8.22.0, LMDB 1.0.2, and Poco 1.15.4; align the Windows CMake project version with 3.0.17 and update the build guide.Derive the Windows CMake project version from "MODSECURITY_MAJOR", "MODSECURITY_MINOR", and "MODSECURITY_PATCHLEVEL" in "headers/modsecurity/modsecurity.h", using the same source as "configure.ac". Register the header with "CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS" so version changes trigger reconfiguration, and fail configuration unless each component has exactly one matching numeric definition.
Why
The Visual Studio 18 2026 generator requires CMake 4.2 or newer. The existing ConanCenter YAJL patch sets
CMP0026toOLD, and YAJL reads theLOCATIONproperty ofjson_reformatandjson_verifyduring configuration. CMake 4 no longer supports that policy behavior, causing the dependency build to fail before ModSecurity can be configured.The additional YAJL patch removes
CMP0026 OLDand replaces both target-path lookups with$<TARGET_FILE:...>generator expressions. The post-build copy commands therefore resolve the executable path for the active build configuration. The recipe retains ConanCenter's static/shared options and packaging behavior, and the local reference ensures that the Windows consumer selects the patched recipe.Conan's generated presets keep the Visual Studio generator, toolchain path, and output layout consistent with the detected compiler profile. This supports the separate Windows 2022 and VS 2026 matrix entries and gives CI the original failure code when a build step fails.
The Ubuntu 26.04 package change also requires excluding the PCRE1 configuration: a
--with-pcrebuild would still request the library after its development package was omitted. Ubuntu 24.04 retains both the package and PCRE1 test coverage. Consolidating the Windows jobs avoids duplicate runs across the two workflows.The Windows CMake version was maintained separately and could drift from the public header. Reading the three numeric components from that header keeps the Windows project version and the generated "PACKAGE_VERSION" aligned with the source version without another manual update to "CMakeLists.txt" for each release.
Validation
ubuntu-26.04andxcode-27were excluded from that local lint check. Runner availability remains subject to GitHub CI.CMP0026and bothLOCATIONfailures with CMake 4.4.3. Built and installed the patched YAJL in Debug and Release using CMake 4.4.3, Ninja Multi-Config, and Zig/Clang; verified the configuration-specific copy paths and JSON tool behavior.The local YAJL builds used Zig/Clang. A complete ModSecurity build with MSVC/Visual Studio 2026 was not performed locally. At this update, the PR checks include a failing SonarCloud quality gate on the new-code security rating. The full PR CI workflows are still in progress: Quality Assurance new and Quality Assurance.
