Hello,
I have tagged Maxima 5.13.0 release candidate 2 in CVS
as release-5_12_99rc2 and posted tar.gz, rpm, and srpm files
to the SF file manager:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4933
Vadim, if you can create a Windows installer that would be terrific.
HTH

PS. Here is a draft of the change log. If someone wants to amend it
just let me know.

Maxima 5.13.0 change log
Compiled 2007-08-04
Backwards-incompatible changes:
* unstore, fassave, restore: cut out undocumented functions
New items in core:
* unique: function to return unique elements of a list
* New function float_approx_equal w/ associated global
variable float_approx_equal_tolerance (for test suite cases)
* Interface to Lisp string streams: make_string_input_stream,
make_string_output_stream, get_output_stream_string
New items in share:
* vector3d package (thanks to Walter Eastes)
* Script share/share_testsuite.mac to run tests in share
* share/contrib/topoly.lisp: new functions elim and elim_allbut
New items in tests:
* Commit test scripts written by Michael Wester
Other revisions:
* run_testsuite: only simplify expected results, do not evaluate, and
do not call ratsimp; now tests are more stringent than before
* equal: recognize Maxima and Lisp arrays and Maxima and Lisp strings
* find_root: evaluate arguments in an ordinary way
* apply, outermap: evaluate arguments in an ordinary way
* save, loadfile, tex, stringout, compfile: evaluate filename argument
* display code: output space characters (no tabs)
* share/linearalgebra: improved jacobian and hessian functions
* share/contrib/lsquares.mac: replaced with a new version
* share/draw: include geographical data from World Boundaries Database;
other modifications
* with_stdout: accepts an output stream as well as a filename
* share/contrib/topoly.lisp: many improvements in to_poly
* share/contrib/numericalio: accept stream as well as a filename
* many other minor improvements
