We are proud to announce release 0.7.5 of the bogofilter software.  There are 
a number of significant changes to the software.  Using the new version will 
require you to change your procmail recipes and potentially your client-side 
filters.  Please read the man page carefully when you upgrade.

Download from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter

Here is a summary of the changes since version 0.7.4:

* The header in bogofilter -p mode now defaults to X-Bogosity, but can be 
changed by using "./configure --enable-spam-header=name" at compile time.

* The option names -h/-H are back to -n/-N like they were in version 0.6, and 
-h now means "help".

* A utility has been added to help upgrade wordlists from older versions of 
bogofilter to the current format.  See the UPGRADE file for more information.

* Support has been added for the environment variable BOGOFILTER_DIR to 
control where bogofilter looks for its wordlists.

* Bogofilter no longer depends on the Judy package.  We now use a high 
performance hashing algorithm for message evaluation.  The Judy package is no 
longer required to compile or run bogofilter.

* Support for the -e flag, which will cause bogofilter to exit with a value of 
0 regardless of the spamicity of the message.  This is useful when using -p 
mode.

* Support for -u flag.  This allows message evaluation and training to happen 
in the same invocation of bogofilter.

* Extended TOKEN patterns to improve support for european languages.

* Improved wordlist locking to prevent data corruption.

* Added procmail recipes for example usage in the man page.

Enjoy,

The Bogofilter Team
