On SourceForge, folder bogofilter-current has been renamed to 
bogofilter-stable and bogofilter-beta has been renamed to 
bogofilter-current.  This was done to better reflect the nature of 
bogofilter versions being placed on SourceForge.

The newly released bogofilter version is 0.9.0.2(beta) and is on 
SourceForge in the bogofilter-current folder.

 From the NEWS file here's an except summarizing the changes since version 
0.8.0

Bogofilter News 11/24/2002

* New file README.Robinson describes the tunable parameters
   for the Robinson algorithm and what to do for best performance.
* Changed the default behavior to use the Robinson algorithm.
* Corrected incorrect sort order when printing statistics.
* Added support for Fisher's method of combining probabilities,
   as optimized for this purpose by Rob W. W. Hooft, to the
   "Robinson" algorithm.
* The new file METHODS describes the Graham, Robinson, and Fisher
   methods that bogofilter supports for computing spamicity.
* New file README.dcdflib gives some info on the dcdflib free
   library of routines for cumulative distribution functions.
* A new '-f' option tells bogofilter to use Fisher's method.
* A new '-c' option in bogofilter allows specification of the
   configuration file to read.
* A new '-C' option tells bogofilter not to read any config file.
* The syslog facility in '-l' mode has changed from "daemon" to "mail",
   so your logs may now be in /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail rather
   than /var/log/messages. Check your /etc/syslog.conf.
* The testing framework now works on Solaris.

Internal Changes:

* Fixed several portability problems uncovered by the new
   regression tests.
* Added three more regression tests designed to confirm that
   bogofilter's results are matching saved reference results.
* Implemented an object oriented API for using computational methods.
* Split the main module into a registration module and three algorithm
   modules - for the fisher, graham and robinson methods.
