The other mirrors should have it shortly.

     There are no critical fixes in this release that require an upgrade,
but several minor improvements have been made, the most notable being that
nicknames in a waiting-for-authorization state now always use a 60-second
kill/nickchange timeout regardless of any SET KILL QUICK/IMMED setting, to
give the user a reasonable amount of time in which to enter the
authorization code, and that MemoServ SEND now requires identification
rather than just an access list match (which had the potential to allow
impersonation of the memo sender).

Changes in version 5.0.13
-------------------------
2003/03/03	Build number is no longer updated if no files have changed
		    (this avoids "make ; make install" incrementing the value
		    twice).  Reported by Craig McLure <Craig at chatspike.net>
2003/03/03	Users are no longer collided if they have identified but
		    need to set an E-mail address.  Reported by Andrew
		    Kempe <andrewk at isdial.net>
2003/03/03	Nicknames awaiting E-mail authorization now always use the
		    regular 60-second timeout regardless of the KILL
		    setting.  Suggested by Andrew Kempe <andrewk at isdial.net>
2003/03/03	Added new section (3-1-2) on netsplit recovery to the manual.
2003/03/03	Added workaround for broken browsers that don't handle
		    backslashes properly.  Reported by <thebeast at xs4all.nl>
2003/02/26	Outgoing mail now includes a Date: header, to avoid some
		    MTAs inserting a date of 1970/1/1.  Reported by Mattias
		    Karlsson <mattias.karlsson at nocom.se>
2003/02/26	Added support for channel mode +M in Unreal (3.2 beta).
2003/02/26	MemoServ SEND now requires identification for the nickname
		    instead of just an access list match.  Reported by
		    Rafael Stuhr <rafaelstuhr at gmx.de>
